joel mull is more than a contemporary techno artist. he definitely will be known as one of few who more than rode but created the wave and will always be mentioned regarding the fact that he underlines the message that techno will never die! he made his choice in his early adolescence attending a music school and spending hours and days at the piano and keyboard. he is amongst the top 4 swedish electronic musicians with the likes of adam beyer, cari lekebusch and jesper dahlbäck. he started traveling around the globe more than a decade ago and quickly made himself well known as tasty bit of the electronic world with great dj-sets and astonishing live performances which are a must have seen even for the hardest critic. he is a quiet guy who learned his handcraft and evolved into a genius producer who incorporates all his listening experiences in his music. code red, drumcode, kanzleramt, inside records, primeevil, loop records, superstition records, svek, tortured records, turbo, underwater …are some of the platforms which aid him spreading the message

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

>the dawn< is a moody, undulating cruiser of a track, which will subtly but surely make a dancefloor feel a sense of sunrise, whatever time of day or night. busy, clicky percussion sets the scene for a full-bodied, rising, almost trancey bassline to take control. t ups the intensity with real dancefloor nous and precision programming, layering distressed synth sounds and heavily treated keys atop each other while never losing sight of the tracks fierce ,fundamental groove. ‘the dawn’ builds and builds, by turns dropping out the percussion and the bassline, every departure and return a heads-down, hands-aloft dancefloor moment. the crisp snares and rich, melodic notes of delay add even more depth to what is already an essential tune. b-side >jam pot< is more playful, and driven by a classic physical bass melody - at once intimate and techy, dubby and dancefloor-urgent, gritty but optimistic. again, the attention to detail on the percussion takes this track to the next level, and jazzy keys provide an organic ontrast to the robotic blips and bleeps.
