when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

on the remix front, one of our all time favourite producers, abe duque (nyc), does what he does best and turns out an incredibly twisted dance floor beast. both tracks here bring the noise. hope you enjoy...

yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

a fantastic four track release that shows off lisas vocal skills alongside a slate of slamming remixes. lisas performance partner miguel migs turns in a bumping deep house groove that recalls classic nyc garage, while blue sixs jay denes goes the minimal soulful route with his typically sublime and subdued vocal style. other mixes include a chunky, breaky house rub from scott hardkiss and a slamming electro house dub from eric stamile.

disc 2 features mixes from dfa/lcd soundsystem main man juan maclean with a nyc style mix.
