chances are you ve already danced to one of his sets at panorama bar – matthew styles has been a regular guest dj at the club for several years –, but you ve probably also come across at least one record with music that went through the englishman s meticulous hands. while matthew has released great but small numbers of 12-es on various labels since 2007, his credits in mixing, engineering and mastering exceed his solo discography by far. with the metro ep we re finally offering a full solo release by matthew styles on ostgut ton

nick höppner legt nach seinem album folk und einem split-release mit fort romeau (cin cin, 2015) auf ostgut ton nach. mit der fantastic planet ep kollaboriert er mit dem japanischen dj und produzenten gonno auf drei lebhaften, clubtauglichen tracks, durchdrungen von früh-90er house und uk electronica vibes.

answer code request picks up where he left off with his album (code, ostgut ton, 2014) and 12“ (calm down, mdr, 2015): with the neume ep the berghain resident offers three new tracks, meandering between restrained club contexts and brittle break beats, machinery and futurist soulfulness. the eponymous track “neume” starts off on a with shuffling rhythms atop a heavy kick, soon caught up by first surging then predominant drone motifs, flashing bleeps and piercing strobe sounds. “meta” on b1 clocks in instantly without any build-up: its rhythm section sets the tone with broken beats while acr slowly carves out more musical detail and textures: subtle command vocals from the machine room, swelling synth pads and other chilling, athmospheric means are subsequently being added until the track’s break where the emphasis shifts towards the kick, pads and synth melodies until the track’s sustained, smooth outro. “vis” on b2 is the ep’s most protruding track: classic uk garage shuffle rhythms and amen breaks are contrasted by a funky kick and dreamful pads, intertwined with additional sparse percusion, layered with what in the first instance sounds like chirping birds but then like sparking wires. answer code request continues what he does best: combining the warm human touch with chilled alienated aesthetics.

virginia steps up with her first full-length on ostgut ton, playfully answering all questions and rhetorics about love, lust and life with her singing on eleven new songs. titled fierce for the night and co-produced by renowned artists dexter, martyn and steffi, the album offers a very personal insight to her inner self while drawing from club culture s long and rich history.

ostgut ton reissues neun of zehn with original tracks by ben klock and ryan elliott as well as len faki revisiting rainbow delta. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. without any doubt, the best klubnacht moments are when dancers let go in trance not peak time, not big hitters, its the subtle nuances that matter. ben klocks first solo production in six years on a internalises this formula: a simple beat, pulsing sirens, a shimmering melody, some sprinkling flute notes and ben’s your uncle. sirens is a pure, hypnotic cut, shrewd and stylish. on b1 ryan elliott underlines why he has been playing both of berghains floors regularly: smith lake is somewhere along the lines of micro techno/macro house, something living inbetween musical worlds and floors, combining tribalist bongo percussion with ethereal synth pads and a delicate bassline. is it safe to say that rainbow delta is a modern classic? because it is! on b2 len faki revisits his 2007 release in form of a stripped-down, bare-naked and intimate ambient version. a modern classic, turned seren

ostgut ton reissues the final zehn of zehn with original tracks by etapp kyle, marcel fengler with elif biçer, and steffi. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12-es individually in 2016. all good things must come to an end, and so does this label compilation with its final re-release. long-time ostgut ton collaborator elif biçer lends her tantalising vocals to marcel fenglers uk-spirited, breaky and dark beats, with, vocals and lyrics aside – its open snare drum roll, the brazen sounds and seething bassline being the most distinctive elements of fallin on a. on the flipside up-and-coming etapp kyle opens b1 with blistering bleeps atop a solid kick, brushed percussion and surging, subtly atmospheric synth pads. there arent many producers as productive as steffi is: löweborschtel continues her past electro-influenced releases on b2: bouncy and rhythmic, moody yet spot-on, dreamy while fierce. to the next zehn years!

ostgut ton reissues acht of zehn with original tracks by din (aka efdemin and marcel fengler), fiedel and tobias. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. bubbling synths, a stoic bassdrum, some live hi-hat percussion and synth pads full of bliss – what started as marcel fengler’s and efdemins inaugural collaboration as din for 2013s masse ballet sees its continuation in form of mono on a1. on a2 fiedel contrasts the opening tracks cool sounds with an upbeat contribution: probe-806 gently brushes funk, electro, acid and even boogie territory atop the general muscular rhythm. analogue synth aficionados are being served by tobias.: like a drug is a minimalist techno track with maximalist dancefloor effect through its use of haunting, distanced vocal fragments, discomforting alarm tones and crackling background textures. as with every good drug, you dont necessarily want more of it, but rather a longer duration of effect (in this tracks case: 8:36 minutes).

radio slaves >neverending< klingt wie die heisseste dub techno version von rj (sex trax / running back 12)... ein killer der nie enden dürfte ... >found a place< von tony lionni knüpft an die gloreichen piano house zeiten der frühen neunziger an , ein mark kinchen hätte diese bestimmt nicht besser hinbekommen... prima tracks für mädels, oder die es werden wollen... bzw einfach für ein geniales highlight im set...
