jacek sienkiewicz presents another unbelievably complex experiments in beat programming and string arrangement. this time, polands top techno producer known for his storming live sets goes over the edge, stretching minimal techno formula far beyond its limits and comes up with two epic tracks of enormous proportions. >the one< starts immediately with a stainless steel kick, but what seems to be a digital techno groove soon develops into a cosmic fairytale, with layers after layers of strings, bells and unidentified, but strangely organic sounds, executed with breathtaking complexity and almost obsessive attention to every tiny detail. sounds and emotions embraced within its almost 10 minutes are enough to fill a couple of albums.

rmxs by paul ritch & guillaume & the couto dumonts >2 fast 4 u< was one of the stand-out tracks from kook kook, a tune positioned somewhere wonderful between techno, house and disco, and of course it appears on this 12” in its original form. but for the lead track, lopazz hands over the reins to paul ritch, whose string of fine releases over the past year or so – for labels like resopal, fumakilla and get physical – have made him one of the scenes most sought-after names. a single-minded 4x4 pulse sets the pace, providing the basis for increasingly intense, tribalesque percussion, and dubbed-out samples of lopazz s original instrumentation. this unbelievably deep, hypnotic remix demonstrates an allegiance to both classic detroit techno and the razor-sharp vanguard of modern day minimal techno. on the flip, lopazz offers >2 4 fast u< to another underground techno visionary for re-interpretation,this time guillaume, also known as guillaume and the coutu dumonts. beautifully produced, exuberant eps for mutek and hartchef discos have seen guillaume become a producer of note to those in the know

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track
