reissue of a unknown b-side of an early belgian trance outfit release. before they made euro trance they made this heavenly balearic gem. it screamed for lauer remixes and he provided…
unless you have been sleeping it should be pretty obvious that wph head honcho red d has a weak spot for early belgian trance stuff. before trance was even known as trance that is… the early 90ies were the post new beat era in belgium and loads of producers were experimenting with new sounds to steer away from the blatantly commercial new beat chart stuff. so that is when the magic started happening.

two brand new remixes of sparkys eternal numbers anthem ‘portland’ by tuff city kids (gerd janson & phillip lauer). having requested the parts of the original track, the intrepid duo travelled back in time to the year 1991, set up their samplers and got busy with the breakbeats and euphoric synth pads.

martin lewis, the insane house kid from berlin is breaking bad with his new and massive “rewind ep” on freebase records. with his first strike “believer” he delivers a flat footed house banger with a grumpy bassline, flavoured with an hypnotizing vocal sample. the second track “ breaking bad”, a genuine groove tool, is also influenced by martins garage credo. sublime melody riffs are competing with a wiggling bassline. tuff city kids, aka gerd janson and phillip lauer come up with two mind- boggling remixes of “believer”. at the “acid remix” they take out their breaky 90s acid drumset. this one is dry, jacking and sophisticatedly tribal. the “tuff city kids remix” starts with desert- dry acid elements which grow up to an uplifting acid soundwall. a true “jack in the box”.

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

big with james holden, rub ntug, daniele baldelli, ivan smagghe, lauer

sleazy mcqueen and the nasty fruits make their boogie farm debut with an e.p. full of tripped out detroit-influenced disco-funk! on the a-side we have the detroit influenced >neurotic city<. it s smooth pads and eerie percussives blend well with the breathing bass line and chaotic melody making it the most clubby track of the release. on the inside, we find >things i do for you<, a heady deep house workout that will appeal to fans of late night debauchery! we ve been told that it was written late at night after a few bottles of wine, when sleazy mcqueen woke up the next day, there it was on his desk top. we think he should get drunk every night if this is the result! on the flip its remix time courtesy of one of the hottest guys and label at the moment: philip lauer and brontosaurus! the >brontosaurus< remix of >gimme a kiss<, with its smooth running bass line and great pulsating rhythms keeps a good disco vibe reminiscent of kano! boogie on!
