coming from the darkest depths of the south american jungle but raised in the city of utrecht in holland, julian alexander is a name that might not have fallen on many ears as yet but we guarantee you ll be hearing a lot of this 18 yr old powerhouse in the future. with a background in jazz and a trained multi instrumentalist, exploring hip hop and underground house and uk garage, julian soon started to craft a unique style and put his own slap and funk into the mix. focusing on a deep powerful sound with plenty of pound he quickly caught our attention as his meaty, stripped down minimalism explores an even darker chamber of the dungeon . julian s hustlin ep delivers the kind of tracks that keep the floor moving, essential tools that can be the perfect transition or the spark that lights the fuse on on the dance floor. can you believe he made the track undrg at the ripe old age of 16 years old. it really blows our minds to think he made it 2 years ago and it still sounds fresh and futuristic. as with all our releases these jams are tried and tested and proved to be very useful for building the tension and getting those fist pumping. their solid, track, bass heavy vibe will have no problem bothering even the biggest bass bins

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

what happens if such restless souls like akiko kiyama and laurine frost start to melt their sounds together? the result is that one of the most interesting piece of art of the forward-thinking techno music becomes alive. ’through the mountains ep’ is a golden section of their utopistic musical imaginations, influenced by classical minimalism, live instruments and the ordered chaos of contemporary techno and found sound elements. all the four tracks contain their recognisable fingerprints. the gently and respectful collaboration is proven by the perfect balance of chemistry. in the collage of their musical layers every tiny sound and every tiny breaks have its own weight and meaning. waving and playful structures, exciting journeys on the edge of reality.

after few nolder, italian fellow lehar aka lorenzo esposito is the second new signing for connaisseur this year. apart from his residency at the cirq club in venice and regular bookings at some of the best clubs and parties in italy and malta, lehar truly is a very talented producer as well. some of you might have heard the free download for lehars remix of kollektiv turmstrasses classic *tristesse* which has caused some attention on him the past weeks and was therefore the perfect precursor for this release. his demo impressed us very much and both titles really hit our taste. and as though this wasn t enough, together with his demo he delivered a remix by his friend and probably hottest producer of the moment: mario basanov, head of the label boso and mostly know under his moniker ten walls.

the first full ep on credo by folker zwart from amsterdam, and here we go with some modern techno amusement like a fresh breeze and showcasing the talent in here. while all the shades are undoubtly focussed on the dancefloor shade 1 is probably the most peaktime-like approach while shade 2 creates an amazing atmosphere with its pure and clean pads and sounddesign. shade 3 even crosses some slightly jazzy path and alltogether a perfect definition of the credo idea to present colors and not only shades.
