well, ive known markus for a while and hes a damn good producer. hes been here for a while now and has been releasing on labels like maw, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv or deeply rooted to name a few. his music is always elegant and his production has an edge. lately he lets his early rave and techno influences shine through. for remixing, we got lucky to have >redshape<. hes definitely one of the most interesting producers at the moment and has understood detroit techno and house much better than anyone right now. both mixes are lo-fi and dirty, with a proper sexy groove. needless to talk too much about it: if you like real house and techno just.. .

the latest offering from redshape in his special style. a -side is a massive track that builds around a seductive and effective minimal detroit-ish groove with a driving bassline reminiscent to some carl craig works. but redshape totally builds it to another level with sublime melodies and a additional bouncing bassline! a track that gets the crowd focused on the music and keeps going for more then 8 minutes! b-side is a typical redshape track, an addictive groove and then slowly building and teasing the listener/dancer

redshapes profile is still rapidly growing. taken in mind it has been just over one year ago redshapes first ep was released on delsin - a lot of things have happened! nowadays weekly doing performances through europe, and two singles ending up in de:bugs 2006 chart. back to now, this new ep. steam comes in clonky and rough, as the track species on his last ep on redshapes own imprint present. light is a deeply beatless freaked synth excursion. the flip brings more hot stuff - starting with munch, a more detroited redshape as before! sounding as a lost 69 track, with its quircky chopped up breakbeats and whobbling synth bassline. plush at last brings in the otherworldy sounds inline of this ep on styrax. catchy business!!

one sided release by one of the hottest names in techno at this moment. slower pace and slower beats with a nice old school-ish house feel. the real hook line is a slow raving sample that goes on and on

in just three years, berlin based artist dehnert has gone from unknown talent to underground hero with his very own >raw techno< sound making waves on labels like his own imprint fachwerk and now delsin, where he finds himself at home amongst the future music of talented cohorts redshape, a made up sound, delta funktionen and more. this ep is an introduction to his upcoming album framework - an uncompromising album made up of pure techno tracks of the sort youd expect to hear on the dancefloors of places like berghain or tresor. they go from pulsing and classic sounding to skipping and glitchy, through greyed-out and sandy via swinging and syncopated but always with a sense of restraint and control whether they are abstract, apocalyptic, atmospheric or whatever else. although his tracks are undeniably functional, at the same time, they are neither nondescript nor forgettable: somehow, through masterful sound designs and an accomplished knack for blending real tension and atmosphere with his obvious basic channel and berghain influences, mike dehnert manages to lock you into whatever mood takes his fancy with apparent ease.
