incl format b remix !! the 6th release on david keno s own imprint comes with a deep harmonic bass and a fragile synthline embedded in a pushing groove. berlin s format b don t have to be introduced any more because everyone knows their incredible releases and remixes on highgrade, stil vor talent, opossum or great stuff. their pattexremix is more stripped down and rough than the original what brings more rave attitude to the dancefloors. that is why we love these guys so much.

leopoldo rosas latest killester ep offers a warm, organic vibe in its fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. in the new eps four tracks, the dublin based italian producer adopts a somewhat sparse and rough edged style thats dramatically different from the sleek polish that characterizes the output of many other producers. deep by design and funky at the same time, these four tracks dive into a analogue deep house pool of sound!!

number 1 steve bug charts !!! redshape is len fakis musical partner of podium #05. with releases on delsin, styrax leaves and present he is regarded as on of the most exciting newcomers on the dance music circuit. few producers have achieved to delevop such an individual approach to detroit techno, few musicans managed to rough it up so relentlessly. redshapes track is an interminable battle against stagnation, each bar of the track bursts with musical creativity. on >whats on a moogs mind?<, this genre building synthesizer turns into a brain. the moog overrules all conventions of musical form, the machine becomes an unpredictable furious beast. the 808 cowbell develops an uncanny, emotional quality. a techno track as gripping as a cliffhanger. len fakis >odyssee ii< relates perfectly the dramatic tension of redshapes track. the absorbing sounds just soaks you in. through the whole accoustic journey of the track, you feel his sense for the special athmosphere of the berghain which reminds clubbers of a medieval cathedral

lifting by name and very much by nature, this is high energy, bouncy house music that elates you for the duration. the rough, thudding base drums that are a feature of the track are smoothed over by elegant strings and soft keys. shena plays the euphoric songstress to perfection, while the brass and bassline led crescendo will leave even the most cynical of clubbers looking for a space on the dancefloor. marc grant calms things down a little for his remix, utilising casio esque keys, imaginative synths and poppin basslines, while letting shenas vocal speak for itself.
