freakin spaced out / funky - detroit inspired house - pressed on red coloured vinyl

finale sessions is pleased to celebrate it s 5 year aniversery with three of my closest friends luke hess, patrice scott. basic soul unit and michael zucker. i am not even going to give you a review i will let the music do the talking. i want to thank you for supporting finale sessions for the 5 years it has been around. i love you with all my heart

for those turned on by the far-sighted, sci-fi inspired sounds of detroit deep house and techno, this ep from michael zucker s finale underground imprint (an offshoot of his finale sessions label) should be an essential purchase. with the likes of patrice scott, keith worthy and luke hess involved, you d expect the quality threshold to be high. it is, of course, resulting in a quartet of killer tracks. hess hypnotic techno jam -tolox- is a definite highlight, though it pales in comparison to the analogue futurism of keith worthy s brilliant -cyclops-. best of all, though, is scott s -journey into the unknown-, which bobs, weaves, bubbles and spits to the rush-inducing deep house sound of undulating synthesizer melodies and classic, transmat-style motor city rhythm

copenhagen’s echocord colour returns this august with stephen brown’s ‘power factor’ ep, featuring three originals from the uk techno stalwart. scottish producer stephen brown is a name synonymous with techno across the globe having been releasing material since the mid nineties on imprints such as derrick may’s transmat, subject detroit, skudge records, ben sims’ theory and holland’s djax up beats amongst many more. here we see brown join the roster of echocord’s sub-label colour, slotting him in alongside the likes of mike dehnert, nick ho&#776,,,ppner, luke hess and deadbeat in the back- catalogue. up first on the release is ‘sandtext’, a stripped-back dubbed out opening cut fuelled by a robust kick and minute percussive hits running alongside a sturdy sub bass drive and spiralling dub stabs before ‘wet’ takes things even deeper via muted kicks, shuffling shakers and delayed synth chords. ‘back stroke’ then rounds out the release with an amalgamation of airy reverberated stab hits, rumbling low end pulsations and a thunderous kick drum to once again create an understated, hypnotic composition.

hidden traffic comes with its first reference matching with massa’s debut in the techno scene. two original tracks together with a great remix from the scottish producer deepbass define this ep. support from: claudio prc reggy van oers ness exium tensal tetsuo takaaki itoh angel molina paula temple slam regal krenzlin thomas hessler laurent garnier synthek donor wunderblock mas teeveh marco carola kike pravda and more.
