ultimately affected by this summer, remain records 007: cool water e.p. by axel karakasis aims at keeping the vibes high for the new season. this year has been exceptionally good for axel and remain records, so this release is more of a celebration signalling the third year of the label, which grows stronger by the day!this 3 track e.p. opens up with orisha on the main side, a spot on tune with a straight kick and minimal techno elements that gradually build up to embrace the main character sample. at its peak, the track makes an inspired transition into funky, laidback groove, where axel works mostly present day sounds with 90s intelligence! the second track on the side is a far cry from orisha, as let it roll does exactly that: it rolls! bassheavy throughout, it s an insane piece of work with smart cuts that give way to teasing loopy layers. this track is a burner for serious techno players!the title track on the remain side begins as a mishmash of dub groove, and a rolling bassline. midway, cool water has an extended cut that builds up with relentless sirens and its menacing bassline that seem endless. in a word: flawless!

after the classically inspired, yet devilishly modern tech-house statements on his last e.p for dessous, comes this too-hot-to-trot release from uk young blood burnski. building on the solid, no-nonsense aesthetics of his previous work he presents his unique vision of today‘s club sound. quite the picture of current hybrid trends, between old vs new, ‚draw your sword‘ infuses classic chicago jackin‘ beats with a soaring, building anthemic hook. the track builds insistently with a tough, pushing house flavour yet reminds us not to get too carried with a tense and teasing breakdown structure. smart stuff that‘ll have you reaching for the rafters, in a moment of freshly spun dance music euphoria. ‚sleep‘, on the flip side maintains burnski‘s clear love of the deep, jacking grooves of our american cousins, painting a vivid and bold picture of modern, teched-up soulful house music. an irresistible nu-jazz-house riff slides between the silkily sharp drum accents, building throughout and once again providing the dancefloor with some serious moments of tension and joyous resolve.

fresh inspiring minimal techno / techhouse .the a side is for sergio parrado, who offer us, a tech-house track, direct to the dance floor. tanto mini me vuelve maxi is one of those atemporal tracks, with a powerful and groove bass, crispy synths, awesome efx and a melody that twists itself in a surprising way. a long duration track ready for the more demanding dancefloor. on the bside, we meet 2 tracks from the valencian guy oscar barila. the first one is anxiety, an authentic bomb that, with no doubt, we will listen to many of the big ones. the song has a phrenetic rythm, a wrecker groove and psychedelic and mutant synths, that convert the track in a mortal weapon for the peaktime. the second song of the b side is giro tutto, powerful and smart techno in constant evolution. its percusive rythm is adorned with an acid and bubbly synth that unleashes in 2 explosive breaks.

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

deep and spaced out tracks, the best being the deep detroit tinged mix from atjazz with some smart juno synth work and jacking machine beats.

smart breaks re-edit of gat decors >passion<

marco remus heralds the >new world order< of techno. hard, but always with a groove which draws the ladys on the dancefloor, the nerven head honcho presents brandnew abstract 013. renowned for his very own definition, he delivers with this release a unique dancefloor destroyer, with >unplugged techno< you get something exceptional on top. this bonus track consists of specially created samples, which have been produced by marco, frank kvitta and quick&smart

you might not think youre familiar with kramer, but chances are youve heard his music before. better known as larrson, the berlin-based dj/producer has released a series of acclaimed 12inchs on esteemed labels like traum schallplatten and bpitch control. he now adopts the kramer guise to deliver a 3-track ep of smart electroinfluenced and minimal house on berlins get physical. kramers first forays into music were as a singer, guitarist and songwriter, it was hearing bpitch boss ellen allien dj for the first time that inspired him to make and play electronic music. his rock/funk prehistory is subtly apparent in the eps a1, >runner<, which begins with a warm, rounded kick and busy, clicking percussion before urgent hi-hats and a hard snare sound take over and aim the tune squarely at the dancefloor. the centrepiece of the track, though, is a synth riff that summons a taste of vintage electro, while sounding purely 2007
