ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

spanish producer and dj nacho marco comes with the next big thing >estefania<. the man behind loudeast records released on labels like freerange, pacha recordings, ryrallo, so sound, odori, aloia, future groove/mute, shinichi, exun or hypnotic music and remixed tracks for shakira, fangoria, vince watson or satoshi tomie. now he is back with the great >estefania< maxi to spread some romantic house flavour. a1_>estefania< (original mix): simple but powerful this soft and gentle track goes its way through musical sexyness. this track touches the listener very soft and comes up from behind.

phantasma one is the first 12?,, of our second compilation, featuring”clapper” by tobias. and efdemin s “hope”. we are astonished and thrilled this split ep doesn t even sound like one but is of beautiful consistence and adequacy. “clapper” hypnotizes from the first second with a straight forward percussion rhythm which curls inescapable upwards even in the mind of an inattentive listener, pushing ahead with classic machine drums driven with a both glaring and harsh attitude. the crystal surface of efdemin s “hope” is woven into a plait of swelling basses and enriched with extensive spins of snare rolls and precious carpets of highlighted chords which seems to rise out of the drums which carry the whole track with slick efficiency. without a doubt this vinyl will be in every record case for a long time. grab your copy as long as there are some.

larissa kapp was born in some idyllic concrete jungle city called asbest in russia, where she spent the first ten years of her life in a minimal, urbanely grey surrounding. there were not too many things, to keep her away from nerdish piano playing, until her family went to germany. there, after years of piano, singing and dance lessons (ballet, jazz, modern), she started her studies on a music high school, which, to be honest, wasnt exactly, what she wanted to learn.

after a 2 and a half year wait i finally managed to knock out a new single. its actually only my 3rd solo single ever. im very happy with it but ive got mixed feelings trying to describe it. you spend a year working on a track and a lazy shop worker or journalist will lump you into the >cosmicbalearicspacewhatever< straightjacket in 2 seconds, i can at least resist to do the same… anyway, two are quite psychedelic and one is some kind of cover version of one of my favourite villalobos trax. as you can hear ive had loads of fun fooling around in the studio playing the bass, percussion, drums(badly) and synths(even worse…)…

benny rodrigues produces a package that lives up to its name. ‘i like’ ep oozes influences from detroit techno and masters a current take on an age-old sound. ‘i like’ is delicious, wrapped in vintage sounds, it creates a true party atmosphere. ‘reel’ is coproduced with fellow dutch musician kapuchon. this is the sound of old school flavours, tearing into the past and the present and creating a winning formula. benny rodrigues was born and raised in rotterdam, and held residencies at some of holland most influentual clubs from the age of 17. he has toured with his musical hero, the legendary josh wink, been asked twice to perform at the detroit electronic music festival and headlined and closed the legendary dance-festivals dancevalley, mysteryland and extrema. somewhere along the road, benny met the rookie nick van de wall aka kapuchon (aka afrojack for his more mainstream appealing productions). they decided to combine their passion of music, resulting in coproductions for white noise records, spinclub records and others. this is benny rodrigues first release for the israeli imprint, be as one. his releases have begun to find allegiances with artists such as steve bug, radioslave and be as one’s own shlomi aber. being regularly charted and played by the best, benny is stepping into the global arena.

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.

behind the guise electric gang you can find some famous producers who worked together to create this project with a very strong impact on the dancefloor... hot release for the club!
