going home late one foggy night in london, i turn the corner to see my bus waiting at the bus stop, lights on, doors open, completely empty. i get on the bus and wait, a few minutes later the driver gets on, he was hiding behind a tree. now i always call it the ghostbus. stopping and starting, traveling along are the landscapes of sound recordings, perfectly balanced between synthetic and abstract layers of sounds. ghostbus invites you to travel along an electronic road of pulses and distortion, a travel between vintage and modern atmospheres, shifting into automatic vintage synthesis gears, a journey into the dark and cold nights of london. samp gives this music his trademark ambience in confined spaces sound, helped along by nax_acid both in collaboration and with his own edit version

the 35-year-old hessian dj and producer frank lorber is intrinsically tied to the history of cocoon recordings. however, speaking of a comeback of lorber would be both consequent and not thinking far ahead, as tres is an artist collective being rather entrenched in the frankfurt tech house scene.

resident nick höppner returns with his third release for ostgut ton. after last years >makeover< come three new detailed excursions, plus a remix by lee jones. almost entirely constructed from field recordings taken within the walls of berghain, >brush me down< is a raw and textural jam, uncontrived and jostling with energy. jittery, shuffling and shaking, höppners love for funky, off-kilter percussion shines through as he pieces together a mysterious audio puzzle of found atmospherics, club nights and concerts otherwise committed only to memory yet now preserved and recycled. it also is a hint at what is to be expected from ostgut tons 5 years anniversary compilation this autumn.
