axel karakasis once more unleashes his talents and demonstrates his skills in the piranha e.p. in the first track on the main side, the techno wizkid mightily combines a set of systemshaking loops and detroitfunklike piano keys that escalate into a crazy pitching, distortion not to be messed with! add to these some powerful percussion and ominus snares, together with karakasis trademark filter spins and twists and its an epic track that stands out on its own. bloody chamber alternates between nocturnal basslines, vicious subbass and high-pitched synths that are spinetingling. here, axel flirts with electro but you can always rely on him to bring in some serious groove: the result is solid, coherent and the track is something more than special!! the remain side proves equally mindblowing and. flesh eating! piranha is a stunner, adorned with aggressive drums, booming beats and odd sounds throughout the track. once again, it is axels energetic style that comes through, making this track a powerful club tool

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

wahoo and lovebirds on remix duties here!! quality deep house bizz as you would always expect from these remixers!!!
