vaquero is a remarkable deep, dubbed out piece of techno soaked in spaced out sounds, uncompromising and authentic - a glamorous piece of techno. drenched in that analogue and drugged out feeling a real jewel of a track where catchiness meets the abstract end of electronic dance music.

supported by adam beyer, john digweed, dominik eulberg, ewan pearson, perc, danny tenaglia, dave tarrida. roland m. dill is a passionate dj, trained musician as well as bit of a scientist. this release tells a story of psycho acoustics. so expect >low go< to be something special for your ears and for your soul. roland likes chicagomusic and this track has the chicagoesque feeling in it from the beginning. those who remember green velvet will get a hang also on this powerhouse-techno production! this track will be easily fitted in to every berghain dj set and rock the shit out of everyone on the dance floor. dont expect dubbed out lushness, this is serious dance or die action .
the remixes come from prominent producers around europe, so starting chronological from a2 to b2: sian has appeared on a lot on raves and parties with his surf board. he is an international traveller who loves to be reminded of the times when surfing farmers left their houses with door frames and no doors. his remix works in a way a countdown functions. building up tension at an incredible speed, this track is set out to explode... but sian would not be sian if he had not developed a club friendly torture . sian rides the wave of superfatt basslines and adds a sequence that sounds as if someone had replaced his teeth with thin pieces of metal, creating a humming voice comparable to one of a jaws harp. sian keeps the tension going with very few elements and shows he is a true masterof techno.
secret cinema has been accompanying us since his first releases mid of the 90ies and we truly believe quality prevails, not to mention his mayor chart hit just 3 months ago with “shake ur tech-ass”. well secret cinema is unbelievably massive in his production. we dont see how anyone can fatten up the sound more than he can. but it is not only about tuning and pimping and pimping and tuning... his remix is a masters piece of perfectionbecause it creates something rare... deep emotional hydraulic strength. this is like diving head on into a pool of silicone and getting sucked into it. this track has an hypnotic feel to it that is comparable to radiohead.
darko esser is an icon in the techno scene of the netherlands. his remix takes the track in to a direction you would not expect it could go to. starting rather minimal darkos remix soon takes a turn and brings in jack elements and cool nostalgic melodies that will warm the heart of every detroit techno lover. was it derrick may who played chords like this... these strings are looked up in the back of our heads like childhood memories of having your first popcycle exploding in your mouth. this is soulful music with just enough analogue imperfection and warmth to it.

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

supported by: richie hawtin, dubfire, john digweed, anja schneider, electric indigo, sian, christian martin, ivan smagghe !! trapez headliner alex under releases with this 4 track ep a stunning follow up to >muscle tracks<. titled >muscle tracks ii<, this release has a lot to offer from the housy but almighty fat >firebird< to the speeding >mustang<.
>mustang< is a perfect techno track, it sums up what a whole techno night could be like. it is a fast track but also a deep cool track, when the chords join in one gets close to heaven. it is also a track that changes gear and has a nicefeeling for controlling the pace perfectly. the unbeatable cool alex under beat and 3d sound experiments that sound as if ice cubes were rotating in a tumbler make it a super track.
>charger< is a massive track! the track seems to suck up air to created a vacuum and also sounds a bit as if there was a problem with the ignition of the charger! once it gets going it is indeed a heavy rocking track!>firebird< is a fat sounding house track, which can be plaid by house djs as well as techno djs using a cool walking bassline and a super tight slapping snare and cool house vocals on top of it! starting housy the track develops into a hi energy, appegiator driven track showing alex unders talent for moving genres skilfully from one end to the other! this is a great track!

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

excellent 3 track jubiläums 12 inch mit einer leckeren techno auswahl, von ziemlich raw - prime time zu bestem techno dub (salz rmx)

supported by anja schneider, dave seaman, dubfire. adam beyer, chris liebing, laurent garnier and many more! following his >turboencabulator< release this new 12 by cologne based artist roland m. dill is a funky piece of shit with two bass heavy groovers that create grooves you will fall for. >taurine on sunday< is a jumping jack track, a happy go merry super dooper late night groover that charly parker would love to do improvisations on. we can see this track going strong with house and techno djs. on the flipside >candy mountain< is powered by a funky tight rhythm with accelerating tight beats, more in your face... although it holds deep hypnotic and subtle moments creating a complex cool techno track.

loved by jennifer cardini, dubfire, chris liebing, mihalis safras, dj hell, florian meindl!! jakob hilden is one half of format b and part of the project red robin & jakob hilden which was very successful on trapez ltd. jakobs new solo project involves his vocals and band skills from the past which he has fusedhere with the production skills he has earned from format b productions. what we get with the a side track >glamouflage< is a cool and mighty organ grinder with vocals by jakob hilden using catchy lyrics. less minimal and a big hit. the b-side is called >ground n pound< and moves like a rattlesnake with its strong driving percussion.

jeff samuel is back with what we think is his best production for years and with one of the coolest tracks he has done so far. big with gregor tresher, brett johnson, john digweed, hot chip, matt john and many more..

raffinierter sägezahn der nichts mit der alten schule am hut hat. roland m.dill ritzt mit >turboencobulator< einen extrem stimulierenden & kurzweiligen track ins vinyl der funktional, frisch und tricky ist. empfehlung !

der titel >muscle tracks< lässt erahnen was hier zu erwarten ist. schiebende, funktionale, groovende tracks die nur alex under so hinbekommt. kurzum, der netteste kraftprotz-techno den es gibt. support kommt von: 2000 and one, joey beltram, ivan smagghe, chloe, john digweed, danny tenaglia ....

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

drei ansprechende minimalgranaten wurden der remixenden zunft entlockt. jakob hilden (format b), dachshund & lophi sind verantwortlich für die allgemeine massenekstase.

jeffs fähigkeit kleine scheinbar nicht zusammenpassende elemente so zusammenzubringen, dass sie ein ganzes ergeben, ist ganz klar sein talent. es gibt momente, und die machen auch die musik von jeff samuel aus, in denen diese elemente für einen kleinen moment auseinender zu driften scheinen, dann aber wieder mit viel geschick zusammengeführt werden. nicht zuletzt jeffs samuels dicht gesetzte beats schaffen es das ganze immer wieder zusammenzubringen und den funk einzuhauchen

wahnwitziger minimal des englischen djs und produzenten gow aka chis gowland. leicht schräg & mit einer breitseite sprachsamples versehen ist >jiffy hornswoggle< quasi die minimale version dessen was dirtybird so treibt

tim green werden einige kennen von seinen platten auf dem us label dirty bird. tim ist ein enormes talent und schafft es hier mit seinem a-seiten stück >mr dry< die gefühle hochzukochen. >mr dry< ist eines dieser stücke das kindliche züge in uns in erinnerung ruft und uns gefallen daran finden lässt, mal richtig aus der haut zu gehen und die arme hochzuwerfen. das hört und fühlt man gerne... depression raus aus dem alltag und rein in die techno welt. spätestens wenn die runtergepitchte stimme von tim green kommt, geht eh nichts mehr. wie der man das mit einfachsten mittel bewirkt, dass ist wahre kunst. man merkt auch bei diesem track, tim hat noch viel tricks auf lager für die zukunft. das rückseiten stück >glow worm< ist so etwas wie der kleine bruder der a-seite. hier wird der ball flachgehalten, die stimmung ist eher dark und die stimme haucht etwas ins mikrophon. das geschieht alles mit einer gewissen unterkühlten art die auch sexy ist. schritt für schritt zieht die dramatik an und das stück und wird immer funkiger...

>flow< ist ein mächtiger chicago mover mit schleifender bassline & stotternden vocals. ein platte für drag queens und glamouröse abende, für wild pitch fans und techno lovers. wie sagte queens of the stoneage so schön - >go with the flow<

incl mihalis safras & liberto remix !! played by: dubfire / mark broom / butch / matthias kaden . die neue 3 channels vermittelt leidenschaft für die schönen technomomente im club. dazu gibt es noch hervorragende remixe von mihalis safras, shane berry & riley reinhold

3rd ep from florian meindl on trapez

excellent funkin chicago & detroit infected tech tracks

slg schmiedet eine stilvolle waffe für den dancefloor die vor vitalität und musikalität nur so strotzt. da merkt man, dass der gute seit 10 jahren musiziert

>rubber suit< spricht eine eindeutige sprache und erzählt von den schrägen momenten im leben. in zentrum dieser erzählung treffen wir auf eine mächtige bassline und eine sirenenartige sequenz die sich offenbar keiner schuld bewusst sind

massi dl blubbert fröhlich im minimal genre (jetzt neu: blubbimal) ohne dabei in langweilige muster zu verfallen. geholfen haben ihm ein exzellentes rhythmusverständnis und sein talent für arrangements

>earthworm< ist eine moderne version von dem was daniel bell mitte der 90er auf accelerate herausgebracht hat. ein gnadenlos linearer aber zugleich funkiger track, der einen in den bann zieht - ob man nun will oder nicht

zwischen clonks, latin & vocalschnipseln grooven die beiden tracks zur besten tooltime sendezeit

kurze rede langer sinn ! lucio räumt derbe ab & lässt ganz schön einen vom stapel

hier geht es um spontanität, dynamik & Überdrehtheit. alles festgehalten im perfekten mixing von alexi delano, der hauptberuflich als >alter hase< unterwegs sein soll

teil 1 eines umfassenden remixtributes für die aufstrebenden polen. der florian meindl mix von >coffeine< ist ein flachleger vom allerfeinsten. keule. keule. keule. bülent gürler lässt es etwas entspannter, geradezu deephousig angehen. spitzending, das

slicker geht nimmer. zweiter teil des slg tribute-pakets geht los mit einem blitzsauberen sandiego minimal mix um dann auf der b-seite etwas ravig-verschrobener mit oliver hacke und reduziert-trancey mit larsson abzuschliessen

new stunning limited series on ostwind !! >een.1< is a really ear candy - hit alert. the great jackin groove and the spooky hookline rock the crowd for sure. for fans of trapez, mbf and earlier teibstoff releases a must have. >een.2< on the flip is a phat building techhouse mover full of hypnotical detroit chords which blow your mind away !! for fans of martin buttrich, carl craig & co. supported by monkey mafia (fat, wighnomy broth.), holger nielson and daniel bell !! >een.2 includes samples fromm mescaline circus by dan berkson & james what (pokerflat rec)<

zwei eigenwillige tracks die sich irgendwo zwischen extrawelt & florian meindl abspielen. hitverdächtig & hoffentlich nicht der letzte release dieses italienischen duos

trapez is proud to present the re-release of jeff samuels minimal classic >lost<. supported by hawtin, villalobos, daniel bell, sammy dee and jeff miligan !!

vielseitig, verspielt, gut gelaunt & groovend. alex under ist zurück auf trapez und bringt so ziemlich jeden arsch zum wackeln. empfehlung

very cool limited trapez logo shirts in 4 color design ...

patrice hat sich bestimmt gedacht: >jetzt mache ich glitzernde, magische popmomente, die man nie wieder vergisst.< das lässt einen auf >just electricity< so weit hinaus in die euphorie gleiten, dass man stellenweise schon angst bekommt, nie wieder runter zu kommen. groooooosss !!

sandiego ist ein frisches talent aus milano. das a-seiten stück >axum< ist martialisch, sehr rhythmisch und geschickt in der ständigen veränderung des grooves der eine >clonkige< note trägt. >rogoredeo< verbindet post detroit einflüsse wie sie slg auch aufgreift, setzt sie aber in einen zusammenhang der europäische einflüsse zur geltung bringt und lässt nicht zuletzt deutlich mediterrane rhythmusvarianten einfließen, die auch ein wenig an alex under erinnern

kommt >chase the robot< einer perkussiven huldigung an plastikman gleich, so geht es bei >worms< etwas deeper aber auch abgefahrener zur sache. florian bleibt spannend

finest epic track with large amount of delays and effects creates a magic smooth and gentle feeling. this is very unique and shows jeffs ambition to extended the genre of minimal techno, to one with more emotion and soul !!

with his second 12 on trapez following his brilliant debut ep >nine hours< released august 2006, the top polish producer slg aka lukasz seliga takes it one step further proving his skil of producing finest post detroit techno music that can rock the clubs worldwide. both tracks are hypnotic techno groovers with a soulful and depp energy. they move very gently and every step is chosen thoughtfully

hervorragender hüpfburgen techno für alle raver, die es elegant & stilvoll mögen. sieben perlen, die alle a-seiten qualität vorweisen!!

after fantastic releases for trapez / budenzauber and traum here is the debut on meerestief! 4-tracks of highquality miminal-techhouse sound! incl. >ronans bbq< (xhin remix + original mix), >rubbed up the wrong way< and >hopper<

with his trapez release >le stelle sono tante< we witness both renatos strong bass and his extreme breaks. the a-side is stripped down in a chicago fashion whereas the flipside is more up-tempo and techno and very hypnotic..

der londoner toningeneur student mit einer lebhaften zusatzqualifikation in sachen minimal-techno

zwei wundervolle post-detroit stücke die zeigen das minimaler techno noch nicht tot ist. in diesem fall riecht er noch nicht mal schlecht !!

kontrastreiches aber dafür umso schlagkräftigeres remixerpaar: andre kraml & gabriel ananda. ananda macht gerade eh nichts falsch und kraml legt noch eine schippe funk drauf

superlimitierter spezialrelease, keine angst, kein neues sublabel sondern eine feine post-acid-hommage an jah wobble
