here at nang towers we are really happy to have back slovenian talent sare havlicek, without any doubt one of our favourite producers, and to present you all his latest creation *movies for lovers*. sometimes we like to try something a bit different. often the process of creating an album can be a not-so-simple task: which tracks are the singles? which is the breather track? do we have ten songs? have we covered all the bases? the list goes on. sometimes the answer is to throw convention out the window and just try to harness a burst of energy and get it down on eighteen minutes-a-side of vinyl. we gave sare the following brief: lock yourself in a studio for four weeks and come up with a piece of cohesive work. abandon the formulas, do some experimenting and (most importantly) try some things you wouldnt normally do. *movies for lovers* is the result of that session and encapsulates the feeling of the journey sare embarked on to bring you this album.

ah, yes! finally some real flavours to sink our teeth into. the nose is truly a work of art. first the classic peaty smoke but so distinctly understated. confident in it s maturity. the salty pineapple citrus is next coupled with a refined lemon- lime toffee tartness. and finally a whiff of fresh cucumber sprinkled with the loveliest of white pepper. oh, yes. this is what we’ve been waiting for! the creamy mouthfeel is laced with intense black peppers but then mellows out to give you honey, lemon and chocolate with a dash of tobacco. the long peppery finish is fruity with a hint of limestone. these are the classic flavours that made linkwood one of the top distilleries and expressions should be on your list of malts to try before you die.

these days house music is often about a 4/4 beat and a catchy groove. the idea is to do something simple to which you can get your groove and, and not so much about listening. the borders of electronic dance music makes room for the hypnotic beats, the driving grooves, but not always the melodic universes. leman & dieckmann have been making music for several years, both together and apart, but almost all of their music was driven mainly by the beat. but both having an urge to discover the dynamics of melodic synths and melodic percussion they decided to make an album. they agreed that the album had to tell a story, and like so many times before in music the topic became love. the story they try to tell through the music on the album *takes two* is the story of a breakup, the denial of the need of love, and the discover of the fact that often in life it takes two, to be happy.

there are lots of producers out there who try really hard to do something else. then, there are these chosen few artists that effortlessly are something else in their own right. durian brothers and their magical array of modified turntables, sequencers and machines belong in this selected circle. so this mini album is a quite special and unconventional release, but that doesnt mean its not dance music - quite the opposite!

ltd repress !!! another main player of the current elite of deephouse producers makes an anonymous but definitely not impersonal appearance on the ever great story imprint. right from the beginning of >fascinated< we get slowely woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress and when the eeriy string, gentle harp sweeps and a swinging yet almost coy beat fall in it only adds to the feeling of hazy, latenight intimacy. >taj mahal< has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and deep twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors and feel like you are lifted above ground and even >you better find a job< - despite its title - doesnt even try to pull you back to earth and into dull reality. its warm pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and flanger sounds much rather urge you to flip that record over again and stay in the groove

emmplekz return server after *izod days* semi-beguiled local sorting offices. *your crate has changed* takes up that diarised baton & legs it to rymans for future remnants - take a dose of plague-riddled pepys, a demijohn of ekoplekzs masterly live voltage and simmer ... switch to classic ... bm/ez

every label has a >release of doom<, a 12 inch that was an incredible pain in the ass to put together and where everything imaginable went wrong. well this new trevino record was it! i wont go into details but this ep is too good to let bad karma prevail. >gone< has been a staple in my sets ever since i first heard it and >regnie< is possibly one of the best nighttime highway driving tracks (try it!). trevino, is he the best golfer in techno, or the most innovative techno producer on the golf circuit? fact is, im so happy this record finally sees the light of day and would be even happier if youd be into it too...

distant places ep – first sound message from a galaxy cassiopeia. it comes to worldwide dancefloors and penetrates your minds and body. do not try to resist, just dance to the beat ... beat of black gold.

turns out that cold meat lights no fire so attached to this music are ghosts of my life transcribing their emotions into techno. first half of this rocket is more on a negative tip, the second half is more positive, like we all should take it. either way you should listen to both sides cause they complement each other, so try to relax and enjoy the ride, or get off your ass and jam.

every place, in which the human being lives, imposes you to choose. we are continually bombed by voices that try to check us and more our mind digs in the depth of own heart, more we hear the necessity to go over the barriers that are built. this way we are and so we will stay. we walk in a crowd of voices and we are continually looking for a something that can maintain us hungry and rebellious against our bossy ego.

when making a track, whatever his genre although in this case it would be electronic music, you can use reverbs, plugings, effects, loops, low bass or many simple and opportunist crookery or you can try a double somersault of talent, riskm and clubbing experimentation.
