stuck in time is a personal statement on a particular time and of particular experiences in my life. the sounds codebase choses to use on this album point towards an alternate universe of where music may have gone instead of where it is now, fusing analog disco bass and electric piano sounds reminiscent of the 1970s with sampled electronic percussion sounds of today. this juxtaposition crystallizes the temporally frozen sonic landscape of the album a musical fossil from somewhere outside the linear progression of time

force sense artist bolls shows us his powerful side of music. he produces a fat peaktime track with catchy breaks and a burner-bass ! moritz piske gives that track a raw feeling and makes a really fat stomping peaktime rocker and uses the leading elements of the original. gauchel produces a new track what contained little sound fragments from the original but with an more shallowly arrangement/sound

one of the most improving label from the present screen, cray1 labworks, is here again to break schemes with >flashcam ep<, maybe the best maxi that theyve ever published. what is for sure is that they keep the wonderful quality level from their last works, praised by artists like angel molina, david duriez, hd substance, inigo kennedy or leandro gamez including magazines of the prestige of debug, trax mag or groove. in their fifth reference they possess an exceptional binomial formed by the german phil stumpf and the french sam rouanet a.k.a reynold, or what is the same duplex100

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

no other than chilean sunnyboy and groove scientist luciano is taking us on the a-side on a long ride of lush but infectious minimalism. eleven minutes strong, luciano does what he does best and unfolds a continuous flow of subtle rhythmic changes, melodies and field recordings to create an overall hypnotic feel that sucks you in right from the start. think his last ep on cadenza with thomas melchior and add an eerie feel to it. on the flip side the enigmatic duo eat (both integrat parts of the diamonds and pearls family) steps up for some serious dancefloor destruction. what starts off as a pulsating acidic techno-monster that creeps up from the depths of a pile of analog synthesizers, turns into a breakbeat chopping electro-jam that will leave you behind with bleeding ears and thumping hearts, before the track jumps right back to techno peaktime.
