hard rolling techno

jacek sienkiewicz presents another unbelievably complex experiments in beat programming and string arrangement. this time, polands top techno producer known for his storming live sets goes over the edge, stretching minimal techno formula far beyond its limits and comes up with two epic tracks of enormous proportions. >the one< starts immediately with a stainless steel kick, but what seems to be a digital techno groove soon develops into a cosmic fairytale, with layers after layers of strings, bells and unidentified, but strangely organic sounds, executed with breathtaking complexity and almost obsessive attention to every tiny detail. sounds and emotions embraced within its almost 10 minutes are enough to fill a couple of albums.

incl fantastic groovin harada remix !! swiss american dj emerson has already built a considerable following within the dance community thanks to his dj sets and releases for esteemed labels like substatic, micro.fon, kiddaz.fm or klickhaus. on this 12inch he provides 9 minutes of mesmerising dance music somewhere between house and techno. in on remix duties is harada. he delievers rhythmically diverse modern techno funk that has this certain outstanding element of personality. he is working the original elements in a very creative and playfull way and things really get outta control when the chord hook drops in out of nowhere. wiggling hi tech funk with slick production skills and a great beat!

limited backstock !!! brand new series on minus with exclusive tracks by plastikman, dubfire, jpls, heartthrob, gaiser and marc houle. of the continuing themes found throughout the music released on minus, one constant exploration is the relationship between sound and silence. within the stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where life imitates art in between the notes. the act of finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the inaudible space around that element is the nature of expansion & contraction. limited edition double pack vinyl format features a specially embossed sleeve and black/white vinyl, reflecting the duality of the expansion & contraction concept.

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

there is a new kid on the block - kyrad - 32 years old, born and raised in switzerland and is already predicted a bright future within the drum n bass scene.. incl utah jazz remix

supported by tomaz, dean facer, dave twomey, estroe… de/bug 06/07: >a quite poppy house monster incl. fresh melodies and relentless digging groove< (5 points). *smile!* is the labels first release since its relocation from frankfurt to berlin: in a style which is typical for good groove, a deep and funky sequence, packed with short vocal samples, densifies further and further to finally reach its peak by means of some choral subbass within the tracks last third, absolutely providing positive vibes to the listener. repeatedly and successfully tested live by co-producer yapacc, it was obvious to bring the dub-mix on vinyl, reduced to a minimum: here the vocals have been cut down to single snippets by yapacc, the *master of digital scissors*, to create sort of a brand-new language

detroit s new >soundshift< imprint makes a stunning debut with this intoxicating two-tracker. opening up is the soultek remix of billy dalessandro s smashing >don t sleep< release (which was found in the many sets of dan bell, ame, annie mac & pete tong last month) this mix is nothing short of brilliant and will certainly capture the hearts and sets of all those mathew jonson or loco dice fans out there. it has a subtlety that really creeps up on you and before you know it you re tapping your feet and zoning out listening to the intricacies of the music. truly minimal, there are loads of space within the track which is somewhat similar to the original but still a world apart, particularly in the fantastically eerie synth programming. in the forefront of the song is the shimmering and haunting vocal loop, >don t sleep< which has an almost hypnotic effect. (think richie hawtin in closer) the melody of the title is a delicate affair which sips cocktails in the company of some nicely chosen whirring and echoing noises. the build is effected so subtly it verges on melancholy but halfway through a rumbling bassline, appregiated melody and backbeat hi-hat pattern announce a funkier escalation!!

nice price deal !!! alexander almonte alias sandro monte from stockholm (sweden) delivers with it s first release on haiti groove recordings a massive peak time electro house bomb. drifting beats, squired by clipped background vocals should rock each dance floor. the track will be promoted to the german dance charts within the next weeks and gained already support by a couple of dj superstars like deep dish, eric morillo, eddie amador and many more after one week of promotion only.

notic nastic is, once more, another newcomer act on tonkind, who has to be watched with highly attention. its predicated individual sound made it become a hype on myspace within a month. so other labels, producers and popular djs already are asking to license and to remix several tracks, although it isn’t even out yet. we can t give to much infos about the backround and identity of the charachter behind this act, due to the fact that there is an aim, to stay anonym. that gives us more space to talk about the music itself and esspecialy about this debut release on tonkind

the bpm has slowed right down offering us two tracks with a subversive and insidious groove...though solidly based within current electronic thinking and styles, this ep stays well clear of any clichés....to quote laurent garnier on hearing these tracks >no other record in my box resembles this in any way<...you need to hear it

.for fans of farben & jan jelinek...for the last two years tillmann ehrhorn has concentrated his efforts on a solo project in electronic music ( releases and collaborations on mille plateaux and with frank brettschneider, as well as continuing to work as a jazz musician.) since samplers and synthesizers are the only source of sound in his electronic music, it evolves in a completely different way to jazz and improvised music, the major focus being the development of the individual elements of sound and their function within the composition

'let it go (dont worry)' comes in that clear and crisp jussi-pekka style, but with the fine acid synths and a punching kick drum it's maybe a bit more impulsive and punchy than his previous works. we're entering deeper territories on the flipside. 'distinct only within' is a tight but deep and floating techno/house track which leads over to 'the yellow emperor' on b2 with spheric and drifting sounds

a perfect catchy melody backed up by charismatic vocals and live musicians enhanced by live songmanship the spirit of soul is within and no words can describer its warmth and affectuousness . this is one sweet vocal houser ny - body & soul styled!!
