cavalier ist ein projekt des schweizer top-produzenten agnès (sthlmaudio recordings, plak), der nach zwei eps unter diesem namen nun einen grandiosen longplayer hinlegt. >a million horses< besticht mit deepen und ungeschliffenen tracks zwischen house und techno. es ist ein album, das von der energie der jack-trax-beats lebt. faule kompromisse macht agnès nicht. das in zürich beheimatete label drumpoet community veröffentlicht dieses kleinod als wunderschön gestaltete doppel-lp samt beiliegender cd. diese enthält die 10 stücke der vinylversion sowie neun weitere tracks!
deepe house-musik mit old-schooliger attitüde in perfektion! cavalier alias agnès ist für seine deep-dubbigen minimal-techno-produktionen bekannt. doch der schweizer, der auch als macher des genfer labels sthmlaudio umtriebig ist, kann auch anders. das beweist er unter dem pseudonym cavalier auf drumpoet community. die ep >a million horses< ist ein wunderbarer vorgeschmack auf das erste cavalier-album, das im herbst auf dem züricher label drumpoet community als doppel-lp und download erscheinen wird.
die lp spiegelt die konzepte hinter perennial philosophy von aldous huxley wider. perennial wurde in einem raum in london nach einem modularen system geschaffen und befasst sich mit der perspektive der spiritualität, die alle weltreligionen als einen gemeinsamen metaphysischen ursprung betrachtet, mit einer anspielung auf das lucretius-zitat. -zu solchen höhen des bösen sind männer, die von der religion getrieben werden.-
nichts passt besser zu dieser aussage auf diese wundervoll zusammengestellte und verzaubernde musikselektion, die, wie auch jeder agnes obel-song, ruhe und frieden ausstrahlt. es ist die entschleunigte antithese zur rush hour, wie ein zugefrorener see an einem sonntagmorgen. agnes obel verbindet songs der enigmatischen jamaikanerin nora dean (eine duke reid produktion) mit dem kargen, bitterbösen -party girl- von michelle gurevich, das den gleichnamigen französischen film inspirierte. wehmütige stimmen von the bulgarian folklore choir, nina simone, ray davies und agnes selbst treffen auf mehr oder weniger elektronische tracks von yello, can und der griechischen kultkomponistin lena platonos. garniert wird die kollektion mit neuem agnes obel-material wie den dänischen song -glemmer du-, die vertonung von inger christensens -poem for death-, sowie den song -bee dance-. die doppel-lp erscheint als limitierte 180g pressung mit allen 19 ausgespielten tracks, audiophil auf halber geschwindigkeit gemastered, inkl. bonus-download-code mit allen tracks (einmal komplett ausgespielt, einmal als mixset) in wav/mp3-formaten, im gatefold mit antistatischen innentaschen plus kunstdruck in 12- größe.

agnes obels neuer longplayer wurde im eigenen studio aventine-neukölln und in den brandnewmusic-studios in berlin aufgenommen. erstmals hat agnes nicht nur alle songs geschrieben und komponiert, sondern das komplette album im alleingang aufgenommen, abgemischt und produziert. als musiker sind john corban an der geige, sowie kristina koropecki und charlotte danhier an den cellos dabei. mit über einer million verkaufter alben ihres debütalbums -philharmonics- (2010) und -aventine- (2013), sowie 200 millionen streams weltweit, gehört agnes obel zweifelsohne zu den angesehensten female artists in europa.

geneve based pascal viscardi bring his rich and sweltering textures to saft with his first ep for the spanish label. the swiss producers paradiso ep is already the 9th installment and by no means an odd addition to the family. strongly rooted in soulful sounds with firm aesthetics and blissful melodies, this release is exactly what saft is all about. from the moment the pad in the title track starts riding, paradiso immediately hints to a deserted paradise.
tales from the emax (a2) is a groove laden anthem that will soothe those that are into soulful but firm sounds. on the b side, we find remix work of both originals. swiss house stalwart agnes stirs things up with his thriving rework of paradiso called la charme chambertin mixx. on the b2 cut we find saft familiar jefferson belmondo with a cracking rework of the title track *paradiso* called beach mix. 4 strong, groove-laden cuts that celebrate the saft sound like never before.

agnes is known for his usual deep, dubbed-out minimal techno productions and explores as well more house-influenced rhythms and textures. agnes runs the geneva-based label sthlmaudio recordings. launched in 2003, sthlmaudio has released tracks by agnes, puma, octex, apoll, cabanne, croatian producers luka & lazo and lately the swiss duo azuni. agnès also had a well received ep on cabannes minibar label (treat me bad) and upcomming releases in late 2006 on plak records, einmaleins musik and perspectiv records. he has recently started to collaborate with the zurich based label drumpoet community under the moniker of cavalier. he also released to date 2 ep under his ray valioso name for real soon records in the uk.
mr. st plomb makes everything groovy! the title track >wild at heart< is a banger. a banger with a sexy smile. full-blown organs. irresistibly funky steel-drums. and a little cosmic-ambient flirtation. dig a little deeper with house maestro agnes favela funk mixx, and get carried away in a dubby maelstrom that could turn any afterhour-celebration upsidedown. straight-up dancefloor fodder is st plombs chord-ridden b-side offering >life s here (aint we lucky?)<. a funky bass for a loving race? chicago, here we come!
danish duo, blagger make a much anticipated return to perspectiv, following their highly successful and heavily compiled, 2009 release strange behavior. top notch modern club tracks that come with remixes of agnes (!) and stimming.
big zis and the nation music crew seem to enjoy the trip into electronic music to the fullest. on volume 3 they one more time deliver high-class remixes of agnÉs (sthlm, geneva), wandler (motoguzzi, zurich) und m.a. (gs, zurich). the unique trilogy comes along with the beautiful, detailed artwork of zurich based street artist tika!
follow up to the top 5 smash release me agnes is back with a wicked remix package for the next single featuring grant nelson & 3beats very own cahill & ali payami.
a fresh new collaboration with some top notch house tracks on this split release. agnes probably needs no introduction after his recent release on plak and running his own sthmllaudio, and he delivers all quality. big revelation on this 12 is jonny white with his tikkun olam... already a office favorite here at clone... we keep playing this over and over... somehow reminds of old deeper house tracks by mr fingers (athmosphere and basslines) but with modern productions skills. killer track and killer split release with some forward thinking house music thats embracing the future, without forgetting the past! recommended!
its a hard task to capture the raw emotional elements of deep electronic house & techno - itamar sagi has managed to capture and mold it, on this detroit influenced ep
