t u n n e l returns on etichetta nera with a terse, broken beat anthem asking the question, *how many of you out there ... have ever been ... part of a ritual?*. with cross-atlantic deep treatments by victor martinez (psycho skunk, calahorra), corbin davis (blank code, detroit), and darren quail (animal farm, glasgow), the ritual ep crosses datelines and sonic boundaries with one purpose: to get deep on the dancefloor.

the old stager and stuttgart-representative of the minimalistic house and techno scene vladimir corbin and his ally peddy collaborate on mos ferry number 55. the icing on the cake is the label owners appearance as remix producer! >sinner city (feat. sackjo22)< is a variable and very synthetic techhouse track with a good deal of detroit – a big-time rave tune that should be fitting in any setting from intimate clubs to big festivals. no hesitation! >the grid< comes with a driving, beautiful, rambling stab. an abused tr909 makes this one groove as hell! in conclusion dapayk gets his hands on >sinner city< and gives the track his very special personal note, a dash of warm kick-drum and a hand full of >hands up< – you know the deal!

incl remixes by ante perry & kolombo and dapayk!

another quality gem on after 6 am in the rebound. redeye - resort annexia from 1995 comes re-mastered. dont miss!

das label acid jazz leitet eine neue Ära ein. es wird nicht nur ein großer teil des back catalogues wiederveröffentlicht, sondern auch zeitgenössische bands veröffentlichen brandneue alben. zu diesen gehören new street adventure. sänger und gitarrist nick corbin gründete die band 2007 mit dem anspruch pop und moderne soul-einflüsse elegant zu verbinden. nach dem album -no hard feelings- ist dies der zweite streich unter der flagge von acid jazz. mit -stubborn sons- sieht sich die band in der tradition von curtis mayfield oder the jam, beides acts die das politisch unruhige klima ihrer jeweiligen dekaden - die 70er und 80er jahre - in ihrer musik verarbeiteten und kritisierten. so sind die texte kritisch, die musik hingegen erstaunlich groovy.

the cryovac machine is repaired and ready for service again. its components are tightened and aligned on course for another round of sonic manipulation. the path is always defined by the times that are endured and the moments of clarity that move production forward. cryovac is a machine that preserves a time and space into physical form. the objective is to move as one and speak in vibration of an existence that continually changes. the people of cryovac are a like-minded band of artists with strong integrity and vision for the soul of techno. their character is imprinted on the sound they make and each viewpoint is a unique direction. corbin davis inhabits a lonesome steady grind that moves without reason or reluctance shaping an environment. keith kemp is a seasoned operator versed in the sultry funk of a sophisticated pimp mind-set. annie hall has traveled the world gathering the correct frequencies to design deep and serious minimalism. a. garcia is dirty and simple, ready to turn the atmosphere to child-like warmth. these artists are the components that form a machine and also a team, focused on producing a brand that stands the test of time.
