after the highly anticipated release of his third studio album decay, efdemin presents the first part of a remix series featuring his favourite producers. bristols underground hero asusu inflates the reduced album opener some kind of up and down yes with deepest bass and beautiful scapes to the max in a true photek-style. last years control by staffan linzatti was one of the favourite constants to be played in every efdemin or lawrence set. luckily his version of solaris is another epic hymn here with futuristic enhancements of the third kind.the most extraordinary piece on decay versions part 1 is the borderland states rework of parallaxis. efdemins studio-mate john gürtler recorded that beauty with adding acoustic instruments only and sounds like a meeting of moondog with wim mertens.

matthew herbert vs. dj koze - take two! yet another stroke of genius! when these two troublemakers collide, the result is somehow always awesome

2012 repress !! here comes the second long awaited album of dials main act efdemin! its the main release for dial records in 2010 celebrating 10 years of dial records!

hugo barritt was a promoter at londons infamous egg venue, during which time he focused his attention on robert owens residency at the club. a friendship was struck up and when hugo finally decided to leave to concentrate on production he could think of no-one better to provide the vocals to you are than the most recognisable voice in dance music, mr owens himself.befitting such a wonderful coupling, efdemin heard the track and agreed immediately to provide the remix,and a splendidly slick ride it is too, taking the merest hints of roberts vocal whilst injecting a melodic feel for a blissed out ride through the early hours. contrast that with high octane thrills of murmur regular tom demacs remix - dispensing with the subtleties of the original in favour of a power house ride of beats and bass, warping roberts vocal into something altogether sleazier.

die drei stella - bandmitglieder elena lange, mense reents und thies mynther sind in fachkreisen keine unbekannten. der eine, reents, machte gleichzeitig als teil des duos egoexpress furore (heute ist er auch mitglied der goldenen zitronen).mynther wiederum ist eine hälfte von phantom/ghost, tasteninstrumentalist bei superpunk, theater-komponist ( 1534 mit showcase beat le mot, die heilige johanna der schlachthöfe am dt berlin unter der regie von nicolas stemann, filmkomponist ( die anruferin ) und überhaupt schon eine weile unterwegs.

the second edition of efdemins successful chicago series comes up with another outstanding bundle of future classics. four gorgeous remixes by deadbeat, fred p, rndm and efdemin himself make the wintertime starting extremely hot. again phillip sollmann aka efdemin personally chooses a dreamteam of remixers: scott monteith aka deadbeat is well known from his releases on scape, cynosure and wagonrepair. new yorks fred p aka black jazz consortium digs deep again after we already love him for his large output on underground quality, mule musiq, laid and semester. last but not least dials darlings rndm and efdemin get it well done with two modern interpretations for the excited dancefloor

having launched blkrtz to wide spread critical acclaim with his album drawn and quartered in june this year, deadbeat now enlist the aid of two fellow berlin residents who need no introduction for remix duties. working with the source material from the first quarter, scuba dons his scb guise and turns in a slow burning sci-fi techno monster sure to appeal to fans of monolake and his own early work. rife with reverb drenched sonar pings and mechanized groans in the periphery, the track lurches toward its epic crescendo like an alien infested star ship nostromo sliding slowly to its demise into the center of a black hole. bringing things back up into the light on the flip, efdemin tranforms the fourth quarter (calas house) into a chugging deep pocket house journey. riding the cusp of a rubbery bassline and molding the chords into a timeless house organ motif, the originals dubwise leanings are heard loud and clear through a cloud of crackling unintelligible vocal samples and thunderous spring reverb crashes worthy of king tubby himself. without a doubt two floor ready reinterpretations and a great sign of things to come from deadbeats new curatorial ventur

endlich!! efdemin has been one of the key artists on curle since his 2007 debut for the belgian label. please includes two tracks from around the 10 minute mark. undeniable quality!

with surely one of the most exciting releases ever dial presents the heavenly dreamteam dj koze, portable and efdemin himself remixing chicago. and when three brightest shining stars collide- the explosion is louder and more colourful than the most magnificent fireworks. stefan kozalla aka dj koze has always been a part of the dial family somehow so it was just a matter of time to ask the pampa label owner for a remix. the beloved chicago album was the right work to involve the most incredible soldier against boredom. knowing alan abrahams aka portable from his first süd electronic parties from london, phillip sollmann (efdemin) and alan always kept exhanging music and friendship
