next up on bucharest’s raw tools label is börft co-founder, johan sturesson, also known to be part of the swedish electronic trio, frak. the four-track ep consists in music from the private vaults of the producer, that has been kept secret for almost 20 years. rough and gritty, his analogue approach and stripped down sound define the record. starting with the rave sounding “uncle owl” and then moving to a more darkly atmospheric title track, kord shows his muscles on the flipside with some more techno infused and bass driven dancefloor cuts.
always under the radar, johan has been operating raw electronics since the late 80’s, developing his distinctive sound. as kord, he has released on several swedish labels, including his own imprint. together with jan svensson and björn isgren as frak, they have released music on labels such as kontra musik, lux rec and midlight records.

with previous releases on labels such as chronocircle and tom trago’s voyage direct, magnesii delivers a playful blend of house, electro and tropicana for raw tools. the title track, fata oasa is a melodic, lo-fi delight, full of exotic flavours, whilst building ultrabot shifts to a different spectrum of sounds, with chunky basslines and heart-warming pads. on the flip side, euphoric 660, is a haunting house jam with low-pitched vocal samples and sharp percussions. the b-side gets a special 909-led muscle boost by antenna, known for his dark, but emotional sound, which has been embraced by labels such as pinkman, clone and beats in space.

next on raw tools is irish producer and label owner, costelloe, delivering two tracks much in the manner of his previous works, both of them at the fine line between techno and house music.
while the title track, “infiniti” is definitely a dance floor track, with its rave pads and solid bassline, “pheta x” shows a more darker side of costelloe’s music. both of these cuts get special treatment from two of the most prolific and respected producers out there, lerosa and dj overdose, rounding off the ep with two amazing, yet diverse remixes.

raw tools returns with four powerful tracks from the vaults of talented scottish producer stephen lopkin, who already made his vinyl debut with a banging 12” on the mighty m>o>s. chicago flavored beats and acid driven grooves bolted onto detroit rhythms and swirling pads of analog goodness. comes with a special illustration by bucharest artist, silviu andrisoi. limited as always.

third romansoff on raw tools, romanian hypnotic style

2nd release of bucharest based dj/producer, romansoff, on his own label, raw tools. four tracks with pure raw analogue sounds

first release of bucharest based dj/producer, romansoff, on his own label, raw tools. pure raw analogue sounds on this three-track ep, limited to only 250 copies. heavy! no digi. no repress!

die erste platte besteht aus edits, verschlungenen loops, perkussiven beats und fesselnden grooves - eine synthese aus ineinander verschlungenen erinnerungen. es ist ein experiment, eine suche nach bedeutungen - eine bescheidene hommage an die genres, die mich geprägt haben, und an die künstler, die meine inspiration immer wieder beflügeln.

der zweite teil ist meine persönliche geschichte und meine erinnerungen, oder besser gesagt, fragmente davon. es geht um meine heimatstadt jekaterinburg, die teufel aus dem uralgebirge, die von überall her in meine persönlichkeit eindringen, die zeit in moskau, die meine widerstandskraft gestärkt hat, und das kapitel des umzugs nach spanien auf der suche nach einem helleren horizont. dies sind nur bruchstücke von erinnerungen, dank derer ich hier und jetzt bin.

the 28th split of the series exudes a sweet perfume of raw energy and sweaty bodies banging in a feverished cellar.
