paul ritch is back on drumcode with his astounding new single brainwash. perfectly capturing the energetic, driving techno sound that paul is capable of, brainwash delivers something that really engrains into the memory and leaves the dancefloor filled with vitality. on the flip side, inside me is a heavily percussive rolling track that uses interesting synth hooks and stabs to create a rocking groove that creates vigour and depth that pauls techno represents.

after the phenomenal success of the first release - wmc anthem ‘tripi by sharam (deep dish) - seth troxlers new imprint play it say it is back with another serious heavy hitter, this time from montreals favourite producer clarian.

paul ritch is no stranger to drumcode and has returned with an outstanding single featuring three tracks that will dominate dj sets. the first track >run baby run< entertains us with an arpeggiated chord sequence that is accompanied by percussion-like synth sounds before bursting into a thick-layered sequence of sound. the dark and dubby side of the single sees pauls > astral< bring a funky sleazed out groovy track that also uses a discerning melody.

the enigmatic french trio dop unleash another sonic assault of deep and visceral house music on guy gerbers supplement facts imprint with three bold and organic cuts for your sex. a dark broody and characteristically cheeky affair, your sex opens up this dop creation with a stripped back beat and looped vocal. low-end bass build up the title track to a crescendo that engulfs the senses in deep acid frequencies. this is a nod to the techno elite but fusing a new depth and sensuality to the genre, in true dop style. skipping into subtle and kinetic territory, half naked flirts with reverberating whispered vocals and crisp percussive beats. a lethargic and almost yearning record, it massages the energies of the body with a playful and soothing approach. last up paul ritch tackles a remix of the title track, elevating those throbbing bass elements to new levels with a fluttering and-high energy weapon made to hypnotise the feet, body and mind. dopis the musical summation of a 20 year long friendship between members clement aichelbaum, damien vandesande and jonathan illel, their musical relationship beginning in 1994 as the result of a rock & roll cover band formed for the french national day of music, experimenting in hip-hop, jazz, and reggae followed by various musical incarnations. in 2005 they made the transition into electronic music and last year delivered a highly regarded debut artist album on circus company, noted in the guardian newspaper as steeped not in orthodox 4/4 house and techno, but in jazz, classical, hip-hop and world music

2010 repress ! paul ritch and his quartz music label return with a very special treat! the first release on quartz was pauls own >split ep<. the response to the music on this ep was incredible. not only from specialists, but also from the public. how do you improve on the package? well, draft in one of the biggest names in world of techno to not only provide a remix, but take the two biggest tracks from the release, combine them, and remix the mutant off-spring. indeed! this is just what dubfire has done. taking >walk the line< and >split<, melting them together, and then reworking them to provide what will, from now, and forever more, be known as.... the >split the line - dubfire mega remix.< 2008 proved to be a wonderful year for dubfire. his releases and remixes filled the top spots in many end of year charts. no more than they deserved. his >dios< & >diablo< tracks alongside oiiver huntemann were instant smashes, and his remixes took him to a whole new level. radio slaves >grindhouse<, minologues >jamaica<, gregor treshers >a thousand nights< & booka shades >charlotte< all received the dubfire treatment, and all, went on to be smash hits. 2009 is set to be even bigger and better for everyone involved in this e.p.. is that possible? just watch this space!

limited red vinyl... slamming techno bomb

quartz rec. family is looking forward to start the summer with a bang! here we present you a new series of collaborations between the artists of the label.
paul ritch has teamed up with his good friend paco osuna to deliver a groovy monster tune while carlo lio and canadian friends the junkies show us their skills with the well titled >go ahead listen< track. last but not least okain & hermanez >buds bomber< completes this rocking ep.

jay haze aka fuckponys superb ode to love in general and loved-up ravers in particular provides us with another sparkling gem: the second single from his current lp has the equally romantic and revealing title >i m burning inside<. it allows us to clearly feel that love-fuelled power, but never lets us get close enough to the fire to get seriously burned. jays sound is simply a tad too cool for that. despite all the emotional appeal, he always keeps a wink in store to save us right at the brink. the remixers reboot and paul ritch give far more obvious signals. both of them say loud and clear: dance!

after the huge succes of the split ep on his own quartz rec imprint, paul ritch is reaching the next level with his brand new canniballs ep.this wicked release contains four exclusive tracks ranging from the deepness of >suffolk< to the stomping & rolling >the lick<. beware of the canniballs!

ltd promo

a1: >ondu< stellte auf dem >sool< album bereits einen meilenstein dar, wodurch er seine relevanz für eine extra singelauskopplung mehr als unterstrichen hat. dieser track hat im original zwei gesichter: harmonisch und verbindend auf der einen, und schroff und düster auf der anderen seite. a2 ondu (paul ritch remix) paul ritch zerlegt >ondu< in seine einzelnen bestandteile. er isoliert jeden effekt und gibt ihm eine neue bestimmung ohne jedoch den gesamtcharakter des tracks zu verändern. >ondu< behält im paul ritch remix seine spleenige und schizophrene attitüde aus dem original bei, gewinnt jedoch ungemein an leichtigkeit. b1: caress (chaim remix) chaim fängt bei seinem >carees< remix an den track von hinten aufzurollen. es hat scheinbar den eindruck als würde er dem soundteppich des originals mit einem großen teppichklopfer ordentlich zusetzen. heraus kommt ein track der ganz klar an das original erinnert, allerdings wird die hypnotische ruhe von einer quirligen unruhe überrannt. b2: caress >caress< im original kommt auf einen weiten klangteppich daher, welcher dem hörer vermittelt es sich bequem zu machen und der dinge zu harren die da kommen. und wie diese kommen. mit einer hypnotisch, hauchenden stimme zieht der track den hörer in seinen bann und eröffnet bereitwillig die tiefe des raumes

>summer ceremony< features reduced, dark and energetic techno just right for the peaktime! another bomb ep by this young french producer

next strike on fumakilla, this time new shots produced by french artist paul ritch, well known for his stunning releases on labels like get physical, resopal, kickboxer and paradigma, just to name a few….paul definitly knows how to create deep and smooth atmospheres, without sob stuff….he has resources against boredom!!!! fluffy basslines and soundscapes, a wicked little synth chord and a reserved drumwork starts the main track called > back to time<. after a short and constructive break the principal theme restarts, with a striking sound selection and harmonious arrangements. call it mini-trance, call it tech-house, or even detroit-tech, call it whatever, it doesn t make any differences, the main thing is, the boys and girls all over the world will boogie with a smile on their faces, and deservedly so….trip down memory lane!!!!on the flip another tune called >vaticans bell<, and also another straight forward goin up groove monster with pretty great arrangements and awesome placed strings. paul ritch plays the first violin, he knows how to produce a timeless masterpiece, reduced but heavily effective monster tracks at the end, come, look and see… 10 points to berlin again!!

paradigma bleiben auf der Überholspur! das original verströmt balearische lebensfreude inklusive kastagnettengeklapper und oldschool housewumms und der immer stärker werdende paul ritch liefert einen druckvollen, psychoaktiven remix ab. funktioniert morgens wie abends. gute nacht!

get physical are pleased to welcome paul ritch, following the well-received >fortuna ep< (together with anthony collins) with his first solo-tracks. over the past year ritch has earned his stripes with solo releases on resopal schallware, minisketch and paradigma, and as one half of handycraft, whose le bal masque ep on kickboxer was a recent underground hit. ritch saves his best for physical, though, with two minimal house tracks of real energy and sophistication comprising this new 12inch. a master of slowburning intensity, ritchs begins >june< in understated fashion, but build after build, and the onset of busy, chattering percussion, sonar pings and ravey acid lines take things to a wholly different level. ritchs skill is in accumulating layer over layer of effects and then, in a magical instant, stripping things back to raw elements, some of the compressed, filtered breaks on >june< will cause serious dancefloor damage and delight

with two successful 12 releases on resopal schallware (samba ep, winter ceremony ep) the parisian producer paul ritch established himself in the techo scene, his records received great feedback and are played by richie hawtin, anja schneider and 2000 & one. he stopped by the labels get physical, mini sketch and kickboxer for releases in the meantime

the vibrant offshoot of davide squillaces skecth music architecture steps up onto the plate for a home run battering! the new cut comes with none other than paul ritch. he stepped into the limelight with a series of superb and very impressive releases on resopal and paradigma. in pursuit of labelboss squillace and the previous gem from the hand of marco shuttle - minisketch lifts spirits once again with some hi-tech futuristic grooves

fortuna marks another debut on get physical, this time from french producer paul ritch and his studio partner, anthony collins. this powerful four-tracker has a more techno approach than usual for the berlin label, but is sure to bring good fortune to any dj that drops it! the title track is an intricately pieced together affair, based on clicky rhythms and hypnotic bleeps that lead to a dark, filtered breakdown that will push the party over the edge whenever its dropped. motion12 continues with this dark theme, as deconstructed slivers of percussion and a nagging, insistent groove provide the backing for an ominous, acid-flecked bassline that keeps on building. drop this in a small, confined space and the club will erupt! pumkin sees ritch & collins explore an experimental: the rhythms still have that clicky, bleepy sound, but this time, there are fx-heavy drums to contend with and a dark, nagging techno riff that insinuates itself through the arrangement to cause melt down on the dance floor.!

here comes the follow up to the successful >samba ep< on rsp040. three tracks, all dry and dark stompers

after the success of the first release by marc marzenit, its now the moment for the french fellow paul ritch known from his first release on the well known german label resopal.
