rene pawlowitz aka shed returns to ostgut ton under the new moniker the traveller and delivers the first 12 inch of this new project. under his new guise pawlowitz picks up at his roots and delivers a deep techno record made for the floor. the beats on the a-side >a 100< are fierce, the melodic synth line lifts you up while everything around appears to be burning down. the experimental first track on the b-side >ber< meanders without beats and full of broken chords around that moment of ecstasy without ever reaching a break. on the b-sides second track >bypass< rene says hello to the techno-heroes, rolls out a red carpet and shows them what he has learned. pack your bags and head for the dancefloors.

manuel tur returns to delusions following his recent classic most of this moment on freerange and proceeds to throw another whacking great curveball for those who have think theyve got his game sussed. its quite safe to say the last year or so manuel has continued to push and redifne himself as a producer, refusing to stick to one sound or repeat himself which has resulted in some amazing releases aswell as some fruitful collaborations. recent remixes for permanent vacation, diynamic and dixons philomena label all display his deeper, left-of-centre and more techno-edged sound. here on delusions we have the (bi) polar opposite in the form of the foolin ep. the title track is a beautiful slice of soul-drenched house which goes for a classic sound with simple horn chords, rolling bass and incessant claps spicing up the groove. a simple vocal refrain is spun in like a dj drops an accapella and once heard this will be stuck in your head for days. a firm fireside favourite with all of us here at dog. theres also an instrumental version of foolin for those with vocalitis. flipping over we have the traveller which sees manuel head down slightly more familiar territory with a heavy, lo-slung groove providing the backdrop for some axelrod-style strings and horns, live bass and floating vocal adlibs. a subtley haunting soundtrack feel pervedes as the arrangement developes but the relentless driving beats make sure this track never strays far from the dancefloor.
