with *closer* masterton debuts on blackfoxmusics 19th release (bfm019). *closer* is a warm track with a deep groove and beautiful melodies. it relates to living in a long distance relationship and overcoming a lack of proximity.
robert babicz (babiczstyle, systematic, bedrock records) created an incredible remix. he used lots of the original melodies, combined them with new elements, added rolling drums and a thick bassline to give the track the extra drive. his remix became a constant part of his live sets and was debuted with great response at grelle forelle (vienna) and ritter butzke (berlin).
channel x (stil vor talent) remixed *closer* into a pretty cool and clubby deep house track. you can feel their berlin origin when listening to the groovy bassline with variations of the melody. finally the breaks capture the mood of the dissonant sounds from the original track.

sometimes your creating a declaration of love - automatically. beatamines composed many of those lines for extraordinary, dancing people, for electronic music and the possibility to express himself with tracks like >i said< or >something soul<. his tracks were released on mbf (traumschallplatten), damm records, keno and on his mother-label mangue records. but beatamines does not only work as a solo producer, he also releases tracks with his mate david jach - each number got a place in the charts .he is packing the emotions of a summer love into it, underlined with fat baselines, pregnant claps and magic melodies. we welcome beatamines as new bondage-music member. his first ep on bondage-music comes with the track >tonite< incl. remix from dachshund (highgrade) and the track >wknd< incl. remix from channel x (stil vor talent). early support from mihai popoviciu, pimont, patrick kunkel, tom novy, sis, benno blome, david keno, kiki, anderson noise, sven vaeth, pawas, sasha, acid pauli, robert owens, heartik, aruba, affkt, patrick zigon, someone else, oliver schories

on a summer weekend in august during the crazy lifetime of the berliner bar 25, pianist laura weider challenged herself to a particular kind of concert in the circus. this 40 hour performance was witnessed as the longest concert of a solo artist and subsequently made it into the guiness book of wold records.

while channel x took us on a full-length musical journey through their very own ‘wonderland in september, this follow-up remix package guarantees to drag you even deeper into the metaphorical rabbit hole thanks to mind-altering reworks by doctor dru, robosonic, nico stojan and our competition winners, juicy jay & sh.

im rahmen ihres zweiten albums laden uns die berüchtigten berliner partylieblinge channel x auf eine verrückte reise in ihr ganz persönliches wonderland ein. inspiriert von lewis carrolls psychedelischem klassiker um alice? bewusstseinserweiterndes erlebnis im eigenen paralleluniversum, liefern miko und andré quasar einen zutiefst euphorischen einblick in ihr musikalisches rabbit hole. so treffen auf der ersten von zwei vinyl 12? bewährte soundtexturen des tech house-spektrums auf straffen deep house, jeweils mit einem ohr für?s detail, aber natürlich auch der liebe zur tanzfläche, produziert.

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

salome heisst nicht nur der a1 track der neuen upon you single von channel x, sondern auch der titel eines bekannten orientalischen foxtrotts, komponiert im jahr 1920 von robert stolz. von foxtrott ist bei channel x im jahr 2011 nicht viel zu hören, dafür schielt der moderne künstler immer noch gerne ins morgenland und holt sich so seine inspirationen für den okzidentalen clubwahnsinn. für eine propere platte setzen sich die beiden sogar in den >orient express< und lassendie kulturellen quellen der inspiration am a2 fenster vorbeiziehen. während ihrer reise salben die kollegen audiojack noch mal salome mit ihrer patentierten tanzpaste, die momentan so ziemlich jeden uns bekannten dancefloor schmiert... runde sache

with their sixth release klangfarbe schallplatten from cologne presents the first full time ep of the french artists jules & moss, after they contributed two tracks to the split ep >them van / sick up< (kla03) with holger brauns & tim wagner, released end of the last year on klangfarbe schallplatten. jules & moss are worldwide known for their dj sets, they are also performing drum & live acts - at the zoo project (ibiza) or the full moon parties (thailand). there will be more releases soon on claude von strokes label dirty bird (usa) and the german label >session de luxe<. the ep contains three new tracks and one remix. kapoun is a cool & sophisticated accordion track in a typical french tradition, but with a modern groove

big with: chloé, oliver koletzki, someone else, sweet n candy, niko schwind, click | click, till von sein, p.toile, nicolas duvoisin, sebastian wilck, sven jozwiak, randoman, marsmellows, ... the next release from berlins kassette records is ready to rock! after three years and great releases on stil vor talent and upon you, channel x are back on kassette. while touring europe andre and miko produced two solid and really groovy techno/ tech house smashers for their second release on kassette. as a bonus m_ferri and the microbodies add two remixes to this mindblowing release. m_ferri delivers a funky tech house mix while the microbodies (mixed at >audiomoto<) focus on 80s disco sounds.

format b & oliver koletzki remixes !!

this is the first of two vinyl releases of the channel x debut album >the x files<. andré and mirko decided to put four smashers on this first ep: it kicks off with circus-infused polka minimal tech track >freak show<. next up is >strange girl<, the tooly and soulful vocal tech-house that channel x have become renowned for. on the flip its channel x show how deep their house approach can go on the super sweet male vocal track >snug descent<. last, but surely not least this ep finishes with >we love the x<, a perfect showcase of what channel x stand for: vocals, effects, big basslines and strong loops.

bsssssss...diesmal greifen mirko hensel und andre staedter aka channel x wie mosquitos aus der luft an. angelockt von frischen porensaft stuerzen sie sich im beatrausch auf die emsigen tanzflächen der clubs und saugen sie sich von break zu break mit blutgruppe uy025 voll. da fällt manöverkritik schwer, sitzt doch jeder flügelschlag wie ein akkord auf m steinway und die euphorischen frequenzen blitzen auf wie hornissenstachel. so schön kann also blutspenden sein und dem tropenfieber steht nichts mehr im weg

after the marvelous debut concorde club recordings presents this great 2nd release of microtune & takter with remixes by steven beyer (lordag) and channel x (stil vor talent). this is the next step forward, to present the labels own special kind of sound. the tracks varies between deep technoid sounds to nearly minimal house styles and pushes really forward again.

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before
