german producer christian burkhardt teams up with fellow countrymen chris wood & meat for a three-track release on jamie jones hottrax this may. burkhardt has been flying the flag for minimalist electronic music for a decade now, releasing on labels such as cocoon, oslo and pressure traxx. likewise, freebase records founders meat + chris wood have been purveying deep and minimal cuts individually since the ‘00s, joining forces in 2009 before releasing on labels like desolat, housewax and tiefschwarz souvenir. between the three of them theyve continually garnered support from the upper echelons of house and techno, making regular appearances in the sets of names like ricardo villalobos, sven väth, seth troxler and jamie jones. intricate percussion and a compelling bassline make up the foundation of closer 2 u as an echoing vocal and tense strings operate throughout. meanwhile, plain is a more downtempo cut in comparison with its dusky atmospherics and distorted spoken word samples that subtly permeate throughout the mix. on the flip, trumpad is deep and dubby whilst integrating trippy synths and mesmerizing effects for a rhythmic conclusion.

since 2004 chris wood has been working as a successful producer and remixer for labels including souvenir, below, kindisch, murmur, bechosen or levelnonzero and in 2009 he started working with his long-time friend, fellow producer and co-owner of freebase records in frankfurt, meat (carsten schuchmann).

in 2012 frost and einzelkind joined forces to release the pressure. no tricks, no gimmicks. just raw beats and basslines from the depths of frankfurt and offenbach. no bandwagon blues, no sounds-alike songs. pressure traxx does exactly what it says on the tin. more pressure, more traxx.

3rd part of the be chosen 5 years compilation comes from the mighty markus fix (cocoon, cecille, oslo) and chris wood(souvenir, freebase records). great package again!

to do things, that are not quite usual, free from standards and away from drawer think is here the topic of the next sono vivo catalog number. there are every time again different >things<, that influence the emotions and the life of one person. and that is exactly what wigbert wants to express with his new single >things<. the focus of things is the acid similar moogbassline surrounded by percussive and drum-like elements, which produce a special groove. slowly and full of energy one increase after the other devolopes during the track, until it reaches its peak after the break. souvenir and freebase records artist chris wood took the original track and created a nice tech house remix quite to his style. with a mixture of techno and tech house, old school and new school the topic >things< is brought expertly to the point and you can find it to the peaktime on the dancefloor for sure!

souvenir is proud to present its 44th ep from a duo of frankfurts favourite sons, chris wood and carsten meat schuchmann. both chris and carsten have come up through frankfurts music scene, chris with his long time residency at the infamous monza club and carsten having started the citys premier record shop freebase, still going strong 18years later. trained as a studio engineer, chris cut his chops under the wise wings of pascal feos and joinedforces with meat, who held residencies at cocoon and robert johnson. last year they dropped the mighty triple s on souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as sao paolo to ibiza.

tiefschwarz beckon you to dominate my sensation with their latest single on the boys own souvenir. and with its booty-shaking, bass-bumpin funky house vibe, its ripe for the plucking on dancefloors across the world. the title track kicks things off with a dual attack of bass and hi-hat, urging us into its insistent groove. then it takes a firmer hold with its sultry vocals, shaking us around a bit in the process. with the carnivalesque atmosphere of seamy summers in rio, we welcome a funky percussive workout into the mix while a synthline squiggles around us. the breaks saucy vocal instructs us to allow entry into our very own adventure, percussion building to peak levels. lost in the moment, none can resist this kick, and bodies are lost in a dizzying swirl. b-sides include an energetic reimagining from the labels very own frankfurters, chris wood and meat, fresh from their recent smash triple s ep on souvenir and pascal feos & frank leicher manage to dial up the sleaze quotient, murking out the bassline and distorting the vocal.

supported by: nick curly, robert dietz, markus fix, chris tietjen, jacuzzi boys, felix neumann, sasch bbc, sebastian lutz, helmut dubnitzky, steffen baumann ...
riccardo rizza is an italian dj and producer who has already attracted a lot of attention with some of his productions. on the 5th mono recordings release he gives a good impression of his talent. the release is rounded up by two remixes of chris wood and felix neumann.

zeitlos, a german word meaning timeless is one way to describe chris wood & meats new ep, triple s. this is house of a different flavor, pulling influences from freestyle jazz and funk. we find ourselves late in the night. we enter triple s, a smoky cool atmosphere, relaxed and ready. light percussion leads us into the back, where a lone wandering bass line takes the stage. the simmer of hi hats and trample of toms usher in the kicks. chugging along, a single jazz flute, and sassy women punch through the fog. the strings rise and the bass sinks into the cellar. downplayed with style and elegance, triple s is the perfect track for half past midnight, opening the gates and pouring your body on to the dancefloor.

first on decks.de!! legendary berlin based duo dole & kom with their next ep for bondage-music. excellent techhouse mover +fantastic remix by chris wood

support: 2000 and one, luciano esse, brothers vibe, daniel sanchez, pawas, robert drewek, meat, chris wood, pfirter ...

big with: matthias tanzmann, loco dice, sascha dive, federico molinari, einzelkind,.. after the big success of chris wood & meats >back down ep< on murmur records (groove charts position 2 !!), they sticked together to bring out their next ep on below records. because of the experience as djs and their work at freebase records, they know exactly what kind of music brings the dancefloor on fire. the a - side is a strong floorfiller, with a long intro section and very nice housecords rising in the middle of the track b 1 is an house track with a typical chicago oldshool feeling b 2 brings back the breakbeats on the dancefloor..

just across the main, lies offenbach, a place where many of the kids of frankfurts inspirational house and techno scene call home. two promising producers - florian and marc - who hail from this hood, have within one year caught the attention of labels such as levelnonzero, off, below and cécille.

played by karotte & sven vÄth at timewarp 2010!!! chris wood & meat return from their splash on kindische for another electric package, this time on murmur with backdown ep complete with sascha dive remix. backdown is a truly head-turning release – setting up three takes on one track touching on high-end percussion, brass instrument led melodies and the voiced enquiry – do you want it? this package comes with a dub version and sascha dive remix, each accentuating their own unique take on the original. the original melts with a sumptuous hook within a low end bassline before dropping into a restless trumpet fanfare. sascha dive puts a warm and driving house spin on the track, preparing it for those early moments on the dancefloor whilst the dub is the quirky and more looming take on the original one to keep the bodies moving.

played by jamie jones, karotte, sebo k, shinedoe...

nice price deal !!! big with onur oezer, loco dice, raresh, tobi neumann, italoboyz, anthony rother

ultraphat groovy minimal tribal tech

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

nach den erfolgreichen veröffentlichungen >desire<, >seis o seis< und den remix von >trigger< präsentiert level non zero die erste eigene ep von labelmitarbeiter chris wood. durch seine langjährige dj-erfahrung u.a. in clubs wie robert johnson offenbach, monza frankfurt & ibiza, harry klein münchen usw, weiß er genau was die tänzer erwarten, und das hört man auch !!

cool 2 track ep with minimal techhouse tracks with acid & oldskool flavours
