the next bedrock release is the result of a collaborative project of the highest order from three of the scene s most respected creative mavericks - gabriel ananda, john digweed and nick muir. their collective concept of electronic music ventures into a vast, unexplored field of endless possibilities and is the futuristic two-part tachyon dream. a year in the making, the project started with john (who is a massive fan) reaching out to gabriel to see if he would be interested in working on a project together with nick. gabriel already had a demo in mind that he had started and the project was soon up and running.

for 100% pure gabriel anada has produced a vibrant ep, that shows his dedication to rich, full-bodied dance music.

distorted beauty is the collaborative guise of los angeles based andy slate and berlin based alexander koning, a duo who individually between them have released material via the likes of cr2, global underground and pacha. here we see the pair release a single under their joint alias via koning s own percep-tion records

following the success of dominik eulberg and gabriel anandas the space between us, in november 2013 on traum the duo has been in the studio to chuck out another piece of music which has again so little in common with post minimal dance music of now.

2021 repress! berlin based midas 104 & joshua jesse (katermukke, parquet) are debuting for dantze with soulfulo tech-house topped with a remix from gabriel ananda (basmati, traum, suara).

we were surprised when dominik knocked on our door with two tracks from gabriel ananda and himself. we had released *harzer roller*, *kirschplunder & jasmin tee bei gabriel* and *eucalypse now!* ages ago and these releases for us always had a special quality, a kind of energy exchange which took place between them, so we were excited to hear their newest recordings. once heard we instantly knew: these tracks are crowd-pleasers in a big way and come now for the first time on vinyl!

next gabriel ananda double header !!

originally released in 1996 on harthouse with a villalobos remix >trommelmaschine reconstructed< 2012 hits daylight and turns its attention to the importance of electronic music classics.

more than a year after its release, we have the privilege to experience again a masterpiece reworked by two members of treibstoff, marcel janovsky, and till krueger. janovsky, sticking to his roots, delivers a minimal techno version with just enough of the original that creates a suspenseful groove that will leave the floor in a frenzy.

the winner of a range rover contest marks the start of the new treibstoff limited imprint. inkl. g.ananda mix

gabriel ananda delivered his first original ep for a label other than his own in over a year! warm cologne which features two originals from gabriel, is available now on monique musique.

short stories is the fruition of musical ideas brought forth by label owner / chief producer gabriel ananda and multitalented instrumentalist and vocalist alice rose. the two of them have come together to resurrect a project from 2001 and have put together a colorful mix of strings, vocals, and melodies. there is something familiar and comforting in the sound of this ep. it could be roses strings, which were introduced with her debut for basmati food for dreams (basmati 06), or elements of anandas live series, there is an aspect to the sound that just fits. ananda and rose have delivered the complete package. the a-side opens with the not-so-short short stories, a fourteen minute evolving trip covering the scope of both producers’ talents. the b-side contains two versions of “struck by light. the techno version comes with power and emotion, crafted for the dance floor, which is followed by the deeper, original version recorded for the first time in 2001.

gabriel ananda was captivated by the sound of classical music by the early age of 8. he was encouraged by his family to practice the cello, but it was through playing the guitar that fueled his motivation to continue to learn about music. the guitar became a useful tool to express his creativity, but gabriel was not finished searching for his musical direction. in 1995 that changed. a dj set by sven väth was the pivotal moment that ended gabriels search to find his passion and two years later, the new producer celebrated his first release for the german label hörspielmusik. he went on to release singles on treibstoff, trapez, platzhirsch, and karmarouge before producing what was for him, a life changing track

green coloured one-sided vinyl limited to 333 copys flipside has etched basmati artwork

two huge remixes by gabriel ananda and dan drastic on this smoking hot society 3.0 release.

last summer hey blop (live series vol ii) was the hymn that burned down dancefloors all over the world. gabriel ananda continues his live series (here vol. iii) and delivers 2 more sophisticated techno-tracks with diabolic methods.

no time to rest, here is anandas next on basmati. like his smash single >doppelwhipper< the present tracks for his >live series< were performed live on stage. >hey blop< is a perfect and very playable summertrack while >give me five< shows how percussions should be looped into great techno.

do you remember the ananda vs. mehlhart track released on gabriels label basmati last year ? this is the second half time so to say. teams on the pitch: frankfurt and cologne kick off

parallel to the release of his album >selected works techno< ananda starts on basmati his live series. published here are the tracks which have been established on the floors during his recent live sets. the tracks hold almost forgotten practice to deceive an audience: occasional imprecision is a stylistic device, the post production was skipped, unpolished rough edges remain. live series vol.1 is coming with the tracks >alpha< and >smash<. this year at least 3 more releases of this series will appear on basmati.

wir freuen uns das neue jahr mit ihm beginnen zu können. nach seiner sagenhaften single coconut blues istgabriel ananda zurück auf treibstoff! der titeltrack love attack hat die für ananda typisch erdigen grooves. streicher bereiten den weg zu einer organisch anmutenden bassline und nehmen uns mit auf einen emotionalen glückstrip. open up ist ein sehr trickreiches stück techno und entwickelt einen unfassbaren sog, der den raum zu einem vakuum werden lässt. für den remix von open up hat sich treibstoff den stuttgarter till krüger beim befreundeten label 200 records ausgeliehen. mit seiner version wählte er diesmal nicht seinen schnellen detroit-sound, sondern lässt die original-sounds in einem gewand erscheinen, daß mit seinen dubs an die legendären gas platten von wolfgang voigt erinnert.

in fact, its not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. but sometimes, you-re even too modest to stay away. so, whats it all about? well, the music, of course. and only the music. organic stuff, so to speak. tracks made by pure immersion. no plans, no blueprints. just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno. here is gabriels new 4-tracker. inhale.

now techno has its own fair trade. basmati, the new label by gabriel ananda (artist direction) and marcel janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging. epic tracks are rarely seen in such a light-footed mood: gabriel ananda shakes his hairdo again, this time in cooperation with floor hope daniel mehlhart and the pioneers from superstitions quazar. the results are two genre-bending tracks, whose friendliness makes them look like 10 minute long wolves in sheeps clothing. pinpoint funk with panoramic view, coming from true masters of all classes.

the next great release on herzblut comes again from nicolas masseyeff. this time he teams up with jr c, who delivers dark vocals to this tech-house journey. and the package gets even better. the a-side is reserved for the original version of the dance floor treasure, while on the flip side, you can find oxias housy interpretation of the track and anandas groovy touch.stephan bodzin, oxia, gabriel ananda, karotte, darko esser and many more.

long awaited second part of collaboration between dominik eulberg & gabriel ananda !!

daniel mehlhart is an aficionado. that would explain the cosy buzz emblazoning his >coming close<. the deep bass adept prepares some tasty meal here, just like an accomplished cook, pecking only the best ingredients for his versatile tracks. two soulflul clappers are the radiant result, featuring tenderly restored sequences and carefully tailored samplework. gabriel ananda shows off impeccable taste by firing up the robot beatbox for his remix, tuckpointing the sounds so well, that one might want to rub his ears due to so much rapture. three masterbuilders ftw

ganz starkes ding, liebe leute ! wer die nicht hat ist out. Ätsch !

long awaited second part of collaboration between dominik eulberg & gabriel ananda !!

fetter gabriel ananda & dominik eulberg remix!! techno vom feinstem!! ... supported by carl cox, gregor tresher, nick warren, ida engberg, laurent garnier and many more..

vor dem sommer noch limitiert, nun endlich als offizielles release. >coconut blues< ist der soundtrack zum aufschwung der herzen in sphären, in denen ständig alles flirrt und vibriert: hüften, beine, handtaschen, trommelfelle, der geist und die fröhlichkeit in ewigkeit. amen!! einfach nur herrlich!

hier kommen die beiden stücke die nicht auf dem vinyl der traum 100 waren, sondern nur auf der cd. zum einen handelt es sich um gabriel anandas stück lila pause und zum anderen um fairmonts down the rabbit hole. tolle hits mit support von allen wichtigen djs!

hier baut detroit bunte, knuffige propellerautos, die in formation fliegen und umweltschonend mit bassdruckenergie betrieben werden... streng limitierte scheibe im roten vinyl! aber keine angst, nach dem sommer kommt dieser hit nochmal - allerdings im schwarzen vinyl!

played by villalobos, väth, magda, hawtin... zwei jahre nach dem hit >doppelwhipper< (track des jahres 2006, grooveleserpoll) beehrt gabriel ananda endlich mal wieder das platzhirschlabel. und wie wir es von ihm gewohnt sind, liefert er wieder zwei kracher, die bestimmt für ein >wenig< stimmung auf der tanzfläche sorgen dürften.

claude vonstroke returns with his first original record in over a year. this time he partners with long time friend and upcoming producer, christian martin. this is a melodic hybrid of techno and house with influences as far away as drum n bass. the flip side features a remix by super hot producer gabriel ananda and newcomer alice rose. they playfully twist the main theme throughout, sprinkling in stabs to the constantly building groove. many people have said the original record sounds like a follow-up to >whos afraid of detroit?< but we will let you decide what to think for yourself.

hier wird beim jasmintee lecker kirschplunder gegessen. gabriel und dominik finden die perfekte harmonie des geschmackes. das nenne ich eine super platte ohne kompromisse. wenn hier nichts geht, dann wissen wir auch nicht mehr weiter. also hoch die tassen!

incl a huge gabriel ananda remix (platzhirsch)

gabriel ananda presents us with >stream of consciousness< and >shake ready< two euphoric grooving tracks that are characterized by compact and at the same moment delicious balanced rhythms wich spread themselves onto your body straightforwardly and wich work on the dancefloor with an astounding ease. two tracks that keep you away from holding your feet still, a record that simply makes fun!

grandiose remixe zum hit von rocco branco (aka dominik eulberg) & tobias becker, jason emsley, superpitcher & michael mayer (as supermayer)

gabriel ananda schaltet auf snipermodus, seziert haarfein & moduliert bis die beats eine physikalische größe erreichen. >das habe ich doch nicht gewollt !< war das letzte was man ihn sagen hörte..

da ist es endlich das gabriel ananda album von dem schon alle reden. dementsprechend sind die erwartungen sehr hoch geschraubt, das gute ist, herr ananda erfüllt diese auch ganz lässig !!

gabriel ist keiner der in schönheit stirbt. er liefert uns super frische tracks die richtig in die beine gehen... techno zum tanzen wird hier groß geschrieben !!

künstlergedichte: >während flugkörper im goldenen farbspiel zerstauben und knallfrösche explodierend den asphalt erhellen, rieselt ein schneestern an deinem auge vorbei und flüstert: schön, dass es dich gibt!< in aller kürze: einseitig, hit! sommer!

was soll man dazu noch sagen ? das techno dreamteam mit dem schlagkräftigen beweis, daß zu viele köche den brei nicht verderben

a1 küppers - city (wonder which city is meant) is a merciless stomper towards the dancefloor - raver an minimalistis well be happy likewise…-…up on nearly 5 rhytmical levels ananda works up everybody…b 1 kopfsalat …is modern, dubbing mini techno at is best. no one is fit to hold a candle to ananda in this segment. 8 minutes go four tension and relaxation and makes fly! megabasses -melodies -wat ever you want! b 2 ur nüchtern ist auch nicht immer gut technoid? appel to celebrating with intelligence grouving > wie sau?!< like the devil entertaining and inspiring
