incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

ribn is a special unit of manuel tur&langenberg, they already released from ovum,styrax leaves. title track of a side is a very deep smoky techno dub sound. it reminds minilogue,beat pharmacy or that kind of artist. b1 lum lum is taken from the mule electronic compilation my favorite things vol.2. both tracks of b side are dubby electric slow deep house.

having quickly established himself as a bright new talent, with releases on respected platforms like drumpoet community, resopal and sthlmaudio, langenberg is the latest promising producer to grace the dessous label catalogue. a long flowing, proud and distinctly current sounding moment in house, >alternate rhythm< stakes its foundations in filtered, warping vocal loops, deeply rooted percussion and dubbed out effects. an urgently rousing synthline lifts the tension higher as langenberg breaks it down in classic style, resulting in a fulfilling and tempting treat for the dancefloor. berlin residing sensation sven weisemann first introduced his talents to the world through his work on the styrax leaves and mojuba imprints. now the young nu-wave-deep-house producer adds his own special touch with his ?allop rhythm remix? stripping down the original? sound palette into a delicious trip into precision dub deepness. taking inspiration from the legacy of both the us and german deep house fraternities, weisemann makes his intentions clear with this beautifully crafted, collectors?cut remix. tracklisting: a alternate rhythm b alternate rhythm (weisemann? gallop remix)

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<
