what s two metres tall, plays music on four channels, lives behind the iron curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label and flies over a 100 times per year? ladies & gentlemen meet umek. the 1605 boss returns on wax with four trademark techno jams which have been lightening up festivals & dancefloors worldwide over the last six months & will continue from now until the closing parties in ibiza at the end of the summer.

popof’s illustrious label form music is set to release a special vinyl only compilation showcasing some of the imprint’s most exciting artists entitled, ‘reformers’.
since its formation in 2009, form music has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative and ambitious dance labels, working alongside both established and new artists including julian jeweil, sébastien léger, animal & me, mendo, philip bader, petar dundov, dj fronter and jay lumen as well as the label’s head honcho himself, popof.
kicking the four track package off is popof’s sublime rework of julian jeweil’s acclaimed dancefloor destroyer ‘chrome’, which is perfectly followed by the pounding drum-and-bass-tinged-techno workout ‘shadow tactics’, created by slovenia’s pioneering dj/producer umek.
julian jeweil’s ‘midi’ continues the release, seeing the talented frenchman utilising synths with real expertise and blending electronic nuances with melodic percussive elements to bring us nicely on to the compilation’s closing track, the deep and trippy tech house gem ‘slush fund’ by berlin-based simina grigoriu.

its really hard to say whether umek is going back in time with his alba patera alter ego or is he exercising his futuristic self. its also hard to say if the four tracks in his newest ep collinearity will make you scream, frown or maybe even climax (multiple times). in any case, handle with care to avoid injuries

weve got the two titans teaming up once again on eternity, and there is no letting up as the cyclic sensibilities and swirling pads engulf the unsuspecting listener, letting the crackling rhythm section lead the way to the intense breakdown, reminding us exactly of who we are listening to. subtle details add to the grandiosity of the whole affair, and yet another lesson in anthem-construction has been delivered by the two masters.

ranked in the pantheon of techno artist, we are proud to have umek onboard, delivering a fantastic 2 track ep. umek who seducing the masses with his own music blend from more than a decade infusing this ep with his high standard trademark.

not content to simply sit back and watch his 1605 baby grow from strength to strength, label head umek makes it a strong point to make regular contributions to our output and so he has obliged with the imaginatively titled >omgwtf< track. a superb new composition from mr 1605 himself, >omgwtf< is everything one can expect from umeks sonic arsenal. funky, pounding, innovative, fresh and a surefire dancefloor mover. if the title is anything to go by, we d say you have been warned!

hot on the heels of our frantic summer release schedule and by way of (prematurely) welcoming the fall/winter season, we have prepared a little collection of our own. featuring established culprits from the label roster as well as exciting new additions and alliances we proudly present another defining moment in our auditory evolution: >wake me up at 16:05< is a snapshot, a landmark and a sure sign of bigger, harder, faster (maybe not that much) things to come from us. enjoy!
