PREMIERE: Arthus - Cratozolo (Shyam Remix)[Simple Things Records]

@xdb is Kosta Athanassiadis – German by birth and in residence, with Greek parentage. His roots are in the central German town of Göttingen. It was here that he began DJing in the early nineties; where he worked in a record shop; where he ran a radio show for five years; and the base from which he established the Metrolux record label in 2006.
For many people, it was at this point that XDB appeared on their radar. His debut ‘Jackintosh EP’ and the following ‘Descap EP’ made a splash with heads, but whilst the shimmering dub techno moments were perhaps the most obvious hook, subsequent tracks defied easy categorisation – an early indication that the person behind the music took a broad view of electronic music, caring not for stylistic pigeonholes.
Further releases mapped out more of a defined aesthetic for the label, with XDB’s own work sitting alongside contributions from Atheus and Arne Weinberg. By 2007, Kosta’s music had caught the ear of other outlets; including Francois Kevorkian’s Deep Space Media (a sublabel of Wave Music) licensed ‘Descap’ and ‘Descap live’ for re-release. @brendonmoeller was the A&R at that time and a 4 track EP on Wave Music followed in 2009.
The same year, @p-scott put out the first XDB release on his own @sistrum-recordings, which saw Kosta tailoring his output to a cleaner, more Detroit-inflected sound. In tandem with his production work, XDB the DJ was coming into his own. An avid collector of vinyl since his childhood (Kosta’s collection presently numbers some 10,000 records); he had honed his craft in clubs and on the radio – mixing monthly on his own ‘Case Check’ show. 2008 brought an early highlight – spinning at Japan’s lauded Labyrinth festival alongside the cream of the international deep techno and house scene.
Kosta’s DJ sets draw upon his expansive record collection, playing right across the board of electronic music. He has no shortage of technical skill but it’s his selection that truly shines – putting the music itself at the forefront, letting songs breathe when need be, and delivering plenty of head-scratching ‘what the hell is this track?’ moments.
It’s on this that Kosta has built his reputation. Tastemakers such as the now-defunct mnml ssgs crew were quick to snap him up for a guest mix in 2009, and several of his online recordings have been picked up for @resident-advisor ‘Mix of the Day’ spot. In 2010, XDB played at the UK’s highly-regarded Freerotation festival – starting a love affair with the event that’s seen him come back every year since. The festival secured Kosta’s place within a fraternity of fellow musicians and DJs who also prefer to let their music do the talking – likeminds who recognise the purity in what they do, and are all the more respected because of it.
That same year, he remixed Detroit heroes Norm Talley - @ormalley and Aaron Carl - @aaroncarl and in 2011 produced releases for the Dolly, Harbour City Sorrow and Echocord imprints. 2012’s highlight was a split 12” with Kassem Mosse and in 2013 he was reunited with Sistrum Recordings for the ‘Frocks’ record. 2013 also saw the rebirth of Metrolux after a 3 year hiatus, with ‘Edition 2’, an excellent Various Artists release.
When it comes to producing, Kosta favours a slow and steady work rate, opting to focus on quality control rather than record shop ubiquity. His DJing keeps him in the public eye, but one gets the sense that XDB prefers to operate in the shadows. There’s a refreshing lack of gimmickry to his approach – keeping it low-key allows him to be judged solely on the basis of talent. Arguably, it’s an innate quality – the way he wants to play it; the way that brings him most satisfaction, but it’s helped establish his reputation as an artist of considerable merit, winning the approval his audience and peers, alike.

@rogergerressen was born in Arnhem (the Netherlands), raised on early 90’s hiphop in Nijmegen. As a kid, always drawn to making mixtapes and fiddling around with the old records in the attic, but never realizing he’d be ending up creating music and playing records. His passion for movies and hiphop kept him occupied. It took a giant (first) rave on his 18th birthday to see the real potential of house music and his objective was clear. In the years following he got the chance to warm up crowds on a regular basis at the legendary Planet Rose clubnights, which made his hometown Nijmegen an excellent place to develop his skills as a warm up DJ and to obtain a broad taste in music. The dutch town always had a strong history in electronic music, but remained small enough not to be influenced by trends or hypes: a perfect spot to create your own sound and identity, playing alongside the greats.
After his first solo releases on the local Wolfskuil Records he co-founded @eshu-records in 2011. Recognision came after a string of well received solo releases on @fear-of-flying-recordings (and sub-label SuddenDrop), his many collaborations with @ivanotetelepta and numerous other collabs (like @dilatedpupilsnl, ARC# and Novio Dub Tribe). A few years down the line it was time for a new direction which resulted in parting ways with ESHU to start his own label OGUN Records and a few monikers (like the recent Monoaware and less recently Gasometric Run) to provide him with the creative freedom he was looking for. Since he joined Paris based @yoyaku (label/store/distribution) he had the chance to release music on a few of the recordstore’s in-house labels like Joule Imprint, Aku and Tartouffe and on the renowned label @sushitech. With their support, he set up two more labels to meet his output; Irenic Records and Autodidact Records.

The Icelandic house output 66 degrees are at it again with a compilation of local house anthems.
It begins with Sequential Dub by Ozy. As the name suggests, it’s dubby , deep and groovy. It first saw release on Ben Sims’s label Native back in 2002, but now is finally again available on plastic. It is followed by Pipeline by Sanasol. It’s a dark and hard-hitting postmidnight anthem. Well designed to create a havoc on the dancefloor. On the flipside we have Atomox by OZ Artists, an atomic tech- house with atmospheric chords and vocal samples. It’s a perfect after-hours house anthem.Lastly, we have Cherry Bon Bon by the local misfit Terry Cummingz. It’s an ode to the 90s classic Chicago house anthems. It’s soulful and hypnotic a travel back to more simpler times.
This is the thirteenth release on 66 degrees, which has returned from a 20-year hiatus and is this the second release within a short period 
of time – hopefully an indicator that the label is back with a vengeance.

Federsen - Komodo Dubs promo

We are thrilled to break the silence and present to you our much-anticipated creation, "VA Romanian Art Vol. 4." This extraordinary compilation features not just one, but more than 18 exceptional artists from the ro-minimal music scene. After what seemed like an eternity, we reemerge from the depths of silence with a collection that aims to transport you beyond the ordinary into a realm of genuine emotions and creativity.
During our prolonged hiatus from music, we embarked on an introspective journey, a profound pause that allowed us to step back and contemplate the cacophony of the modern world. It seemed as if the planet spun faster, and in the frenzy of everyday life, we lost sight of the real essence, the soul of music. The taste was replaced with an abundance of sugar-coated sounds, lacking the depth and authenticity that once fueled our passion.

"VA Romanian Art" has become more than just a series of compilations; it has evolved into a tradition—our humble tribute to the thriving ro-minimal music scene. We are proud to say that each edition of "VA Romanian Art" is not only a showcase of talent but also an initiative to promote the growth and diversity of our vibrant community.
