Need U Back

Together, Andre Crom and his OFF imprint have been responsible for some of the most seismic records of the past few years. The German producer has always harbored a propensity for tracks of a dancefloor persuasion, and one look at OFF's back catalogue reads like a who's who of contemporary electronic music talent, with everyone from Robosonic to Chris Carrier to Round Table Knights to Darius Syrossian turning up on the label over the years. Indeed, both label and owner are showing no signs of slowing down recently either, with Crom only recently pairing up with fledgling producer Teenage Mutants for ''You Don't Know'', the follow-up to their massive ''Hangin' On''.

So with Andre Crom and his label riding high both in expectations as well as charts we thought it was time to welcome him into the fold here at DT to deliver this weeks exclusive podcast. With a focus on making dance floors move the sound selection showcase his oxymoronically eclectic signature as he moves fluidly from deep underground pop tunes over big primetime records, from jacking house to reduced groovetools - for Andre Crom diversity and fresh trends are certainly the name of the game as he keep things interesting.

Label head Andre Crom brings us "New Day", a house organ jacker with a driving vibe and great vocal arrangements.

Mother Recordings' own Nhan Solo gets funky and soulful with "Perfect Plan", clap grooves, smart sampling and a disco vibe...All that we need really!

"Shooting Star" comes next on the hands of Sydney-based Murat Kilic, phat beats and some more of that disco flavor we love here at OFF while Pavel Petrov & Marten's "Party Up" closes the package with a catchy rap-ghetto groover, all housed-up by tight drums and a heavy bassline. Truly one not to miss!

JD Samson & MEN - All The Way Thru - Andre Crom & Chi Thanh Rmx

Artist:			Sofi de la Torre
Title:	 		Vermillion (Andre Crom & Chi Thanh Remix)
Label:			OFF Recordings
Release number: 	OFF090
Format:  		Digital / Vinyl

Tracks:

1.	Sofi de la Torre – Vermillion (Andre Crom & Chi Thanh Remix)



Sofi De La Torre has a special charm, the sound of her voice inspires millions of thoughts and melodies and that was no exception for our star team composed by Andre Crom and Chi Thanh, a now steady force conquering the scene both with their original work and always hunting for fresh talent such as hers for their exciting dancefloor remakes. The beautiful and incredibly talented Spanish singer now living in berlin was kind enough to let our crew express their own interpretation of "Vermillion" (her new Single coming out in June) and as always, they turned it into another dancefloor essential full of warmth and deep feelings.

The song builds up with vibe synth stabs and horns that create a perfect atmosphere for the sweet vocals while a groovy bassline and housy drums add the perfect dance factor to the whole thing, all constructed with finesse and great taste. A true masterpiece that will sure ring in everyone's ears for a long time.

Andre Crom and Chi Thanh have already produced new big tunes with Sofi, which will be released also very soon!

... the first part of my recent set at Watergate, opening the night from 0.00 - 3.00.

Part 1, from 0.00 - 01.00 am, shows my love for deep and electronica-ish music, tracks which i could not play in a "normal" peaktime set...

Hope you enjoy listening as much as i did playing :)

Andre Crom - The Only One - OFF050 cut

Known as globally touring DJ and the man behind OFF Recordings for many years, the recent past saw massive changes for Andre Crom.

His label OFF Recordings is nowadays one of the most loved and played techno labels. The global techno elite like Amelie Lens, Charlotte De Witte, Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Richie Hawtin, and many, many more play OFF Recordings' and Andre's productions on heavy rotation.

Crom personally has stepped up as a producer strongly in the past years, with releases on OFF, Sleaze, 100% Pure, Tronic, and other leading imprints.

But for all the love of producing and running a label, Andre Crom's enduring passion for underground dance music becomes most visible during his dj-sets, where he seamlessly combinies melodic and monotone shades of techno, function and emotion, to create an effortless flow and deep connection with the dancefloor.
