Smoooooth!

Artist: Nils Penner
Title:  I Can Be EP
Release Date: 19th January (Vinyl) 26th January (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR198/FRD198

It’s been a long time coming but finally we’re very pleased to welcome
back Nils Penner to the family fold.  His Munich/Berlin EP from 2 years
ago still sounds the business when dropped today and he’s clearly a
talented producer who puts quality before quantity when it comes to
releases.  As one half of Penner and Muder Nils has been responsible for
giving us such classics as Presence Of Another Man and their sublime remix
of Around Your Neck by Fiakun Team.  But he’s definitely a force to be
reckoned with when going solo too as his recent EP on Compost will attest
to.

Here on I Can Be, Nils continues where he left off creating a brilliant
electronic house track with his own unique style shining bright.  Loose,
jazzy drums keep things from getting too heavy whilst the vocal makes sure
this one keeps the classic vibes intact.

Flipping over we have Pittsburgh Track Authority delivering their remix of
I Can Be, where things get toughened up, stripped to the core and force-
fed more steroids than is strictly healthy.  Jacked up funky techno is the
end result, but this is deep and rolling techno with a bounce in it’s step
and a cheeky glint in it’s eye. Simply adorable if you ask us.

Finally, things close out with State Of Mind, a modern day torch-song for
the lonely, a hymn for the lost generation, or simply a deep and moody
tale of lost nights on the dancefloor and lost marbles the next morning.

The next installment on Soulfooled sees David Durango deliver a masterfully crafted five track EP entitled Calimbo. With a passion and dedication to electronic music that began in the early nine- ties, David Durango’s career has grown and flourished year by year, with a catalogue of releases on the likes of Poker Flat, VIVa music and of course his ‘Supermarket’ EP on Soulfooled.

The opening track ‘Calimbo’ truly captures Durango’s versatility as a producer. Melodic chimes accompany an intricately constructed drum rhythm that progressively drives this production forward before gradually echoing out. ‘Christi & Santi’ offers a darker, more atmospheric track to the EP with distinctive synth keys ringing elegantly throughout the ears of the listener.

Track after track David Durango’s extensive musical knowledge shines through his productions by captivating listeners with a variety of sounds. ‘Shame Wall’ and ‘Nazaria’ present crisp hi-hats and uplifting percussive rhythms that highlight Durango’s skill to capture a wide variety of sounds yet still staying true to the minimal tech-house sound that he has grown so accustomed to.

Laurent Garnier might have been doing his thing for about 30 years - a very good thing at that - but he's showing no signs of stepping back anytime soon. 

The French techno maestro spent last year touring Europe and North America, whether that be playing Coachella festival in California or the now-closed Trouw in Amsterdam, as well as finding time to release on Hypercolour, MCDE and Berlin-based 50 Weapons. 

His release on Hypercolour included Enchanté, a beaming, click-clacking techno cut that's about to be released again as part of his forthcoming album, 'Home', on F Communications.

Premiere: Laurent Garnier - Enchanté (Uner Club Gleam Remix)

DJ Legende, Produzenten-Ikone, Avantgardist, Pionier. Nur wenige Menschen haben die Musikszene der letzten 28 Jahre durch ihr Schaffen so nachhaltig geprägt wie Pascal FEOS. 4 Solo Alben, über 200 Releases und zig hundert Remixe gehen auf sein Konto.
Der Hunger auf neue Soundexperimente ist deshalb aber noch längst nicht gestillt. Dabei sah es in den letzten Monaten verhältnismäßig ruhig um ihn aus, doch war das nur die berühmte Ruhe vor dem Sturm. Denn ein FEOS wäre schließlich kein FEOS, wenn seine Finger nicht täglich an irgendeinem Controller neue Sounds schrauben würde.
Jetzt ist es endlich soweit. Pascal ist back und haut euch, Gentlemanlike wie er nun mal ist, ein extra fettes Begrüßungsgeschenk mit der Aufschrift DEPARTED 2 RETURN auf den Tisch. Dahinter verbirgt sich nicht nur das fünfte FEOS Album, sondern auch die in Musik verpackte Antwort auf die Frage, was er während seiner drei-jährigen kreativen und von Selbstreflexion geprägten Schaffenspause alles erlebt hat oder auch durchleben musste. Jede Höhe, jede Tiefe, jede neue Lebenserkenntnis wurde von Pascal mit Musik verarbeitet. Sein Output war dabei so groß, dass er mit DEPARTED 2 RETURN erstmals ein Doppelalbum präsentiert.
Auf wahlweise 2x2 Vinyl, 2 CDs oder 30 Beatportlinks finden sich viele FEOS Solo Tracks, aber auch viele Kooperationsproduktionen mit seinen engsten Weggefährten FRANK LEICHER, HEIKO MSO, DOMENIC D'AGNELLI, MARC MIROIR, MANUEL RODRIGUEZ und RED ROBIN. Facettenreich wie eh und je reicht die FEOS ́sche Bandbreite vom House über groovenden Techhouse bis hin zum Bassgewaltigen Techno.
Insofern bleibt nicht mehr, als viel Spaß zu wünschen mit DEPARTED 2 RETURN. Dem vielleicht spannendsten und ehrlichsten Doppelalbum, dass PASCAL FEOS bislang gemacht hat.
