Zinc - Show Me (Zinc Dark Mix)

!Organism
ORGA054
Release Date: 08-12-2014

Serving up their next techno morsel on both vinyl and digitally, !Organism turn to Bodyscrub for a hot new single that comes complete with remixes from Rocco Caine, Manic Brothers and Leghau.

Bodyscrub is an Italian who has been into electronic music since the nineties, releasing on Phobiq, Driving Forces Recordings, MB Elektronics, 1605 and many others, as well as being a regular on !Organism.

In original form, ‘Insane and Trapped’ is a no messing techno stomper with hard-hitting kicks, big rattling chords and lots of tumultuous synth action that adds texture and tension to the track. It’s a peak time, floor-slaying monster that will blow heads clean off and comes with three great remixes.

German electro and techno talent Rocco Caine goes first. The four-deck wizard chops the track up into something much more broken beat and lumpy. It rocks back and forth with spooky ambiance far off in the distance. Eventually some heavyweight dub techno chords join the party and add yet more depth and scale to the already arresting track.

Next up, Mats and Niclas Ljusberg—together known as Sweden’s Manic Brothers—have seen their driving, house-tinged techno productions on Drumcode, Soma and Sleaze wind up on the hard drives of DJs like Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Sven Väth and Nicole Moudaber. They only arrived in 2012 but on the evidence of this spritely, future sounding remix have lots to offer. It’s an engaging affair with a moody atmosphere pervading a stripped back and serious groove.

Finally, Frenchman Leghau of respected labels like Trapez, Analytictrail and Len Faki’s imprint, Figure, then offers his version. It’s a deep, rolling and hypnotic affair that gets into your brain and stays there for the duration.

Once again here !Organism are leading the techno world from the very front.

Ben Klock - Subzero (Original Mix)

Sven Väth - L'Esperanza (Hardspace Mix) - COR12176

L'Esperanza (Hope) is undoubtedly one of Sven Väth's greatest hits. After more than 30 years, we are very proud to revive this timeless masterpiece for you on Cocoon Recordings. The artwork of the A-side is from the original 12" cover, which was released on Eye Q Records back then. Anyone who knows Sven recognizes that he has always felt free and evolved in terms of appearance and style. That's why we instantly loved the idea of Sven re-staging himself in the same pose but in a new guise. This picture disc documents a 30-year-long transformation, both sonically and visually. It is a beautiful journey through time and a true collector’s item.

A1: L'Esperanza (Original Album Version) 1993
Produced in 1993, this track has certainly not lost any of its charm over the years. Lovely string sounds envelop you in a cloud of comfort, while the filtered downbeat emphasizes this feeling of lightness. The catchy tune of the playful synthesizer melody invites you to close your eyes and start dreaming. Let yourself fall into a deep state of meditation and trance. The airy electric bassline comes with a charismatic power and opens a door to the subconscious, calling on you to dive deep. The atmosphere of this composition sits somewhere between drifting through the sea and hovering through space.

B1: L'Esperanza (Hardspace Mix) 2023
A revised version of the "Hope Will Move Mountains Mix" by "Visions Of Shiva" occurs on the B-Side in the form of Len Faki’s hardspace mix. Len is renowned for his elegant edits and refined modifications as part of his side project, this time delivering a stripped-down 135 BPM version that fits perfectly into the current zeitgeist. A club version of "L'Esperanza" that radiates a high level of euphoric energy, constantly pushing the rhythm patterns forward. All hands go up in the air at the latest when the piano part starts in the middle section. Let’s go back to the good old days of the original 90s trance sound since the cheerful arpeggio synth melody takes us along.

What is certain, you can't tell that either version has been around for 30 years.

Cooked up with a more melodic vibe and fusing elements of house and techno, Dense & Pika’s latest outing on Drumcode offers something different compared to their previous work. There is still that vintage feel to each of the tracks with analogue sounds and arrangements born and developed from experimental studio jams. Indeed, ‘Suki’ heavily utilizes the distinct harmonic tones of the Dave Smith Prophet 8 keyboard. While ‘Little Sun’ - A staple of D&P performances over the last three months - delivers a more classic Drumcode sound. ‘Lanky’ closes out the release with an infectious slab of wonderfully wonked-out raw funk.

Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.
