After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

I started music at the age of 16 years old , but my first time with Techno music was in 1998 , i was only a kid back then .I remember my godmother , Samira , playing strange electronic sounds and all the croud screaming on this dark and intense music .Since that very moment i became passionnat and i never stoped buying records . I am influence by many artiste like robert hood or basic channel and all the Tresor records. I could write more ...but less is more! isn't ?

THE MECHANICS

Francois x returns to the Deeply Rooted House label for his third record and we are very pleased to hear how he developed his style! Code Red has a great classic Techno vibe , while Haunted is an acid intriguing deep and dark track. Proper techno! Bonus comes on the flip side with the Marcel Dettmann remix of Code Red. His version is stripped down dark and pumping in his unique and raw and intense Berghain style !

Some Dirtier Analog Bizz...

WOMAN - SHINE ON (GERD ANOLOG RE-WORK) FRAGIL 004 OUT NOW!

After something of a hiatus, Manchester's Claro Intelecto is back to release his third full-length album, Reform Club, on Delsin Records in April 2012.

Throughout his career, the man known as Mark Stewart has always created lush deep house and techno soundscapes awash with dubby undercurrents. They have previously come on Boomkat's boutique label Modern Love, whilst his recent Second Blood EP marked a Delsin debut. It was his first real outing in some time, bar the odd remix for the likes of Depeche Mode, The Black Dog and Delphic, and was well received by fans of Stewart's past work, including the likes of his stripped back Warehouse Sessions 12" series.

This new album deals in all the usual moods and textures you'd expect from Claro Intelecto… it's warm and cuddly, comforting and inviting right from the first track, despite the rough edges and well defined analogue details which pervade throughout.

Building slowly but surely, it progresses through kick driven deep house, bounces along on top of stretched out synth lines and forever keeps the mind occupied, shape shifting before your very ears like something with a life all its own. There are blissed out and sun kissed moments that look to the future right at the heart of the album, but the thing slowly rebuilds to more kinetic but just as soft-edged techno peaks flashed with acid, icy hi-hats and ambient static in the ensuing tracks.

Though the whole album is dreamy and sounds deeply submersed in some foggy subterranean world, it stays dynamic and lucid with plenty of serene melodies and celestial emotions offsetting the gently churning beat tumbles below. Like all the full length works of Stewart, Reform Club makes most sense when listened to from start to finish: getting lost in its midst is surely to be one of 2012’s greatest listening pleasures.

VINYL ONLY !
Since october and their 1st Ep Leif/Mariam by Konstantin Sibold played a lot particulary by Move D in several podcast. Caramelo is back this spring with a special new one !
Caramelo met a secret new comer from Vienna in House Scene : Wasnme.
Wasnme gave here 3 exclusively tracks ! On A side you find "Standing Hi" a sweet balearic's melody following by a groovy bassline and deepy synths. The 2nd on this side is "Aleks" (short mix) produced by our friend from Rocker 33 in Stuttgart : Konstantin Sibold ! With an old school Chicago style and such a groove who gave a touch of class !
On the flip, "Whatever" bring a good moody atmosphear, a kind of Detroit here ! "We're puttin it mathematically" is the good conbination of some synths seems to be from Detroit and an intensive bass who never end.
Spring time you said ? Summer time indeed !
