CAT #: cfa049
RELEASE DATE: 2016-07-04

It's god damn summer time, and everything is going off... the parties are in full swing, the weather is heating up, people are feeling good and festival season is among us. So never mind that release you've been milling over, we've got a stormer for you – with DJ's dropping new and blue tracks to make you melt, here's a release that gets things going AND finishes things off!

Crossfrontier Audio are proud to announce the label debut of the delectable and trouble-causing duo of Hacker & Miethig, with the Sambal EP.  Finding a lease of life through their music, their journey so far has seen exquisite releases on the eye-catching Poesie Musik and the hallmark Save Us Records – so we jumped at the chance to welcome them to the CFA family.

Tightly woven from head to toe, Hacker & Miethig craft dark room music to lose yourself to, and the EP definitely doesn't shy away from the deep and lustrous sounds they've been tunnelling away in the studio creating just for you - giving us two original works: Sambal and Djahe. We've also got a special guest remixing the title track...

Take your pick from the trembling synths and hypnotic rhythm that Sambal roars in, or set the pace with the trippy vibes of Djahe - both of these have been making a lot of noise, absolutely killing it when brought into the mix. When you've listened to both, you'll understand why Hacker & Miethig are gaining a mischievous reputation across the dance-floors of the world, all the while having a good time with it. 
By now, if you haven't heard of Jonas Saalbach, what the hell have you been doing? His remix of Sambal is the catalyst to a raucous moment and you know it... from the second the punches come in, the crisp production on this is magic. Bring on the summer.   

The debut of Hacker & Miethig on Crossfrontier Audio hits stores 4th July, don't miss this one, for more information hit us up at contact@crossfrontier-audio.com

Fernando Campo - Razor Sharp (Original Mix)

Victor Ruiz has been riding high on the crest of a wave with remixing Luzon - Baguio Track to great acclaim, to appearing on Herblut, Electric Ballroom and Sprout.

D-Nox again is causing a major fuss with his productions (both solo and working with studio partner Beckers) on Suara, Tronic and his own Sprout imprint to name just a few, and the D-Nox & Beckers remix of Quivver riding high in the Beatport techno charts as we speak.

Lets start with ‘Arise'. The beautiful blend of tinkling light arps and big phat bass sounds combine beautifully. Some tracks just come along and cause major devastation, and this is one of those!Press play, listen, and smile!

'Music' (feat. Beckers & Alex Stein) is a solid gem, where the emotive vibes flow lusciously, while the bass wraps you up like a comforting blanket of sound. This is a melodic gem and a half!

Rounding things off nicely, we find 'In Between'. This skippy beat laden moodier affair still oozes melodies and fuses the darker side with the light. Hot stuff!

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

1. Pan-Pot - Riot (Carl Cox Remix)
2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)
5. Pan-Pot - Riot (Paul Ritch Remix)
6. Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)
7. Pan-Pot - 808 Nirvana (Ray Kajioka Remix)
8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

Ivan Iacobucci influences have origins in the hot notes of funk & Jazz, in the roots of afro-cuban music, in the Detroit techno, deephouse and in the new European waves of sound like the ones coming from Romania.

Since 2009, the Italian rudeboy has managed his label Smoke Joke Records and been one of the most appreciated DJs in Italy and abroad, as well as being an acclaimed producer who is very much appreciated for his immersive sets. Over two decades of hard work and dedication to his craft Ivan has gained untainted reputation and widespread respect within the underground from true heads like Zip, and of course, the Apollonia boys.

Today, we exclusively premiere ‘Scris Frumos’ from Iacobucci's forthcoming Apollonia EP "On". The track encapsulates an ominous, tribal feeling with intricate effects trickling through every pore of its deep, dark exterior. Its atmospherics keep you intrigued, voices echo in the background and a few moments of softened chimes really intensify the already mysterious vibe.

"On" is available 1 March on Apollonia Music

'Get Real' is the new project from legendary producers, Green Velvet & Claude VonStroke.
The pair, hailing from Chicago and Detroit, headed out on the road together for a string of shows at the tail end of 2015. Get Real was born and VonStroke was soon heading to Green Velvet’s Chicago studio to work on new music.  The result of that trip is the debut Get Real EP featuring two slices of amazing future funk from two creative giants.

Motek Music came to being as a club night, frequenting the underground clubs and warehouses across London, pushing forward the local lesser seen talent around them alongside some of the heavy weights of the industry. 

The natural development from this was towards the Motek Music Label, opening up in June 2014 and nearly two years down the line is now a rising electronic music label within the Deep House and Techno scene. 

Celebrating the journey Motek has taken over the past years, the collective of DJs and producers behind Motek Music present a free bootleg remix of one of our favourite artists Massive Attack. We hope you enjoy this remix as much as we did making it!

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

Tracklist
1. Tale Of Us - Lies
2. Monoloc - Phoenix
3. Recondite - Murphy’s Law
4. Woo York - Poseidon
5. Somne - Triangle

Since its launch in 2010, Soulfooled has been lovingly curated by Alex Niggemann and has steadily established itself as a crucial platform for exciting, fresh talent. The label’s focus is always on sonic innovation and searching out unfailingly original musical gems, and, in the process, developing its own distinctive brand of music.

With a deep love for classic analogue sounds, merged with the limitless palette of possibilities afforded by modern music-making technology, DJ/producer Kris Davies utilises his meticulous production skills and a flair for crafting distinctive, intricate soundscapes, to stamp an emotional ambient mark on all his tracks and mixes. Now, he is set for his debut single release with the ever-evolving Soulfooled family, with two exceptionally creative tracks. 

An instantly infectious, hip-swinging rhythmic backbone means “Aura” wastes no time before launching into a breath-taking display of creative genius, as it builds layers of melodic motifs, juxtaposed synth lines and flourishes to make it an irresistible musical delight – visualise a dynamic 121bpm ball of energy, pirouetting majestically around the dancefloor.

The subtle, percussive ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ with its wonderful hint of melancholic reflection, serves to create a distinctly different, but no less enthralling atmosphere, showing another side of Kris Davis’ standout inventiveness. Layered with a wondrous, seductive ebb and flow of melodic waves, ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ is a supremely emotive piece to round off this musical master class in style.

Since the release of his first ‘Closer’ EP on Subjekt Recordings in 2014, Kris has been steadily gaining respect on the underground circuit with his unique emotive style. His subsequent remix of Affect! ‘Akaria’ (Save Us), ‘Relentless’ (with Yost and released on Just Her’s Constant Circles label), an EP on Christian Loffler’s well-respected Young Alaska imprint, and recent outings on Crossfrontier Audio, Suara and Parquet Recording (amongst others), have continued to raise the creative bar and mark Kris Davis as an artist to keep an eye on. With summer residencies coming up for Avant Garde & We Concur in London and Paris, now is the time to check him out.

'Percheé' is the stand out track on the Apollonia's 25th release bumps along with a wriggling groove and shifts in and out of focus with tantalising builds and drops that melt when they arrive.

If anyone knows how to make a track that's going to get a crowd rolling those shoulders then it's Don Shonky. Big.

Terminus (Snippet)

“Cosmopolis is probably one of my favourite tracks on the EP. I made it in one day and this is what I’m like when things are going real fast. It was the day after I received my Matrix 1000 from Oberheim and I was so excited about the synth that I went in the studio really early in the day."

Ricocheting through the ample, time is the most precious commodity of all... choosing where it's spent can fluctuate it's properties – minutes can seem like days, or hours can evaporate into thin air as you lose your grasp in the here and now, and why wouldn't you want to?

Burrowing into this concept, Crossfrontier Audio are proud to announce the brand new project from the dynamic duo Danito & Athina, the Losing Time EP.

Following on from their heavily rotated debut - the Fire EP, it was inevitable that Danito & Athina get right back down to business with 3 exclusive tracks. From the studio there is no stopping them, we're given some heat right in time for summer, with sounds that embellish the memories we'll all make this year on the sun stroked dance-floors.

Whether it's the silhouette of vocals dripping into the track, or losing yourself in the moment with everything... feeding off the frenetic energy that Losing Time provides, the title track is one to watch out for, and highlights the production chemistry that Danito & Athina pour into their music, which can give out some real magic.

And the magic keeps going right through the whole EP! Fitting every piece in the right place is the track Tetris, a compacted and powerful cut with a whole lot of kick that's another part of the package, and if that wasn't enough, we have the rhythmic twister that is Swipe, a uniquely different and fun track to set the mood for any night, and it's making a lot of noise in the process.

It's because of tracks like these that Danito & Athina are gaining head-way and earning a solid reputation, in essence they're tearing at the opportunity to bring more dismay to the floor with seriously good music, and we love them for it, so don't miss out.

Already being played out by some HEAVY names, the Losing Time EP will be released via Crossfrontier Audio and sees the light of day - 6th June, for more information hit us up at contact@crossfrontier-audio.com

‘Mare’ is Christian Löffler’s second studio album and follows in a similar vein to his self-released debut, 2012’s ‘A Forest’. Recorded in his painting atelier the album features an expanded co-work with Hamburg based vocalist Mohna and it’s the first time he has sung himself on a release.
A key difference is the much more organic feel of the music, nearly every sound and every instrument is self-recorded using a huge collective of self-modified synthesizers and traditional instruments.

Mare is out 7th October via Ki Records
