PREMIERE: Chris Zippel — Ombra (Extended Mix) [Meanwhile Horizons]

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Marmion’s seminal classic Schöneberg, Superstition Records are releasing a new 21-track collection of the best remixes over the last three decades, including two brand new versions from DJ T. and Chris Zippel. 

If there were to be a compilation celebrating the golden era of European techno, Schöneberg would arguably be the opening track. The most famous cut that came out of Mijk van Dijk and Marcos López’s project Marmion, Schöneberg is perhaps the purest form of what the clubs and raves of Berlin sounded like in the early 90s, and stands as one of the most revered and fondly remembered tracks of all time. 

Mijk van Djik and Marcos Lopez formed Marmion after meeting while studying at the FU Berlin, and began Djing together at clubs across the city. It was from their sets that the seed for  Schöneberg was sown, as they tried to find a balance between the techno and trance sounds that dominated the clubs. It was an era ripe for experimentation, and for cross-pollination between genres, as van Djik recalls: "Coldcut was doing pop, Kevin Saunderson was playing up and down all the floors, everything fit. I didn't feel like I had to limit myself or focus on one style”.

Schöneberg was recorded in a single session, and though they returned to it several times afterwards, they never felt they improved on that first creative burst. Released as part of the Berlin E.P. back in 1993, it was heavily championed by influential figures like Tony De Vit and became one of the defining anthems of the 90s. 

Over the years it has been remixed a huge number of times, by a wide range of artists. Now, to celebrate 30 years since its original release, Superstition have collected the best of the remixes – from artists like DJ Hell, John Acquaviva Remix, Der Dritte Raum, Tim Engelhart and Donnacha Costello – presented here with two brand new remixes from DJ. T and Chris Zippel, both of whom do a sterling job of putting their own unique spin one this stone-cold classic.

Marmion - Schöneberg (Chris Zippel Remix)

An artist who has spent his entire adult life working in the electronic music industry, Chris Zippel has been at the sharp end of the underground dance scene since the age of 15. Having worked with such illustrious stars as Robbie Williams, The Pet Shop Boys and Norah Jones, the Berlin-based artist has been a regular across some of dance music's esteemed imprints. His work for Ubersee Music, Elektrolux, Allisum and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile Horizons, has given Chris a highly respected place at dance music's top table, as he now makes his Particles debut.

"Glossy" is an immaculately engineered offering that sparkles with progressive splendour. Full of percussive vibrancy and swung, head-shaking groove, a smooth bassline pattern adds subtle intensity to proceedings. Before long, a swathe of complementary melodic components make their play as cadenced plucks provide dancefloor character and a compelling, ceaseless energy. Through shaker pattern, well-placed clap and snare fills and a rising club-friendly pace, "Glossy" is a masterfully produced affair that is certain to find favour with DJs across the world.

Simos Tagias has played a significant part in Proton history with 30 production credits split across its labels. The "Airlock" and "Audacity" EPs in 2017 and 2018 saw the Greek artist chart a serene path through the Proton Music catalogue, as have a clutch of remixes for the likes of Dimuth K, LADS and GMJ. Similarly, the "Restricted Area" and "Drunk State" original tracks made their mark on Particles in 2014 before reworkings of Antrim and James Monro in 2017. Further remixes of Gaston Ponte and Tongue & Groove lit up the second half of 2022 and the early part of 2023 as Simos Tagias now returns to Particles for a seventh remix on the label.

Reworking "Glossy" with typically impressive flair, the core themes of the original form the basis for a new rhythmic pattern to revolve around a heavy beat and steady bassline sequence. An atmospheric vocal cut, drenched in delay adds atmosphere aplenty as trademark pads and enthralling chord progressions create multi-faceted layers of additional production. Building through a gloriously evocative breakdown, the second half blossoms into another dancefloor gem as a metrical synth pattern creates an imaginative and effortless remix.

Shining brightly with a "Glossy" and deftly produced original work, Chris Zippel is a welcome addition to the Particles roster.

🐍️ David Phoenix – The Keenest Eye 🐍️

Release date 🌀 09/08/2024

The portal reveals a realm adorned with vibrant red leaves drifting gently through the air. In the center, a figure leaps with graceful agility, their identity concealed in the shadowy silhouette of a warrior reminiscent of ancient legends. The scene exudes an aura of mystery and honor, inviting contemplation of the warrior’s symbolic significance in this uncharted realm. What tales of valor and skill lie hidden behind the veil of this enigmatic warrior’s visage? The fluttering leaves whisper secrets of battles fought and wisdom gained, painting a picture of a solitary journey through landscapes unknown.

DAVID PHOENIX sets the stage with THE KEENEST EYE, a blend of rhythmic beats meticulously intertwined with sounds evoking martial artistry. Each note resonates with the disciplined movements of the unseen warrior, creating a compelling fusion of music and combat prowess. In a transformative twist, FANTOO remixes THE KEENEST EYE into a potent techno interpretation, amplifying the original’s essence with a cleaner groove, driving forward with relentless energy.

Premiere: Sarkis Mikael - Stay ft. St. Terrible & WEND (CIOZ Remix) [Dreaming Awake]

We're happy to present our new track. Out last Friday 9th August. 

This one is a remix of Tomorrow by Jerome Isma Ae and Paul Thomas that originally came out on Toolroom 14 years ago (and hit the number 1 spot on Beatport). Our version is out on our home away from home label UV.

We're massive fans of Jerome and Paul and so when they asked us to remix this classic of theirs we obviously jumped at the chance!

The riff is a belter and there were loads of great samples to work with. On first hearing it we had this idea of making a bassline like Scorchio by Sasha & Emerson (an all time classic that you have to check out if you don't already know it).
We did so but on sending it around to our friends we had comparisons to Armand van Helden instead (which we were definitely happy about too!)

The rest of the track came together nicely, with a disco influence to the drums and then those great vocals from the original providing the cherry on top.

Early radio support has come from Above & Beyond, Solarstone, Cosmic Gate, Sultan & Shepard, Paul Thomas, Raz Nitzan, Aly & Fila and loads more., and we've had great feedback from some of our favourite artists including Joris Voorn, Eelke Kleijn, Nora En Pure, PvD, Sister Bliss, Andy Moor, Just Her, Judge Jules and more so a huge thanks everyone for the support so far!

The track is out now to download exclusive at Beatport (where it is already up to 10 in the prog chart) and to stream everywhere.
