Chiapet - Tick Tock (Original Mix)

http://deathtechno.com/2015/09/27/dtp-william-welt-stalker

Death Techno’s own DEAD CERT. Records (@DEADCERTrecords) began releasing digitally in 2013 and has gained huge support thus far from many of Techno’s leading tastemakers including James Ruskin, Dave Clarke, Rebekah, Cari Lekebusch and Alan Fitzpatrick charting and set listing tracks.

After much planning and patience DEAD CERT. makes a move into its first VINYL ONLY release that features original material from label bosses William Welt & Jack! Who? (@William-Welt_Eye-Shadow & @Jack-Who) along with a freaky remix from New York vinyl head DJ Spider (@DJSpiderNYC) of Plan B Recordings and Berlin’s enigmatic Killekill.

“Stalker” is a dark and twisted monster, that broods from the bubbling bottom end. Added to the tension are metallic sheens and a sinister, yet dreamy atmosphere that pushes forward with a dirty groove making it a diverse production to suit different moods.

DEAD CERT. Records is a label devoted to techno in various forms. Having made its first release in July 2013 it’s been an incredible start for the new imprint, with releases featuring Audio Injection (Truncate) and Hans Bouffmyhre amongst an impressive roster of artists. It’s clear to see why the label has been seen in set lists and charts from people including Cari Lekebusch, Dave Clarke and Rebekah. 

Set up by duo William Welt and Jack! Who?, the label is linked to the now infamous Death Techno mix series, that has guests including Joachim Spieth, Mike Wall and Miss Sunshine amongst many others. 

William and Iain met through the North East of England’s club scene where they regularly found themselves DJ'ing at the same parties. William who plays both House and Techno already ran 22 Digit Records which focuses on house and deep techno. Iain mentioned he was looking to launch a label linked to his mix show, William saw this as the perfect opportunity to explore his darker side and DEAD CERT. was born. 

After over a year of releasing music in a digital format it seemed the logical step for the label to start pressing vinyl, this being the first in a series of four track, vinyl only releases. This new branch of the label to be entitled “DEADCERTBLACK” will be pressing limited runs of 300 units. 

The first release sees William Welt and Jack! Who? step out from the shadows and take the spot light with three of their own productions. Two of which are collaborations and the third is a solo production from William Welt that gets the remix treatment from DJ Spider. 

The first track on the EP titled “Stalker” is the sole production from William and as the title suggests it’s a twisted monster hungry for prey. Thick hi-hats and a heavy clap rhythm hold the groove whilst pulsating filters breathe life into the menacing bass line. The track’s vibe is broken only for a split second when warm pads cut through the mix like a short lived break in the clouds on an otherwise dark and stormy day. 

Based in New York (USA) Rob Hampton aka DJ Spider is known for his love of vinyl and all things analogue. Having releases on trend setting labels like Killekill he also heads up Plan B Recordings along with Sublevel Sounds and Beneath The Underground Music. Keeping the original tracks dark vibe DJ Spider puts his own twisted spin on Stalker and stripped back the sound to create space for his own robotic ambience. Filled with machine like percussion and cracks of reverb he uses sparse FX to create a soundscape with just enough bite to keep the dancefloor moving. 

“Creeper” is the first of the two collaborations and Jack! Who?’s presence is instantly felt. With a groove that’s firmly focused at the dancefloor the track is both tense and spacious. Metallic hi-hats combine with murky percussion that flutters like the beating wings of an oversized insect. Although percussion led, the track is layered with growling bass swells and monstrous FX which keeps it both captivating and intense. 

The second of the two collaborations entitled “Lurker” is the fourth and final track on the release. Clean and full, the track is the deepest on the EP and provides perfect contrast to complete the package. Focusing on metallic pad sounds, it has a strong dub influence and a flowing groove. Very much a game of two halves it’s the perfect tool to make the transition between warm up and peak time, as Introduced in the main break is a lead pad that takes it up a gear.

Now on its twentieth release it welcomes Berlin based Caremajor aka Julian Krämer who comes hotly tipped after recent releases on labels including Illegal Alien, Abstract Mechanisms and Cracking Claps.

Providing the remix on this release is Spanish artist Unam Zetineb who also releases under the name of UZB. Between his two production aliases he has built up an impressive back catalogue which includes Dustin Zahn's label Enemy Records, Hans Bouffymhre's Sleaze, Joachim Spieth's Affin and DJ Hi-Shock's Elektrax to name but a few.

Unam Zetineb's stunning rework has a distinct driving and hypnotic aesthetic that throbs and pulsates from the bottom up. Chopping muted samples and sonic flashes create tension that builds intensely. The main hook steadily creeps in, which acts as a highlight over the pounding yet highly intricate beat.

Ekserd - Hidden Document II (Głós Remix)

Array Access - Variation 1 (Ekserd Remix)

The 'Echo 8' EP is loaded with four heavy-artillery cuts, all of which throw caution to the wind and bite hard. It's fierce, it's thunderous, it's quintessential Dehnert. We're giving you the first spin of the title-track and you'd better prepare for the fire.

Metalic. jangling synths throw their weight around from the first beat and continue to do so with the backing of a heavy kick throughout. Cosmic synths back up the main riff midway through but it's pretty much no-holds barred from start to finish. Arm yourself with this one and reap the rewards on the dancefloor.

Premiere: Mike Dehnert 'Echo 8'

We have the premiere of 'Lockers' and it's classic, rib-shaking Hood. 

From the first beat you're drawn in with pulsating riffs, thick, weighted kicks and fierce, groove-inducing snares. Before the melodic sound of Floorplan hits, let's go back to where it all began and who better to take us there than the king himself.

Premiere: Robert Hood 'Lockers'

All credit to J Choirboy for making a tune that sounds exactly like it's title suggests. For those of you too young to remember, Fantazia was one of the legendary early 90s mega-raves held in The Sanctuary in Milton Keynes - and J Choirboy has knocked together a sublime piece of breakbeat throwback in homage [read more on Ransom Note here - http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/premieres-exclusive-streams/premiere-j-choirboy-fantazia/ ]

02. Delusion (@JosePouj Remix) 
03. Hallucination 
04. Insanity

DEAD CERT. Records is a UK Techno label with previous releases featuring music from artists including Audio Injection / Truncate, Joachim Spieth, Hans Bouffmyhre, DJ Spider and Eomac to name but a few. 

The first artist EP of 2016 sees Lithuanian talent Jonas Kazlauskas, who produces under the alias of Calli, make his debut release on DEAD CERT. Records. With impressive production skills, he has put out fresh cuts on other labels that include Partyzanai, State of Techno and Shaded Music, whilst he has also been remixed by a number of other artists such as the superb Svreca who heads up the giant Semantica Records. 

The single remix on this release comes from Spanish artist Jose Pouj who is the label boss of Injected Poison Records, which along with his own music has featured a high pedigree of artists such as Radial, Reeko, Tadeo, NX1, Kwartz, Jonas Kopp and Christian Wünsch amongst many others. 

The first track "Delusion" starts Psychosis off with a bang. A moody and hypnotic beast that gets lit up with some strung out acid that chimes over a huge swelling beat. Powerful and engrossing, it has bursts of energy combined with a sense on menace. 

Jose Pouj remixes Delusion and romanticises the main elements, but after the intro passes, a whole new angle is revealed by a bouncing bass line and haunting atmospherics. Groovy and warm, he creates a sense of urgency and inside lurks a dark and mysterious sense of tension. 

"Hallucination" is the third offering that opens with a thundering kick and tripped out sub bass swells. A skittering beat this time, that is instantly infectious whilst it holds a tight groove and lets the lead sound evolve, sweeping the mix like a brooding hurricane. 

The fourth and last track on the release titled "Insanity" has an acid offensive that’s layered over a monstrous beat. Then like a interplanetary assault from an alien race, the fierce mechanical stabs attack and combine with other worldly sounds to create a futuristic harmonic tapestry.
