Overstatement

Trailblazer Blue Hour, alongside label boss, Dold, continues to expand the Arsenik imprint with a quartet of failsafe dance floor heaters. The release pushes innovative sounds for the Sweden-based label, spanning dub-soaked and dreamy house to the echoes of early rave and obscure techno.

Fireground's live sets brim with joy and Mediterranean warmth, so as we have now passed the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and are well on en route to leave the long, cold winter behind, what could be more fitting than a new release from the duo? 

As with their three previous releases on Tresor (Dualism, Refreshing Part 1, and Dreams) for Love Letter Angela and Daniele have created a heady melange of styles of techno synonymous with the turn of the century with such outrageous elan and jubilation that they practically embody the musical term giocoso:

"We had the "summer" concept in mind from the beginning, this pushed us to create a message in our sound making it uplifting and engaging, capable of conveying a positive, romantic and warm vibe.

In our productions we always give priority to the harmonic parts such as melodies, pads, piano and guitar riffs, the peculiarity of this EP is that all the tracks were born first from these elements, and only at the end the groove was crafted, not due to a difference in importance, rather to ensure that the rhythmic part paid as much respect as possible to the harmonic part."

This decision to build upwards from the harmonics has paid dividends: the entrance of a string section provokes visions of a rapt club crowd cheering with exultation; a looped groove stimulates a connection to such gleeful nostalgia that is almost certain to be heard at many festivals in coming months; a blissful pad sweeps over a track like the first rays of sun in the morning; a filtered synth rises to be met with a xylophone-like countermelody&hellip;every track has a moment where the music overflows with some form of happiness. Together the collection promises, and perhaps even delivers, a summer both ecstatic and joyful.

LABEL : Enemy Records

Spanning 4 tracks, Dustin Zahn debuts a promising new French artist, Blenk! Already road tested by our favorite trusted DJs, the EP is a perfect marriage of deep and heavy tracks that can easily be placed in a variety of different sets. 
'' 'Vegetation' is ideal for those in need of a moody intro or something to create extra tension when it's far past everyone's bedtime! 'Raining' remains minimalistic but keeps you perfectly locked into the groove. The perfect DJ sets have peaks and valleys, man...so blast this one on the way up!
'Frame's is without a doubt the banger on this EP but somehow stays somewhat restrained. Great stuff for when you have the room fully under your control. The EP rounds off with the funkiest offering, 'Cells'. This is the jam for those who don't like as much doom and gloom in their techno! I gotta say, not bad for a debut EP!'' - DZ
