Monococ & Kreisel - Feel This Bout EP

Two titans of the electronic scene, @D-Nox & @StereoUnderground deliver two new gems.

After the hit single „Dolby“ on Einmusika, both artists are back with their next EP titled, “Gruuve.”

The lead track is a melodic deep groover that starts to get all wobbly and freaky, as the real filthiness and energy unfolds. Big and Bold!

And the second track 'Creativity' is more stripped back with spoken word. It’s techno slanted flavours are released before some nasty bass vibes flow… it packs a real punch!

Germany's D-Nox, one half of D-Nox & Beckers, runs his own Sprout record label while touring heavily as a solo DJ. His music has graced other big labels such as Selador and Stil Vor Talent to name a few. 

Stereo Underground, a leading figure in the Israeli new school techno sound runs Tel Aviv's BPM College, while releasing on Einmusika, Lost & Found, UV and Sprout.

Next up for Desert Hearts Black comes a transatlantic meeting of minds in the form of ‘Fade’ by heavy hitters John Monkman & Rinzen. 

As two artists with solo careers already in high gear, John and Rinzen have been in each other's orbits for a number of years via remixes and mutual collaborators. This marks their first track together - and what a debut it is! 

John is signed to a number of great imprints including Kompakt, Ellum and Last Night On Earth, and with a Beatport #1 and the endorsement of the scene’s elite behind him, he debuted his new live show at none other than Coachella Festival in 2018 wowing the critics in the process. 

Rinzen is a product of the burgeoning LA dance scene. Breaking out in 2017, he’s quickly established himself with releases on labels like Bedrock, Oddity and Factory93. Widely described as having an otherworldly sound, his unique soundtrack has delighted fans around the world at shows as diverse as Printworks (London), Stereo (Montreal) and beyond. 

Aimed squarely at the peak time, ‘Fade’ launches into life from the first beat. Techy percussion and synth washes marry with the killer drums for instant impact. Melodies up the ante - creating a sense of dancefloor euphoria from the first drop. Growing throughout the track, the tension is finally lifted with rich vocals delivered by Monkman, leading to an emphatic finale. An anthemic journey that will delight clubland all through 2023.

Berlin’s first lady, Anja Schneider, remixes Marbs’ recent hit record, ‘Whitefence’ 

Everyone has their origin story, Anja’s begins with the legendary club, Tresor. After a magical first experience and an epiphany that Techno could be her life’s journey, Anja moved to Berlin and set out to make her dreams come true. Some 30 years later, she has achieved more than she could ever imagine. A DJ throughout the ‘90s, she opened her production portfolio in 2005 with a Sebo K collaboration on her new imprint, Mobilee, a label which would become seminal. After 12 years at the helm, she launched her new venture SoUs and continues to push a warm, richly musical, tech sound. 

For her remix, Anja strips the original back to basics and injects a a ton of funk. Opening with wonky fx and a tough kick, subtle disco bass and vocal ad libs keep it groovy, baby. Riding the automation, the bassline mutates and envigorates to the break where a moment of calm is broken by a dancefloor of happy clubbers dancing their troubles away. A classic sound from the queen of clubland!

Marbs - Whitefence (Anja Schneider Remix)

Something of a musical savant, Argentinian maestro Martin has been honing his craft since the tender age of 15. Now signed to some incredible labels including Infinite Depth, Sinners and Steyoyoke, his deep melodies and dark sound is quickly finding favour with the global DJ elite. 

‘They Won’t Be There’ is a glorious drumwork out that just gets better and better. Melodic swells unleash the energy midway, where the track explodes into life. ‘Arritmia’ explodes from the speakers from the off. A sleepy giant to start with, it wakes up with melancholic fury and emotive rapture. Spiky synths marry orchestral pads for a wondrous late night wig-out. Equally, 

On remix duties are two artists with worldwide weight and name. Analog Context toughens up ‘Arritmia’ for the main room floor with a thunderous low end and stripped back percussive framework. Axel Haube drops a four to the floor beat and focuses on the rich tapestry of melodics for a darker late night groove.

Desert Hearts Black’s visionary label head and musical enchanter Marbs sets off the autumn with a new single. His last release “Whitefence” came with a stellar remix by Berlin’s techno queen Anja Schneider and got some heavy support by the likes of Joris Voorn, Marco Carola and Paco Osuna. And now, everyone’s favourite “Papa Bear” is ready to set sails on another solo quest with the masterpiece “Yamaiay”. 

The track shows Marbs’ diversity musically as he takes us a little deeper into his realm of techno. A gritty bass takes the center stage surrounded by tight percussions and melodic sweeps, creating a wonderland of possibilities. Towards the break we realise Marbs is taking us on a dramatic and tension fuelled journey, laced with dark skewness before the euphoric melodies sweeps you off your feet in the big break. 

Marbs is known as a lover of music in all its forms, which has lead to an incredible and diverse catalogue at Desert Hearts Black. Again and again he brings his solid yet playful energy to his productions and DJ-sets, making him a must hear on the dance floor wherever he goes.

Marbs - Yamaiay (Original Mix)

Desert Hearts Black label boss Marbs is rounding off this wild year with a very special treat. When we think about 2023, it's been a year filled with highs and lows, good and bad. So what better way to end the year than with a tune that is not only capable of bringing out massive emotions on the dance floor, but also gives room for reflection? We know Marbs as a musical butterfly, making music that defies genre classification. "The Devil's Love" is Marbs in a brand new suit, something you have never heard from him before.

In "The Devil's Love", Marbs creates a transcendental atmosphere with an elegant piano and goosebump inducing vocals that smoothly draw us into the realm of breaks. A heavy bass sets in and together with the energetic groove it provides a powerful core, while keeping enough space for the intricate percussive elements. The track exceeds everything you thought you knew about Marbs, making it the perfect end to one year and the start of another.

This track is part of my first ever EP called "PELEBO EP" released in collaboration with one of Horatio Labels "Natural Rhythm". This Ep is made by two afro tracks Pelebo & Melodic Matters. A feeling of forest, a combination of forest sounds with drums, piano, percussion, serum, guittar, tribe vocals and so much love and dedication working on this gems.

A&R Manager Pascal Augner aka Beatamines returns with an amazing EP that gets the remix treatment from Julian Wassermann plus the up and coming Mon Groove!
Beatamines track is delivering a top notch slice of dance floor house music - that really does the business. Swirling hoover sounds and white noise, meets an industrial sounding bassline - that will bring some high fiving and smiles to your dance floor. #essential
Berlin based Julian Wassermann remix is textbook example of how to create a perfectly paced searching dance floor tech house cut. A superb flowing groove laced with cool stabs is the order of the day here; a perfect mood changer for any type of set.
