Jonas Saalbach offers up his own take on ‘Implications’, laying the focus on elongated bass drones, sparse rhythms and whirring electronics to create a smooth and hypnotic interpretation.  

This big, melodic and euphoric track is a perfect representation of the German’s heavily musical style that has featured on labels like Parquet, Einmusika and Kollektiv Turmstrasse’s Musik Gewinnt Freunde.

Press Release: 
Wasting no time on the 2017 calendar, label bosses Pleasurekraft follow up the massive "Rigel" with their first EP of the year, with a little hand from Italian maestro Roberto Capuano. On the title track "Maskara", film aficionados might pick up on the use of composer Jocelyn Pook's "Masked Ball" which has now become infamous for its use in Stanley Kubrick's final film "Eyes Wide Shut". The boys' deft use of a small piece of the original work becomes the centerpiece around which everything else is constructed - with towering drums, and menacing chord stabs rounding out the track's dark landscape - just the way Kubrick might have envisioned it.

Closing out the EP, Roberto Capuano returns to the label to team up with the boys for the dark & brooding "Penetrator", a track that much like its lead melody slithers back and forth traversing the border between tech house and techno - a farewell to tech house - and a full embrace of the techno expanse that lay ahead for the imprint in 2017.

Both tracks already featured numerous times by Adam Beyer on his Drumcode podcast, Kraftek is very proud to present, the "Maskara EP".

Audio Junkies & Lonya - Imma (Balance Music)

One could say it's a tradition by now; four times a year, in every new season, we present a fine selection of music brought to you by various artists on our highly acclaimed 'Seasons' series. This time it's time for the Spring 2017 edition and we've got a rather impressive international line-up for you once again.

The release kicks off with JOBE who returns within the Manual label family hot on the heels of his successful 'Siege Of Syracuse EP' who drops a serious dance floor bomb in his trademark intense arpeggiator fueled sound. 

After that we've got the American / Dutch connection between newcomer Haidak and familiar face Jaap Ligthart who teamed up together on numerous collaborative efforts from which 'Mothership' is the first to see the light of day.

Willy Real has released his debut album 'Birthplace Of My Dream' on Manual Music last year and now returns with 'Sozinho'. A deep, smooth and sexy tune perfect for sultry summer nights.

Li-Polymer has been a household name in the progressive house scene for many years, but has never released on Manual/MNL up until now. His 'The Trees In The City' sounds very refreshing with it's crispy clear and airy production values. A nice dreamer.

We're finishing off the EP with a proper portion of acid with MAS returning the remix favors for Juliane Wolf after she'd remixed his 'a l'Antiboise' single earlier this year. 'Reunion' was originally released on the Manualism 10.0 album at the end of 2016. An lovely piece of electronica now turned into a fierce dance floor burner!

Realm Of Consciousness Pt.II

Get it here

AL005 - Keith Carnal - Cloudy Monday

In the early part of 2017, Dutch super-producer, Roger Martinez, graced the Proton Music catalogues with the deep rich grooves of his "Dream State" EP. As we now return to Martinez's twin-track offering, a pair of remixes from Ukrainian and UK talents provides new sustenance.

Consistently managing to make his mark within the underground dance industry, Stas Drive has remained at the forefront of both Ukraine and Russia's electronic music scene. A highly-regarded DJ, producer and promoter, his performances behind the decks at the likes of the famous Kazantip festival, have earned Stas a strong reputation across continental Europe. Production talent has shone in tandem with work in the live arena and a double century of credits tell their own story about the success of the Stas Drive sound. An appearance on Nick Warren's ground-breaking "The Soundgarden" in June 2014 with the beautiful "Arujna", coupled with a remix of Navid Mehr for Sudbeat in January 2015, have been notable career highlights as Stas has seen his music supported by a DJ elite that includes, Cattaneo, Sasha and Digweed. Furthermore, Stas has become a regular on the uber-cool Chapter 24 Records imprint with several high-profile releases planned throughout the remainder of 2017.

A pair of remixes of Scotty.A and Navar in 2015 and 2016 have illuminated the Stas Drive production talent thus far and it is a delight to welcome him back to Proton Music for a third time with an impeccable reworking of Roger Martinez. Taking a fresh, new approach to "Deep", the Stas Drive remix is full of hallmark rhythmic subtlety and melodic variation. Underpinned by a throbbing bass groove and sinister edge, melodic effects pepper the mid-range frequencies alongside textured pads and a modulated ambient bed that creates an eerie atmosphere. The result is an impressive and innovative rework with clever use of Martinez's original components.

UK born and Austrian based, Dan Baseley is a name that has discovered a rising tide of success with his Orsen soubriquet since a 2014 debut for Optimized Recordings. An artist with a unique approach to his craft, his vision flows through a "love for multiple styles of electronic music, unusual field recordings and sound design". With such attention to detail, Orsen's magnetic field has attracted support from fans and peers across the globe with his music played by such luminaries as Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo. The "Komorebi" EP for the latter's Sudbeat imprint in early 2016 highlighted this exalted position, as has work for Perspectives Digital, 3rd Avenue and Replug. Furthermore, Orsen's duties as label manager for the Cid Inc. owned imprint have seen his own work blossom and mature on the label.

A regular on Particles with his sound encapsulated by the "Elysium" EP in June 2015, Orsen's two remixes for Proton Music have opened up his distinctive sound to an ever-expanding audience. Reinterpretations of Mondkrater and Luc Angenehm are now complemented by a third which sees Orsen take a typically creative path in his reimagining of Roger Martinez's title track. A wonderful, stepped analogue sequence creates a flowing groove for a percussive section, redolent in layered off-beat claps, to nestle alongside strong beat and ticking hi-hats. Building effortlessly through a stripped back breakdown of aural creativity, the third movement once again picks up the rhythmic movement with the addition of a sublime delayed melody and Orsen's imaginative additional production material.

Remixes from Stas Drive and Orsen have seen Roger Martinez enter a new realm of consciousness within his "Dream State".

Italo-cosmonauts Marvin & Guy board Life and Death with Superior Conjunction.

Arpadia’s hypnotic theme compliments the title track’s restrained drama, while the Fantastic Twins’ spoken-word elevates The Train of Fantastic to an altered state of being.

ALLEY064
OOVATION Solar

001 original mix
002 michael a remix
003 verve remix

Borne out of industrial landscapes and urban vitality, German techno innovation collides with inspired audio engineering; Oovation travels the "Solar" winds to bright lights and city backdrops. Dominant beat and metallic rhythms create an atmosphere full of portents, twisted and distorted sounds pierce the sonic spectrum with their angular saw waves. Crystalline edged sequences tumble and fall in random patterns as a rare intensity fills the airwaves, demanding attention and acquiescence to an unforgiving character.

Belarusian proficiency creates bold new meaning; Michael A, blessed with technique, skill and diversity, builds a pulsating, brooding work. White noise washes rush across the stereo sound stage; a train flashes through a tunnel as a wall of sound envelopes all, joining forces with background noise. A crescendo of stunning architecture builds through an aural montage of industrial sounds juxtaposed against bass line warmth of sun-kissed skies at dusk, spine-tingling beauty in subtle variation.

Trademark sonic Verve emerges from the Australian Sydney coastline. The sights and sounds of a sprawling metropolis transposed across a work of mechanised beauty. A jackhammer beat pounds the lower frequencies in perfect meter as hi-hats and sizzling snares create a stratified layer of mid-range sonics; the refracted array of light through patterned window scatters in shimmering percussive beauty. Coruscating arpeggios glitter in open-filtered glory, a twisting carriageway cuts through a stark and angular panorama, surrounded by an industrial heartland and a high-tech new world.

Dark steel of clouds and slate grey concrete, the gentle electric hum of a city alive with music.
