Stephen J. Kroos - Codd (Mariana Remix)

With another versatile and impressive four track EP, Dutch techmeister Stephen J. Kroos again proves that quantity and quality can go hand in hand.

Chosen to open James Grant’s ‘Anjunadeep:03’ disc, the first track ‘Micrsh’ is an ocean’s deep tech-house masterpiece that operates at the deeper end of the label’s spectrum. A journey through glistening shimmers and beautiful bass chasms, ‘Micrsh’ lulls the listener into its dreamy groove before tweaking their consciousness with subtle shifts in its rhythmic matrix.  

Adding a deep melodic touch, ‘When Autumn Comes’ takes things closer to the sound of classic Detroit techno with its warm pads and clean analogue synth melodies.   

Upping the tempo slightly, ‘Encode’ is a hypnotic tech-houser with a cheeky bump and plenty of twists and turns - including a curveball uplifting breakdown. 

Impressive finale ‘Safe Radiation’ sees the Dutchman in more melodic mood still, thanks to a hypnotic, unwinding synth-line that gradually works its way through the track in an epic, ambitious arrangement.

After releasing the two Spring Tube Limited' singles for the tracks from 'A Multimodal Approach To Investigate The Hallucinating Brain Of Stephen J. Kroos' album ("Etiological" w/ Che Armstrong & Chris Johnson, Loquai remixes, and "Stax" w/ Oliver Lieb, Napalm & d-phrag remixes) now we're ready to present the Spring Tube's singles for the two other tracks from Stephen's second double album.

First up is the "Pluviophile" single. Besides the original which is undoubtedly one of the brightest tracks in Kroos' latest album the pack includes two different remixes - the classy progressive house interpretation by none other than the legendary producer Goktug Citci aka Subsky [Plastic City, Release Records, Urban Torque, Dutchie, Forensic, Looq, Acryl] from Turkey, and the great progressive breaks version by our prominent resident Nafeu Nasir aka Phrakture from Canada.

Stephen J. Kroos - Phenomenology

Stephen J. Kroos’ last track ‘Mnenosyne’ picked up radio support from techno baron Dave Clarke (the White Noise show on Holland’s 3FM) and DJ plays from James Zabiela and Laurent Garnier. On the ‘Reperfusion EP’, Anjunadeep’s techno master Stephen J Kroos continues his stunning return to form with another four track hit of bittersweet rhythmic trickery. 

Both deeply trippy and highly technical, lead track ‘Reperfusion’ is a subtle but stirring 7 ½ minute techno epic that lulls you in with its atmospheric female vocal husks and a throbbing, beautifully textured groove. 

Intricately constructed, ‘Angiogenesis’ is a slightly more dramatic, string-led affair with a poignant breakdown, while ‘Ubiquitination’ draws on deep house vibes to create a low burning groove full of jacks, tweaks and bounces.  So deep you’d need a ladder to climb back out of it, the hypnotic ‘Inflammation’ completes the package.
