Maximum energy in here.

Without a doubt the duo known as Dole & Kom have been an influential staple in Berlin's music scene for long. As a DJ-team they're looking back on a two decades plus history,  they've been active on the label circuit with imprints like BCC Music and Death By Disco since the mid-90s, have released tracks and remixes under their main and many covert aliases on countless imprints ever since and most importantly - they're about to drop their new „Pocket Holder EP“ on Formatik Records these days.
With „Mirror“ we see the Berlin-based pair of producers bring on some highly defined, yet well grooving TechHouse vibes for vibrant floors, getting everyone hyped through the distinctiveness of the tunes bass motif which is nicely contrasted by buzzing high frequencies and a massive Rave breakdown ready to destroy dancefloors with the sheer power of its blasting signals.
The title track „Pocket Holder“ sees Dole & Kom emphasizing on their sexy bass grooves again which are somewhat of a trademark for their production efforts, adding some slightly twisted, tongue-in-cheek elements, ever climaxing siren sounds and a slightly pitched down male vocal line that defo stands out in the context of every DJ set whilst the tune itself balances the thin line between Tech- and ElectroHouse... and a good portion of high octane madness as well.   
Finally „Smoke“ caters more sub-frequent sexiness and a certain swing within the TechHouse genre whilst warped bass tones and video game-resembling bleeps provide a bouncing foundation for micro-cut, ever climaxing vocal bits to get punters pumped for a spiralling journey into electronic music heavens.

And his first single „Let's Go“ defo proves why that is.

The opening title track „Let's Go“ brings forth a clean cut, heavily stomping TechHouse groove alongside a sharp hi-hat swing as a main foundation for the tunes distinct, high octane bassline motif, trademark vocals and raw epic klaxon'esque sweeps best served in a context of four figure audience warehouse raves in absolute peaktime situations.

Coming up with his second single release for Formatik Records within only a few months is Daniel Levak – the German producer and festival promoter who worked summer floors hard with his label debut „Let's Go“ throughout the hot season and is now „Popping Bottles“ in celebration of his massive success.

The opening title track „Popping Bottles“ brings forth a quite dark'ish and brooding take on sample-driven TechHouse, based on super sharp hi-hats and gnarly sawtooth bass modulations for heaving peaktime dancefloors which get their extra thrill out of additional cowbell sequencing and larger than life snare rolls leading into even more muscular bass power.

With „Get Down“ we see Daniel Levak catering more of his hyper-seductive low end works, speeding up things a little whilst bringing down the house with fluttering, Klaxon'esque bass blasts especially created to shed blood on the Dancefloor and fully max out the capacity of big ass rave rigs all over the globe.

Kuestenklatsch - "All My Friends" (Original Mix) CTX061 Preview

Fresh for 2020 we see long time friend and contributor Tobi Kramer making a comeback to Formatik Records with his new single „No Way“, providing new musical evidence and proof of how far his sonic evolution has taken this massively talented producer since he made his label debut back in 2013 – an astounding seven years ago.

With the title track „No Way“ Tobi Kramer explores the dark side of TechHouse, opening with hard hitting drums, a hefty build up and sharp, metallic percussions before a rolling low end hits relentlessly, accompanied by midrange focused sawtooth synths, acidic bleeps and an undeniably technoid attitude for peaktime abuse. Brutal.

Following up is „Aquarius“, the second cut on this single which sees Tobi Kramer on a hard pumping House tip, bringing on a seductive, shuffling groove, ecstatic, highly recognizable vocal sample, high octane bass power, drumroll- driven breakdowns and most importantly: a shit-ton of positive energy which is about to cause havoc on each and every dancefloor worldwide. Raw.

Welcome aboard, Dompe! The Cologne-based DJ and producer, better known to his friends and family under the name of Dominic Wagner, touches down on Formatik+ with a new two track single, presenting a serious label debut after making waves on imprints like Jackfruit, Style Rockets, Ostfunk and more for about a decade now.

Opening with "Coke Power" Dompe is on a high octane uptempo TechHouse tip from the get go, combining a sweet hi-hat shuffle with super seductive bass grooves as well as a killer vocal sample from the Funk-driven past, adding a bit of extra fuel for all them peaktime punters out there.

The subsequent "Active" presents a similar attitude in terms of seductive hyperfunctionality and precisely rolling grooves, yet employs a sharper overall tonality, percussive, mechanical sample use as well as classic white noise sweeps and a large scale, highly recognizable synth motif for ecstatic moments of relief whenever the track breaks down for a moment.

Established in 2009 by Berlin-based DJs and producers Jakob Hildenbrand and Franziskus Sell, known, praised and recognized by fans and followers of electronic club music under their conjunctional moniker Format B, Formatik Records was initially installed as a homebase for the pairs own productions.

After their so-called Motor Funk-sound, a forward thinking take on pumping, straightforward, high octane electronic music represented both by releases on labels like Highgrade Records or Stil For Talent as well as an endless string of captivating live sets, had caught the attention of clubbers and media alike the pair felt the need to create a platform of their own that would grant them full creative freedom as well as unlimited quality control for a fertile and fecund future.      

Whilst taking care of the A& R side of things Format B teamed up with electronic music veteran Hawks Grunert on management duties, setting up an imprint that soon gained massive traction, became one of the major forces on the global club circuit and quickly grew way beyond the teams initial plannings and intentions.
 
With its core sound being defined by the powerful Motor Funk / Tech-Funk production of its founders Formatik Records soon became home and mothership for a vast array of likeminded producers and friends whose single releases are still rocking dancefloors all over the place.

Spreading the labels trademark sound further and catering towards the needs of an ever growing fanbase the label soon expanded and started to set up Formatik Records club nights and showcases all over Europe back in 2014, selling out  shows and leaving punters in awe whereever these nights are taking place.

Aside from carving out an in demand niche as club promoters the Formatik Records crew also started to take care of their artists bookings with their very own booking agency Formatik Booking which was subsequently renamed, restructured and relaunched in 2017 under the name of VIVID Artists which is now successfully handling things bookingwise for a good portion of the labels roster plus a carefully picked selection of other aspiring as well as well established artists and performers.

In addition to these musings the ever busy Formatik Records team established a second, rapidly growing musical outlet in 2017. Embracing a broader musical spectrum than its Motor Funk-oriented mothership, the freshly founded label FMK+ provides a home for a new generation of producers covering a wide range of electronic club music incorporating a musical spectrum including all things House, ElectroHouse, TechHouse, Techno and beyond. With more than 10 red hot releases within the first year the new FMK+ branch has received much love amongst DJ's and from an international dancefloor crowd and quickly turned out to be a launchpad for fresh, upcoming talent from all over the globe.

Branching out even further Formatik Records launched an additional subdivision in early 2018 – FormatikSounds. Focusing on the ever growing demand for high quality samples and grooves this specific and one of a kind label provides exclusive sample packs for DJ's and producers alike, starting operations with Format:B's “TechHouse Signature Cuts”, an acclaimed release which sees the upfront production team unveiling some of their best kept secrets soundwise, catering to the needs of every creator of contemporary club sounds of today.
