Dimitris Anagnostou - Abstract Thinking EP
Cat.No: HIS026
Release date: 07.12.2015

Yet another quality release on High Strings Records, this time from our beloved producer Dimitris Anagnostou. In a period of overkill and look-a-likes, it's great to hear an EP that really stands out.

His Abstract Thinking EP advances along dualistic footsteps; it's a three-track release equally split between music for the dancefloor and music for dreaming, taking listeners on an ethereal trip that transcends space and time with skittering hats and weightless pads.

Taken as a whole, Abstract Thinking is that rare idiosyncratic bomb of an EP that will keep dancers moving and trainspotters guessing - High Strings through and through.

"The Sound of Connaisseur" Radio Show #031 Echonomist and Thodoris Triantafillou - March 21th, 2016

Live Act for the Memento 10 years Celebration at Aigli Geni Hamam

Artist: Echonomist 
Title: Random Memory 
Cat.No.: HIS028
Label: High Strings
Format: Digital
Digital Release Date:11.04.2016

High Strings label Co-owner breaks a two-year long silence (at his own label) with a solid, punchy and attractive release.
Having already made waves with individual releases on labels such as Upon You, Rotary Cocktail and Memento records, he is now ready to offer a brilliant off-killer old school four to the floor and breakbeat single. 

"Random memory" came out from Petros persistence on nineties Rave culture and in-search of the remnants dance floor euphoria. Organ chords, reversed vocals and Jupiter8 synth basslines to form a bold production that sits somewhere between the early morning techno dancefloors of Berlin and the murky sweatbox raves of late-night South London. 

On the remix duties we invited Quell, an artist known for his releases on Ibadan Records, Pokerflat and 2020 Vision to name a few. His drum machine-laden rhythm tracks, and melodic experiments have enchanted the hearts of elite dance music tastemakers left and right.
Quell gives his own stamp to the original track which leans closer to a UK style of dubbed out bass coupled with an estranged yet futuristic touch of deep house.

My Favorite Robot/Cocoon mainstays Villanova ramp up for their first release on OFFwith two original tracks and an appearance by raw tech aficionado Echonomist on remix duty.
The French duo stray from their prevailing blend of sensual house, crafting a darker aesthetic fit for the label’s newfound coordinates.

First up is Control, a restrained yet uplifting cut. The steady beat and pulsating bassline are kept at bay, creating a tense yet solid atmosphere. Polyphonic synths interlaced with metallic ricochets are key condiments that make their presence on the second track as well.

Divago sets off with techtronic synths and accelerating beats, gradually ascending and building up tension throughout the entire track. The relieving peak point is thus replaced by an exhilarating “hands-in-the-air” moment of maximum impact.

Echonomist’s take on Divago is straightforward from the kickoff. Sectioning off original elements, and keeping the focus on bassline and percussion, the cut is reconstructed into an unrelenting late-night groove. The producer manages to imprint his biting style of thumping dark tech, in a rework that perfectly complements the inital composition.

Motek Podcast 042 - EcHonomist

Greek DJ and producer Echonomist, who's work had graced Dessous, Dien and Aeon, lands at New Violence doors armed with his Sunday Brunch. 

Early support from Guy Gerber, Marco Resmann, Adam Beyer and more

The title track is a timeless underground gem, that draws on classic techno references, while sounding as fresh as can be, with its subtle changes, drawing you in, and hypnotising you with its mystical feel, before cheekily phatteneing things up in the drop and picking the pace up taking us to the next level. 

Belgian born Sierra Sam, now residing in Berlin, has released on R&S, Dirt Crew, Supplement Facts,as well as co-profucing for Suburban Knight (UR, Peacefrog), and label managing Contexterrior and TuningSpork. His update of Sunday Brunch takes us firmly in to the techno arena, toughening up the vibe, and adding a Detroity nod to proceedings, utilising the pads from the original superbly.

The second original track is called 'Saturday Night Drive' and its a swaggering, vocal sampling, rising toned deep slab of techness that packs a serious punch, and oozes of class.
