━ info ━━━━━━━━━━━━━┑
With “Kickr”, doerd delivers a confident yet refreshingly unpretentious debut on Plastic City – a release that lets the music speak with clarity rather than volume. The EP introduces the producer’s artistic identity through two reduced, groove-oriented deep house tracks that strike a careful balance between club-driven energy and deliberate sonic restraint. Instead of leaning on flashy hooks or oversized drops, doerd focuses on the essential elements: pulse, texture, groove, and atmosphere.

This approach gives the EP a raw, honest quality — the kind of authenticity that emerges when a producer trusts the power of subtle movement over overt dramatics. Every sound feels placed with intention; every rhythm breathes with space. “Kickr” and “Ortho” evolve gradually, building a hypnotic momentum that invites listeners into a deeper listening experience, whether on the dancefloor or in a quiet, reflective moment with headphones.

The “Kickr EP” stands as a subtle yet powerful counterpoint to today’s rapid electronic landscape – timeless, precise, and guided by a producer who knows the strength of restraint. With refined groove and space, the tracks unfold quietly but with intention, revealing their depth through fine details.

━ tracklist ━━━━━━━━━━━┑
KICKR: A reduced deep house tool with rolling basslines, clear drums and finely placed accents. Minimalist, driving and perfect for setting the tone for early warm-ups or late afterhours.

ORTHO: The warmer, more introspective antithesis. Velvety textures, soft pads and a calm, continuous groove create an immersive feeling – ideal for deeper terrain and atmospheric transitions.

Juliet Sikora & King Brain - Katerschmaus (agent! Remix)

Akbal Music has now been turning out essential dance music for a whole ten years and to celebrate this milestone the label puts out a vinyl only release from a fine selection of contemporary artists.

Vinyl only treat starts from long time German talent Sascha Dive,the Deep Vibes
boss’s ‘Lab#4’ is a quick and prickly number that sucks you into a shady groove
underpinned with real bass menace. 

Next up is Superlounge with Uluwatu Dub. The track starts swiftly with clever percussions and a lush pad quickly to progress with several drums rhythms into the bass that will keep the listeners tuned into its groove.

Romanian Mano Andrei appears with a sleek and stripped back tune that is full of electronic soul and infectiously bumpy drums and hypnotic vibes.

Finally minimal master Eastenderz and CatchRecordings associate Doubtingthomas is next with his vinyl onlyoffering, going for a much more intricate, synthetic, richly designed deep house tune that is soft, succulent and truly sublime.

This is a fulsome package that packs plenty of punch and showcases exactly the sort of quality dance music that Akbal Music has been, and will always be, about.

A2 - Superlounge - Uluwatu Dub [Akbal Music]

What makes everybody's darling duo Monkey Safari so special is surely their authenticity; with their striking debut album ‘Odyssey’, this meant producing the same kind of tracks they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. The result was a dance floor artwork. And while they may be perfectionists, they’re certainly no purists, carefully handpicking remixers they see as most capable of continuing their vision for the album.

Split in 3 separate EPs, ‘Odyssey Remixes – One’, ‘Two’, and ‘Three’ will be released in May, June, and July 2018, featuring reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus, Trivmph, and Hommage label co-chief Karl Friedrich.

Carl Cox: “Being a fan of Monkey Safari, it was a pleasure to do this mix for them, this track was the one that got me, the moodyness, power and the layers of sound, is musical art to me. I just wanted to compliment what they have always done and make a Coxy version, by reversing the bassline and slamming the drums. I am so happy that you guys like it. I am playing it out and it’s moving the floor.”

Reboot: “Being asked to lay hands on one track of the last Monkey Safari album was a big pleasure for me, as I have been a fan of their work for a while. Even though it was rather challenging, as the original is a perfectly produced floorkiller. So I tried to bring the track into a more dirty direction with a long breakdown, but without leaving the original`s idea too much. I hope people enjoy the results.”

ROD: “Thanks to the great original parts, both my remixes flowed out of my system quite naturally. I was happy to do two complete different remixes. Where ‘Prologue' is more about peak-time techno-energy, with 'Sign' I tried to create a much more psychedelic underwater-ish vibe which I think worked out quite well with that soothing vocal."

Avidus: “For our remix of ‘Sign’ we took a very minimalistic approach. The vocal speaks for itself and in contrast to the original, we we were aiming for a less rave oriented version, for special moments at open airs...“

Hannes Bieger: “The studio work connected me with Monkey Safari now for quite a long time, as I have also mixed the Odyssey Album with the original tracks. I generally like their music a lot, as many of them are musically on my wavelength. During the mixing session for Ctrl X I used my Moog Modular just for fun and jammed something into the almost finished track which the boys apparently liked a lot. I rarely do that in the studio that I kind of cross a line and start to play to a client's project. I respect original projects a lot and usually don’t want to impose myself on anyone. But in this case, I just got so inspired - and the boys too.”

3. Muru

Coming up with their second Hive Audio-release after their label debut Beside You EP are Sous Sol, the Swiss-based duo which has been building up a reputation over the past years due to releases on Heinz Music, Neustadtmusic and others. Bringing on two original tracks and a remix by fellow producer on their new Taonga EP sees the production team upping their game for 2k18, weighing in more heavyweight beats for this summer season and beyond.

The title track Taonga is defo one for the heat of the night, amalgamating filtered tribal chants, multilayered organic percussions and a deep, fever'ish atmosphere with a distinct TechHouse groove and soft, ever floating pads alongside intricate, intertwined synth motifs for real late night connaisseurs on the dancefloor.

On a remix tip for Taonga is the man Manuel Moreno, turning Sous Sol's original vision upside down to present a techier, yet still deeper angle. Focusing on the tunes tribal drums and mysterious pads the remix version adds up loads of spatial pressure from a vintage synth low end, large scale production value and ever building tension whilst providing a surprising turnaround throughout the tunes' massive breakdown.

Finally Muru, the second original Sous Sol production on here, shifts gears tempowise whilst staying on a slightly Tribal-infused, atmospheric lane on which, once again, a naturalistic drum foundation meets twilight mystique, dreamlike patterns, delicate synth arrangements and a full-on dancefloor approach alongside mysterious male vocals, huge gnarly bass pulses and an overall feel of supernatural powers on the brink to what can surely be referred to as TechTrance musically.
