New Releases 2018/2019

Jazz-o-Tech welcomes back Berlin pair Flat Maze for a second EP on the label following their Dick Dunker EP in 2018. This time they combine scintillating jazz and electronic sounds on Gran Canaria, a five tracker which includes remixes from Arnaud Le Texier and Dinamite.

This pair is made up of Italian Stefano Mori on electronics and guitar, and Tel-Aviv born Uri Gincel on piano. The former is well known in Berlin having played live and DJed with various collectives, and the latter toured the world as an in demand piano player before immersing himself in electronic music and collaborating with the likes of Mathew Herbert. Together they find a perfect sweet spot between instrumental jazz solos and deep techno drums and always take you on an escapist trip.

The opening track emerged from the beach of Los Palomas in Gran Canaria, where the sun and the wind of the dunes inspired Stefano to create the rhythm and bass, while Uri added the melancholic, Latin jazz piano line. The result is a gorgeous track that washes over you like a warm breeze as dancing keys bring real dynamism. 'Petardo Boy' featuring Sebastian Studnitsky on trumpet is inspired by an eccentric and explosive character from Berlin. It started with a melancholic riff by Uri before Stefano developed an electronic composition as wild as the personality of Petardo Boy himself. The drifting trumpet up top is romantic and late night, the drums are deep and the mood intimate. Last of all, 'Golden Cat' features a scratchy electronic riff inspired by Uri's cat. It's a textured centre piece around which pulsing drums, snapping hits and haunting jazz keys all move freely.

Arnaud Le Texier steps up to remix 'Gran Canaria' and flip sit into a slick and quick techno workout with majestic melodies and tender chords, while Dinamite flips 'Petardo Boy' into a menacing, broken beat and glitchy techno weapon for darkened warehouses.

This EP once again perfectly embodies the mission of our unique label.

Modal Miles EP

Premiere |  Cesare Dell'Anna - Modal Miles (DN3 Remix)

The Berlin based duo Flat Maze embodies the essence of the concept of Techno-Jazz. 
Their mix between the instrumental solos of jazz piano talent Uri Gincel and the deep techno grooves of producer Stefano Mori, results in an innovative signature sound which perfectly fits the artistic manifesto of label Jazz-o-Tech.

The title track "Dick Dunker" is a smooth blend betweeen the inspiring jazz harmonizations and the  dance rhythms that create a perfect combination of sounds, addicted for radio programmings and dance clubs.
 Similarly "Room 111" and "Vollnarkose" are two powerful statements of Flat Maze vision where the harmonies and solos of Uri's piano fill the abstract spaces created by Stefano's synths and drum machines.

Flat Maze duo featured also in "White Gardenia vol 1", the first vinyl EP released by Jazz-o-Tech that has been supported by:  Rai Radio 3 (IT), Jet Set Tokyo (JP), Avopolis Music Network (GR), Studio Brussel (BS), 808 Radio (SP), Radio Krimi (FR).

Born in Tel-Aviv, jazz pianist Uri Gincel came to Berlin in 2009 and quickly became one of the most in demand piano players on the scene, Uri toured the world with many projects, including "Uri Gincel Trio” and “Bonaparte”. 
Only in the last couple of years Uri started working with electronic music, and has recorded and preformed with Bruno Pronsato and the electronic duo “Tyoma", combinating their art with important collaboration like Matthew Herbert.
Stefano Mori is an italian music producer, visual artist and live performer based in Berlin. With his solo project, Stefano also known as Elephant Kodex, release under the independent German Label Fucksklang record and play around Berlin with different dj collectives (Mechatronica, Drei Groschen Disko).
Jazz-o-Tech's is a new record label based between Berlin and Milan.
The label's signature style is an elegant combination of improvisation, acoustic “live” sounds and electronic music grooves mixed between jazz and techno music, promoting experimentation and eliminating  boundaries between two forms of avant-garde, electronic music and Jazz.

Having previously featured on Eskimo Recordings' 2018 compilation 'The Purple Collection’ as one half of Languages, Franz Matthews returns to the label alongside fellow Berliners Local Suicide with 'Meditation / Tutan Jamon', 2 tracks of heady disco that join the dots between the German capital and the sun soaked souks of North Africa.

Tutan Jamon premièred by https://soundcloud.com/magnetic-magazine -> https://www.magneticmag.com/2019/03/premiere-franz-matthews-local-suicide-tutan-jamon-eskimo-recordings/

Despite living on the same street for 4 years Franz Matthews and Brax Moody and Vamparela from Local Suicide only met recently through their common friend Sam Berdah (Days of Being Wild, Club Bizarre). Making up for lost time, the trio soon found themselves bonding in the studio, digging into their love of both the esoteric and travelling, and together channelled those passions into 2 spiritually infused numbers.
 
'Meditation'was the first result of this inspired partnership, appropriately recorded at the same time that Matthews was also recording music for a meditation app, and features a freeform stream of consciousness from Vamparela over a suitably hypnotic backing of wistful guitars and breezy rhythms. 'Tutan Jamon' meanwhile shares its DNA with recent Eskimo releases by the likes of Simple Symmetry and SHMLSS, the track built around a couple of very Egyptian influenced riffs and comes in two distinct versions.
 
Between his production studio MOWD, his duo Languages, and his solo electronic project, Franz Matthews keeps himself busy. Making Berlin his hometown for the past 5 years, the Franco-German producer and DJ has always kept one hand in the Indie Dance world, while the other wanders in more Psychedelic Pop realms, a winning combination that's seen him release music on imprints such as Eskimo Recordings, Days of Being Wild, Rockets & Ponies.
 
Local Suicide, aka DJs and producers Brax Moody and Vamparela, meanwhile have made a name for themselves putting on some of the most infamous underground parties Berlin has to offer, running their acclaimed blog and still finding time to make waves with their productions, a wild fusion of new wave, acid, slow techno and post-disco that has seen them work with the likes of Rodion, Mijo and Curses in recent years.

We here at Discobelle got the scoop on the exclusive premiere of track "Magia" taken from the upcoming @localsuicide And @cursesforever EP, which will be out tomorrow Friday March 22nd (500 hand stamped 12" vinyl only) via UK label @justtusk.

Tusk Wax 28 is a collaboration between NYC born, Berlin-based artist Curses and the otherworldly "techno-disco" Greek-German outfit Local Suicide. The pairing seems like a match made in heaven, especially seeing as both artists are known for exploring the darker side of dance music.

"Magia" kicks off the release and it's a steadfast and seductive piece of slo-mo disco with spaced out synths and eerie vocals that wouldn't be out of place in an 80's horror movie.

Local Suicide And Curses - Magia [Discobelle premiere]

After Micheal Klein’s stunning debut album ‘Snapshot’, it's only logical we celebrate the long player once again with four stellar remixes from a handful of Techno’s best.

Kicking things off is the one and only Dubfire who delivers a rework of ‘Dismantled Structure' unlike anything we’ve heard from him before as he channels the aesthetics of quintessential Dub stylings reminiscent of Deepchord and Echospace fused with a cutting edge, modern approach resulting in an absolute burner that will stand any test of time. Markus Suckut follows with his unique approach on ‘Dirty Daddy’ where heaviness reigns supreme as hefty percussion, hypnotic rhythms and swirling atmospherics culminate into a far flung journey into the vast expanse. Taking a slightly different approach yet never losing the energy, Developer dives further into ethereal spaces with his re-imagining of ‘Flashes In Your Eyes’ where he weaves psychedelic harmonies and mesmerizing grooves into a trance inducing roller perfect for intensely deeper moments. Finalizing the remix package we turn to +plattform, one of Norway’s best Techno artists, who delivers an absolutely gorgeous rendition of ‘So Far To Go’ where abrasive drums and washes of reverb lay the groundwork for a cut where emotion takes center stage creating a beautifully crafted tune that will in equal measure melt hearts and forge unforgettable memories.

PREMIERES

Premiere: Tom Hades - Dubhe [Korpus9]

Jazz-O-Tech Records introduces a new release series on the label by the name of Black Gardenia.
If the White Gardenia series combines mystic jazz music with deep tech electronic grooves, Black Gardenia’s intends to associate it with the roots of techno. The first output “Black Gardenia Vol. 1” is composed by Berlin-based duo BEAT MOVEMENT.

The duo presents an unusual, psychedelic and moving techno jazz EP in collaboration with techno pioneer Sunil Sharpe, Italian saxophonist and composer Gianni Mimmo and the jazz quartet Gamapawa.

Black Gardenia is a mesmerizing aesthetic sound experience, taking the listener on abstract journeys and into cinematic sceneries. The title track “Silent Rain” opens the A-side with a soft and emotional fusion of drones and saxophone, followed by the sovereign and psychedelic slow groove of the track “Aphex Twin shot my neck”. The B-side is a dancefloor killer combination between Sunil Sharpe’s intelligent techno remix of “Silent Rain” and Gamapawa’s featuring track “Untitled Reconstruction”, where drums and saxophone reach the speed of 150 bpm.

Black Gardenia will be distributed worldwide in 300 limited edition copies.
Mastered at LRS factory in Rome. Graphics by Eldi, edited by Gino Tremila.

Jazz-O-Tech, 2020.


Milan and Berlin label Jazz-o-Tech continues on its mission to imbue the most cutting edge electronic music with the freeform creative spirit of jazz with a new EP from Healing Force Project. The Italian offers up two terrific originals while stndrd and T Kode remix.

Since 2010, Healing Force Project has established himself as someone who explores the outer edges of techno with his own atypical, anarchic and spontaneous creations. Coming on labels like Acido, Firecracker, Bedouin and in album format on amenthia recordings, his music always layers up free-jazz melodies and drums into intoxicating sonic landscapes unlike any other. Because of that, he is a perfect fit for this label where technology and improvisation, innovation and tradition all come together to make exciting new forms.

Exquisite opener 'Parallel Universe' is a spacious affair with tumbling drums, loose hits and splashes of cymbals run through with distant toms. Everything is off grid and live sounding, with uneven chords played over the top to make for something beautifully unusual and thoughtfully cosmic. As the winding rhythms unfold and the drums grow more propulsive, so does the element of mystery and intrigue.  

Stepping up to remix is T Kode, who is known for his complex and powerful sounds in the booth and the studio and has released on the likes of Blackwater. He layers in a rugged bassline that moves things forwards with real purpose, but the off kilter keys, staccato effects, chords and sci-fi sounds keep things thoroughly avant-garde and unusual.

The second original, 'Temporal Pole', again suspends you in an astral plane but is a little darker and more paranoid. Noodling keys drift in and out, cymbals are gently feathered, wooden hits add movement and the whole ting is in constant movement, changing shape and leading you further down the rabbit hole.

Subsist and 91 Records associate stndrd then remixes and delivers his trademark powerful emotions in a rumbling deep techno version that gets you in a state of hypnosis and keeps you there with eerie key motifs and dancing drums.

This is a perfect fusion of two very different worlds into one fascinating and unconventional new sound.

Antares Mates - Movimento 2 (Chevel remix)

Avant-garde French trio Bada-Bada step up to Jazz-o-Tech with a standout new 8 track EP titled simply “II”
that finds fascinating new emotion where jazz and techno collide. It features six originals plus remixes by
Fabrizio Rat and Distant Echoes.
Bada-Bada consider themselves a Trans-Jazz band who create with a freeform musical discourse that is
heavily reliant on improvisation. They have a sound that is haunting and emotional, textural and diverse,
and that blurs the lines between the organic and the synthetic. Explosively mixing keys, synths, sax and
trumpet with very modern studio techniques they channel different influences from Steve Reich to Radio-
head to David Bowie, both in the studio and at their impressive live gigs.
Opener 'R4G3' is a blistering track with suspensory chords keeping you on edge while manic drum playing
hurries along. Add in the squealing synths and brass and you have a brilliantly intense workout. 'Venus' is a
more laid back track with more loose drums, and again exquisite horns sounds and a dense mix of synths
that are truly electrifying. 'Bada-Bada' strikes a more thoughtful and reflective note, with lingering chords
drifting off to the cosmos next to sombre sax, and 'Maria João' continues the reflective vibe with a quiet and
reflective piece of jazz sax with subtle piano accompaniments that builds to a big wall of intense sound, fizz-
ing synths and pounding drums. 'Shiva' takes you on a freeform trip to spine tingling heights with textured
synths and manic trumpets all speaking of real pain and loss and finally, 'TLLNN Part 2' washes over you
with mellifluous drum grooves, idyllic chords and a real sunset vibe that is powered by a tight rhythm sec-
tion.
Pianist and techno producer Fabrizio Rat fuses his classical piano with contemporary techno in fascinating
new ways on labels like this one as well as 24H Records. His remix of 'R8G3' is a powerful, stripped back
techno jazz roller with forceful kicks and plenty of atmosphere in the wandering sax sounds up top.
Dystopian label associate and Out-er co-owner Distant Echoes appeared on this label's vital THIS IS TECHNO
JAZZ. VOL 1 compilation and follows up with a superb remix here. It is awash with rueful chords and organic
pianos and has a perfectly airy dub techno groove that floats you through space.

1. Dawn Drops 07:19
2. Plastic Rain 09:45
3. Plastic Rain (PEG Remix) 07:01
4. Dawn Drops (Polygonia Remix) 07:07

This EP is a collaboration between finnish artists Aki Himanen (trumpet, electronics) and Aleksi Kinnunen (drums) with remixes from PEG and Polygonia, and again fuses both jazz and techno sensibilities to come up with superbly forward looking and sleek new sounds.

Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen are jazz musicians and techno producers who combine jazz's spontaneity and electronic music's dark soundscapes. Using generative techniques and interacting machines, they have been working together since 2019 and released debut album Scapes earlier in 2020. Now they are back with more of their cinematic sound and dystopian landscapes on this fine new EP.

Opener 'Dawn Drops 'is a lush piece that sweeps you off your feet with suspensory synths and floating trumpet lines rising out into a one sky. Rubbery drums roll below to keep you tethered to a grover and the whole thing is a luxuriant and soothing piece. The beautifully dark 'Plastic Rain' builds on live drums and pulsing bass, with sombre trumpets bringing a forlorn mood as hits and rim shots are scattered through the air.

A club-ready remix of this one comes from Spanish techno artist PEG, an associate of the Dynamic Reflection label who fuses techno, ambient, dark beats and techno old and new into his music. He flips the track into a much more driving and deep techno tune that is designed to get you into a state of hypnosis as it races late into the night on spooky synths and powerful kicks.

Last of all, Munich based artist and musician Lindsey Wang aka Polygonia steps up. She is a master of rhythm and composition and brings this to a haunting and serene techno track laced with ambient mysticism and subtle pads that melt your mind.

This is another high class coming together from the worlds of jazz and techno to form something utterly new and exciting.

Jazz-o-Tech is a label that draws on the rich heritage of two of the most visionary and experimental genes in music: jazz and techno. Taking inspiration from the freeform creative nature of those two musical worlds, artists on the label mix tradition with modernity, improvisation with experimentation, and create a new sound known as techno-jazz. Modern music needs to be ambitious. It must aim to deliver a musical message which is one step beyond what has already been heard. It must take you on a new musical journey into unknown dimensions and emotions. That is the Jazz-o-Tech mission.
