Preview discography

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.

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.

BIO (traduction française ci-dessous) :

After 4 years of existence, RED REC continues its exploration path towards ​fewer​ known soundscapes, as an echo that resonates after the recent international project RED GEORGIA that focused on the Georgian techno scene.
It’s with the same taste for adventure that RED REC does not wish to specialize on a current ​genre ​ and impose its codes on the artists, but rather let each of the « resilient souls » express themselves to present the best from the spectrum of electronic music in its diversity and complexity.


FRUITS OF THE RESILIENCE is the result of spontaneous encounters, a long bond, curiosity and experiments​. Passion is distilled, and the brutal force is tempered to keep the essentials. An indomitable spiritual and positive resistance in the image of what our current world must redraw. Resilience. 

Each living being does its best to go forward. Giving up isn’t an option. Striving to avoid death leads to miracles. What we may consider broken, can in fact be mended and given a second life. As humans, we’re not an exception to the rule.

Like broken objects that still worked after being mended. Everybody has suffered in the past. Many people ail ​while you’re reading ​these words. But pain is part of life. We have to get through this because it’s ​inescapable​ and it makes us involved. With time and faith, our weaknesses become our strengths. Our stigmata becomes our glory.

We are fruits of resilience made of our own failures and successes. That is what defines each of us. We are who we are and take it as a gift.


[VERSION FRANÇAISE]

Après 4 ans d'existence, RED REC continue son chemin d'exploration vers des paysages sonores moins connus, comme un écho qui résonne après le récent projet international RED GEORGIA qui s'est concentré sur la scène techno géorgienne.
C'est avec le même goût de l'aventure que RED REC préfère ne pas se spécialiser dans un genre particulier ni imposer ses codes aux artistes, mais plutôt laisser s'exprimer chaque " âme résiliente " pour présenter le meilleur du spectre de la musique électronique dans sa diversité et sa complexité.


FRUITS OF THE RESILIENCE est le résultat de rencontres spontanées, d'un lien prolongé, de curiosité et d'expériences. La passion est distillée, et la force brutale est tempérée pour garder l'essentiel. Une résistance spirituelle et positive indomptable, à l'image de ce que notre monde actuel doit redessiner. La résilience. 

Chaque être vivant fait de son mieux pour aller de l'avant. Renoncer n'est pas une option. S'efforcer d'éviter la mort conduit à des miracles. Ce que nous pouvons considérer comme brisé, peut en fait être réparé et recevoir une seconde vie. En tant qu'êtres humains, nous ne faisons pas exception à la règle.

Comme les objets cassés qui fonctionnent encore après avoir été réparés. Tout le monde a souffert dans le passé. Beaucoup de gens souffrent pendant que vous lisez ces mots. Mais la douleur fait partie de la vie. Nous devons la surmonter parce qu'elle est inéluctable et qu'elle nous pousse à nous sentir concernés. Avec le temps et la foi, nos faiblesses deviennent nos forces. Nos stigmates deviennent notre gloire.

Nous sommes les fruits d'une résilience faite de nos propres échecs et succès. C'est ce qui définit chacun de nous. Nous sommes ce que nous sommes et nous le prenons comme un cadeau.

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.

We have seen Cyd lately quite active and with a great versatility to face each release differently from the rest of his works. Just a few days ago he released an album on Subsist Records with 12 tracks that were oriented to an electronica with different influences from other genres like IDM, acid, industrial, downtempo or abstract, and now he presents a new EP with 4 techno tracks.

Cyd is one of the owners together with Clefomat and Matt Fack of Solemne Records, a label based in Poland and UK with a quite open style, although they usually work mainly with techno. Precisely this platform is the one in charge of publishing Distorted Pretensions, EP released on vinyl with 3 original tracks and a version of Clefomat, one of their partners in this project. This release is designed specifically for the dancefloor, robust and solid techno.

Release date: February 22th, 2021.

Premiere: Cyd - Legacy Pulse [Solemne Records]

Playlist:
	
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.
