The inaugural release from the new Love International X Test Pressing imprint comes from Fantastic Man, the Berlin based Australian whose music has been played by everyone from Aphex Twin to Bicep to Gerd Janson and many more.
  
Love International make good times happen in far flung places, whilst Test Pressing make good times happen physically and in the digital sphere, a meeting of like minds and shared tastes, all bases covered here.  Together this collaboration has been releasing compilation album from the likes of Gatto Fritto, Beautiful Swimmers and Shanti Celeste, and this new label project unites recording artists and designers in a meeting of music and art.

On the ‘Cloud Management’ release, Fantastic Man teams up with Alexander Papoli-Barawati, a German/Filipino/Iranian graphic designer and art director living in Berlin.  The striking and playful graphic design is in tandem with the music, which runs from the beautiful piano–led Balearic sounds of ‘Cloud Manager’ to the floating breaks in ‘Lounge Wizard’, the warped chug tempo in ‘Psychic Monthly’ and the beautiful acid bubbles of release finale, ‘Time Apprentice’.

When the great mystic Meister Eckhart went out from Gotha into the world to investigate the states of the souls of the clergy, the faithful and mankind in general, he soon ended up in the desert regions. A flash of lightning quickly passed through him, one of insight: the desert is us, it is within us. It is the place of total contemplation, a fortress of solitude. The real desert, whether Gobi, Sahara or Atacama, on the other hand, is populated: by animals, small and large, crawling and flying; by plants, prickly, green, brown or in permanent sleep; by billions of micro and macro organisms. PAWEL, your insights are like those of the mystic: THE DESERT IS ALIVE!  

PAWEL'S BAR is the alias of Leipzig based Marvin Uhde aka QNETE. While as the latter he’s known for sophisticated house and shows a preference for breakbeats, Pawel's Bar is much more reserved and subtle. Its dub and downbeat structures that build the foundation on »Pawel’s Desert Trip«. Instead of faceing the dancefloor head-on, tracks like the shimmering WELWITSCHIA, the mellow MANY BIRDS or the nature-dubby PHARAOHS work excellently as companions for any life situation. Rather soundtracks of withdrawal than mere ecstatic escapism. Big feelings. Meanwhile, on RECYCLE, REFRESH and BEACH NIGHTS you can hear why QNETE is such a sought-after DJ and producer (X-Kalay, Shtum or 777): a deep knowledge of what a party might need, although nobody expects it - as Pawel's Bar he can prove this knowledge as well, even if he tries to disguise it.  With this, he also follows the rumor that has been around for a few years about the Kame House Records: This is where great producers come to think outside the box and deliver their unexpectedly best records.

PREMIERE : Pawel’s Bar - Refresh, Recycle

Release date: Mid May 2022

Danny Wolfers is one of electronic music’s inevitable forces. He has put out an elaborate body of work that merges Chicago and Detroit jams, afro funk and RPG and arthouse cinema OST's - co-shaping the The Hague sound in the process. Fueled by a non-stop work ethic, he has released through a multitude of aliases, of which "Legowelt" is presumably his best known and most steadily used one.

On “Inner Voices of a Clown” Wolfers revives his Polarius moniker after a near 20 year hiatus with five raw and rugged, lo-fi electro tracks. The Commodore Amiga 1200, a staple in the artist’s studio since his beginnings in the nineties, forms the center piece of gear, rendering the EP a distilled and hermetic endeavor. As the tape permeated drums unequivocally throb forward, the acid gets grittier and sweatier, driving the bare bone leads to the verge of derailment. Wolfers, perceived to often prefer melody over rhythm, this time resolutely opts for the pulse and pattern - letting the cuts run freely, modulating them on the fly, guided by intuition. Justifiably the artist note that came along with the premasters read: “made with as little brain effort as possible”.

The EP is a return in style for one of Wolfers’ most lauded yet obscure projects - an indispensable selection of club tools, ready to do the job on any dance floor, be it in the big room or the sparsely lit bunker.

Pluto is the moniker of British born producer Rolo McGinty, a name you might not be familiar with. In the early 1990s Rolo was responsible for some of the most forward thinking and exciting records to be released on labels such as Mr. C’s Plink Plonk, Irdial, Octopus and ITP. His albums ‘Rising’ and ‘Demolition Plates’ are unsung examples of some of the finest House and Techno and speak to the creativity and originality of the producer. For WRECKS035, Klasse Wrecks are very proud to present a repress of two of Pluto’s most sought after tracks’. Originally released in 1994 on Rare Grooves (a sub label of USA Import Records) the EP Pluto’s Retreat compromised of two versions of ‘Anna’ both of which are presented here remastered for modern times. ‘Anna’ and ‘Anna Two’ are great examples of House music of the highest quality; brash, groovy and unrelenting both tracks are destined for dancefloor destruction worldwide. Also included in the package is a previously unreleased version of ‘Point Blank’, the original of which appeared on the ‘Demolition Plates’ album in 1997.

Basic Moves welcomes Chicago-born artist Dana Kuehr onto its roster this October with Basic Moves 18, comprised of six original compositions to make up her debut release dubbed the WTRTMPL 2x12’’ EP.

Originally hailing from the south of Chicago before venturing further afield to New York, Oakland and eventually Belgium’s Brussels, Dana Kuehr has been gradually forming her own unique vision of electronic music over the years. As a DJ, Kuehr’s sets on Brussels’ Kiosk Radio traverse through everything from jungle to hip hop, IDM, ambient, House, Techno and much more. Here though, Dana marks the beginning of a new chapter with her debut release coming via the Basic Moves imprint, helmed by producer and DJ, Walrus, out of the Belgian capital. BM18, known internally as the WTRTMPL 2x12’’ project, is Dana's homage to a beautiful lake of pure, clear water. Dan Piu (Moto Music, Cartulis, Childhood Intelligence) delivered warm and punchy mixdown work from his Zurich studio for the release.

Opening the release is ‘How Do We Continue’, a hazy journey through ethereal synth pads, throbbing bass, crisp percussion, and bubbling arpeggios before ‘Almagest Slide’ shifts focus over to bumpy breaks and dreamy atmospherics alongside intricately processed samples and gritty bass stabs. ‘Cloud B’ follows next and edges back into deeper realms courtesy of woozy, haunting pad lines, robust drums, and subtly nuanced delays throughout.

‘Great Lakes Empty Branches’ then kicks off the C-Side of the double pack, embracing an electro leaning aesthetic courtesy of crunchy claps, sturdy drums, a chuggy arpeggio bass hook and dynamic, resonant leads though. ‘Realm 8’ follows, exploring some jungle and hip hop influence with heavy doses of sub bass, choppy broken rhythms, and hazy Moog like synth melodies. ‘BECAUSE’ rounds out the release next with euphoric vocals and textural atmospherics gliding above swinging percussion and mesmeric, circling synth lines to complete the package.
