Ellum Sampler Vol. 2

Bound and Broken

ADMX-71 feat. Janina Schuetz - Bound & Broken (Maetrik Remix)

Adana Twins return to Diynamic with a thunderous 4-track EP titled „1983“, an homage to the sound of the first year Benjamin and Friso spent on Earth. 
It starts off with „Clocks“, an eerie Dark Wave, almost Post Punk-ish track that features the vocals of fellow Hamburg act Kraków Loves Adana and sets you right into the 80s.
Title track „1983“ touches back on the EBM sound of the era, with energetic sequenced basslines and a retro synths and sounds, giving you an authentic feel of that time. 
Track 3 is titled „Neonlicht“ and is the second feature with Kraków Loves Adana - a slow and hypnotic groove, complete with 808 drums and orchestra hits. 
And closing off the record is „Mauro Picasso“, a feature with Phunkadelica that ushers in the Italo Disco era. Robotic vocals and dreamy synths transport you right to the beach clubs of Rimini.
All in all an incredibly versatile record that demonstrates the talents of the Adana Twins at its best.

You might know @barntofmagazine as one of the people behind the idiosyncratic imprints Magazine and Schalen, through which he released his most of his EPs and the incomparable 2014 debut album, 'Magazine 13.'; or maybe you know the thread of beautiful, unpredictable club hits he’s woven with labels like Cómeme and Hinge Finger.

Despite living in Cologne, and being friends with the label, Barnt has not put out anything on @kompakt yet, apart from an one-off appearance on 'Pop Ambient 11' over a decade ago. An EP had been in the air for several years, but it took Barnt a bit of time to get into the right state of mind, because he wanted to make sure the music paid tribute to “the ceremonial, emotional, grand sprit” that he connects with Kompakt.

Typical to the producer’s modus operandi, 'ProMetal Fan Decor Only Product' spins out a surprising narrative, catching the listener unawares, while remaining fundamentally Barnt. 

The hypnotic psychedelic reels of 'This Is For Decor Only' are Barnt gone trance, a sensual glide of a track that pirouettes out an eternity of sizzling hi-hats and strip light melodies.

We’ve not seen a double A-Side from two artists on our beloved SPEICHER series in some time so we figured it was high time for the return. And what timing as warm weather has finally embraced us which means its time for a full dose of floor filled power for the festivals of 2022.

The duo that are Extrawelt should be no strangers to your ears…since we last heard from them in 2019 when they took over SPEICHER 110, they’ve released with Feel My Bicep, Further Electronix, Watergate, Dream Awake, Traum and of course Cocoon. “Stabilo” is raw and powerful, a synthesis of their analog prowess with a beat that is just unstoppable.

Say hello to 1979 as comes onboard with his debut with SPEICHER. Famously known for the HOSH collaboration “Midnight” (Ministry Of Sound) and fresh off a remix for SPEICHER alumni Anfisa Letyago, we happily feed you a summer bomb to nourish your peak time palate. A provocatively raw bass drum and dirty synth keep “Vulcano” in an eternal eruptive state.

Take every breath as an event.

Renowned German artist Jonathan Kaspar will make an eagerly-awaited return to Kompakt next month via his Umfang EP, with the four-track offering acting as his first full-length solo release on the label since March 2021. “My third Kompakt EP feels particularly special as it is the first time I’m releasing on my home label with dancefloors being open again. The result is four different tracks producing four different vibes, each of which transport my pandemic desires into today’s world.” - Jonathan Kaspar.

The title track leads the way, taking the form of a retro-leaning cut that features whirring synth stabs throughout. Kupfer comes next, a track packed full of emotive chords and a delicate underlying bassline, before Am Raster leads us to the dancefloor and beyond courtesy of minimal-laced kick patterns. Gemach, Gemach Herr Rabe ends proceedings on an incandescent note, as symphonic keys combine with intermittent crow samples to form a slice of wholesome, nature-inspired musical bliss.

Hailing from Bonn, Germany, Jonathan Kaspar is an integral part of the scene in Cologne. He is a resident at the city’s renowned Gewölbe club and also one of the current main figures at the legendary Kompakt label. His discography boasts releases on some of contemporary dance music’s most esteemed labels, including Innervisions, Cocoon Recordings and Crosstown Rebels to name a few, whilst performances at Watergate (Berlin), NDSM (Amsterdam) and Extrema Festival (Hasselt) have brought his sound to global audiences. The Umfang EP proves exactly why he has become one of Germany’s most exciting prospects in recent times and with a highlight year ahead, the future certainly shines bright for Jonathan.

Ellum Audio mainstay Raxon is back with two more of his cosmic techno wonders.

Raxon hails from Egypt, is Barcelona based and has risen through the ranks with a well crafted and emotive techno sound on labels like Diynamic, Kompakt, Cocoon and more. Last summer he played huge parties like Resistance Ibiza at Privilege as well as festivals like DGTL. Though he has made big moves in recent years, Raxon has been deeply involved in the scene for more than two decades.

Characterful opener 'Loop Machine' is a dark and playful tune with loopy vocals layered over a rolling drum beat. The pixelated synths spray about the mix and the whole thing is destined to make the club bounce as one.

The excellent 'Love Lapse' has a retro feel with its 80s synth chords and widescreen astral atmospheres. A busy bassline does plenty of work to keep things moving, while turbulent blasts of synths and prickly percussion add vital texture to this late night jam.

These are two more forward-looking and evocative tracks from the ever on-point Raxon.
