Cologne’s electronic music community keeps on giving, drawing on a dense plethora of fresh talent ready to shake up our little big grassroots industry. The latest ace up the city’s sleeve must be Tim Engelhardt, part of a new breed of incredibly versatile young producers that get their cues from all sorts of genres and listening situations, combining profound musical knowledge with intuitive playfulness and multiple perspectives on sound. In Tim’s case, we’re dealing with a solid pianist background - which becomes rather obvious in the great care he takes over harmonies and an expanded melodic structure. However, that’s just one side of the story, as the organic fluidity and atmospheric dexterity of his music most certainly hark back to an upbringing among the rolling hills and sprawling forests of Germany’s Westerwald - one of the country’s best known mountain ranges that has already inspired artists such as Dominik Eulberg or Gabriel Ananda. 

Having released your first recordings at the tender age of 14 – as Tim did in 2012 - might put you in a “wunderkind” category – a flattering, but ultimately risky proposition, finding many a prodigy overwhelmed with the dubious honour. Not so much our hero, who chose to put his skills to work: in only four years, he grew his portfolio with plenty outings on labels such as Traum Schallplatten, WIR, Babiczstyle, Amuse Gueule, Ostwind Records, Popart Music, Playmusic Productions, Parquet Recordings, Manual Music and more – but his breakthrough release was hands-down the 2015 EP “Everything Is All You Have” on Steve Bug’s iconic Poker Flat imprint, followed by “Enigmatism” on the same label. Something definitely clicked, as Poker Flat Recordings now proudly presents Tim’s debut album “Moments Of Truth”, the first full-length survey of his sonic savvy and a terrifc listening experience to boot, which will find its connoisseurs in both the club and at home.
 
Exuding a considerable maturity from the very first second, "Moments Of Truth" opens with the title cut, which shows Tim giving its slowly undulating melody ample room to breathe until a bass drum gently joins the proceedings. An evident master at manipulating the momentum, he carefully nurtures the album’s flow with the follow-up cuts “Solitude”, an expert exercise in atmospheric grooves, and the sparkling “The Myths Of You”, whose exquisite melancholy and virtuoso synth laments will give you goosebumps. A heartwarming detour into electronic balladry, “Eyes Closed” features stunning vocals by Forrest – it’s here that the deeply lyrical core of Tim’s music is laid bare, revealing him as an utterly accomplished songwriter with a nearly unholy knack for emotional impact. Meanwhile, “When The Distance Disappears”, “Kissing Your Eyes” and “Beyond Time” shake a leg with spirited chords and crisp percussion, followed by mellow belter “Azimute” and the wonderfully nostalgic “I Am Here”. Closing ambient track “Endless” wraps up the journey by diving into a starry night sky: it’s yet more evidence for Tim’s prowess in all things heartfelt and electronic, with or without a straight bass drum.

The third time is definitely a charm. Dokutoku three is here headed up by DoubtingThomas who delivers a two track EP with seriously smooth jazz inspired atmospheres. The release is topped off by a raw grooving remix of ‘Tandem’ by fellow Frenchman Alexkid.

B1 Thought Crime (Wareika Remix)
B2 Since 1984

We’re extremely proud to deliver the latest release from co-founder Red Pig Flower, The ‘Thought Crime’ EP, backed with a remix from Perlon trio Wareika. The project is conceptually based around George Orwell’s classic novel, 1984.

The original mix of 'Thought Crime' opens the package with murky atmospheric textures, skippy hat patterns and shuffled organic drums grooves driving the composition before the focal stages see the introduction of eerie piano chords, spoken word vocal samples and acid tinged bass which ebbs and flows within the depths. 'No Fear’ follows next, laying focus on a bumpy drum groove, modulating synth swells, ethereal tension building pads and a snaking sub bass groove to create a dynamically unfolding, hypnotic cut.

Perlon’s Wareika step up to rework 'Thought Crime' opens the flip-side, as always from this trio shining light on chuggy bass grooves and jazz tinged ever-unfolding drums whilst stirring in the original’s eerie voices and choppy pianos to create a frenzied, dynamic feel throughout. 'Since 1984’ next to round out the release, an interlude of sorts featuring a bubbling arpeggio, dreamy piano melodies and an amalgamation of swirling, dubbed out echoes spiralling amongst muted kicks.

Let`s lift the veil on the forthcoming MixCult Records` digital releases and move to the near future. This time Kirill Matveev made up a compilation «Letters from Tomorrow», presenting tracks from EPs and albums, which are going to be released this year. The album includes 10 compositions, some of the authors are already well known to us with their previous works.

Soaring pace of the extensional sound. Reflection of the echoes of the penetrating impulse. Tremulous whisper of the electronic consciousness.

quintessentials 33: v.a. - thank you freaks (part 2)
feat. paskal & urban absolutes, andy hart, ben sun and toby tobias

12" out mid march 2013
digital out early april 2013

We just love those lil compilations here at Quintessentials, you know that. With the second part of “Thank you freaks”, we slow down the BPMs. And invite some freaks from around the globe to present their essential tracks. Like quality german duo Paskal & Urban Absolutes (again on Quintessentials!), Melbourne’s finest Andy Hart (Melbourne Deepcast), the ever hot Ben Sun (with his current release on Delusions of Grandeur) and legend Toby Tobias. We say thank you freaks!

quintessentials 33: v.a. - andy hart - tokyo lights

I K K Ä est dance. I K K Ä est rythme, I K K Ä est vie. La vie est la vie, le rythme est le rythme. I K K Ä est une idée utopique, entité universelle aux deux visages, obscure fréquence de résonance spiroïdale en équilibre entre haine et amour. Tel un satellite gravitant à l'ombre de la face cachée de la Lune, il collectionne des ondes extraites de cerveaux endormis d'habitants de la planète Terre afin de retransmettre celles-ci en une mythologie psychosonique d'un autre espace-temps. Une trance vibrante, propulsée par ses dimensions caverneuses, immerge les esprits et l'espace, traverse le temps en une narration de percussions archaïques. Les corps s'enflamment. Entrez dans ce vaisseau et laissez paisiblement vos sens voyager au travers des saisons. Enfin vos visages scintillent de multiples facettes. 
Mort aux édulcorants! Longue vie aux tambours de village!

Mr. James Barth – Hold Still (Original Mix)
