HEAD MASTERS TWR72’S SEQUEL RELEASE ON FLOAT RECORDS IS CALLED 'DEFORM'.

Their journey to examine the perfect groove continues with these two straight forward tracks. The original Deform infiltrates onto the lower parts of the groove where the spacious tom bass challenges the main percussion bass. As a result, an uncommon groove appears, which gets stimulated by an suddenly appearing unusual sound continuing throughout the track.

The linear version is even more stripped down to the essence of the grooves purpose. The obvious title refers to the broken down and straight forward character, however without losing the focus of the original.

Early support by Ben Sims, Ø [Phase], Unbalance, DVS1, Mark Broom, Developer, Truncate, Tripeo/Darko Esser, Samuli Kemppi, Raiz, Anthony Parasole, Roman Poncet, A001, Hyperactive, Modeselektor, Markus Suckut, Rivet, Alex Bau, Hector Oaks, Bambounou, Ekserd, Pfirter, Petter B, Locomatica, Lance Blaise, Dj Shiva, Jimmy Edgar, J. Tijn, Ambivalent, Cleric, Matthias Zimmermann, Kr!z and more...

TWR72 - Deform EP (Preview) [FLOAT002]

During these days where lo-fi analogue house productions seems to be the it thing, its time to dig out a release by one of the true pioneers of house music. Not an outsider but one of the names thats been around forever and thats known for several timeless house classics. Almost 20 years after its original release date we are happy to share this forgotten and overlooked gem by Roy Davis Jr. - Roy's Chicago Basement Traxx.
Originally released as 4 track ep on Kumba Records, but we thought it was appropriate to shine some light on our three favorites, Chemical Warfare, Jack Da Rhythms and Broken Machines. Three dirty, raw, jacking and most of all intense tracks, that are among the best things that came out of Chicago. Jerking rhythms, hypnotic synths and live arrangements stripped to the bare essential! Endless respect to Roy Davis Jr. for being such a versatile and inspirational producer.

Oh and this one is not changing hands for big money (which we see so often as sales argument). Untill recently it actually always used to be pretty cheap on Discogs ;-)

expected to be out october 2014.

Secluded | Remember
[SOMA414]

1. Remember
2. Forces Of Nature
3. Remember (Woo York Remix)

Secluded bounds back onto Soma with another double whammy of solid big room Techno smashers. The Glasgow based producer aka Hans Bouffmyhre is really hitting home with the new alias and finding solid ground on Soma. Ukrainian duo Woo York bring their talents on the flip for a essential remix.

Remember heads things up with thunderous percussion and wave after wave of typical driving, pulsating synths from Secluded. Easily found on the biggest of dance floors with plenty of jack.

Forces Of Nature gives a more rave element to the EP. Slowly progressing saw waves seep through an evolving pad as subtle rides sit atop that perfect 909 clap and punishing low end giving the perfect Techno Tool.

Woo York round off the EP with the funked up version of Remember. The duo don't mess around and get things going straight away using fast paced drums and a more muted, dubbed synth to great effect.

Another solid package from the young Glaswegian showing why he's one of Techno's rising stars

Woo York | Siberian Night (Inc Edit Select Remix) 
[SOMA418]

1. Siberian Night
2. Iron Curtain 
3. Siberian Night (Edit Select Remix)

Ukrainian duo Woo York blast back to Soma with yet more hypnotic, analogue based Techno with the Siberian Night EP. The duo are on fire right now after a string of releases on their new home label of Soma and this ep is backed up with a remix from the Glasgow based Edit Select who bringing his own, unique stylings.

Siberian Night gets going in true Woo York fashion as a looped out, growling acid bass line has things moving a full pace from the get go. Vangelis-esq pads sear through the heart of this monster giving a retro feel while Woo York really work the percussive end of things to keep this tool kicking.

The broken beat Iron Curtain moves things in a lighter direction as a subtle synth line breathes soul into the big, bouncing low end. 909 drums get rings moving as subtle flicks in the filter bring the synth line to life opening slowly into the break before going back into head down - fist pumping action. 

Edit Select turns up on Soma once again for remix duties and does another fantastic job of title track Siberian Night. Working on the principle of less is more, Tony keeps things minimalistic in his approach but manages to firmly stamp his authority on the track. A rolled out, hypnotic baseline leads the way as ethereal pads slowly work their way in through the spine of the remix.

Powerful techno once again from Woo York as they continue to devastate with their raw, analogue sound!

Slam | Reverse Proceed Interpretations 1
Planetary Assault Systems & Flug Remixes 
[SOMA419D]

1. Factory Music [Planetary Assault Systems Remix]
2. Factory Music [Flug Remix]

In the first in a series of special EPs form Soma, UK Techno pioneer Luke Slater, under his Planetary Assault Systems guise, joins rising star Flug to provide their own interpretations of tracks taken from Slam’s amazing new LP, Reverse Proceed. 

P.A.S drops his interpretation first and his unique, twisted, techno vision shines through almost immediately and thunderous drums belay a cacophony of intense, siren like synths as Luke deafens with intent with his rhythmic prowess. After this unrelenting synth workout, things get more heads down as subtle hi hats keep things on the upturn. Luke delivers a seriously monster remix, typifying the P.A.S sound

Argentinean born, Barcelona based Flug definitely hold his own as he comes crashing in with his very own monster remix of Factory Music. Using the original tracks twisted sequence, he easily makes it his own. Adding his explosive drum patterns all building towards one almighty drop allowing him to rebuild the tension that he does to great effect.

Soma brings two levels of experience to this first Interpretation package and both deliver with frenzied results.
