Sleep Talk (feat. Valentine)

WhoMadeWho is one of the best live-acts I've ever seen. As my buddy Dave and I share the same love for their track "Heads Above" we decided to do a remix of it. Enjoy!

Since its first outing in 2004, Matthew Dear’s AUDION
guise has predominantly acted as a darker, edgier
commentary to the pop-infused house concoctions to
be found under the producer’s birth name. A twisted
reflection of sorts, it contemplated electronic music
through the lens of grime-flecked techno and sinewy
funk - resulting in relentless floor-fillers like the aptly
named “Kisses”, “Just Fucking” or “Mouth To Mouth”.
Compared to the itchy momentum and carnal damp of
these freak classics, the sophisticated elegance of new
offering DEM HOWL is rather unexpected: chaperoned
by the emotionally charged timbre of TROELS
ABRAHAMSEN’s vocals - first introduced to Kompakt’s
vocabulary via Kölsch’s “All That Matters” -, this cut
steers away from the battle-scarred body music of yore
and towards the more introspective moments on the
dance floor - without sacrificing one iota of the
precisely engineered groove machinery that is Audion.
“This song was a product of the modern age we live in”,
says Matthew Dear about DEM HOWL’s genesis: ”I heard
a song with Troels singing on it and immediately fell in love
with his voice. I found him online and directly messaged
him about collaborating. He happily agreed and I sent him
the instrumental - he promptly came up with the lyrics and
melody and sent them back to me. A few days after that, I
had the song complete and ready to go. All in all, it took
about a week from the idea to a fully-fledged new piece of
music.” However, the straightforward production does not
keep the track from incubating his own mysteries - deeply
steeped in melancholia, it displays theurgic qualities and
seamlessly transitions from emotional to somatic urgency
without batting so much as an eyelash. Gripping remixes
come from Kompakt head MICHAEL MAYER and Dutch
maestro JORIS VOORN (digital only) who cater to the
enthusiasts of evocative bells and homeric synth pads -
beautiful mood pieces just as immersive and timeless as
the original.

Krankbrother return to their new label after opening up the imprint’s account earlier this year.  Two new tracks from the London party brothers then, showing off two differing shades of their musical dexterity.

‘When You’re Watching Me’ is a fully formed Summer belter, with Krankbrother ticking all the boxes required for a modern day, sunrise dance classic.

A thunderous sub-bass line booms over delicate drums, the percussion lightly soaked in reverb as the filters open and close on the soft & melodic arpeggiated riffs.  All the hallmarks of a classic piece of euphoric electronica are here, best exemplified by the syrupy female vox and Balearic tones, and a hefty breakdown that really ramps up the drama.  Shades of the 90’s big guns like Underworld and Fluke are here, but perhaps more in the grandiose style in which ‘When You’re Watching Me’ has been delivered, either way, it’s most certainly one of Krankbrother’s best to date.

Accompanying track, ‘Washed Up’ has its feet firmly in familiar Krankbrother territory.  A rolling, jackin’ house track packed with energy and vitality.  Chopped vocals are put through the FX mangle and the titanic drums power through in a simple, yet highly effective looping track, echoing the very best of Strictly Rhythm/Armand Van Helden joints from yesteryear.

Krankbrother’s ‘When You’re Watching Me’ is released on Krankbrother on 3rd August 2015 on digital download.

Mix Show Short Digest part1

For the debut release on my own new label IPSO with Kompakt Records, I wanted to try something different. The new label, IPSO is for me to invite a friend or a hero, - someone I admire musically to do a collaboration.
I’ve long been a fan of limiting myself in the studio. 
Sometimes working with less equipment brings out the best in you, so for the first release I figured it would be interesting to experiment with this. 
Inspired by the danish dogma films, I decided to make a rule. 
As I’m not one for overdoing things, the rule is very simple.
We are only allowed to use one instrument.
I reached out to my friend and all time hero Michael Mayer to do the first collab. 
Other than being co-founder of the mighty Kompakt records, and signing me in 2009, he is a genius in a dj Booth and a great producer. 
He has always been a great inspiration to me, so we agreed to start of my new Label with a bang. 
I set out the challenge, that Michael should choose the instrument. 
As I arrived in Cologne, Michael had chosen an old Yamaha Organ. Funny side note, is that it is actually Jörg Burgers organ. Jörg is actually quiet the legend himself, but that is another story. 
Michael and I spent 1 day in the studio, and we had a blast. 
The outcome is 2 great pieces of music that I'm very proud to share with you. RELEASE DIGITAL & VINYL - MAY 20
