Artist: Alexander Kowalski
Title: Reference EP
Catalog Number: MOCD033
Label: made of CONCRETE
Release Date: 27.05.2022

RELEASE INFO:
Alexander Kowalski is back on 'made of Concrete'! On his new EP, he refers the ambiance and smoked-out sounds of Dub techno on all four tracks, revealing his deep and quieter producer-self. 

The ‘Reference’ EP doesn’t try to reinvent something good. Instead, it evolves and expands on its theme and chosen genre. It carries Kowalski’s musical energy like water: from the introductory ‘Reference’ with its classic dub delays and ambient sounds, to the unhurried ‘Trawl JD’. The blows and strings of technoid ‘Deep Dive 990’ add drama and dancefloor tension - until it all washes ashore with sound on the beatless finale ‘Drifting Waves’. With this release, Kowalski once again shows his solid skills and the needlessness of proving anything to anyone.

We are super excited to be running our 2022 radio series in partnership with the lovely people at 1020 Radio to showcase talent from members of the WPG community on the airwaves. 💫

We will be broadcasting this series every second Sunday this year, 17:00 UK time . 📡

Each month will be with a different host, with a range of interviews, show concepts and genres in the pipeline. 🎧

Our August host is Valeria, sharing tracks she's been playing out recently. "This time since clubs re-opened has been absolutely nuts and I’m soaking in every second of it. It’s so good to be back!"

⭐️ More about the host ⭐️

Valeria is an Italian/German DJ and producer based in Heidelberg, Germany. Described by many as subtly flashy, Valeria always seems to find the right balance of poise and nuance in her high energy sets. Valeria is a resident at one of the most distinctly-different-dance-bars Germany has to offer: Hunter Thompson Saloon in Saarbrücken. While regularly hosting floors at both Silodom and Sektor Heimat, Hunter’s groovy residents release music via their “Hunter Thompson” label.

Growing up in an Italian house in Germany, Valeria’s taste is heavily inspired by the Italian music that was always being played in her childhood home. In her later teenage years, she became fascinated with Psychedelic Rock, Synth Wave, and, of course, Indie Rock. Her diverse input of music from throughout her life, has taken form in a clearly distinguishable style of electronic music. Her vast library allows her to play with a great deal of range, while always bringing that signature subtly flashy flavor!

Valeria has been an active DJ since 2019 and has already played support to artists such as DJ Boring, Ruff Stuff, and Johannes Albert.

Her releases range from Acid-House, all the way to IDM. She has released with labels such as Silodom, Hunter Thompson, and Laber Nicht Records.

Her contagious energy and love of underground culture/music has allowed her to grace some of Germany’s most iconic booths such as; Galerie Kurzweil, Hafen49, Disco Zwei, Karlstorbahnhof, and Sektor Heimat.

Over the years, Lee Holman and I have become great friends. He released many times on my labels Knotweed Records and Decision Making Theory. So did I on his projects One Off and Demarcation. Lee is an amazing DJ and we played (and partied) many times together in Berlin, both at Suicide Club and at Tresor (last time in 2019 for an incredible Knotweed night into the vault with Myk Derill and Giordano).

Together with Myk Derill, Gonzalo MD and Mode_1, he is part of Knotweed's DNA: under the radar passionate artists delivering Real Techno!

This year Lee has had a string of incredible releases on Knotweed 047, Nechto 020 and Snork 112, and I have so many of his releases at home (Snork 112 landing in Chamonix yesterday!), I though it was time I record a podcast with only his vinyl releases.

After a bit of digging, I came out with about 20 pieces of wax he produced that I mixed on the fly, dating from 2010 to today.

A hardware aficionado, you immediately recognise Lee's style, from his intricate drum patterns (soft to heavy kicks, in-your-face claps, rolling hi-hats etc) to martian bleeps,  super spatial synth and powerful baselines, always hypnotic, always driving.

I hope you will enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed recording it this afternoon. An 80 minutes-long mix, and he produced so many good tracks, I could have gone much longer!

Make no mistakes, Lee is here to stay!

Have a great Xmas and a fantastic 2023!

Best regards from Chamonix, Philippe
