Maceo Plex - Vibe Your Love

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release.php?idxRelease=3795

Three years after his last full-length album on Delsin, tireless techno producer Mike Dehnert is back with another one to be released on March 17th 2014. The 104th release on Delsin, entitled Lichtbedingt, counts 12 tracks and is yet another subtle evolution away from the chord driven, functional sound he has championed before now.

Since his last album, Dehnert has continued to steer his Fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. At the heart of the label’s output has been Dehnert’s own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producer’s continued exploration of the form.  Where Framework was, in the words of Mike himself, “focussed on the heavy techno form”, this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. 
“I love to release music. I still enjoy the album writing process very much,” says Mike, before adding, “I have noticed that sometimes the success of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called Lichtbedingt, meaning ‘depends on light!’”

The album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths. They set an uneasy and moody tone before ‘Construction’ settles into a fat, swaggering.  From there you get lost in broken, ruptured, malfunctioning bits of hardware that spit out random hi hats, bleeps and gurgles and then eventually get spat out the other side into a cantering bit of dubwise techno with paranoid vocal snippets. 

Moving along, the album throws plenty of diverse influences into the mix: ‘Movement’ is freaky and dynamic, skipping and pumping, ducking and diving through all sorts of occult synth sounds and shadowy vocal loops then ‘Single Action’ is like a sledge hammer groove run through with harmonic elements that glint and glisten like diamonds in the rough. Classic sounding Dehnert tracks like ‘ReRe’ remind us where this producer has come from, whilst the breezy house swagger of ‘Emlo’ show us where he might be headed. 

Key to this album and Dehnert’s output as a whole is, besides the killer grooves, the production: crisp and clean, full blooded and always outstanding, it makes his tracks leap out of the speakers and into minds, bodies and souls without relying on the usual tropes or same old cheap tricks.

By taking an overview of what labels “Gorge” has already released on, including Diynamic, Systematic, Gruuv and just recently Hot Since 82's Knee Deep in Sound imprint and even the labels he’s hosted himself, gives you a great impression of the league of artist we talking about here. 
Ludwigshafen-based Gorge aka Pit Waldmann, classically trained in the piano as well as the drums, co-runner of the legendary imprint 8bit Records alongside Nick Curly and founder of the highly successful - Re:Fresh Your Mind label, and now making his debut EP on Still Hot. 

The title track "Alaris" stands out in the tradition of Gorge's uncompromising quality of music and will definitely stick in your ears. It features a dreamy arpeggiator lead sound worked in with its consistent flowing and deep encouraging vibe, which is implemented so well.

The B-side is titled 'Depth Of Silence' is perfectly appropriate and also contradictory at the same time. The track hypnotically makes you lose yourself in the depth and weight of Gorge's unique production sound. However whilst it’s hypnotic and emotive, it’s still a very driving and highly danceable choice of sounds. The silence shall be broken immediately when listening to both amazing tracks. 

We're very pleased to welcome back our man - Benny Grauer - with another remix. Benny never takes his remix duties for granted but rather translates the track diligently, persuasively to a darker and slightly more staggering interpretation of "Depth Of Silence". 

Look out for more bangers to come from our new Still Hot family member – Gorge - who keeps building his great reputation as a DJ as well as a producer around the globe.

Fachwerk boss and dubby techno don Mike Dehnert steps away from his usual home for a new EP on Delsin entitled ‘Umgangston’. It’s not his first time on the label following last year’s Fachwerk album, but it does see him cast his sonic net a little further afield.

‘Andruck’ swings back and forth on a squelchy synth hook as tin foil hi hats cut up long thin pads. Knocking bell sounds add plenty of silvery colours to the dubby bass below, and it’s one of the more serene and beautiful Dehnert cuts of recent times.

‘Tracer’ is much sterner, with huge Basic Channel dub waves breaking beneath scratchy synths and acid bleeps. Fizzing and fine grain like warm white noise, it’s for those more intense dancefloor moments.

‘Refillable’ finds Mike in full on rave mode with filters twisting and turning and skewing synths into weird patterns as hi hat ringlets race between sandy claps and a tortured vocal yelps out every so often. Rushy and racy, it’s underpinned with a walloping kick drum where closer ‘Umgangston’ is about knife-edge intensity, cantering kick drums and wild, freeform synth lines.

Seemingly a touch untethered from his usual basement dub techno aesthetic, Mike Dehnert might surprise you with this one.
