CC Premieres: Graumann - This Dance [Ir/Venir]

Duro Label is pleased to announce the release of the eleventh installment in the 'Muy Duro' series. 'Muy Duro Vol 11' showcases a carefully curated selection of tracks produced by Apollon Telefax, Anastasia Zems, Tierra de Ovnis, A-Tweed X Oltrefuturo, and Visionnaire.

The compilation kicks off strongly with "Uma Batida Do Barulho Dos Passos Do Gato" by Russian producer Apollon Telefax. This playful, hypnotic, and powerful cut takes listeners on a nocturnal and psychedelic journey, where arpeggios dance while bass and drums keep everyone bouncing to the rhythm of the night's energy. We continue with "Space Alarm" by Anastasia Zems, a genuine sedative and mind-bending banger that leaves the audience eager for more.

From Mexico, Tierra de Ovnis presents "Mística," a molten, rhythmic, and fun piece. The rhythmic section keeps us in orbit while the melody transports us through mysterious and distant passages. A-Tweed makes his return to Duro Label, this time accompanied by Oltrefuturo with "Panthera," a lysergic and percussive track. Voices wrap around the audience like luminous trails, while drums and bass keep the momentum.

The compilation culminates with "Parigi Vienna" by Visionnaire, a fresh and resonant cut hailing from Italy. With electrifying bass, relaxing pads, hypnotic arpeggios, and sensual vocals, Visionnaire masterfully concludes 'Muy Duro Vol 11.'

'Muy Duro Vol 11' will be available for listening and purchase starting January 19, 2024.

PREMIERE : Apollon Telefax - Uma Batida Do Barulho Dos Passos Do Gato

A deep dive into the subconscious, Acid Memories drifts between dream and distortion — where lush downtempo textures collide with hazy synth lines and hypnotic rhythms.

Built on slow-burning grooves, warm analog pulses, and a touch of acid-tinged nostalgia, the track paints an atmosphere that’s both meditative and haunting. It feels like wandering through blurred recollections — half-remembered nights, fleeting moments, and emotions suspended in time.

This is not just a track — it’s a sonic memory, dissolving into echoes and shadows, leaving you suspended in its afterglow.

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.

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!

FUR COAT- YOU AND I (CLIMBERS WITH RESPECT AND ADMIRATION REMIX)

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!

BIO: 
	
	Every artist has a signature. Mihai Popoviciu is no exception. For over a decade the amiable Romanian producer and DJ has built a body of work characterised by deep grooves, crisp precision, and irresistible energy.
	Mihai's singular vision was born in his home town Sibiu (still his home base) which, at the time, lay on the fringes of Europe's thriving dance scene. It was the early '90s. Electronic music was flooding London, Ibiza, Berlin but only a trickle reached his ears. "We would tape German TV shows onto cassette and listen over and over," he recalls.
	With no clubs, record shops or dance culture to speak of Mihai's dream of being an electronic artist seemed remote. He studied architecture and briefly worked in the field, but it was house and techno, not house-building, that was his true calling . "I couldn't DJ, because there were no clubs," he says with a chuckle. But he could buy software, so he started making records. Lots of records. Sometimes one per day, for months on end. The work of the determined young artist began to catch people's ears. His first track was signed to International Deejay Gigolo in 2005, and dozens of releases followed on imprints including Bondage, Highgrade, Poker Flat, Bedrock, Dessous and also his own label Cyclic, established in 2012.
	This calm determination became Mihai's trademark as his career blossomed from production to DJing. After honing is skills in the studio he learned to DJ (on borrowed decks) and began drawing attention in Romania and across Europe. Playing international gigs was a big move for someone who grew up only seeing clubs on TV but Mihai stepped up with professional aplomb. His CV now includes the best clubs in Europe and around the world, from Berghain and Watergate in Berlin; to London's Fabric and The Egg; to D-Edge, São Paulo; DC-10, Ibiza; and more.
	Mihai's ambition with every track and every DJ set, is to transmit the joy and energy that fuels his dream. "It feels great to see people dancing, smiling, having a good time. No matter what I do, that's the main thing." 
	He is equally at home in underground clubs or on festival stages. The one thing that stays the same is his artistry and irresistible delight in music. "Mihai was on his sound from the beginning," says friend and booking agent Benny Grauer. "It has a unique quality. Any time you hear it you know, "That's Mihai". He's done it for years, and it is perfect."
