Berlin based Felix Reichelt comes into the fold and follows up releases on Volume Berlin, Clepsydra, Chlore and Phuture Wax Records with 2 brooding cuts that slot neatly into the Kuukou catalogue.

'Midnight Echo' fires things up with some immaculate sound design and an immediately infectious groove. Each and every sound is deftly carved into it's own pocket and each drum artfully plotted to generate a raw, kinetic energy; a hypnotic sense of motion that works to ferry the listener into a sweet spot between rushing and dreaming. 

'Funkturm' follows up with a clinic in atmospherics. Micro FX are carefully crafted, each given a life all of their own and beautifully melded together into a vibrant collage that circles the plug hole without ever fulling sinking. The result is a deeply effective DJ tool for energy levels up and dance floors dialled in.

The track "Octa" by Pierre (Bob) Stephan is a stunning piece of modern electronic music, blending intricate soundscapes with progressive and dynamic elements. Known for his innovative approach to merging crypto-inspired art with electronic sounds, Pierre delivers an auditory experience that is both captivating and meticulously crafted.

Structure and Arrangement
Intro: "Octa" begins with an atmospheric introduction, characterized by ambient synthesizer pads and subtle percussive elements. This initial section gently draws the listener in, creating anticipation without revealing the track's full intensity.
Build-Up: The energy gradually increases, with rhythmic hi-hats and layered percussion elements setting a steady and engaging pace. The build-up is deliberate and precise, creating a sense of momentum.
Drop: A powerful drop introduces a deep, driving bassline that takes center stage, complemented by sharp and hypnotic synth lines. This moment transforms the track into a dynamic and pulsating experience.
Breakdown: A more introspective breakdown follows, scaling back the intensity and introducing delicate melodies with reverb-drenched textures. This creates a moment of emotional depth and contrast.
Outro: The track concludes with a controlled deconstruction, where elements gradually fade, leaving behind a lingering sense of atmosphere and closure.
Sound Design
Pierre Stephan’s "Octa" showcases a masterful blend of sound design elements:

Bassline: The bassline is deep and resonant, forming the foundation of the track and driving its energy.
Synthesizers: Melodic elements are lush and detailed, featuring evolving synth textures that create a futuristic and immersive atmosphere.
Percussion: The percussion is crisp and dynamic, with well-placed kicks, claps, and hi-hats that enhance the groove without overpowering the melodic elements.
Effects: Transition effects such as delays, reverbs, and subtle filters are expertly applied to maintain a seamless flow and immersive feel.
Emotional Impact
"Octa" captures a unique emotional balance between energetic progression and reflective undertones. Its combination of driving rhythms and introspective melodies evokes a feeling of exploration and connection, appealing to both dancefloor enthusiasts and contemplative listeners.

Genre and Style
The track falls within the Deep Progressive Techno genre, enriched with influences from Minimal Techno and Progressive House. Pierre Stephan’s signature style integrates modern electronic trends with a distinctive artistic touch, resulting in a track that feels both innovative and timeless.

Technical Excellence
From a production standpoint, "Octa" demonstrates a high level of technical skill. Each sound is finely balanced, ensuring clarity across the frequency spectrum. The mixdown is clean and spacious, allowing every element to shine without cluttering the composition. Advanced tools and creative techniques are evident in the polished sound and seamless transitions.

Conclusion
"Octa" is a masterclass in progressive electronic music, combining technical brilliance with artistic vision. Pierre (Bob) Stephan’s attention to detail and ability to evoke emotion through sound make this track a standout example of his talent and creativity.

From My Mind to Yours

Close

Clubbing was in its infancy when Berlin-born Monika Kruse began her first residency at the Babalu bar in Munich, where she grew up. Classically trained in piano from the age of four, Monika has always had a love of music and her early sets spanned hip hop, funk, soul and early deep and vocal house. This new breed of electronic music seized Monika’s soul and imagination. Dance music was in its infancy and since there were few clubs where you could play techno she threw her own parties in illegal venues ranging from World War II bunkers to trams to empty houses. Fortunately the police were a little behind the musical curve… “I had some funny experiences,” she recalls, “But nice ones! They stopped us once in a tram because they thought the smoke machine was a fire!” On another occasion, they came and asked her to turn down the bass so the house they were playing in wouldn’t crumble. “Luckily, they didn’t have a clue about techno!” 
	
Monika Kruse's star is shining brighter than ever with a global fan-base hungry for her irresistible beats. In 2014 her club appearances included Space Ibiza with Carl Cox, Amnesia Ibiza with Marco Carola, We Love... at Space Ibiza, Sankeys Ibiza, Egg London and regular sets for her residency at Berghain Berlin.

She dazzled the festivals, too, playing events such as Time Warp, Melt Festival, 18 Hour Festival, Eastern Electrics UK, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and South America, Sonus Croatia, Awakenings ADE, and SEMF Stuttgart. She also hosted a stage at Amsterdam's Edit Festival, showcasing some of her favourite artists such as Pig & Dan, Nick Curly and Miss Kittin.
Classically trained in piano, Monika's love of music is broad and deep. She grew up buying records, accumulating a music collection that grew to span funk, soul, hip hop, and house music. When the revolutionary rhythms coming out of Chicago and Detroit captured her imagination it led her to throw parties in illegal venues including World War II bunkers, trams and empty houses.

Electronic music culture has evolved rapidly since those early days but Monika's talent and passion is constant. “My ethos is ‘sweat with a smile,’” she says. “I give love to my audience and they give it back. LOVE – it’s the best thing in the world. My aim is to help people forget whatever is going on in their life and have a little holiday – just get lost in my music.”
Monika is also an active producer. Her Terminal M label celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2015 and she chalked up hits this year with Pig & Dan collaboration 'Soulstice', a Beatport Top 10 techno anthem. The fantastic remix package of 'Summer Drops' was also a Beatport chart favourite, featuring Monika's track reworked by Nicole Moudaber, Uner, and Mendo. With just two releases Monika was one of Beatport's Top 100 techno artists for 2014. Look out for the special re-release of the album Monika Kruse @ Voodooamt 'Passengers' in celebration of Terminal M's 15th birthday.

Monika’s passion for spreading the love extends beyond the dancefloor, too. In 2000 she founded a charity called No Historical Backspin to fight racism and homophobia. “It’s sad and ridiculous that people still get beat up, or in some countries even killed, for being gay. Or get treated badly because of their skin colour, or gender, or because they’re a refugee” she says. “But it happens. Sharing and caring is the only way to make the world a safe place for everyone. It is important for DJs to show they respect everyone.” She is currently organising a No Historical Backspin party at Berghain. Funds raised will go to Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, which supports victims of hate-crimes and campaigns against right-wing extremism.
Her charity work, like her DJing and production, is an expression of Monika’s faith in the transforming power of music. “It was my first love,” she says. “Music was my best friend. It never let me down. In good times music was there and in bad times music was there.”
