NR05 A1 Love Over Entropy - 9576

Seven years down the line and Tamed Musiq is proud to present its first-ever album release: "Upstream Colour“ by Iron Curtis. This long overdue follow-up to "Soft Wide Waist Band“ represents a milestone for the Berlin-based producer and easily ranks as his most accomplished work to date. Similar to an impressionist painter, Iron Curtis portrays a well-known subject (House Music) in a dream-like setting by employing a palette of ethereal sounds, subdued melodies and bass-heavy beats. “Upstream Colour” is a beautiful musical experience that never strays too far from the dancefloor yet requires multiple listens in order to unlock all of its mysteries.

Johannes Paluka has enjoyed a prolific career since he has started using the Iron Curtis moniker back in 2009. His releases on Mirau, Hudd Traxx, Retreat or Uncanny Valley have been highly praised and have certainly contributed to the resurgence of deep house in the last decade. His music as part of prolific duos Achterbahn d'Amour with Jürgen Albert, Moon with Johannes Albert and Smpl with Leaves has also been widely celebrated. But as Johannes was going through a difficult period in his life at the beginning of 2016, the events in turn sparked a flurry of inspiration which resulted in the core of "Upstream Colour“. The producer has then spent the last two years working on different projects while continuously fine-tuning his second album and making it his most personal creation up to now.

"Upstream Colour“ is a stunning journey in twelve parts where ambient pieces effortlessly slide into club-ready tracks, thanks to a very distinct range of sounds. There's an unmistakable dream-like quality to the music as subtle tones, elusive melodies and background noises give the impression of looking at familiar elements through a veil. "Boorang“, "Werc Werc Werc“ or “Holding Back” can definitely light up the dancefloor but they also evoke a certain distance from it and are keen to drift into an otherworldly realm, somewhat reminiscent of the cinema of David Lynch.

But even at it's most peculiar, there's an undeniable warmth that radiates from "Upstream Colour" which is best illustrated in its calmer moments such as "Ease Pt. 1 and 2“, "Bethanien“ or the closer "Mt. Gordon“ where ripples of white noise seem to wash away the 'classic' house sounds of yesterday. And then there are the cathartic pieces such as the title track or the gorgeous “Lucent”: beginning in the now familiar fog-like signature, these tracks brilliantly evolve to let in beams of emotion tingled with melancholy. “Lucent” in particular is prone to illuminate even the darkest dancefloor with its majestic strings and heartwarming synths.

“Upstream Colour” is a mesmerizing album that follows the listener long after it has reached its end, akin to a dream that lingers on well beyond the moment of waking up. It is also a testimony to Iron Curtis' boundless talent as a musician whose abilities extend far beyond the genre of House Music.

[LABEL TEXT]

PBR Streetgang return to their home imprint KURTZ to deliver their latest EP ‘Sendeturm’, accompanied by a remix from Paranoid London’s Johnny Aux. 

Long-standing members of the house and disco landscape with releases via the likes of Skint, Crosstown Rebels and Futureboogie amongst many, Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe, aka PBR Streetgang, continue to evolve and impress as one of the most consistent and diverse duos on the scene. Holding down residencies at the likes of Pikes in Ibiza, whilst making stand-out appearances at the likes of Glastonbury, Printworks and Love International – a festival which holds a special place within this latest EP – the duo launched their vinyl-focused KURTZ imprint in 2019 in impressive style, gaining support from the likes of DJ Harvey, Bicep, Soul Clap, and the late great Andrew Weatherall. Following a brief hiatus, the duo now return to home turf with possibly the strongest release on the label to date as they unveil their ‘Senderturm’ EP, welcoming Paranoid London member and electro-favourite Johnny Aux on remix duties. 

Opening cut ‘Zoot Module’ welcomes a moody, low-slung slab of electro with haunting riffs and eerie synth lines which hold your sonic gaze front and centre, whilst title production ‘Sendeturm’, named after the lookout tower above the Love International site, takes listeners on a dreamy beat-less ride through melancholic tones and showcases an ode to a summer lost in place of beauty. 

On the flip, Johnny Aux’s interpretation of ‘Zoot Module’ welcomes his signature rough and raw dirtbox sound which buries its way under your skin to reveal a pacey, true body mover, before closing proceedings via the blissful and rich ‘Thru The Shutters’ – a production imagined as the final track in the early hours of a Sunday morning dancefloor and a hypnotic closer that shapes up proceedings in emphatic fashion.

Remix time is good time. And good time is better time. Johannes dropping his latest remixes via the queen of medium, vinyl that is…. Benjamin Fröhlich’s “Tivoli” gets a positive, summerish 4/4 disco re-treatment. A slight DJ edit of Kayroy’s “Identification Unknown” features the beautiful voice of Miela to brighten up your day. Melbourne we salute you! On the flip Jay tweaks Rydim into a frenzy acid smash. “Fomo” files under emotional dance floor roller coaster. You know that rhythm is all we have right? Leon Revol’s sparkling “Acid is rolling” gets all bodies moving through a non-stop-bass-driven remix. Kudos all labels involved: Permanent Vacation, Pets & Get Physical. Quick white label action housed in a red jacket. Just the way we used to do it.

12" comes with additional smiley sticker!
