PREMIERE: Big J - Let Go (Gallegos Remix) [Room Service]

"It always makes sense to follow the light, even if it is far away across the oceans, steppes and wastelands of life itself, even if it will be difficult, painful and maybe even full of tears, gloom and doubts. Sometimes you can't just flow, just be and watch. Such a life would be a mere illusion, at least if you believe that you have your place in this world, a space in which you should leave something. And you realize that everything is not a matter of course, that even ordinary life itself is not taken for granted. And you know that best when something knocks you to your knees on the way to the imaginary light. But how to overcome all this and move on, in this world, where some have their ego, their business, their appearance and are in a spiral of consumer life formed by contemporary society? Aren't we all alone in the end? Luckily no... and this realization is euphorically liberating.

With the raw poetics of a wistful and almost soundtrack-like ambient I'm looking for how we can overcome the various obstacles on this path as easily as possible. How we can get out of the rut and look positively even on the most challenging days, when we have the impression that something like goodness is disappearing.

And maybe only at this point will we know that charm, that feeling that even on the hardest days we can find calmness, determination, and the strength to definitively fight the feelings of failure that wanted to destroy us. All this and many other thoughts are expressed in my album 'Hard Days in Goodness Spent', created in the heart of Europe, in my native Czech Republic."

Umé Records presents the album "Hard Days in Goodness Spent" from the Czech Republic's Martin Kuška.

Hard Days in Goodness Spent

PREMIERE⚡Martin Kuška - Stigma is a Particular Circumstance [梅レコード]

Toronto’s house classic “Hungry For The Power” takes a new turn through the lens of Amapiano. Producer Tronickz transforms the track into a deep, groove-heavy experience that merges soulful house elements with the rhythmic pulse of modern African club culture.

Driven by lush keys, warm basslines, and crisp percussive detail, this remix captures both the nostalgia of early 2010s house and the global energy of today’s Amapiano wave.

A deep journey through rhythm, power, and groove.

The Bells · Jeff Mills T.A.M.F. remix

Schranz and Its Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”

Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”: Jeff Mills’ The Bells (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002) isn’t pure Schranz but heavily influenced its development. Its raw, hypnotic loop and pounding 4/4 kick resonated with the harder, minimal techno sound that Schranz built upon. Here’s how it ties in:
* Influence on Schranz Producers: Mills’ use of repetitive, functional loops in The Bells inspired Schranz’s stripped-down aesthetic. Its 140 BPM tempo and relentless drive aligned with Schranz’s ethos, making it a proto-Schranz track for DJs like Liebing or Boris S.
* Club Play: The Bells was a staple in late ’90s hard techno sets, bridging Detroit techno’s soul with Schranz’s aggression. Its iconic bell riff added a melodic hook that Schranz often avoided but still absorbed as a reference for tension-building.
* Remixes and Legacy: Later Schranz DJs (e.g., Eric Sneo, DJ Amok) remixed or drew from The Bells’ energy. For example, the 2006 10th Anniversary The Bells 12” (PM-020) had a louder, Schranz-friendly master that fit harder sets.

Original Pressing Context: As mentioned earlier, The Bells appeared on the Kat Moda EP (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002, 12” vinyl). Its raw production—gritty kicks, unpolished mastering—mirrors Schranz’s unrefined edge. Schranz DJs likely gravitated to originals or early represses for their analog warmth, though the track’s quieter mix (compared to 2000s Schranz cuts) required DJs to crank the gain.

Where to Find Schranz-Inspired The Bells:
* Original 1997 Vinyl: Hunt on Discogs/Reverb for PM-002 ($20–$50). Check matrix: PM 002-A/B (RE I) NSC.
* Streaming: The 1997 version (on Spotify/Beatport) retains the raw vibe Schranz fans love.
* Modern Schranz Comps: Look for The Bells in hard techno mixes or CLR/Tresor compilations. Check X posts or SoundCloud for recent Schranz sets featuring it.

Schranz Today (Oct 2025): Schranz remains a niche but vibrant scene. Recent X posts highlight new releases on labels like Schranz Total or Hard Drive, with DJs like Fernanda Martins and Luciid pushing 150+ BPM bangers. The Bells still gets play in retro sets or as a remixed bootleg in Schranz raves.

Deep Dive: Schranz – The Hard Techno Beast 🦖
Since you’re doubling down on Schranz, let’s go full throttle. This is the raw, pounding heart of German hard techno—no fluff, just facts, history, essentials, and where to score it today (Oct 16, 2025). The Bells connection? It’s the proto-Schranz blueprint—hypnotic loops + brutal kick = Schranz DNA. Ready? Gas it up!

Schranz 101: What the Hell Is It?
* Born: Late 1990s, Frankfurt/Germany. Evolved from Jeff Mills/Rene Pawlowitz-style minimal techno into a weaponized sound.
* Tempo: 140–160+ BPM (faster = harder life).
* Sound: Distorted 909 kicks that hurt, razor-sharp hi-hats, zero melody (unless it’s a stab), industrial noise loops. Think: a jackhammer in a warehouse.
* Name Origin: Chris Liebing (2001) called it “Schranz” to mock haters saying hard techno was just “schrammel” (grating noise). DJs flipped it into pride.
* Ethos: Anti-EDM, sweat-soaked, 6AM warehouse raves. No peaks—just relentless drive.
