Patrick Kunkel makes his debut on Sincopat with a release of Techno in capitals. The German talent presents three slices of the best European Techno in form of a clever and strong release, including also a delicate and convincing remix from San Francisco man, but Berliner now, Clint Stewart.
Evolution is a peak-time Techno track for the emotional raver. It offers a powerful opening to present the whole essence of the pack. Patrick goes straight to the rough rhythm in a masterpiece track where there’s no time to breathe. Clint Stewart introduces a different vision of this Evolution getting the perfect balance between deep and techno. The American guy renders a mature sound ordering the layers of the original track in a smart and special way.
Expedite is the second track but also a winner. Bass is the main and successful actor here with also heavy doses of a techy groove. The different treatment of voices is another hook of this bomb where music speaks louder than words.
Open Circuit provides a raw energy in a constantly crescendo. The track's sections are joined by subtle 303 modulation making it as captivating as it is unpredictable. This one will make it for all the 4x4 lovers. Patrick re-visited the track forgetting the beat and creating a solid twist of an electronic music piece.

Incama (Pancake Drum Edit)

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

Despite taking its name from a rather ludicrous imagined instrument, its been apparent from day dot that Lobster Theremin very much mean business. Since starting in the latter half of 2013 with Palms Trax's instantly beloved 'Equation' EP, Jimmy Asquith's label has churned out wax at a rate of knots. Whilst each release occupies its own stylistic niche, a 'Lobster Theremin sound' has gradually crystalised over time - with the label now recognised for its dusty interpolations of classic Midwestern American House and Techno.

Their latest release continues down this path, with Asquith once again unearthing a gem of an artist in the shape of London based newcomer, Ozel AB. His four track 'Crimes' EP starts with 'Sidestep To Your Left', a smokey cut that sultrily emerges from the mid-winter gloom. The press materials liken it to a, 'forum weirdo's reinterpretation of Moodymann's 'J.A.N' - which isn't far off the mark at all, given its ever so slightly off kilter Motor City throb. There's a slight distance about everything here too - from the detached insouciance of the sampled vocal, to the insistent yet softly lashing chords. With the EP's other three tracks continuing down the opaque trail blazed by the likes of Actress and his Werkdiscs cohorts, 'Crimes' is a collection that's deep, dark and imperfectly formed.

Patrick´s sound can be described as straight ahead techno, but also taking in influences from house music. He presents tech-house music, partly monotone, but always under the aspect of being groovy. He combines the elements of a lot of different styles in order to show it as a whole.
 
In 1999 he founded the event and artist agency Global Tunes and organized various big events with internationally well-known artist. In March 2002 Patrick quit his job in this agency in order to focus on his own studio projects.
In 2003 he met Harold Todd from the Lenny Kravitz band and, following his passion to house music, they set up the project Sexy Pie. In 2004 they released their first single. In the same year he started to work for the Frankfurt based label Cocoon Recordings, where he is responsible for the digital distribution.
 
In 2006 his first EP gets released including a remix by Oliver Koletzki. A lot of other releases followed – cooperations with and remixes from artists like Guy Gerber, DJ Sneak, Boris Brejcha, Mendo, Alex Flatner, Broombeck and studio partner M.in speak for oneself.
 
In 2010 he produced the Ibiza-Spotlight-Podcast for Cocoon Recordings, which represented the sound of the label of this summer. Later that year he was also responsible for the Bonus Mix for the „Sound Of The Eleventh Season“ by Sven Väth.

2011 has been a highly productive year: Patrick´s remix for Extrawelt´s Titelheld hit the third place of the Beatport techno charts. He also mixed the retrospective Mix-CD of „11 Years Cocoon Recordings“. In the same year he finally set up his own label Insist Music.

Patrick´s own music and remixes can be found on countless esteemed label like Cocoon  Recordings, Suara, Kling Klong, Leena, Form Music, Octopus, BluFin and keinemusik amongst others. His remixes are highly appreciated by colleagues and so it is no wonder that artists like Extrawelt, Boys Noize and Lützenkirchen rely on his works.
