Hailed as Cologne’s best kept secret, Tim Engelhardt is certainly stepping fully into the ring with this latest release for Poker Flat Recordings. 

This third outing on Steve Bug’s seminal label sees the man in inspired form.

The opener 'Thinking of You' is a more brooding number, slowly building via tense bass pulses, super tight percussion and sly chord progressions, before unveiling a killer melodic element midway through.

'Azimute' showcases Tim’s fine touch for dynamics within the context of the dancefloor. The track subtly shifts and mutates, using reverbs and delays to create a sense of space and grandeur - a classy, shimmering opener.

'Your Words Keep Me Safe' finds its groove immediately, tough and funky tech that exhibits some of Tim’s signature touches - a sense of drama and emotion that is missing from most electronic releases.

The fourth and final track - 'Energy Transfer' - builds from a beatless synth sequence, evolving and mutating into new and beautiful formations throughout the track. Once the beat drops you realise this will be a secret weapon for many adventurous DJs in the coming months.

Title: Aviation

Catalogue No: SVT197
Release: 2017-07-28

1. Dolores
2. Lumen
3. Next Life

German producer collective Township Rebellion sign a string-heavy three tracker of deeply blissful tech house collectively titled Aviation.

Dolores kicks in with an immense groove, setting up a grandiose backdrop from the get go. Scintillating synths and spacious arrangements send the track into euphoric heights, while the punchy bassline triggers instant movement.

Lumen bears a melancholic loveliness, revealing a rumbling bass and soft, airy pads. What intensifies the mood, however, is a haunting chord progression paired with a fittingly ghostly vocal, giving the track a new dimension.

Next Life consists of a back and forth dynamic piece, making use of the 1993 classic spoken word vocal-poem “Get Up”. Its upbeat and looming style adds a sense of impending doom, amping the track’s dance appeal.

Steve Bug & Langenberg: NGC 6240 

The second single from Steve Bug & Langenberg’s new project together serves up another reminder why both producers are held in such high regard.

Steve Bug's unwavering dedication to house music had brought forward yet another winning combination on his own Poker Flat Recordings label, this time with Langenberg - himself a key part of the deep house vanguard in Europe.

'NGC 6240' is one of the harder edged tracks from the album 'Paradise Sold' - a techy, urgent work out with rising arpeggiated leads and sense of impending euphoria.

Long time collaborator Tim Englehardt drops by to deliver a signature remix - taking the track in a deeper direction and opening up the arrangement to a trippy, tightly wound groove.

The techno veteran Vince Watson also shares his vision for the track in another remix presented here - adding assistant claps and percussions and stretching out the drama over eight and half minutes.

Tim Engelhardt & BOg - ALMA 

Poker Flat go right for the jugular again with this blazing collaborative EP from the duo Tim Engelhardt (@timengelhardt) & BOg (@bogmusicoff).

Engelhardt in one of the hottest talents around, forging a hugely prolific carrier already from his home base in Cologne, Germany. Just recently Tim released his debut album 'Moments of Truth' on Poker Flat followed by a remix EP.

Teaming up with the hugely talented Bogdan Tanase (BOg) from Romania, the boys put together a strong musical statement.

'Synchronicity' sets out the stall - driving, powerful tech house with a sense of class and restraint. The energy is teased through-out the track, pulling from the tight rhythm and expressing itself with dramatic, moody synths - interwoven into a slick whole.

'Alma' also showcases the pair’s ears for dynamics - each element in the track perfectly crafted and mixed - the result is an emotional dancefloor experience that’s more than the sum of its parts.

Turning up the heat, 'Astronauts' kicks of with a thumping groove that builds and mutates across the track - resulting in a driving, powerful weapon for a multiple of situations.

Similarly, 'Celsius' fits right into this release - yet another cut of driven, melodic tech balancing primal rhythmic energy with expressive melody.

Mathame’s highly-anticipated ‘Nothing Around Us’ arrives on Afterlife Recordings this September 7th.
The richly talented duo Mathame featured on the second Realm Of Consciousness compilation and have since been regulars in the sets of Tale Of Us with some sought-after, unreleased tracks. Their distinctive treatment of vocals marks their tracks out instantly, nowhere more so than on ‘Nothing Around Us’, with the cyber voice of the young Italian artist Lyke. The top quality production and original sound continue with the more understated ‘22’ and end with another prime example of Mathame’s vocal work, ‘Fade Into You’. This EP is a bold statement that crystallises the well-deserved excitement around Mathame.

FF003 | Tigerskin | Silver Sun EP | Out 03.09.2018

1 - Bordeaux (Restored by Stefan Janson)
2 - Silver Sun (Restored by Stefan Janson)
3 - Neontrance (Restored by Stefan Janson)
4 - Suzuki Rider (Restored by Stefan Janson)
5 - Wanted (Restored by Stefan Janson)

For our third offering we’ve chosen four Tigerskin classics for you plus one unreleased tune from Alex Krüger’s Archives. 

‘Bordeaux’, from 2008, is a dark and lush space hymn that set the tone for many of Tigerskin’s productions in the years to come. It features acoustic kicks and percussion, sequenced synth toms, subtle pitch changes and has lots of atmosphere which, back then, you‘d rather expected in Drum & Bass. 

‘Silver Sun’, unreleased til today, was taken from the same 2005 recordings session as ‚Neontrance‘. A minimal groove and a ton of bass marry a big room full of breathing acid synths and reverbs while little artefacts fly around like mosquitos.  

‘Neontrance’ is one of Alex‘s widely known ‚acid techno‘ pieces. Rhythmically changing synth-patterns are built around a proper booming Tr-808 until that hi pitched synth line comes in... Simple. Effective. This one’s still killing dance floors all over the world since it‘s 2006 release on Dirt Crew Recordings.

The last two, ‘Suzuki Rider’ and ‘Wanted’ have been originally recorded and released in 2008, also with Dirt Crew, as part of th ‘Peter’s Secret Weapon Ep’ and since we and many others out there always loved both for their beauty and elegance we won‘t want to keep the fresh versions from you any longer.

All five tunes have been beautifully restored again from their original parts by Stefan Janson.

What makes everybody's darling duo ​Monkey Safari so special is surely their authenticity; with their striking debut album ‘Odyssey’​, this meant producing the same kind of tracks they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. The result was a dance floor artwork. And while they may be perfectionists, they’re certainly no purists, carefully handpicking remixers they see as most capable of continuing their vision for the album.

Split in 3 separate EPs, ​‘Odyssey Remixed – One’​, ​‘Two’​, and ​‘Three’ will be released in ​May​, ​June​, and ​July 2018​, featuring reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, ​Carl Cox​, international stars ​Hernan Cattaneo​, Guy J​, ​Musumeci​, Tensnake ​and Reboot​, studio geniuses ​Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, ​and Phil Moffa​, as well as up-and-coming talent ​Avidus​, ​Trivmph​, and​ ​Hommage label co-chief ​Karl Friedrich​.

Hernan Cattaneo & Audio Junkies: ​”As big fans of MS, we regularly feature their tracks in our dj sets so it was really cool to get the offer for a remix where we could add our sounds and identity to an already great original.”

Reboot: ​“​Being asked to lay hands on one track of the last Monkey Safari album was a big pleasure for me, as I have been a fan of their work for a while. Even though it was rather challenging, as the original is a perfectly produced floorkiller. So I tried to bring the track into a more dirty direction with a long breakdown, but without leaving the original`s idea too much. I hope people enjoy the results.”

Tensnake:​ ​“I had a blast remixing ‘Odyssey’. The vocals inspired me to remix it with a bit of 90’s industrial vibe.”

ROD​: ​“Thanks to the great original parts, both my remixes flowed out of my system quite naturally. i was happy to do 2 complete different remixes. where ‘prologue' is more about peak-time techno-energy, with 'sign' i tried to create a much more psychedelic underwater-ish vibe which i think worked out quite well with that soothing vocal."

Italian renegade Cioz is welcomed to Get Physical with two terrific new tracks that showcase his rich style. 

Cioz is utterly self-taught so never adheres to any rules. This lends his music an unpredictable and original quality that has led to artists like Super Flu, Andhim and Solomun all supporting him in the past. Cioz has also founded Knobs Bergamo; a community-based creative hub in Bergamo (Italy) where artists unite, collaborate, develop ideas and create. Following on from outings on the likes of Monaberry and Einmusika he now comes correct on the German giant, Get Physical Music. 

Majestic opener ‘Lucky Shot’ is an epic eight-minute journey into deep, rubbery drums and brilliantly loose and expressive synth lines. They do real gymnastics over the course of the track, with smeared pads, more dynamic chords and soul infused lines bringing plenty of warmth and colour to this groovy number. The careful addition of some female vocal sounds help elevate it yet further and will surely win the hearts of dancers everywhere. 

The supple ‘Cookie Man’ is another absorbing, deep and atmospheric house track with cleverly interwoven rhythmic and musical layers. The drums sashay about and get your hips moving, the lead synth is a curious one that makes the mind wander and the whole thing exudes real colour and soul to make it an immediately loveable track. 

These are two tasteful and characterful tunes from an ever more essential talent.

“Siamese Reworked“ features tracks previously released on Siamese but with new interpretations reworked by artists close to the label.

‘It has been clear to us right from the start that we wanted to get Sebastian Mullaert on board for this project. He was not only our premiere guest at the first ever Siamese showcase, his music is also a regular part in our sets. A great artist and a great person which he embodies both in his music and lifestyle. Like so often Sebastian delivers more than ‘just’ one amazing version. Thats why you will get two interpretations of the very first track released on Siamese, our very own “Patterns Of Eternity“. Sebastian sent us the main remix a day before we went to play The Block in Tel Aviv and then Time Warp in Mannheim - there is no better way to test out such a beauty. But listen for yourself and form your own opinion about it.’ - Siamese

For the first release, TAU001, the Adana Twins introduce a duo under the name ‘Innellea’; believed to be one of the biggest up-and-coming talents in the scene right now. Heavily influenced by percussion sounds, this inaugural EP successfully launches with thematic cohesion and into a realm of what they believe tribal infused techno should really sound like. Recruiting the help of Hu- man Machine to remix lead track ‘Nautilus’, having already gained significant support from the Adana Twins, who play almost all of their releases in their DJ sets. The rich, contrasting tastes of the German four-piece shine through, staying true to one simple rule – make people dance.
