Expansion Pack II

Thankyou City - Iron Horse (Original Mix) [Open Records]

One of Atlantic Canada’s most respected and followed techno DJ/Producers, his influence on underground music scene has touched and inspired so many producers and DJs over the course of  the past quarter century.  He began his journey in 1991 where a tragic car accident almost took his life.  While in hospital, he has a dream playing music on stage, interacting with people and getting them to dance…  Originally from London, England and inspired by cinematic masterpieces and producers such as Art of Noise, New Order, Depeche Mode, Future Sounds of London, Yello and the great Giorgio Moroder, he began to realize his calling.  He bought turntables and connected with record pools in Toronto and Halifax and the Secret Music Club in the UK.  In 1998 he entered and won DJ competitions in Halifax, NS and Charlottetown, PEI.  Over the years his name grew in popularity gaining shows across Canada with interests in the US, Europe and Brazil.   In 2016, BERLIN TECHNO SESSIONS, VOL. 6 signed his remix of Trilingo - Luzoba Charife Remix, gaining international attention with the techno community.  In 2018 he continued releasing melodic, progressive techno tracks working with the talented Ben Rama and Techgnosis Records.  His Notations Series mixes have gained much attention with continual support and momentum building for 2019. 

His passion for music is strong as he states, “Music is more than just listening pleasure; it’s an experience, a journey one must venture from all walks of life, pulling deep from within the truth of life, past, present, and future! Music can make one understand who they are and what they wish to achieve.” Through this format, Charife delivers a story to lets people experience openness and freedom to let loose to explore his vision through sound… His mixes are experiences!  Those who have heard him, return for more, those who experience him for the first time get pulled into a hypnotic state that keeps them wanting more…  a musical story if you will, drawing emotion deep into the music.

Diamandy, Doppel - Distance Between Us (Original mix)

Eitan Reiter & Yuli Fershtat were drawing inspiration from each other and brainstorming, or maybe it would be better called heart storming over music for almost 15 years now. 

This short compilation of tracks is a humble homage to the stuff that was bouncing between the two during these years. 

This is also our last release for 2019, was a great ride thanks for your support, we don't take it for granted!

Enjoy!

Perfect Stranger - Stardust (Eitan Reiter Remix) [SoundCloud Clip]

1. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Original Mix] 
2. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Torsten Fassbender Remix]
3. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Satoshi Fumi Remix]

Back in 1995, in a 4 page Mixmag Platipus special, Simon Berry was described by Alexis Petridis as “The Unstoppable Trance Machine". A quarter of a century on and Mr Petridis was not wrong. As the force behind Art Of Trance, one half of Union Jack, and founder of Platipus Records, Simon has been consistently fine tuning his trademark sound with chart topping singles on Bedrock, Platipus and Circus.

Following on from his ground breaking solo excursions ’Black Rainbow’, ‘Anaconda’ and ‘Rogue Planet’, Simon makes a return to nature with ‘Pangolin’.

Opening with the omnipotent original, ‘Pangolin’ emerges from the undergrowth as a low slung elusive anomaly. Rattling percussion paves the way for oriental ear bending arpeggios, soaring chords and descending scales, providing shimmering glimmers of hope for a more utopian vision of the future beyond pandemonium.

Ominous low frequency oscillations introduce the second instalment of 'Pangolin' by Berlin frequency wizard Torsten Fassbender. Spiralling glitched arpeggios are interspersed with jagged fluttering sawtooth pulsations. A divine audio delicacy to be savoured, or a medicinal musical doctrine?

Tokyoite DJ, producer, label owner and radio presenter Satoshi Fumi has been sharpening his katana over the course of time with a collection of quality releases on esteemed labels such as Get Physical, Bedrock and Moodmusic. Premiering on John Digweed’s Bunker Session 12, Satoshi’s instalment of 'Pangolin' is quite possibly his strongest remix to date. He unashamedly dissipates any distancing rules to implement a gentle pummelling of deep driving House, rich in rhythm and melodic tech nostalgia, revealing his roots in early 90's Chicago House and Detroit Techno, in a noble attempt to save it from extinction.
