With In Touch With Nature, Octave presents an evocative EP that seamlessly blends minimal grooves with organic soundscapes. Across the release, intricate percussive layers and atmospheric textures create a hypnotic flow that feels as natural as it is timeless. Each piece unfolds with a sense of calm intensity, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world where music and environment resonate in harmony.

Adding his distinct touch, Beiger reimagines the title track with a deep, refined remix. His version amplifies the meditative qualities of the original, weaving subtle details into a groove that is both immersive and endlessly evolving — a perfect reinterpretation that broadens the narrative of the EP.

The journey culminates with the closing track, which stands out as the most powerful statement of the release. Stronger and more driving than its predecessors, it channels raw energy while staying true to Octave’s signature precision, offering a dynamic finale that ignites the dancefloor.

In Touch With Nature is a testament to Octave’s ability to balance depth, elegance, and intensity — a collection of sounds that connect us back to the pulse of the earth while pushing forward into unexplored sonic territory.

Following on from the well received Chord Cluster 12" from late 2017, the irresistible pairing of Steve Bug (@stevebug) and Langenberg (@langenberg) return with 'Paradise Sold' - a full ten track album of exquisitely crafted house music on Bug’s own Poker Flat Recordings. 

Neither Steve Bug nor Langenberg needs much introduction due to the sizeable contributions both have made in building the European house and techno scene as we know it. Bug’s relentless commitment to quality - both in his own work and in the many producers he has championed - has made him one of electronic music's most revered artists and curators.

Langenberg aka Max Heesen is the deep guru of the German Deep House Scene. One half of the duo Ribn, he has released on labels like Drumpoet, STH- LM Audio, Strax Leaves, Ovum and most notably on Dessous who put out his debut solo LP released in late 2016. Put these two dons in a studio together, and the results are truly special.

The album is a masterclass in house music production and came to life as a true collaborative work. "It feels great to work with Max and I don't know why we didn't get to work together earlier" says Steve Bug. "It feels very natural to be in the studio together and our two worlds match easily. I think I speak for the both of us, when I say, by combining forces we came up with tunes, that we wouldn't have created on our own."

"I really enjoyed the process of making this album", adds Langenberg. "We weren't just sending tracks back and forth over the internet. It was the two of us working together in the studio. It was interesting to experience how the tracks came to life. In the end all the tracks have both of our handwritings, but the final result has become bigger than just the sum of our individual input."

Paradise Sold is a hardware-heavy production, with the Moog Sub 37, Dave Smith Sequential Prophet 6, Studio Electronics Omega 8, Roland Juno 60, Juno 106, and TB 303 all used before the entire albums was mixed down with engineering legend turned producer Hannes Bieger at his studio to make use of his analog mixing gear.

Steve Bug & Langenberg - Late Harvest

Cocoon Compilation R

Yes Let

H.O.S.H, aka Holger Behn, is something of a legend in the German house scene.  An exceptional DJ, prolific producer and crucial part of Hamburg’s hugely influential Diynamic crew, H.O.S.H. has helped shape the contemporary house landscape like few others.  'Ego', his latest 12“ release on Poker Flat Recordings, demonstrates his absolute mastery of the dancefloor, a result of his vast experience behind the decks.

'Don Arp' kicks off this 12" – a mid-tempo 
banger that works as perfectly early-on in a set as it would at a peak-time strobe-n-smoke moment. The vibe is pure heads down funk - from the irresistible groove to the ecstatic cut up vocals – but it’s the filthy, Funktion One-troubling bassline that fully detonates this basement bomb. Don Arp is going to tear up all sorts of dancefloors for a long time to come. 
The dub version of 'Don Arp' puts a new slant on the same growling groove, dispensing most of the vocals and letting the synths bubble and the clattering hats and snares dominate.

Sharing the B side with the dub, comes 'Facebook'. Way more fun than the social network, H.O.S.H drops another heavy-grooving body-mover. Clocking in at 114bpm, the track hints at that slightly deranged part of the night – a pitched down vocal, a neurotic melody and enough grit and attitude to rock any flagging feet.  Poker Flat’s incredible run of recent releases goes on.



Hamburg Elektronisch - Von House Zu House Vol. 2

H.O.S.H. - Don Arp

Cat : SOUV097 
Artist : Metaboman
Title : Einsein incl. Robag Wruhme remix
Release date : 25/04/19

Tiefschwarz’s Souvenir label kicks off the 2019 year in brilliant form with an EP from Germany’s Metaboman (Musik Krause), featuring 4 mind-melting slices of underground dancefloor weaponry perfectly stripped back to the most essential elements. The EP, ‘Einseins’ is Metaboman’s debut offering for the Berlin imprint, and easily one of his most ambitious and expertly crafted releases to date. The release includes a Robag Wruhme remix which makes it the first time in over 15 years the two are back on a release together.
