This is Matthias Vogt's third installment on Polytone Recordings!
With "Maintain" he proves distinct feeling for musicality once more: As Vogt is an accomplished Jazz pianist, he is able to move easily between uplifting drive and harmonic substructures.
The flip side deals with the welcoming of two illustrious remix artists to Polytone's roster: Bleak and Vince Watson.
Bleak is renowned for having his musical output released on labels like Delsin and Deeply Rooted House. On remix duties Bleak drops hell of a Detroit vehicle. Based on significant drum grooves his remix will ultimately shake the dancefloor to its foundations.
Vince Watson's discography goes back to the mid-nineties and we vainly tried to keep track of his enormous musical output. Maintaining the spirit and the vibe of Vogt's original tune Vince Watson takes the original track and turns it into a string and pad driven sonic exploration perfectly fitting for Polytone's eclectic approach.

Matthias Vogt DJ Set, Recorded at Sounds Good @ Silodom Saarbrücken, May 23rd 2015

Matthias Vogt @ Polytone Session Silodom Saarbrücken

Blossom Kollektiv returns to vinyl once again after the success of Jepe’s “Spring Shadow,” this time around inviting House and Techno veteran Matthias Vogt to the label. The two-track EP of finely crafted melodic and emotive Techno features remixes from Oliver Gehrmann and Jepe and is sure to find its way into DJ bags world wide.

Starting the EP off on a strong note with Solace, Matthias Vogt takes us on a magical journey like we’re floating in the clouds with a driving kick and lush melodies that keep us soaring through the sky into a land of beautiful and lovely emotions. Then just when we feel like we’re about to fall the track uplifts us once again into a place of cosmic bliss with rich piano notes full of substance.

Playing with the rich piano notes of the original Oliver Gehrmann creates his own vision of Solace bringing a deeper and more after hours feel. The track takes us through the elements of the original but reworking it ever so slightly while never losing the strong emotional sense of the original. 

Next we come back to Matthias with Fluorescence where we once again are whisked of to a fascinating place full of melody and care free attitudes. However don’t let this allure fool you, powered by a heavy kick drum and tight percussion this track will work wonders on any peak hour dance floor bringing a sense of euphoria to the crowd. 

After returning from our blissful land Jepe brings us right to the floor with his straightforward house version of Fluorescence. Putting his stamp all over his version using classic piano stabs and funky percussion to make the track uplifting in a rhythmic way, then subtle synths from the original peek their heads out to create a little drama and suspense until the slamming kick drum kicks back in making the crowd move.

From 2004 - 2012, Frankfurt duo Motorcitysoul cut a fine line in sumptuous deep and tech house grooves on imprints du jour like Freerange, Ibadan Records, Aus and SImple. In some senses un(der)sung heroes of the era, their dissolution lead to a solo career for Matthias Vogt, the foundations of which he had already begun laying.

Pursuing the more melodic, dreamy elements of his former act’s composite sound, he’s forged a name for himself with his classy, deep, atmospheric works in recent times. Outings on labels like James Zabiela’s Born Electric and Fred Everything’s Lazy Days Recordings have been met with increasing acclaim, and there’s more on the way for Anjunadeep in the coming months. We’ve been trying to get a mix from him from the very start, so it’s with great pleasure we bring you this sublime session from Vogt, complete with a previously unreleased remix of Lana Del Rey.

*How would you describe your sound?*

Emotions in a nutshell.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*

Everything that captures me in a way. All parameters of music are important: melody, harmony, groove, sound, production. Inspiration can come from everywhere: old and new music, movies, books, the environment, even politics, human behaviour. I always try to stay curious and open-minded.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

It was the first time for me to do a mix with just my own music. It gave me flashbacks and memories. Hope you dig.
