The freaks are out again. Questo?! Music 006 comes on transparent vinyl and features three tracks by the freaky Questo?! family. This time we show up from the flashy and melodic side, right perfect for the beginning of the open air season. 

Schallbox-Head and Basel-based Steve Cole teams up one more time with Berlin-freak Ronald Christoph, who is known for several releases and collaborations. „Into Nothing“ brings the melody of now, obstructed with a little disco flavour. Will be definitely responsible for some eargasms.

‚Rookie’ Dominik Daks brings the full sensual, but driven track „Plus Size“, which is dipped in cosmic synth lines and navigates the freaky Questo?! flagship to undiscovered worlds.

The B-side is reserved for an 11-minute-tracker by Frankfurt-based Matt Star. He juggles with synths and turns „Almond“ into a great tripping masterpiece.

Hush Hush

RVRT 010 / Dos Attack - Flue (Kornel Kovacs Remix)

Respected house producer Josh Butler is back, armed with his brand new ‘Link’ EP on Edwin Oosterwal and Joris Voorn’s legendary Rejected imprint. The EP once again proves Josh’s ability to continuously deliver the kind of high quality tech-house that has entrenched him as an integral figure in the underground UK house scene.

The title track ‘Link’ stays true to Butler’s less-is-more philosophy while also showcasing his incredible sound-design and production know-how. The percussion takes centre stage as Josh brings in conga rolls, a soulful vocal refrain and lush, atmospheric pads to contribute to an inimitable groove. Two distinct mixes of the track, a melodic mix and a dub mix, are generously provided on the EP and both demonstrate the intricacies inherent in Josh’s production.

Rounding off the release is ‘Need Me’, the EP’s deeper venture that combines minimalist instrumentation centred around a grooving bassline, subtly making itself known above the driving percussion. Throughout the EP, Josh succeeds in delivering vast symphonic landscapes within the pretext of measured and characteristic instrumental restraint. Partygoers can expect to hear both sides of the EP receive serious airtime across the club circuit as the Ibiza season kicks into full swing this month.

After exceptional releases on much-respected imprints like Dixon’s Innervisions, Drumpoet Community and Mood Music, Berlin-based artist duo FRANKEY & SANDRINO brings their sophisticated, deep house sound to Kompakt with the HYDRAE EP – three new and highly versatile tracks that prove once more the perfect symbiosis of Frank Beckers’ technical know-how and Sandrino Tittel’s selector expertise from his days as resident DJ at Wuppertal’s famed Butan Club. Both the title cut HYDRAE and b-side buster IZAR feature the expressive, silky synth solos we’ve come to love from the two soundsmiths, embedded in the focussed throbbing of their precision beats. Closer MERGING BLACK sports slightly more jagged contours, thanks to some psychoactive synth sequencing and a howling trumpet –  enriched with Frankey & Sandrino’s stunning sense for dramaturgic refinement. Voluptuous and minimalist at the same time, these tracks spin a captivating floor lore that will enchant any serious fan of electronic dance music.

Nach bemerkenswerten Releases auf hochgelobten Labels wie etwa Dixons Innervisions, Drumpoet Community und Mood Music bringt das Berliner Künstlerduo FRANKEY & SANDRINO ihren ausgeklügelten, tiefen House-Sound mit der HYDRAE EP zu Kompakt - drei neue und vielseitige Tracks belegen einmal mehr die perfekte Symbiose von Frank Beckers' technischem Know-How und Sandrino Tittels Club-Expertise aus seinen Tagen als Resident-DJ im legendären Wuppertaler Butan Club. Sowohl der Titeltrack HYDRAE als auch der B-Seiten-Knaller IZAR glänzen mit den expressiven, seidigen Synthie-Solos die wir bei den beiden Klangtüftlern schätzen gelernt haben, formvollendet eingebettet im fokussierten Treiben ihrer Präzisions-Beats. Der Abschlusstrack MERGING BLACK weist etwas schartigere Züge auf, dank psychoaktiver Synthie-Sequenzen und einer aufheulenden Trompete - angereichert mit Frankey & Sandrinos verblüffendem Sinn für dramaturgische Finesse. Üppig und minimalistisch zugleich, erzählen diese Aufnahmen von einer fesselnden Tanzflursaga die jeden ernstzunehmenden Fan elektronischer Tanzmusik begeistern wird.

Questo?! – that´s Italian and means nothing more than: "this?!". Shortened to "Quest?!", it stands for "Search?!" and as well as “Game?!”. Questo?! unites all of these meanings.
 
The "Search?!" for fresh versatile grooves - the "Game?!" as an interplay between electronic sounds – considering and questioning “these?!”. Spinning the progress of electronic music – everything gets more colorful and all elements flow into each other. Nevertheless being convinced of analogue music and the value of physical sound recordings - therefore Questo?! exists. Released tracks are only available in limited record numbers, true to the principle "Don´t devalue your track!".
