QUICK PASS CAT PLASTER part. 3 TWELVE HIGHWAYS DIRECTION A BELL

Dold - Tumult [FLOAT009]

Tracklist:
1: Dold - Tumult
2: Dold - Tumult (Fisssh Remix)
3: Dold - Sågtand
4: Dold - Sfär

The spectrum of Float Records is again extended with latest signing Dold. Housed in Sweden, this talented new producer delivers three analog pieces of music. Fisssh takes care of the remix to show you his approach. 

The original Tumult starts modest, but builds up to an intense moment of full force, which is supported by minimal yet heavy drums. Fisssh uses his intelligent percussion game to give the original a different direction. With intense filtering and layering he succeeds to flip the originals sequence into a new one. Sågtand almost overrules itself with its sequenced penetrating saw, distorted minimal kicks and clever positioned high hats. This haunting tool let’s no place untainted. Sfär closes the EP in style with a rolling sequence combined with an ongoing soundscape in the background.

Title: X
Catalog: FLOAT010

A1: TWR72 - X1
A2: TWR72 - X2
B1: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 1)
B2: TWR72 - X3
Digital bonus: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 2)

The 10th release of Float Records will be celebrated in style by label owners TWR72. They present you their own new EP called ‘X’. Three original groove monsters supported by an intense and profound remix from Endlec.
 
X1 has a remarkable and outspoken bassline with a slighty ‘back in the days’-feel created by the drums. Slowly the organ theme grows and grows until you get used to it. Heavy hitting claps make sure to keep your attention towards the break. And then… X2 has a driving groove as the main subject. Steered by an almost annoying high pitched pad and later some haunting strings. The real science starts when Endlec works his magic. His unique drum programming and distorted yet sophisticated approach of the elements creates the best remix. X3, the fast groover with a slick bassline, a cheeky synth and jacking drums is perhaps a safe approach. But we guarantee this will work on every dancefloor. As a digital bonus there is another brilliant remix by Endlec. Judge it yourself.

Title: Adept
Catalog: FLOAT011

Tracklist:
1: Deauwd - Adept
2: Deauwd - 120
3: Deauwd - Duality
4: Deauwd - Litter

Releasedate: 6th of June

It all started with a demo in our mailbox of a 18 minutes long track without a beat. Deauwd was the one who had the balls and confidence to send it. There was no doubt this guy was talented and here we are presenting his debut EP on Float Records: Adept. 

Deauwd his love for techno has translated into a real varied EP. With the 1st track Adept he goes full force with a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements. No doubt the sequence gets stuck in your head for a long time. 120 is the 2nd track on the EP. This 18 minutes long masterpiece takes you on an atmospheric journey which builds up really slow and subtle. Just in time you can hear the first tones leading to the transformation of the sequence. Then it opens up like a beautiful flower in outer space. Duality on the flip side is the little kooky brother of Adept. Once again a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements, but this time with a startling arrangement. You never know what to expect next. Last of the bunch is Litter. High BPM, killer bassline, snappy beats and a fantastic sequence. Once again a talented new producer on Float Records! We hope you like it as much as we do.

P.E.A.R.L. - Equinox / FLOAT015

That time when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator, making night and day of approximately equal length all over the earth. 'Equinox' is P.E.A.R.L. his debut on Float Records. As known for his aesthetic grooves we are proud to add this Berlin based Spanish producer to our catalogue. This three track EP does exactly what the title implies. 

Equinox I hits it right in the centre, with vibes perfect for either sunset or sunrise. The hypnotic sequence will cut through your brain and makes sure you don’t even know if it’s night or day. Equinox II represents the night. Again an incredible solid sequence, but with a raw edge assisted by a haunting soundscape doing justice to the dark. No one is safe for this killer. When day time arrives you will be introduced to Equinox III. This seems to be the most friendly track, but don’t let it fool you. A smart percussive rhythm does the magic and creates the hypnotic experience you can expect from P.E.A.R.L.

Title: The Mystery of the Black Flamingo
Catalog: FLOAT016

Tracklist:
1: The Mystery of the Black Flamingo
2: Lamb in Lotus
3: Piranha Plant

The Mystery of the Black Flamingo is the debut of Paris based Hemka. And she delivers a unique vision on techno. The first track is titled The Mystery of the Black Flamingo and has the perfect combination of intelligent sequences and club focused elements. It’s multifunctional. We don't know if the real black flamingo has the same abilities, but that remains a mystery. 

Lamb in Lotus, the 2nd track of the EP, continues with the same sequences and contains incredible driving and storytelling elements. Everything is supported by subtle placed hihats & claps which strengthen the powerful rhythms. The final track is called Piranha Plant and has raw edges and a bit more spaced out feeling than it’s predecessors, and therefore makes a perfect fit to close the EP. A musical explosion is what you will get with this brilliant EP by Hemka.

https://soundcloud.com/oisel - Multiverso (Part 1)

1: Massa
2: Sigma
3: Uranio
4: Proxima B

Releasedate: 10th of April

Without a doubt one of the most promising talents from Italy is now part of the Float family! And we’re proud to present the first part of his debut project called Multiverso (Part 1). The first EP consists four tracks that fit the Float discography perfectly. 

The track Massa flirts with the 90’s and contains rough edged sequences controlled by minimal placed beats. This keeps on going until the intelligent break at the mid point of the track where the main sequence collapses and starts over again. Massa is the perfect allrounder if you need some rough 90’s stuff. 
Sigma, the second track of the bunch, creates a subtle and tense spaced out atmosphere, but has enough body to tremble the walls of every club. Smartly placed high hats, claps and rides give Sigma it’s unique rhythm and infinite touch. 

On the flip side we have Uranio which has that incredible effective punch without loosing the ever so airy vibe. Subtle and smooth high frequencies take care of the wide approach while the timeless space sequence makes Uranio suitable for any occasion. 
Proxima B closes the EP in style with a perfectly balanced atmospheric ambient vibe. But don’t get fooled, because underneath there is a bass filled layer supported by some strong beats.

Sport is the 2nd release by @https://soundcloud.com/kuf and @https://soundcloud.com/ddoldd on Float Records. These guys from the north again delivered 4 solid tracks with minimal, but intriguing elements.

The EP is titled Sport and Kuf takes of the title track. 'Sport' is exactly what a pro sporter would sound like during his game. Full speed with 100% adrenaline focussed on it’s goal. 'FM Loops', the 2nd deliverance by Kuf has some tensed exotic vibes. Or isn’t it exotic? Judge it yourself. 

On the flip side his friend Dold seems to take it down a notch. But don’t be fooled, because Moment, the 1st track, has some big impact. Combining intelligent bleeps with a minimal bassline and some heavy drums you’ll get what Dold always gives. And don't forget the solid atmospherical pads to give some extra emotion to the track. The 2nd one is Revolution. Based on a falling and rising bassline and minimal drums this will fit smoothly into any set.

B1: Letter of Resignation

It’s time for our 20th release on Float Records. And who’s better to celebrate this with than Sleeparchive. There is enough brilliance to choose from, but it all starts with 15 minutes of superiority on the 5x3 loop tracks on the A-side with that typical Sleeparchive sound. All containing disturbing drums followed by upperclass sequences which keeps on going.

The B-side starts with title track Letter of Resignation. Is this a clue from Sleeparchive? The future will tell. What we do know is that it continues where the A-side stopped. Again heavy hitting drums followed by a frisk sequence. He continues this formula on the 2nd track called Solitary Drinker. And above all we give you a small bonus with 2 locked groove presents: Sleep Cycle 17 & 18.

Our growing brilliant from Greece is ready for his 2nd EP on Float Records. Cirkle gives you Shaka; a four tracker filled with solid and reduced brilliance. It starts with the title track Shaka, a sequence based piece with straight forward percussion and arrangement. You know that’s how we like it. The 2nd fantastic track is Voo, bleep bleep bleep bleep. This will sure be a standard in every set. Centaur, the 3rd track, is build on a hypnotizing sequenced bassline. Circular closes the EP with even more effective bleeps and bleeps and some beats.

The complete TWR72 - Lucid release wasn’t enough so it gets a remix treatment by Psyk, Henning Baer, ROD, Neznan and TWR72 itself. 

Psyk kicks off with a tom based space out remix of Lucid. Heavy soundscapes and pads are layered over the fine rhythm of toms. Henning Baer takes care of Aporia with a weird metal loop kinda vibe and a straight forward beat rhythm to keep the speed. TWR72 gave Colloquial a groovy treatment. With minimal, filtered and slightly oldskool elements they changed the original parts into a little killer. Talking about minimal, on the flipside ROD delivers greatness on Lucid with his cut and slide technique. Neznan closes the EP in style; because his style is impeccable. When you thought you’ve heard it all, Neznan jumps in. An experimental take on Erudite is what you get. And like always, there are hidden messages in his music.

The first installment of the ‘Error' series by TWR72: Error 01.

The ‘Error’ Series are a collaboration between photographer Thomas Aangeenbrug, Float based graphic designer Merijn van Velsen and TWR72.

We're happy to introduce a new Float artist. Evod, who works close with hometown buddy Oisel, will join the roster with a solid debut. With a tasty combination of analog sequences, a minimal approach and modest beats, Evod sets a unique standard in the scene and fits perfect in the line that Float represents. We present you Unita, Luce, Flusso and Visibile.

Evod - Unità [FLOAT027] (Previews)

What is a better way to link a track title to the labels name. No idea, it’s just a coincidence that Floating is called Floating. Leghau makes his debut on Float Records and his tracks are spot on into the direction we love. Floating is one of the modest tracks out there with such depth and subtleness. If you’re not really into modest directions; In Order To is the one for you. Straight forward with some balls. Oppressive Environment feels like a slightly haunted groovy carousel while Time is totally out of control.

PTTRN
At The Precipice We Change
FLOAT031

There is a lot of effective techno out there, but what PTTRN separates from the rest is their approach. Next to being effective, it’s also tasteful and it brings back memories from the early days of the rave era. It’s perfectly balanced. At The Precipice We Change is their first output, but we know there is lots more on the shelves.
