Title: Too Little, Too Late
Artist: Baba Sikander
Remixer: R.EK
Label: TWIN TOWN
EAN/UPC: 4260168230589
Article No.: TTP052
Release: 2018-04-20
C-Line: 2018 Twin Town Productions
Countries: WW

Baba Sikander, hat wie wir finden ein gutes Timing bewiesen um die Katalognummer TTPD052 pünktlich zum Frühlingsanfang auf TWIN TOWN zu Veröffentlichen.

„Too Little, Too Late“ ist eine Geschichte über die Versäumnisse der Zeit, die der Berliner Produzent in einfühlsamen warmen Klängen, knisternden Basslines und wohl sortierten Synthesizerspielereien, in einer Hommage an das Leben und der elektronischen Musik erzählt. Macht's euch bequem und genießt dieses Frühlingsmärchen.
:::
"Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit begegnete Baba vor seinem Haus einem alten, heruntergekommenen, obdachlosen Yamaha DX-7. Alte Synthesizer aus den 80ern sind Baba sehr sympathisch, weshalb er den ziemlich verwirrten und zerkratzten Digitalpionier auf einen kleinen Jam ins seine Wohnung einlud. Seine Hoffnung, inspirierenden Klängen und aufregenden Geschichten zu lauschen, wurde nicht enttäuscht, obwohl der alte Herr auf Grund einer niemals gewechselten Batterie unter starkem Gedächtnisverlust zu leiden hatte. Einige inspirierende Fetzen dieses mehrstündigen Monologs über Italo Disco, Acid House und viele verpasste Gelegenheiten konnte Baba unbemerkt aufzeichnen und in diese kleine akustische Perle verwandeln - ein hektischer Versuch, all das Versäumte aufzuholen.“
:::
Vergoldet wird das ganze mit Remixen von „EZRA“ & „R.EK“ beide werden in der Szene als Geheimtips gehandelt.

Massive Attack - Teardrop (R.EK Remix) Soundcloud ONLY

N.T.E. opens with a racing heartbeat, describing the menacing grace of falling into an abyss in the first part of the track, and outlining the battle of coming back to life in the second part.
N.T.E. tells the story of a near-death experience, and explores the phenomenon in the form of a Melodic Techno track—delicately and without any unnecessary sensationalism. It’s the prevailing dichotomy, resonating in the details, that makes the track so appealing: You’ll find yourself balancing on the edge of a cliff—between stirring certainty, comforting hope, and a liberating battle.

R.EK - N.T.E. (Original Mix) [KNT003]

After his first interpretation of a 90s trip-hop hit "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, R.EK dares another remix with "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead. A challenging work: R.EK mixes techno with trip-hop and dark, melancholic sounds without destroying the original masterpiece. With his interpretation, R.EK once again shows his multifaceted skills.

More About R.EK

Radiohead - Talk Show Host (R.EK Remix) [Soundcloud ONLY]

Darkness pervades the hot room, as a friend takes your hand, and pulls you out of your unasked-for solitude. Passing people dancing to the deep bass, through that sweet smelling fog, you’re being lead to the dancefloor, where you can finally let yourself go, and become one with the music.

R.EK’s new track “Hold It” pays tribute to all the obscure club nights, when people—looking for a temporary fulfillment—find themselves in the middle of adventures. “Hold It” embodies this relentless quest, and the deep desire of being found.

Hold It (Original)

R.EK - Hold It (Original Mix) [KNT004]

An inner tension, or even a certain unrest is in the air as soon as the first notes of R.EK’s new track “Krills” cut their way through the ear canals — a track with a catchy hook that brings back memories of old school techno from the 90s.
The track doesn’t evoke a paralyzing unrest, but quite the opposite: It unleashes something deep inside. While there is this constant, menacing knocking on brittle walls coming from the background, resistance arises, and an assertive determination emerges. “Krills” represents the audacity when people stand up and fight for their liberties under unfavorable circumstances; when — exactly because of the constant threat — they keep on dancing in protest.

Krills (Original Mix)

R.EK - Krills (Original Mix) [KNT005]

Waiting is sort of an interim state that exists because of a future occurrence. But what kind of feelings are triggered if you realize that the anticipated event fails to occur? “I’m waiting for nothing.” Do you feel frustrated? Does the waiting period become a farce? Was it all for nothing?
“Waiting”, the latest track by melodic techno artist R.EK, addresses this ambiguous, hard to define emotional state. The staggering, driving bass line represents frustration; the catchy chord progression depicts despair. And every now and then, hope still shimmers through. 
In this instance, all the waiting wasn’t in vain. It was the seed for an infectious track that will resonate in your ears for a while.

Waiting (Original Mix)

R.EK - Waiting (Original Mix) [KNT006]

The first notes of “Feys”, R.EK’s latest work and first single release in 2020, leave a volatile impression. The sound’s grace evokes the moment when you see a stranger’s face for the first time, when you inspect its details; cheek dimples, wrinkles on the forehead, a mysterious shade around the eyes.
With every passing second one discovers new details, striking passages taking turns with vulnerable sounds, and with every additional piece of the puzzle you’ll get closer to the core of this work. “Feys” heralds a new era for R.EK and introduces a new chapter for his label KnotenMusic—by uniting melodic techno with cinematic dramatics. In collaboration with Hannes Bieger, whose mixing adds a warm touch to the sound, R.EK is again pushing boundaries, and explores new grounds, where subtle, harmonious synthies and an enormous love for detail are paired to enable a new, distinct sound.

It’s the haunting urgency in R.EK’s tracks that captures the listener instantly. R.EK tears down the walls of conventions with monumental, technoid soundscapes that carry stories within.
Years and years of bringing his live sets to perfection were finally rewarded when R.EK was called to be one of the resident DJs of the prestigious Hive Club in Zurich, Switzerland. What sets him apart are his memorable live sets, where he’s able to pick up the audience’s mood, and to channel it into his music. The result thereof is the skillful bundling of the crowd’s energy—that is also projected onto his studio recorded tracks. Letting himself being inspired by this energy determines the versatility of R.EK’s music that mesmerizes with vehemence and gripping ease, all at once.
