Fantastic job again Rafa, Included in my last show!

Hamburg native Florian Kruse is a mainstay in the electronic scene and has had numerous club hits throughout his long career. He recently released big singles (some together with Julian Wassermann) on acclaimed labels such as KOMPAKT/Speicher, Mobilee, Blaufield Music, Spectrum, Last Night On Earth, Terminal M, Stone Free Berlin, Katermukke etc… and always has had international support by all the big name DJs.


In the past Florian Kruse’s work has been reviewed positively in magazines and online portals such as FAZEmag, DMCworld, Clash, Soundspace, Datatransmission and Dancing Astronaut to name a few.


Several tracks were also featured on Spotify’s playlists such as: Electronic Rising, Electronic Circus, Techno Bunker, Beats To Think To, Discover Weekly, Paul Kalkbrenner - Family And Friends… 

Florian’s original music got remixed by big names like Joris Voorn, David Morales, Eagles & Butterflies, Noir, Coyu, Pleasurekraft, John Monkman, Skudge and many more.

With a full length album called ‘Nordic Soul’ in the pipeline for March 2023 Florian Kruse is going to play club shows and festivals all around the globe. A few dates are already approved.

San Fransico’s own Kevin Knapp has a great standing in todays tech house scene with releases on labels such as Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels, Hottrax, Dirtybird, Truesoul and his own imprint Plump Records. His stand out vocals turned our heads back in 2012 proclaiming ‘My Beat Will Control Your Body’ with Audiojack and his first Hot Creations cut ‘The Drums’ alongside Richy Ahmed is something almost everybody in the scene remembers.


Music Commentary:

The track starts with a rough and technoish beat that gets support by a driving sub bass after a few bars.
The main synth line comes in and filters up. Florian keeps this element interesting by playing around with attack, decay and release and sending it into a huge reverb and gives a bit of delay to it here and there. After 1:40 min Kevin Knapp features the vibe with his voice saying: ‘all we need is a drum and a fat bassline to control their minds - Let the rhythm speak to you’. A long 16th note snareroll in the mainbreak creates the tension that is needed for the hands up moment  in the club and Kevin releases the drop with his words: ‘let the rhythm speak to you’.


Lyric Commentary:

‘Rhythm Speech’ describes the language everybody understands on the dancefloor. ‘All we need is a drum and a fat bassline…’ to control the crowd and to get them moving to the beat.

Pale Blue unveil the penultimate single from their forthcoming album on Crosstown Rebels with ‘Together Alone’, accompanied by a driving and hypnotic remix from Kölsch.

Artists with renowned solo careers alongside their ever-evolving journey as the critically acclaimed duo Pale Blue, Mike Simonetti and Elizabeth Wight continue to showcase why their collaborative material is much-loved from all corners of the electronic realm and beyond. Arriving on the heels of the release of the playful and charming ‘No Words’, the pair return to Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels with the third and penultimate single ahead of their forthcoming album release as they switch up the mood and veer into wistful territories across the absorbing ‘Together Alone’ - backed by a remix from Kompakt mainstay and electronic heavyweight, Kölsch. 

“Together Alone is the longest song on the record. It is meant to represent the three phases of a relationship: the beginning, middle, and end. It is also the penultimate song on Maria, the song before the realisation, the slow dance” says Simonetti, uncovering the story behind the touching and moving record. Wight adds, “‘Together Alone’ is pretty self-explanatory. It is about that period in a relationship when you are going through the motions, when you know it’s over, but you go on anyway”.

A carefully created journey across almost eight minutes, ‘Together Alone’ is an exemplary showcase of balance and restrain as delicate melodies and hazy tones float amongst subtle nimble percussion arrangements, blooming synths and Wight’s captivating vocals for a deep dive into dreamy spheres. Bringing his own take to the record, Danish electronic pioneer Kölsch heads to Crosstown Rebels with his excellent crafted ‘I Have You’ remix, as he builds on the original with a powerful and emphatic introduction of anthemic leads, crisp kicks and a warping bassline rooted at the track’s core to transport the production firmly into the heart of the dancefloor.

Opening up the FTTF27 is Cafius with „Catan“, a cheeky Indie Dance track that will have your head bumping. Organic bass and guitar sounds, lots of detail in the layers and an addictive toy-synth sound that will have you hit repeat.
Up next is Paul Ursin’s „Starlight“, a dark and somber tune that’s heavily inspired by 80s cinematic futurism. Coarse synths, deep bass and little bleeps straight from a dial-up modem.
WaTTo’s „Sippin’“ is a powerhouse of hi-energy acid techno that came to slap you across the face and pump its fist in the air for hours on end while never breaking eye contact.
And closing off the FTTF27 is Mathias Kaden (who released on Diynamic’s sub label 2DIY4 back in 2013) with his hypnotic dance floor ritual „Close To Me“.

Up next on Diynamic is Andrew Meller’s „Demention EP“.
Opening track „Burner“ introduces us into Meller’s world, a hypnotic anthem that feels like straight out of a DJ set.
Then title track „Demention“ hits the pedal to the metal - a high octane indie dance track with a catchy arpeggio and an emotional vocal sample.
And finally „MMNT“ takes us deep, with a glassy industrial synth dancing over the wobbly sub-bass.

Ellum Audio serves up a selection of dance floor weapons on a bumper new sampler handpicked by label head Maceo Plex. 

Italian Laherte trained at Studio 76 Music and has since built on that early promise with tunes on top labels. He opens up with 'My Mind', a driving techno cut with slapping hits and filtered alien sounds bringing the menace. Ellum Audio artist Waltervelt then keeps it dark and cosmic with the skewed synth energy and prickly beats of his eerie 'Back Room'.

Argentina's David Bau has made big moves in the underground with this potent take on techno. Here he offers up 'Deconstruct', a tense and turbulent stomper with flashy synth designs and intense, grinding bass. French mainstay Madben follows up his excellent recent album with 'The Drone Dance', another standout track with strobe-lit synth lasers firing over the face of an ice-cold rhythm. 

Part 2 opens with Ibiza-based producer and DJ John Monkman, the founder of Beesemyer Music and a familiar face on this label. He impresses again with 'Talking Heads', another sublime mix of futuristic synth designs carefully layered up over compelling, steel-edged drums. 8-Bit Culprit is the house and techno alter ego of Faraz Ehsan from India. His 'Refurbished Robots' is an electrifying peak time cut that takes you to the heart of a dance floor in outer space, with nebulous pads and squealing cosmic sounds all wrapping around the urgent grooves. 

Next up is the collaborative Headwaters duo from Turkey. They draw on their mix of electronic sounds and instrumental skills on 'Eternal Madness', a slick tech track that locks you into crisp loops then mesmerises with the glowing synth harmonies which shine brightly up top. Danish DJ and producer Christian Nielsen is back on the label to round out this collection with 'Liberate,' a dark dance floor punisher with neck-snapping snares and ghoulish voices over a slithering and hypotonic beat. This has already been receiving plays from Maceo Plex at the likes of Timewarp, Brunch Madrid and the Ushuaia opening and is set to be a summer highlight. 

This is another high-class voyage to the edges of the techno galaxy courtesy of Ellum.
