Homework - Deep House Amsterdam Mixtape #098

artist: MOHRR
title: DIRTY FEET
label: Sudbeat
mixes: Cid Inc / Martin Garcia
cat #: SB017
release date: 05/05/11 
Always keen to promote new, up and coming Argentinean talent, Sudbeat boss Hernan Cattaneo once again returns to his homeland for release number 017 on the label...
25 year old Buenos Aires resident, Facundo Mohrr has been steadily building a reputation thanks to a stream of releases and remixes. Under his own name, his brand of progressive house has already gathered many a big name supporter and seen him travel the globe to DJ. With the likes of Sasha, Nick Warren, Anderson Noise and Christian Smith all lending their support, it has encouraged Facundo to broaden his musical horizons and produce material with a tougher, techier edge. To be released under the pseudonym, Mohrr.
So, making his debut on Sudbeat, Mohrr presents "Dirty Feet." A deep, driving tech workout. Its sweeping atmospherics and twisted echoing vocal work together with its rolling drums and elasticated synth stabs, to create a dark a devilish original cut.
Finland's Cid Inc presents our first rework, making his debut on the label with an anthemic revision of "Dirty Feet." Upping the pace Cid Inc creates a wall of synth. Creative filtering adds to the tension as the beats grow in intensity and then fall away to unveil its synth laden break. Finally, we return from Scandinavia to Argentina and our final remix from, Martin Garcia. Classic progressive house at its finest. Layers of warm inviting synths, shallow drums and haunting piano stabs.

Erhan Kesen was born on 04.03.1984 in Instanbul. Already as a child, Erhan had to do with a lot of music. At first he started to study architecture, but he fell for his passion and decided to play and produce music. Genres like soul, funk, acid-jazz and their stars including James Brown, Prince and Jamiroquai are were his inspiration. At the end he found that the electronic music is his true inspiration.
Because he performed so well as a DJ in the clubs of Instanbul, he got promoted to a Resident DJ in one of them. He played support acts for DJ’s like Gilles Peterson, Gotan Project, Jazzanova Live and Bugge Wesseltoft. The manager of the high decorated club Nublu in New York noticed Erhan and made him Resident of his new Nublu Club in Instanbul. He was so successful there, clubs in Instanbul like Anjelique, Milli, Ghetto, Vibe and Lux booked him to play for them.
To improve his profession he studied Audio Engineering at the SAE Institute. During his studies he continued producing and releasing tracks for the Phat Elefant label in Amsterdam and Tenampa label in Mexico.
Since 2012 Erhan is getting more and more successful and when the Suxul_Club (Ingolstadt) made him the offer to be the resident, he decided to go to Germany. He got to know LOPAZZ and K-Paul. He started producing for them, also. Since 2014 Erhan signed at the Berlin label WHATIPLAY. We are looking forward to his further development!
An introduction to the release "Everyone" (releasedate "Everyone"-EP 07.04.14) mixed Erhan Kesen the WIP Podcast 007, enjoy listening!

german:
Erhan Kesen wurde am 04.03.1984 als Erahn Odunkesen in Istanbul geboren. Bereits in seiner Kindheit beschäftigte sich Erhan intensiv mit Musik. Beruflich widmete er sich auf Grund seiner Ausbildung am technischen Gymnasium zunächst der Architektur, sehr bald  jedoch gab er sich seiner eigentlichen Leidenschaft, der Musik, ganz hin und wurde dabei von Soul-, Funk- und Acid-Jazz-Größen wie Prince, James Brown und Jamiroquai inspiriert. Seine wahre Inspiration fand er jedoch erst in der elektronischen Musik.
Mit seinem 18. Lebensjahr bekam er die Möglichkeit in Clubs aufzulegen und auf Grund der positiven Resonanz wurde er Resident DJ im Club Club Babylon in Istanbul. Dort brachte er die Crowd u.a. für die DJ’s  Gilles Peterson, Gotan Project, Jazzanova Live und Bugge Wesseltoft in Stimmung. Der Inhaber des renommierten New Yorker Clubs Nublu wurde auf ihn aufmerksam und stellte ihn als Resident-DJ in seinem neuen Club Nublu East in Istanbul ein. Sein dortiger Erfolg bescherte ihm weitere Gigs in den besten Clubs Istanbuls wie das Anjelique, Milli, Ghetto, Vibe und Lux.
Um sich beruflich weiter zu entwickeln absolvierte er ein Studium im Audio Engineering Programm vom SAE Institut. Während des Studiums produzierte Erahn weiterhin Musik und releaste für die Labels Phat Elefant in Amsterdam und Tenampa in Mexico. 
Seit 2012 machte sich Erhan auch mehr und mehr einen Namen in Deutschland und als ihm der Suxul_Club in Ingolstadt ein Angebot als Resident machte, beschloss Erahn nach Deutschland umzusiedeln. Hier lernte er u.a. LOPAZZ und K-Paul kennen , für die er dann auch anfing zu produzieren. Seit 2014 ist Erahn beim Berliner Label WHATIPLAY um Sascha Braemer unter Vertrag und wir dürfen gespannt auf seine weitere Entwicklung sein. 
Zur Einstimmung auf die bevorstehende Veröffentlichung von "Everyone" (Releasedate "Everyone"-EP 07.04.2014) mixte Erahn den WIP-Podcast 007, viel Spaß beim Hören!

The Holosound style has been characterized as as "warm, driving tech-house with a pinch of electro," but that truly only tells part of the story. Holosound's rich, immersive sound creates a vibe which is as well-suited for urban summer rooftops as it is for gritty late-night caverns. And goddamn, is this mix the perfect example of just that. This is chillin' on a whole new level.

Electricano - Magic Desert

Craig Morrison & Graeme Reedie, aka Silicone Soul, return with another selection of superb remixes of tracks from their 2009 self-titled album 'Silicone Soul'. The pair have looked to artists and producers that have touched and impressed them with their work, and the previous two remix EP's have seen the likes of Masomenos, Ripperton, Jet Project, Marc Poppcke, Jairo Catelo, Bearweasel and Master-H all lend their skills to rework tracks from the highly acclaimed long player.

First up on this latest selection and getting to grips with 'Dogs of Les Ilhes' are the genial Hamburg duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse. Taking the thoughtful original KT, whilst giving us a dreamy and dramatic opening,  their mix broadens into a deep driver that works brilliantly, matching its twisted bassline to its snarling synths.

Madrid based Prompt works his magic on 'David Vincent's Blues'. A steady, groovesome opening kicks up a gear as the originals jazzy elements begin to drop. Flute, soft keys and cymbal crashes pave the way for the trippy guitar line in the break. Extra funk is injected for the final third to round out a fantastic rework.

 From Spain to France now as Nhar remixes 'Midnite Man', creating a beautifully warm and deep yet equally dramatic version. Swirling sounds and lush melodies are enhanced by the glowing buzz of the electro-tinged bassline.

Closing this EP are the German duo Nadja Lind and Helmut Ebritsch aka Klartraum, who deliver a second revision of 'David Vincent's Blues'. Their trademark fluid, deep and dubby techno is at work here, giving the original a more sinister edge.

Overall another excellent remix package from an excellent artist album. If you are a fan, don't forget to check out the guys latest 'Darkroom Dubs Vol.2' compilation too!

Kaltehand / Natasha Waters are a duo from Switzerland and play some huge, sombre and mysterious pop. Their music is a sibylline animal, a nebulous beast that grows inside you, little by little, and which leads you deep into a forest of tall, gigantic trees old in years and in the stories they tell. Black magic stalks in the flamboyant obscurity of Natashas voice. She becomes a powerful and evocative presence. A brand of electro pop that recalls PJ Harvey and Portishead. The EP on Hive Audio, Pages/ Left, contains two perfect remixes by EWAN PEARSON and MANUEL MORENO. There is nothing more need to say.

To kick start the celebrations of a formidable ten years of their Darkroom Dubs imprint, Silicone Soul's Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie present the first of in a line of several very special releases and events scheduled in for early 2013. 'Darkroom Dubs Vol.3 - Compiled & Mixed by Silicone Soul' is a retrospective which charts some of the many highlights from the label over the course of the past few years, since the release of Darkroom Dubs Vol. 2 in April 2010.
First appearing on Scotland's seminal Soma label in 1998, DJ-production duo Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie, aka Silicone Soul, have occupied a special place in the over-crowded field of electronic dance music, mainly through the depth and quality of their recordings plus innate understanding of music's grand heritage and its constant development. They have released four critically acclaimed albums, gained residencies at some of Europe’s most celebrated clubs, scooped numerous DJ Mag nominations, stormed the UK charts and launched their own label, Darkroom Dubs in 2003.
The label's elevation above normal dance music concerns is personified by the fact that each release has carried Dracula author Bram Stoker's infamous words, "I am beginning to feel this nocturnal existence tell on me. It is destroying my nerve. I start at my own shadow and am full of all sorts of horrible imaginings...".A short video collage of still-startling silent movie surrealism has been produced to mark the tenth anniversary, further underlining the Darkroom Dubs ethos that the deep, the weird and the timelessly cool have been co-existing with organic ferocity over the last decade.
Emerging from the ethereal space echoes and cosmic reverb of compilation opener “One Thing (Ghost FX),” filters through a quote from Flight of the Phoenix,“I think a man only needs one thing in life and that’s someone to love, if you can’t give him that, give him something to hope for, if you can’t give him that, then just give him something to do.” The mix then glides off into the minimal sounds of Of Norway’s “Blot Ditt Eige Lam (Frisvold & Lindbaek Remix)” and beyond. Over the course of the mix we’re expertly navigated through a slew of tracks oozing with soothing, melodic deepness, carefully blending special cuts like Terje Saether’s “Scared” and Los Suruba’s dubbed out remix of AFFKT's “Fail Fast” into the understated build of Patlac’s retake of “The Woods” by Danza Macabra.The mix then rises into Alex Niggemann & Marc Poppcke’s “Keep It On” and Freska’s delicious “Honey From Within” before ending with two perfect examples of exactly what Silicone Soul, moreover the Darkroom Dubs imprint, does best: deep electronic music.

For many years Re:Fresh Your Mind (R|Y|M) has been a pillar of subcultural development in the Rhine-Main area and on a national level mainly focusing on event organization. Though the events have expended lately not only in Frankfurt but also on a national level due to its musical diversity and generally speaking because of its openness towards changes in the scene.  Understandably Re:Fresh Your Mind is conceived as a platform for a subcultural exchange between artists and music lovers initiated by SKAI and his Re:Fresh family, which include a few well respected DJs. With the label-launch of R|Y|M Records earlier this year Re:Fresh Your Mind-basis enhanced its reputation in the scene and takes another step in its development. Therefore, Frankfurt based SKAI teamed up with Gorge, who is well respected for his solo-productions and of course his works with Nick Curly. You never know what to expect next, but be sure it won't be anything you can be certain about when talking about R|Y|M - Re:Fresh Your Mind.
