Deep Concentration: The Grey Area mix 




The Grey Area mix is a collection of celebral minimalism from which is a speciality of Robert Hood.   Never before has there been an illustration of the many values of "grey" within the genre we call Minimal.
While Minimal is now a sound all on its own which varies from region to region, deep concentration takes you through the mind of one of it's pioneers for a close analysis of this particular variation. The Grey Area.

- unofficial mix released on CDR hand signed and numbered exclusively via RubaDub in 2008. 

BOOMKAT REVIEW:
*Individually numbered and signed copies - Rob Hood at his absolute deepest. 300 copies only for the world!!!* Original minimal master Robert Hood follows up his essential Fabric set from earlier this year with an exclusive and insanely limited mix CD drawing for a specialized run of purified Detroit/Berlin deep and dubby techno. The Grey Area title refers to Rob's vision of Detroit techno and electronic music as the sound that occupied the forgotten zones of Detroit, the areas that became utilised for warehouse parties back in the day, and still humm and whirr with the timeless sound of technology long after the actual heavy indutry has gone. There's a soulfully longing thread tying the tracks together, from the opening anonymous tracks to Maurizio's 'M4.5' and on into previously unobserved depths with a slew of exclsuive and unreleased M-Plant style killers this is eactly the kind of selection that has won Mr. Hood a legion of devoted fans across the world, and has massively influenced the sound of the scene's biggest clubs, with Dettmann and Klock's brand of stripped but powerful techno house owing a massive debt to his sound. We're struggling to name many of the tracks here which is one of the best features of this mix, it's so fresh much of it hasn't even seen the light of day yet but we'd be massively grateful if any of the keener ears out there (or Hood himself) would like to send us a tracklist! Especially track 14, or 17, or 21, what the f**k are they?! If the Fabric mix left you asking for something that little bit deeper and nastier you can't sleep on this righteous mix. ESSENTIAL PURCAHSE!

Robert Hood - Deep Concentration: The Grey Area mix

STUDIO is proud to announce Massimiliano Pagliara as its first resident. The Italian artist's lithe, soaring sonics fuse lush, cosmic house with driving 4x4 cross pollinations, all sealed with a throbbing undercurrent. A set from Pagliara transports you to the heavens; his ear for truly beautiful melodies plays against wiggly acid, interwoven diva vocals and naughty tribal rhythms. This mix sees him in peak form. Not a moment is wasted, and Pagliara dives headfirst into crystalline waters of pure joy.

BASEMENT 006 - Massimiliano Pagliara

Echoes hum, bodies moving.
This is true spirit of Breakfast Club, unfolding.


Ogazón: "This set felt like a homecoming — warm, familiar, and charged with energy. The familiar faces and unwavering support are something I don’t experience anywhere else, and that drives me to perform at my absolute best. But the real magic? Locking into an effortless groove from the very start while playing alongside a legend like Marcel. That was the cherry on top: a true highlight I won’t be forgetting anytime soon."

Marcel Dettmann: "Playing at Breakfast Club in the early morning is always a unique experience — the people there are musically open, ready for experimentation, and come with a certain expectation: they want to be taken on a journey. What made this set special was the combination of Ogazón and me. I think we had a great feel for the moment, for the groove and the tension. The energy was electrifying."

Ryan Elliott @ Awakenings Festival (June 27, 2015)

"Back in the second room, the undisputed set of the night was beginning. Werkdiscs and Lux Rec favourite Helena Hauff took over from Objekt and from the second she stepped up, commanded the floor, delivering an absolute monster of a set that showed us exactly why she’s been on the receiving end of so much widespread praise recently.

Grubby, distorted techno, dark and dingy EBM, knackered, brutal electro and rancid acid were all stitched together with impeccable skill as she kept us moving like a crowd possessed. The Hamburg native was constantly grafting, digging records out of her bag and meshing together fresh new records with dusty hidden gems with the skill of a master selector." - - Read the full review: www.skiddle.com/news/all/Meat-Free-Presents-20-Years-of-Blueprint-review/28586

A massive MASSIVE thankyou to @Helena-Hauff for setting off Room 2 of our 20 Years of Blueprint Records event, alongside James Ruskin, Luke Slater, Regis and Objekt.

Helena Hauff - Essential Mix 2017-02-25

Each of Steffi’s three studio albums on Ostgut Ton have brought with them new musical explorations. The Dutch born Panoramabar Bar resident’s debut was a warm and classic house affair with steamy vocals. Her second in 2014 was a more techno and electro styled work that took cues from the sleek futurism of Underground Resistance. But her latest, World of The Waking State from late last year, was her most fully realised and individual yet. A deep affair with flourishes of IDM, it’s utterly emotional and intricate, with pulsing drums coloured by deft synths that flash about with a life of their own. It was a perfect continuation of the mix she served up for fabric, but this new one for us follows a different path. 

Slowly awakening from spaced out ambient, it explores kinked electro, more rugged EBM style grooves and tough, drum lead tracks that are all tied together by a sci-fi sense of atmosphere. Like everything Steffi does, it manages to pack a real punch at the same time as touching on a range of moods from melancholic to optimistic. Now over two decades into her career, Steffi remains as unpredictable and compelling as ever.
