Steve Bug returns on his own label Poker Flat Recordings, with this exceptional single, Montafon. Named after and inspired by the stunning natural charms of the Austrian region, the track itself is also a thing of rare beauty.

An urgent groove lays the foundations for a track that builds and builds via a sublime synth line, drama-building arpeggios and snappy percussion. It’s got all the hallmarks of a peak time festival / open air moment, produced with that signature silky charm that is instantly recognisable as Steve’s own.

Dead End Thrills (Patrice Bäumel Remix)

After a 9 month hiatus, Diynamic Music returns with the 12th edition of its famed “Four To The Floor” EPs. The label’s very own various artist series, which is always comprised of four dancefloor-oriented tracks that have one special quality in common: they have all been heavily road tested and certified by label boss Solomun on his countless gigs all over the world. 

Opening the record is “Monster” by Matthew Dear, his personal ode to the kickdrum. His eldritch voice almost turns into a haunting spiritual ceremony by singing eerie chants and entrancing phrases.
Up next is “Reaktor” by ELAX, an artist you have never heard from before, because it is a new moniker of Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize. This hypnotizing anthem would be the best possible soundtrack for the worst possible nuclear meltdown.
The third track comes from Denis Horvat and is called “Madness Of Many”, a gloomy melodic Techno track for those late hours at the club. 
Closing off the 12th instalment of “Four To The Floor” are Animal Picnic & Novakk with “Khokana”. Their contribution to the record is a driving and dreamy Deep House tune, certain to provide for closed eyes and raised hands on dancefloors everywhere.

PART II: fourtwotwentytwenty

Torture the Artist celebrates its 5th anniversary with the release of 'fivefourtwentytwentyone', a compilation compiled and mixed by the webzine-founder himself, Holger Breuer, who gathered together 17 exclusive tracks from artists that either have a record or relationship with the online magazine. 'fivefourtwentytwentyone', a numerical and literal abreviation for '5 for TTA', musically varies between Deep House and Disco, it makes an excursion to melodic and more techno-ish takes, it contains edits of current Indie/ Alternative but also Pop-artists and provides its audience with unreleased material from and of scene-heavyweights. The result is an eclectic mix that delivers several approaches to (electronic) music carefully and skillfully put together in a continuous mix that represents Torture the Artist's philosophy, namely that of offering various (mainly melodical) styles of music to its listeners from renowned as well as talented and uprising artists.

'fivefourtwentytwentyone' is released in four parts containing four tracks while each track is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD exclusively via Torture the Artist' Soundcloud-channel. The download-link for the 17th and last track, is unlocked to those who solve a riddle as each of the previously released parts will provide you with a hint.

PART II: fourtwotwentytwenty
The second part of Torture the Artist's 5th anniversary compilation 'fivefourtwentytwenty' comes with tracks/ edits from Amplitudes, Daniel Bortz, Valiete and Santiago Garcia and  are summed up under the code 'fourtwotwentytwenty', meaning 4 days until 2020. Augsburg iconic artist Daniel Bortz, known for his releases on Permanent Vacation, TAU, Pastamusik or Exit Strategy, probably delivers the most timeless take of the compilation, namely 'Take My Hand'. And it does not get any deeper than that – a classic bass line, paradisiac chords and a vocal that takes the listener (back) to sweaty underground clubs of NY in the 90s. 'Take My Hand' is followed by Amplitudes' 'Cognitive Shift', the first track of the duo, consisting of Philipp Harms and Marc Wolf, ever. Just like Bortz Amplitudes follow a stringent deep sound scheme but turn their approach into a rather mental on-going jam that uses warm deep chords to shortly break with the melancholia before coming back to it their initially introduced idea. Noveau Frankfurter Valiete takes on one of the tracks of 2019, more precisely Valiete reworks Billie Eilish's track 'Bad Guy' into a rave monster with a dub/techno touch that smoothly balances the amount of hard-hitting whipping hi-hats and a catchy chord and vocal. Lastly it's Santiago Garcia who got his hands on Âme's 'Give Me Your Ghost' and delivers the anthem of the compilation. A mellow melodically construct combined with Jens Kuross' vocals divided into three acts almost resembles the build-up of a classical drama with Santiago being the author of this outstanding play that is now ready to be presented to the world.
