Nhoj Smada - Tracks, Remixes, Dj-Sets

That Holland is not only known for hardcore and bigroom trance quickly became clear in the noughties of the new millennium, when a new generation of producers around the labels Intacto, Remote Area/Area Remote shot new minimalist house and techno onto the dancefloors.
The new Sound of Amsterdam was born. With the new EP on Sirion Records we welcome David Labeij again.

Hollow Nights
The title track Hollow Nights with its acid bassline, a subliminal drum pattern, synths and percussion drips along comfortably and hypnotically. The listener is offered wobbling sound structures, spherical realms and travel back and forth.
Nhoj Smada's remix focuses on a percussive and broken foundation. The beautifully resonating 303 bassline paired with the hypnotic synth elements, pushes the journey of the original a bit more.

Vintage la Beige
Vintage la beige is a dancefloor oriented, but equally hypnotic track to kick off a long, long club night.
Mike Machine puts his own stamp on the original with a dubby, hypnotic touch, revealing that a true connoisseur was at work.
The second remix was penned by Frieda's Büxe residents Valentino and Henry Sure. Minimal in the basic structure, deliberately peppered with synth elements and effects, the two are very close to the original new Sound of Amsterdam of the noughties.

Iconic
The dubby tune Iconic with resonating, hypnotic synths, vocal splitter and playful bassline seems very frisky and always interesting due to the unconventionally used percussive elements.
Balance pulls a beautifully drawn-out bassline out of the hat with his remix, which allows only few little breathers by the occasional breaks and could run on endlessly.

Vonk
The track Vonk, which rounds off the EP, grooves skillfully in the lower frequency range. The synth bass "Vonk" playful and dark and kicks the dancers wonderfully through a room interspersed with smoke and light effects.

spacebox720 has been immersed in analog created soundscapes for many years. Be it as a tinkerer as well as a live act. Whether ambient, dubby house stories or warm house sounds, the sound aesthetic and groove are always unmistakable.
With the three original tracks Rise up, Reflections and Perpetuum Mobile, Sandro Ambrosi ventures this time into the realms of classic Dubtechno. With a lot of flair, he manages to skillfully break up the structures of the genre with a lot of surface elements and infinite space.
With remixes from France's dubhouse/techno guarantor Upwellings, our longtime friend Pawas from Berlin, the super talented KlangDruide from Bern and Sirion's Nhoj Smada, the boundaries shift once again with additional genres.

Nhoj Smada - Such A Lonely Time

Dutchman David Labeij is releasing his second EP on Sirion, after having already remixed Mike Machine's "Joker" on Sirion in 2011.
The two original tracks bear David's unique signature and skillfully move between deep, minimalist house landscapes, dubtechno and hypnotic synthesizer elements.
What starts off as classic dubtechno with the obligatory distinctive dub chords develops into an interesting potpourri served up with piano elements and synths over the course of the track "Rhea".
The funk-inspired bassline gives the deep house track "Daphnis" a solid foundation. Various hypnotic synthesizer elements and dubby stabs unfold their full potential over the course of the song and give it the typical Labeij attitude.
The different remixes were created by Quenum and Masaya from the French-speaking part of Switzerland. They are complemented by fitting interpretations from Mike Machine from Zurich and Sirion's Nhoj Smada.
