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.

Bio Bird

Born  in the Swiss mountains during the early Seventies, Bird was strongly influenced through radio and his parents' collection from an early age and ultimately developed a strong fascination for music. 
Just how much music means to him, what his influences are and his developments as a DJ have already been elaborately captured in various biographies in the past and would merely lead to yet another repetition of every other DJs life. 
That Bird has spent numerous years as a DJ in clubs around Switzerlands capital, as well as a vinyl dealer and store owner of SchwarzMarktMusic and recently joined the Sirion Records Crew is nevertheless noteworthy but delivers no further insight to his person per se.  
If you want to experience Bird, then follow him to his gigs and be captured by his definition of different styles of house music, instead of reading yet another DJs bio...
