After a critically acclaimed LP on I'm A Cliché in 2014 and a string of quality EPs, edits and remixes left right and center, The Red Axes are back on Cosmo Vitelli's imprint. This is the first entry in Red Axe's Shem series on I'm a Cliché which will see the Israeli duo releasing tracks geared towards the dancefloor but always retaining the one-of-a-kind approach that it distills in all its productions.

Red Axes - Na Da (from Shem Vol.1 out Jan 27 / Feb 9)


Two very different versions of a techno soul. You can virtually feel him putting hands on knobs and twisting and bending the theme in his delicate and hypnotic way. Who ever has seen Minilogue play live this feeling is captured here by Sebastian in an authentic breathtaking way.

"Direct Experience" in its original version is an 11 minute voyage into Sebastian Mullaert's art of shifting and moving frequencies gently from one place to the other without ever loosing touch with the pulsating rhythms that carry all of it into your vein. The music is indeed trippy and demands an appreciation for a hypnotic state we happily approve of.

The Dub version on the flip side is even more loose and secluded you can feel the music not touching the ground for a bare millimeter.

For the digital release we added two remix versions by our Scottish artist Nick Dow and by Hamburgs analogue cyborg Hannes Rasmus as well as two alternative takes by Sebastian Mullaert.

Nick Dow's version is a post Detroit techno interpretation uplifting and dramatic. It has "Jupiter sounds" kicking in that give the track a touch of the "Night Of The Jaguar"!

Hannes Rasmus who has released the high acclaimed "Musik Für Fünf Machinen" on Traum moves the track towards a glitter ball of disco! Guitars are slashing and sound are clashing… Hannes at his best when he has melodies embracing themselves without any reluctance.

Opening with an irresistible beat and percussion samples along with warm analog synths on lead and bassline duties, this is a track indebted to afrojazz with an unmistakable house feeling but in Red Axes’ trademark style of course, enhanced by Abraõ, the lush portuguese crooner heard on several of the duo's previous productions for I'm a Cliché.

Red Axes - Balma (ft. Abrão)

With a solid rhythm section, Nu Mi is a track built around a groovy synth sequence, later joined by a bass guitar, layers of guitar pads that range from the melodic to the noisy along with treated samples. This ecstatic cut which always gets a positive response from the dancefloor is a prime example of Red Axes' ability to make club-ready tracks out of organic elements with superb results.

Red Axes & Zidan - Nu

There’s an underwater vibe throughout this track where tape delay, spring reverb and other vintage effects are used to treat a music box, percussion and melodies played by a variety of instruments. Just when you thought the EP could not get more dreamy or spaced out, Red Axes take it up a notch with this track which brings subtle ethnic and cosmic vibes to the dancefloor.
