Tiefenrausch EP

With the next and twelfth installment of Tiefenrausch the dub techno label sets foot on the new continent again. The deep sea journey is joined by San Fransisco based artist Federsen and Bran- don Moeller aka Echologist or Beat Pharmacy - who contributed a remix to the three track EP.

“The Myth EP” represents Federsen raw and analogue signature sound. Warm and distorted machine noises create the pad for minimal drum patterns, bass grooves and accentuated chord echoes. On the A-Side Federsen shows us his unique style with “Contrasts”. Brandon Moeller on the other hand contributes his own sound and rounds up the EP with dubbed interpretation of Federsens “Murmer”. The EP ends with the original version of that track.

The release is designed by Alex Ketzer who joins in for a collaboration with the illustrators Magdalena Paz and Florian Gassmann for the next releases of the Tiefenrausch label. The audio is mastered by SALZ music and the EP comes on 180g vinyl and shrink wrapped.

Tiefenrausch closes the third season of releases with an excellent and extraordinary record. On his Holmsund EP Biodub continues exploring the possibilities of dub influenced electronic music. The four tracks all represent their own special approach, while integrating perfect into the whole EP. 

The title track “Holmsund” takes you on a floating journey based on decent field recordings captured on a trip through the endless landsapes of northern Sweden. With “Udu” biodub presents a super mellow grooving track arranged around the deep sound of a pair of Udu drums. “No Tumble Down” is a stripped down dub techno track that features intense reaggae vocals sung by Ray Darwin. The closing track “Return Of The Dead Rider” is a reminiscence of the track “Dead Rider” from Biodub’s first album “Reisegefaehrte”. Syncopated  structures build up until a sweet, melancholic acoustic guitar breaks through and  carefully leads into a pumping downtempo groove and back again. Absolutely recommended!

The cover artwork was designed by Alex Ketzer who joined in for a collaboration with the illustrators Magdalena Paz and Florian Gassmann for the current releases on Tiefenrausch Records. The EP comes shrink wrapped.
