MARK E "Call Me" (Tensnake Remix)

- The lastest full-length effort from LA-based synth mastermind JOHN TEJADA
- An unabashedly dreamy collection of 11 expertly crafted cuts that rank among the artist's best work to date
- 2xLP edition pressed on 180gr audiophile vinyl, including a CD of the entire album

Following his much-acclaimed full-length „The Predicting Machine“ (KOMPAKT 267 CD 102) and a slew of pop-infused 12“ singles - „We Can Pretend“ (KOMPAKT 286) and „Somewhere“ (KOMPAKT 264) -, LA-based synth mastermind JOHN TEJADA returns with new album SIGNS UNDER TEST: comprised of all-new material, this latest effort sees the studio wizard digging deeper into his modules, unearthing particularly dreamy tracks that rank among John's most accomplished work to date.

From the get-go, SIGNS UNDER TEST presents itself as a whole new ball of wax, reaching even further into the depths of JOHN TEJADA's hot-wired synth machinery, while cranking up the already stunning levels of musicality on display in his oeuvre. Opener TWO 0 ONE serves as a prime example for the sonic aplomb in place, thanks to its beautifully rendered melodies and finely tuned textures – a perfect storm made of cosy melancholy and celestial bliss. This expertly wrought piece serves as a particularly strong entry point for the album, setting the bar high for its successors.

An unabashedly brilliant listen, the album continues its thrilling journey with existential bleepfest Y 0 WHY and the bass-heavy BEACHT, followed by the intricately arpeggiated R.U.R. and brooding electronica vignette VAALBARA. The second part is ringed in by the undulating CRYPTOCHROME - another proof for JOHN TEJADA's uncanny ability to craft tracks that operate as distinguished bouncers as well as introspective meditations. The deliberate vivacity of connecting cuts RUBRIC and PENUMBRA only confirms the growing suspicion that this might be a timeless masterpiece we're dealing with.

As gorgeous as it sounds, texture isn't the only star here: a surprisingly diverse set of rhythm patterns suffuses the mesmerizing synth licks - take for example the multilayered ENDORPHINS effortlessly switching between straight techno stylings and vintage breakbeat ornaments. Meanwhile, electronic landscape painting MEADOW purrs away on its road to redemption, priming the listener for closing cut HEAVE IN SIGHT, an atmospherically rich composition that marries abstract storytelling with a flurry of reversed synth sounds.

„There's a bit more dreamy tape wobble going on throughout“, says the producer about his latest effort, „as I’ve gone quite analog tape with my delays and patches - on the verge of actually being broken, which gives them a nice character.“ It also might explain the air of intimacy surrounding the album - a quite personal listening experience taking the listener up close with its details and idiosyncracies, „maybe even more than before, as I’ve tried to cut out distractions and really focus on the production.“
The result is a record that is not meant to be trendy, even though it’s a product of analog hardware connoisseurship: „Everything is built from the ground up using hardware synths - mostly analog, but that’s a bit annoying to say nowadays. It’s not a record that fits in with any current stuff, but something that hopefully holds up as it ages. Something that hopefully reveals more on repeated listens.“ In our humble opinion, this mission has been more than accomplished with SIGNS UNDER TEST.

- 12“ & Bonus CD in Special Packaging – sealed full cover, sold together as one product. 
- The new Annual Label Compilation with 16 Exclusive tracks.
- 5 tracks are vinyl only and 11 tracks CD only.

After last year’s successful ‘Deep Love 10’ compilation Dirt Crew now bring yet another massive collection of exclusive tracks by label residents and new faces. ‘Deep Love 15’ is packed with outstanding new releases that vary from the deep grounds of house to the underground sides of techno and disco.

Releasing the entire 16 tracks across a five-track EP and bonus 11 track CD (sold as one product) the compilation splits and stretches itself across all formats. The five vinyl tracks are all more towards the deep house side. Funk and soul laden grooves with main house heads ‘Brame & Hamo’ and ‘Nachtbraker’ starting off on the A-side, both tracks showing their signature sound written all over. The third track is by label newbies ‘Homework’ from Amsterdam who Dirt Crew know from their great outings on ‘Exploited’ and most recently ‘Let’s Play House’, as well as studio neighbours of ‘Detroit Swindle’ and kind of part of the family already. The B-side is by the UK act ‘Voyeur’ who made a good name for themselves already with their release on Kerri Chandler’s ‘Madhouse’ label. Their track ‘The Long Way Home’ is truly one of the highlights of this compilation, with it’s jazzy and classic sounding house approach. To close off we have the Berlin based Spanish brothers ‘Kyodai’ taking over, with a true journey of a track they go way deep into the house and techno regions, instant goosebumps when you hear this on a big system!

Over to the CD, the music covers all genres and it was a challenge to fit them all together in one nice package. We start off with a couple of new heads, on the first tracks. ‘Laurence Guy’ teamed up with ‘Harry Wolfman’, both from the UK and both on Dirt Crew HQ’s watch list for quite a while, they make that great mix of funky and jazzy sounds with a hint of disco. Next is the mysterious ‘Soul of Hex’ from Mexico who just recently released their first 12” (one member here is ‘Sebastien Vorhaus’ who just released an EP on Dirt Crew together with ‘Ponty Mython’). We also have ‘Loz Goddard’ among these first few tracks, he will be doing a full EP later this year with ‘Harry Wolfmann’ on Dirt Crew - so a lot of collaborations coming up between all these guys. One thing they all have in common is a very fresh twist to the current house genre.

‘Kito Jempere’, ‘Downtown Party Network’ and ‘Waifs & Strays vs PBR Streetgang’ need no introduction. All have made brilliant releases over the last few years and all have one thing in common, a love for disco and deep grooves, ‘Kito’ of course is the jazz man here, his crazy twists and unique sounds make all of his tracks very special. The American side of the Dirt Crew family is also represented by LA based ‘Edit Murphy’ and ‘Rhythm Operator’. Both have a very old schoolish approach to their music and both tracks could well have come from an obscure early 90s Chicago twelve. Having made an excellent album last year on Steffi’s ‘Dolly’ imprint with ‘Will Martin’, Bostonian ‘John Barrera’ closes the CD with a blistering Detroit techno cut. Lastly DC of course had to feature a track by Belfast lads ‘Schmutz’ who released their first EP on Dirt Crew in January. Their unique dark twisting techno sound is just like no other, distorted but always with that warm underground house feeling to it.

So there we have it. Deep Love 15. 16 brand new and exclusive tracks across three formats, showcasing just where Dirt Crew is in 2015. Keepin’ it underground!

Following on from the success of their 'Home' remix for label owners Icarus, Humans & Machines return with two stunning underground cuts for Fly Boy Records.

The lead track 'Push' is a slick, brooding piece with punchy chord stabs breaking the enveloping atmospheres. Punctuated with a solid house drum groove, precise percussion and a glorious low end, this is true peak time bliss!

Nothing Else Matters is a little more sinister, to say the least. A classic techno weapon at it's finest. This one just works!

The Animal Planet is a follow up to Downtown Party Network’s last year’s debut on Best Kept Secret – The Machine Man EP, which sold out in a matter of a few weeks. This one is a dance floor killer of no less proportions. Taken from a recently released Silence Please! compilation, presented by Get Physical Music, and mixed by Best Kept Secret’s head honcho Vidis, Crazy Cow Bell and Owls Don’t Cry are two best selling tracks from the album. Release your inner animal.

I was once again in my funky basement tonight @Casa d'Amore and I thank my friends for the new PA. Sounds great!

I was digging in the crates and played some old tunes I like - vinyl only for the house heads. Please excuse if it scratches a bit sometimes. The most important thing: it was fun! House music all night long!
