Born: 6 November 1971 in Queens, NYC, USA.

Joey Beltram is widely acknowledged as a leading innovator in the early development of underground dance music.

Joey began DJing as a hobby back in 1983 at the age of 13 playing mostly early electro and hip-hop. He made the switch to house music in 1985 when the first wave of Chicago house hit NYC that same year.

In 1989 he started releasing some of his early productions on several small New York record labels whilst he was working as a courier. A year later he caught the eye of R & S Records in Belgium and by mid 1990 released his first major record with that company titled "Energy Flash". Beltram soon followed with some equally impressive releases.
All through the 90's he has created some of the most timeless music on some of the most cutting edge labels of the decade. 
The flyer is from the 04.10.1991 at Quartier Berlin.

Myler brought an incredible track in "Androgheda" to Variance. So we decided to get some incredible remixers in to interpret it. Paul Birken, Keepsakes, Mael & 1.125.X1 do the business with 4 undeniably destructive tracks.

Myler - Androgheda (Paul Birken Remix)

Mit der EP “Stay” begeben sich 959er & Nomi Solo auf ein akustisches Abenteuer, inspiriert von World Music, Chill Out und Down Tempo. Das Ergebnis ist Dümpeltechno vom Feinsten! 

Der Opening-Track “Stay” wird von einem wabernden Synthie getragen, der mitreißt, ohne dick aufzutragen. Seine technoide Abstammung bemerkt man spätestens durch das Einsetzen der Kickdrum. In der Mitte des Tracks kommt Gänsehautstimmung auf, verursacht durch ein harmonisches Flöten-Thema und dem immer wiederkehrenden Vocal. Abgerundet wird das Stück mit fein eingesetzten Percussions und einem dezenten Summen.

“Am Morgen nach einer durchtanzten Nacht” ist der Auftakt zum zweiten Titel der EP. “Carong” lädt ein zu einer Reise, begleitet von einer klaren Orgel und deepem Synthie-Sound. Sie führt auf einem langen Bogen zum eigentlichen Thema, welches durch sein ausgewogenes Gitarrenspiel besticht. Der Einsatz von traditionellen Shakern und die eingängige Bassline machen den Sound rund und schaffen eine Atmosphäre, die “wieder, und immer wieder” zum Träumen verleitet.

“Listen” wählt eine schnellere Gangart, die das Stück absolut clubtauglich macht. Es schöpft Kraft aus der treibenden Bassline und dem orchestral anmutenden Synthie. Der rollende Charakter wird durch das Zusammenspiel gezielter Rhythmuselemente verstärkt. Nicht zuletzt die dynamischen Steeldrums verleihen dem Stück seinen ganz eigenen Charakter. 

“Jenny” ist das sphärische Schlusswort der EP. Durch das Wechselspiel der langgezogenen Keys und der Gitarrenriffs geraten, mit Hilfe von viel Delay, die Gedanken ins Schweifen. Wieder sind es die präzise inszenierten Percussions, die den Titel einmalig machen. Der Track kommt ohne richtige Bassline aus, das schafft Raum und durch den melancholischen Vocal wandern die Gedanken weiter und weiter.


959er & Nomi Solo - Carong

In 1996 Paul Birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth 'Surfin Superior' double 12" on Woody McBride's Communique label. This was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. Now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2. 
Nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as Birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding Techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.

“Danny took a dark, scary track and made it really tough, tougher than tough, like if Conan the Barbarian was battling Demonbane over a mountain of humanity’s corpses … and it’s dancey.” - Marc Houle

Due to the length of the Double EP we were not able to include D2 “Bittersweet” in the digital download package because of the file size limit of 500MB. We chose quality over quantity and decided to go with simple WAV files instead of MP3 or any other proprietary file format.

Hä? ahja ok!

Deine Anlage sollte was können , sonst drückt dat nich!!!

Stephan Strube - Keine Ahnung wie der Track heissen soll (Minupren Remix)

\\The CAST Project is a collaboration of fine artists, where there is no original track to start and there are no remixes.

Our concept is aside from the traditional original/remix format. The intent is to give artists an opportunity to go outside what may be expected of them, so as not to be "pigeon holed" and only concentrate on pure musical creativity.

The way it works:

We gather 4 artists per CAST release. Each artist provides audio samples, whether generated by machines or from the field, which best defines their current sound palette. These sounds are created specifically for a CAST release and are not used in further productions.

We collect the sounds from each artist and redistribute them in total to the artists, at which point they create a unique track, which is labeled as a CAST.

Everything you hear is specific to CAST. Come have a listen.//
