Electronic Trax 2024 (Part 3)

The second track is produced by the talented Filipino artist Saint Guel. An artist to keep an eye on him. 
Miguel Santiago aka Saint Guel basks in dance music — his being distinctly warm and clean-cut. The Filipino DJ/producer started behind the decks at 15 and tinkered with personal production two years after. Since 
then, he’s carefully carving his corner: an altogether irresistibly groovy one. Across his recent releases, “Still Life” (More Rice Records / Thailand) and “Over and Over / For The Floor” (Transit Records / Philippines) are easily breaking through as foreseeable dance floor bangers post-pandemic. Perhaps it’s him soaking up the Manila nightlife, his frequent pilgrimage across international festivals or his inherent taste and thirst for warbling world. Whatever it is, it’s looking like everyone is here for it. 

For FuFu Records, He produced a beautifully arranged over eight minutes, Saint Guel’s ‘Caught Up’ is pure rhythmic bliss. The crisp drums and bassline, steady and unyielding, coax you into motion. The ethereal vocals 
sit perfectly over the instrumental, cutting through the entire song. Altogether, you start feeling untethered by gravity, and, for a moment, feel like you’ll just float off.”

——

After successful launched of the compilation series, with the support of many international atists like Move D, Soichi Terada, Kamma & Masalo, Camion Bazar, Yoshi Horino, Merve, Chida, Yu Su…

Saint Guel - Caught Up

With Multiply Your Absurdities, Helena Hauff delivers her long-awaited 12-inch debut on Tresor: a multi-colored inauguration, masterfully crafted by the inimitable Hamburg producer and DJ.

The title track Multiplying My Absurdities opens the record, with a slow burn of magnetic synths and numbing acid drops. Through its simple yet thrilling dynamics, it occasionally falls into playful skepticism, creating something truly unique, uncompromised, and beautiful.

Punks in the Gym is named after an infamous climbing route in Australia. As its namesake, the track mercilessly rises to a techno summit.
It gets steeper and steeper with every bar, resembling a volcanic dance where 303 earthquakes shake the ground before eruptions. 
Once you're halfway in, there's no turning back; all you can do is keep moving forward. 

The closing track, Humanoid Fruit, transports to an even darker prehistoric landscape. Synths bursts remind of fossilized Pterodactyls revived—a challenging but rewarding trip through acidic rain and the alleys of your mind. 

Originally released as the soundtrack for Teslaism by artist and filmmaker Bahar Noorizadeh, a 3rd person musical racing game featuring Elon Musk and his self-driving car/lover and life coach, as they drive towards a shareholder meeting in a post-gamified Berlin landscape. It premiered at the "Tresor 31: Techno, Berlin und die große Freiheit" exhibition in 2022 and deals with stimulating skepticism about the emergence of a new era after Post-fordism that she calls Teslaism: "an upgrade to the system of production and consumption predicated on advanced storytelling, financial worldbuilding, and imagineering 'the look of the future.'" What has been once inspired by Helena Hauff's dystopian sound has now been made into an official music video for the track.

Much like the video, Multiply Your Absurdities represents a journey into futuristic uncertainty.

Label founder Mark Gavrikow presents *"Body2Body"*, his debut release, delivering a powerful tribute to the energy of the dancefloor.

The A-side is a driving mix of UK influences and the hard, percussive sounds of the classic CLR Schranz era. Drum-heavy and full of energy, it's perfect for peak-time sets.

The B-side reveals a different side: more housey, dubby, and infused with warm chords, deep grooves, and hypnotic acid, offering the perfect balance between functionality and depth.

Release Date : November 1st, 2024

DS Premiere: Mark Gavrikow - AUFNAHME 002 [HFM01]

She was lonely as she strolled amongst the city streets. The sound of shutters rolling as shopfronts were closed for the evening, the honk of horns as people whizzed between traffic lights in the hope of beating the rush hour on the freeway. There was fog in the air, there often was around this time of year as the nights became colder and the evenings darker.

Billboards illuminated the street corners. Some looked up mesmerised by the bright array of dazzling colours as they flashed and flickered. Things people didn't want or need but would come to acquire anyway. That's the way the world worked right?

She was often lonely, from time to time she'd find a shadow or a friend which might be something to hold on to. But no sooner than they were there they would be gone.

Lis Sarroca releases a new EP via Smallville Records - a delicately poised collection of house music and breaks with the usual class associated with the label.

Snad is back on Smallville. 
Shyam Anand is a long-term friend of Smallville and an MPC wizard with a wide-open heart. We are super happy to finally present a 12“ that is fully his own. 
After an amazing contribution to Smallville 49 (check out Excerptz!), Snad aka Spandrel aka Shyam Anand presents a full 3-tracker on Smallville, packed with his irrisistible grooves, the usual unexpected twists and an overall magical atmosphere. Growing up near Philadelphia, then moving to Chicago and later exploring the global underground scenes of Berlin and Mexico City, among others, Snad is a busy man. He runs his own imprint Spandrel, co-runs We R The Aliens and has an impressive back-catalogue of contributions for several favourites like Running Back, Courtesy of Balance, Kimochi, Long Vehicle, 20:20 Vision, Phonica and many more.
On this 12" the A side belongs solely to Bubblescope - 14 and a half minutes of mesmerizing Ensoniq DP/4 Vocoder driven modular spheres, an endlessly deep bubbling piece of art that builds an intense feeling that could last for hours.
The B side sees Snad staying deep – Lukewarm Lava explores the broken beat world before taking you on a ride. The beloved B2-spot goes to Tanni - an integral part of Julius' warmup-sets since forever and thus a special one to finally put on wax.

Bubblescope comes with a Full Cover Artwork by Stefan Marx.
