Germany’s Tilman inaugurates his new imprint Pleasant Systems this June with the ‘Adventures’ EP, featuring collaborations with Will Buck and Rhode & Brown. Mainz, Germany based producer and DJ Tilman has been dropping his twist on contemporary house over the past decade on labels such as Shall Not Fade, Life Is For Living and Quality Vibes as well as his own Fine imprint, run in collaboration with Johannes Albert. Here though, Tilman marks a new beginning with the launch of Pleasant Systems, a new imprint designed to shine a light on vintage inspired house sounds from both himself and friends. Up first is ‘What’s Mine Is Mine’, a collaboration with Brooklyn’s Will Buck which lays down an amalgamation of airy synth pads, choppy bass stabs, bright piano lines and enchanting flute like melodies atop a swinging drum groove. ‘Strawberry Fields’ follows, stripping things back to shuffled percussion, billowing ethereal textures and wandering sub bass tones while fluttering brass tones and resonant leads ebb and flow within. ‘Velvet Park’ opens the flip side, this time joining forces with Rhode & Brown, embracing a classic sound with raw crunchy drums, delayed piano chords, bumpy bass stabs, cinematic strings and brass hooks throughout. ‘Lovin'’ then rounds out the release, dropping the tempo, featuring the voice of Tilman himself and laying focus on off-kilter organic percussion, twinkling resonant tones, eighties tinged synth chords and g funk moog style bass to perfectly conclude Pleasant System’s debut...

PREMIERE: Tilman - Don't We Know Each Other

We Gotta Do It

Tilman - A Source (Three Times Mix) (OFF008)

Tilman returns to Off Track with a four-tracker for ostensible dancefloor pleasure, but our ears can confirm it goes further to sate the home-listeners' predilections too. Continuing the verve of his old skool 90s garage-intoned releases on his very own Pleasant Systems label, Tilman's newest spans dreamatics, whorling deep stabs and saturated toppers; with just the right ratio of sizzle, body and booty to make for a full collective somatic ecstasy.

PREMIERE: Tilman - Footwork (w/ Will Buck) [Off Track]

Tilman @ Bürro Mainz, April 13th 2024

inex016

Forevermore

Pleasant Systems label head Tilman returns to his own stable with the full length „The Spirit Continues“ for ostensible dancefloor pleasure.
Since 2008, the German producer Tilman has been honing his craft in House music through numerous EP’s on various respected labels and here we see him deliver his fourth long player. Taking influence from 80s NYC proto-garage and Nu Groove’s era of deep house Tilman creates a collection of works which encapsulate the essence of his sound and history with House music over the past two decades, embracing a raw yet dreamy aesthetic throughout.
Across the ten tracks Tilman employs sturdy, jacking rhythm sections, ethereal atmospherics, bumpy bass lines, shimmering chord sequences, infectious vocals and enchanting top lines culminating in somatic ecstasy.

Nephews Ft. Retromigration - Saucin (Tilman Remix) (Apér'House)

Off Track Recordings offers its debut release with four ready-for-the-floor house tracks from Brooklyn DJ/Producer, Will Buck. The A side opens with a thumping piano house groove and continues with "Checkin' You Out," a disco loop filtered to perfection. The B side starts with a drum-heavy DJ tool, "Possessed," which gets a silky deep house remix from Mainz-based tracksmith, Tilman. A solid EP, sure to bring sunshine into dark times, marks the start of an exciting new label.

Tilman steps up for the first record on Shall Not Fade’s new ‘Seasons Series’ imprint. The coloured vinyl sub-label pairs music associated with the season of release with the coloured vinyl that fits with that season. 001 due for release in summer season features laid back hazy synth patterns and groove ridden drum sequences, served up on a stunning blue marbled vinyl, just like the sky on a luscious summers day.

City Refund EP (Promo)

Premiere | Tilman - Got Something Special (FINE14)

A lover of samples, synths, and drum machines, German prodigy Tilman is the latest artist to whip up an electrifying mix for Traxsouce LIVE!
 
Tilman’s sound came to fruition around 2005 when he started building on his love for House, Soul, Disco, and Funk reminiscent of the early days. Soon his own music spoke for itself; Footjob, Shall Not Fade, Moment Cinetique, Fine, and his very own Klamauk all became home for his releases, and clubs around Europe quickly started requesting that special Tilman vibe.⁠⠀
 
Most recently, his all-new LP United Scrips has been at the forefront of his artistic vision. Releasing with Shall Not Fade the project is already proving a great success and explores all things deep and pumpin’ - whilst honing his signature sound. Expect dubby drum sequences and funky chord progressions that generate a tantalizing groove. Trust us, this one’s a must-have.⁠⠀
 
For Traxsource LIVE! Tilman keeps it different. Hit play and a mixture of classic and forward-thinking sounds will ensue. Think Emjay, Hardrive, Eve Gallagher, Tracer, Mark Seven, Yellow Sox, and more - combined into a high-quality, carefully considered, and perfectly executed mix of the greatest magnitude. Enjoy.

20+ countries, 80+ radio networks and 10 million+ weekly listeners can’t be wrong. Keep it Traxsource. Keep it underground.
