Tone Of Arc - Soundsail (Deniz Kurtel Remix)

Keinemusik Workparty Four
Release: 20.11.2013

A1: David Mayer - Machinedrum Calypso
A2: &ME - Think
B1: Adam Port - Burana
B2: Rampa - AY

So there we are. Teenage years are over, the wild times are still ahead, though. Keinemusik turns twenty – all hands in the air! In celebration of this biographical moment of glory the whole crew is circling up in brotherly and sisterly embrace. Make an high-angle shot, what does it look like? Like a ring of course. So therefore youʼll find the signet ring on this picture discʼs A-side. 

The flip is tagged with what this symbol of companionship is leaving, once itʼs used properly. So thereʼs a signed and sealed big up to everyone who has supported keinemusik so far. No. 20 prettied itself up a bit and commends itself as a nice little collectorʼs item. Still as a decent spinning item as well, containing these pumping features: 

On A1 (aka the ring side) David Mayer opens up with “Machinedrum Calypso”, a relentless Tech-monster with classy percussive decoration, lurking single notes, malicious synths and a roller coaster ride of breaks and full tilt. Perfect opener! 

Next in line is “Think”, falling out of &MEʼs never failing machines. Initially, the kick tends to hide behind some cryptically cut vocal-scraps, but once itʼs grooving at full level, thereʼll be no dry corner left on the floor. Add some sub-bassy guts massage and some highly effective break-stuffing and you have a picture of this guyʼs current sure shot. 

The seal side contains another surprising new Adam Port-cut. “Burana” starts out as a funked out, crackling Disco-beat-skeleton, incorporates a tongue in cheek bassline and some offset hi-hats and once in a while is raising up to cloud nine of synth-paradise. Devoid of any vocal trace there is a potential secret favourite grooving from second row. 

Rampa is aiming for an unlike feisty spot landing for the grand finale. His “AY” offers microscopic fiddling on his percussive tribal rataplan and some decent feverish shaman dance. As a counterpart, he inserts an übercool bass into the background and if needed, an übercool bass into the foreground as well. One glimpse should show that ʻpeaktimeʼ is written all over this bitch. 

Enjoy!

Dropping back in July 2013 Tim Green’s Get Physical release “Halftone / Midnight Roller” was a huge success, so much so that is is being re-released again on Get Physical, but this time as a three track remix compilation, “Halftone / Midnight Roller Remixed” EP. The new EP boasts three inventive and original reworks of Tim’s original tracks “Halftone” and “Midnight Roller”. 

Avatism remix of “Halftone” is the first up on the EP and sets the bar high for the rest of the release with heavy, dark and moody elements running through. It lays a nice contrast to the effortlessly smooth second remix of “Halftone” from Berlin based artist Atelier Francesco and the EP shows no signs of stopping on the third and final remix on the release, “Midnight Roller” which comes from the super talented Nicson who has just had a successful release on Greens own label Disc Over Music called “Cannonball”. 

You can head over and listen to an exclusive track premiere of Atelier Francesco’s “Halftone” remix from the EP at i-D Magazine now. Soothe your mid-week pains with the uplifting elegant groove that this track offers.  

All three reworks offer something different to Tim’s original tracks and show a real musical relationship between dance floor grooves and originality.

Opening up the EP with ‘This Moment’, Devant has created a track that implores the listener to stop and take in all the vibrations, effects and melodies. This is a piece of music that intricately weaves together a hefty bass, curious sounds and an addictive horn.

With a decorated past and an extensive list of achievements, Tim Green has maintained a high level of accomplishments since the mid-2000s. An artist who is deeply dedicated to expressing his truest sound, Tim’s depth of experience, innate musicality, and hard work lie at the heart of his formidable
success. In recent years, his affiliation with the All Day I Dream family, including close ally Sébastien Léger, and embracing the melodic sound, has triggered an unparalleled period of creativity and self-satisfaction. The success he has experienced throughout his career hasn’t been without its ups and downs, but, like any journey worth taking, the path to glory and inner happiness was meant to be that way. Through his high work ethic and natural-born talent, Tim Green has reached new levels of creative maturity and freedom… with so much more to come.
Tim’s musical ability is inherent, it’s in his DNA. His father is a keyboard player and he started taking guitar lessons at the age of eight, so it’s always been there. Growing up in a musical household, surrounded by a variety of sounds and influences, imbued Tim’s mind with a broad range of inspiration. His love affair with electronic music began with Daft Punk’s classic Discovery LP, which sparked a shift from live music in bands to DJing and studio production. Since his first release in 2006, Tim has utilised his skills to cultivate a diverse discography, from techno with labels like Cocoon, where he was a mainstay, to dancefloor-ready house for Dirtybird. Along the way, he’s
released an album Her Future Ghost (Cocoon), produced an impressive and diverse set of remixes for the likes of Underworld, Paul McCartney, Ben Bohmer, Friendly Fires, Eelke Kleijn, Perry Farrel, Sébastien Léger, Cassius, Seth Troxler and Lee Burridge, and written alternative pop material under
his alias Invisible Minds.
Amid all the success, Tim has been working towards uncovering his true sound. Occasional feelings of discontent sparked a desire to experiment. In 2016 came a key release on Get Weird, entitled ‘For A Memory’. The track, 11 minutes of deep, exquisitely produced melodic house, helped lay the
groundwork for what has become Tim’s signature sound - with depth, emotion, and musicality at the heart of his creativity. Along with his 2018 album Her Future Ghost, ‘For A Memory’ was pivotal to his progression into the Tim Green of today. These releases were part of his continual push to find a sound that he was comfortable with, and the catalyst behind his gradual shift into the melodic domain.
Through exploring this emotive sound, finding his groove, and entering a place of comfort with his creativity, Tim has found the freedom that so many artists yearn for.
A longstanding friendship with Lee Burridge (who supported Tim’s music in his sets, right from his first-ever release in 2006), also played a part in Tim’s development. His musicality has always been there, from his genetic makeup to playing in bands, to his diverse back catalogue. Building upon the
foundations laid down by ‘For A Memory’, in 2018 Tim found himself in the studio creating brand new tracks that simply gave him a good feeling, no agenda, just free flowing uplifting jams. He sent them to Lee, who instantly approved, and so began his connection with All Day I Dream. In March 2020 he dropped his first release on ADID, the seminal Vacation To Life. This was followed by the Moho EP with Sébastien Léger, which helped to further establish Tim’s prowess.
Since 2020, he has released another two EPs with All Day I Dream - The Moss and The Night Is Blue, plus an album, Eastbound Silhouette. His global touring schedule continues to be packed, taking him from the US to South America, across Asia and Europe, and back again. At every stop off he
encounters crowds who are open to his sound, driven by love, connection, and living life to the fullest.
When he’s at home being a family man, or spending time in the studio, that good energy continues to emanate cultivating a sense of comfort and inner contentment.
Almost 20 years since he first made a name for himself, Tim Green is busier than ever, touring the world and entering the most creatively enriching and fertile period of his career. He’s brimming with positivity, from the tunes he makes, to what he plays, and the response from the people on the dance
floor. The emotive, uplifting nature of his tracks has a deep resonance with those who experience it, leading to a constant flow of positive feedback. A dream for Tim, who’s fully enjoying the ride, and it shows in the music and his demeanour when he is performing. It’s become a positive feedback loop, where the energy he receives feeds into the music he produces, evoking more positivity on the dancefloor, which radiates back to him, and on it goes.
Maintaining a full-time music career is complicated, there’s no blueprint for success and inner peace.
Fortunately, Tim Green put the work in, kept striving, and discovered his authentic truth. Now driven by the powerful impact of his positive feedback loop, he is relishing the chance to express his musicality for himself, and melodic house lovers all over the world. All the while, he remains humble and full of gratitude for the gift of music…
