EP02

Float Records' first vinyl release is a fact. And what could be better then to divide it in two equal parts, where the first output reflects the second. Label owners TWR72 proudly present you 'Reflect'.

The first remix comes from Düsseldorf based producer Markus Suckut. A subtle angle is taken on Reflect which makes the remix feel sustainable. A perfect track to include in his already impeccable oeuvre. All the way from Finland is analog devotee Samuli Kemppi, who takes care of the second remix. Samuli creates a sudden tension which keeps on building until the very end.

A001, from Amsterdam, turns the track into a obscure remix with a perplexing second half. A001's mysterious and quiet appearance is a paradox compared to his musical output. TWR72 closes the EP with the bonus track 'Response'. A solid and barbarous answer to Reflect. No further words are needed.

We are huge fans of the Dutch maestros @TWR72 and the relentless quality of their imprint that goes by the name of @FloatRecords.

Check out the first half of this double pack Reflect (Part 1) that included Developer, Kwartz and Myk Derill. It’s an honour to select this original track from the guys themselves on the next instalment that enlists Markus Suckut, Samuli Kemppi and A001 on remix duty.

“Response” is a whirlwind of intensity and manic power. Crunchy kicks and rough textures filling the mix get this gem going, where the synth stabs and siren-esque squeals make this a monstrous beast. Haunting organs and a tom drum providing an obscure ‘tick tock’ at the final break finish it off with great suspense.

> 01. What was the thinking behind this track and did you achieve what you set out?

Actually this track was a sort of follow up for ‘Balance.’ It was intended to sound a bit similar but with an improved character. As you can hear, the processing of the main synth is pretty much the same, but the sound on Response is a bit warmer. The overall feel is also a bit more aggressive. We were busy with a new working method at the time on how to process our sounds to give it more character and depth. Sound wise but also the rhythm of the sound. We can say that we achieved some goals on this track, but with every track we produce it’s always a surprise where it ends up.

> 02. What tips and advice can you share to any producers on shaping their own sound?

Be experimental, because there are no rules.

> 03. What is your go to track at the moment by another artist?

This a good opportunity to use some shameless promotion for our own imprint Float Records. As label owners we have the possibility to create a platform for the music we love. And there are a million ways to run a label and there are millions of decisions you can make. We feel that the Techno scene is extending in a good way and we’re trying to contribute in the development of it by giving talented producers a chance. We recently signed Fisssh and Kuf which is going pretty well. The upcoming release is by Altinbas. He did a track called “Imminent Probe” and although it’s a pretty basic track, it worked every time we played it. It was and still is our secret weapon in every set.

DT:Premiere | TWR72 - Response [Float Records]

Blue and Green is the combined production efforts of Josh Thompson AKA Bareskin and J. Wiltshire.  The two young producers both have history with Hypercolour; Wiltshire having recently dropped his ‘False Awakening’ single on the label, and Bareskin having contributed to both Hypercolour and Losing Suki imprints in the past.

Emotive territory is plundered on ‘The Wait’, a breakbeat flecked and pacey production that blends introspective vocals, dark guitar melodies and distorted bottom end with refreshing results.

Alan Fitzpatrick, picks up the mantle on the first of two remixes on this
single.  The Drumcode regular has been firing on all cylinders these last 12 months, with class remixes for Trus’me and dubspeeka and releases for Hotflush, Figure, Cocoon and Adam Beyer’s aforementioned Drumcode label. Fitzpatrick strips back the vocal and creates a peak time rolling Dub Mix in his own solid and inimitable style.

A second remix comes courtesy of techno psychonaut, A Sagittariun.  The Elastic Dreams boss follows up singles on HypeLTD and Secretsundaze and remixes for Permanent Vacation and Futureboogie with a distinctively warm and telepathically charged “Re-Dream”.

Imprint bosses TWR72 have a ‘secret weapon' in their sets this year. A track everyone was wondering who produced it. And now you know. 

It's from Float Records' latest signing Altinbas and the track is called Imminent Probe. Sometimes you need something that is simple and effective yet attractive. And we can tell you, Imminent Probe does the job. No club is safe if you decide to play this.

With Authentic Memory, the 2nd track of the EP, Altinbas shows his capability to create more depth and subtle variations. The track keeps building while small details come and go. Altinbas closes the EP with Cyclic Frames; A never ending fast forward rhythm blended with intelligent highhats. Let this Brussel-based producer surprise you.

Altinbas - Imminent Probe (Previews) // FLOAT007

Only if you lived under a rock the last year it’s possible that you have no clue who Tensal is. But if you didn’t live under a rock you’re probably as happy as we are that Tensal is doing a full EP on Float Records. 

Achievement 1 is the perfect example of how subtle elements can create the story of a track. The sound similar to a waterdrop stays untainted while the sublime hat parts keep on floating around. Achievement 2 has that particular groove that will captivate and hypnotize your brains. Once again that groove is supported by flawelessly ongoing hats.

Achievement 3 is all about the eccentric bassline which is driving continuously making you deform into a different mindset. Achievement 4 unlocks a fierce tension; you shouldn’t feel save when hearing this one. Four grooving techno tracks, just like you are used from both Tensal and Float Records.

Dold - Tumult [FLOAT009]

Tracklist:
1: Dold - Tumult
2: Dold - Tumult (Fisssh Remix)
3: Dold - Sågtand
4: Dold - Sfär

The spectrum of Float Records is again extended with latest signing Dold. Housed in Sweden, this talented new producer delivers three analog pieces of music. Fisssh takes care of the remix to show you his approach. 

The original Tumult starts modest, but builds up to an intense moment of full force, which is supported by minimal yet heavy drums. Fisssh uses his intelligent percussion game to give the original a different direction. With intense filtering and layering he succeeds to flip the originals sequence into a new one. Sågtand almost overrules itself with its sequenced penetrating saw, distorted minimal kicks and clever positioned high hats. This haunting tool let’s no place untainted. Sfär closes the EP in style with a rolling sequence combined with an ongoing soundscape in the background.

Title: X
Catalog: FLOAT010

A1: TWR72 - X1
A2: TWR72 - X2
B1: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 1)
B2: TWR72 - X3
Digital bonus: TWR72 - X2 (Endlec Remix 2)

The 10th release of Float Records will be celebrated in style by label owners TWR72. They present you their own new EP called ‘X’. Three original groove monsters supported by an intense and profound remix from Endlec.
 
X1 has a remarkable and outspoken bassline with a slighty ‘back in the days’-feel created by the drums. Slowly the organ theme grows and grows until you get used to it. Heavy hitting claps make sure to keep your attention towards the break. And then… X2 has a driving groove as the main subject. Steered by an almost annoying high pitched pad and later some haunting strings. The real science starts when Endlec works his magic. His unique drum programming and distorted yet sophisticated approach of the elements creates the best remix. X3, the fast groover with a slick bassline, a cheeky synth and jacking drums is perhaps a safe approach. But we guarantee this will work on every dancefloor. As a digital bonus there is another brilliant remix by Endlec. Judge it yourself.

Title: Adept
Catalog: FLOAT011

Tracklist:
1: Deauwd - Adept
2: Deauwd - 120
3: Deauwd - Duality
4: Deauwd - Litter

Releasedate: 6th of June

It all started with a demo in our mailbox of a 18 minutes long track without a beat. Deauwd was the one who had the balls and confidence to send it. There was no doubt this guy was talented and here we are presenting his debut EP on Float Records: Adept. 

Deauwd his love for techno has translated into a real varied EP. With the 1st track Adept he goes full force with a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements. No doubt the sequence gets stuck in your head for a long time. 120 is the 2nd track on the EP. This 18 minutes long masterpiece takes you on an atmospheric journey which builds up really slow and subtle. Just in time you can hear the first tones leading to the transformation of the sequence. Then it opens up like a beautiful flower in outer space. Duality on the flip side is the little kooky brother of Adept. Once again a thump mix of oldskool and minimal elements, but this time with a startling arrangement. You never know what to expect next. Last of the bunch is Litter. High BPM, killer bassline, snappy beats and a fantastic sequence. Once again a talented new producer on Float Records! We hope you like it as much as we do.
