DISTORTION - UNDERGROUND TECH HOUSE INSTRUMENTAL DJ SET

DISTORTION - UNDERGROUND TECH HOUSE INSTRUMENTAL DJ SET (8)

FINNEST brings us a new release, "ITS TOO LATE" by Mesquitas & Danny (AT), in its third reference, second of its "Underground Series" division, it is an original cut accompanied by a remix by the talented Philipp Lichtblau. The Original cut is an obvious example of the quality that Rafa and Danny have accustomed us to, very elegant deep house with a super sensual vocal and a subtle rhythm perfect for heating up the club floor at the beginning of the night. In the remix we have Philipp, who after having signed on labels like HedZup or Rendr presents us with a more minimalist version of It's Too Late, with a deeper bassline, a more extended dynamic and a happy groove that makes you move your foot uncontrollably and inevitably. Without a doubt, this maxi is a piece worthy of collecting. 

ENJOY IT!

Artist: PHILIPP GONZALES
Track: MAKE IT LAST
Release: MAKE IT LAST
Cat.No: BOND-DIGI031

After his huge success with Memories of the Future Philipp is back with his new EP on Bondage-Music. Although he was pretty successful with a broader audience in the last months, Philipp still keeps his productions in the underground. With Who Is Who he delivers a rather techy stomper that sounds raw and analogue while fresh and modern at the same time. Pokerflat's and Bedrock's Stelios Vassiloudis delivers a very functional and contemporary interpretation of this song. In field tests, his remix was a sure shot when the dance floor needed to be filled. Make It Last is a rather deeper house track, that hypnotizes the listener with a laidback dubby synth arrangement and soft kicking beats. The very talented Swiss producer and Dj duo Sous Sol made a remix that opens up the heart of the house heads who are looking for tracks that play with the genre boarders. Definitely a must play. Enjoy!

72nd Ep to be released on Visionquest Records.  

Fresh names to Visionquest, but certainly not new to the game; More Than Material is the promising new project between two bonafide French selector statesmen who collectively boast decades of dancefloor and studio science: Jedsa Soundorom and Gauthier DM. Launching their new alias earlier this year on Zingiber Audio, their signature has been tangible from the off; deep weighted grooves, warm dynamics and total immersion.

'Intimate' says it all; realising its title's close connotations with a dubby, physical groove and a rollcall of soul rolling elements, it's the sound of a crowd locking in en- mass. Low ceiling, heads down, lights low. 'Godsa' follows with similar moody momentum and another hypnotic weave. This time over much more of a stately techno noir soundscape as its persistent jack is laced with subtle acid details. Next, we hit 'Doctor High', an ageless deep house groove peppered with nuances of uplift, trippiness and a drum arrangement that taps deep into the foundations. Once again, the track relives its title's implications.

Finally, we sign out with a precision revision from Fuse resident Archie Hamilton who refixes the pace and density of 'Doctor High' with more of a driving peaktime aesthetic that remains fully respectful of the original's weight and clarity. More Than Material by nature, spirit and name.

Legit Trip - Groove On (Original Mix)

Gorge is currently in top shape! His last two EPs on 8Bit and Oliver Schories new label Pracht, reached number 1 in the Beatport Deep House Charts. Now he's back on Still Hot with another bomb.
Beyond Flatlines is a deeply groovy, beautifully built up track that will be released just in time for the upcoming open air season. To top it all off, the legendary live act Der Dritte Raum contributes a massive remix. Hypnotic, playful and powerful are words synonyms with the remix as it is crafted for peak time Festivals.

An outlet founded originally to release his own productions across the house and techno sphere, Butane’s home imprint Extrasketch now houses an extensive body of work from the San Francisco-based talent.  The catalog has heretofore displayed the expansive depth and range of his solo musical stylings across the electronic spectrum as it enters its third year. Having now recently welcomed longtime friend Andras Toth as the first guest collaborator on the label, we see Butane continue to open the label to collaborative efforts here as he pairs up with regular studio partner Riko Forinson following their releases on Deeperfect, Little Helpers, SCI+TEC, Lapsus, and Moan.  With this, the duo reveals a selection of darker collaborative club cuts in the form of ‘Equilibrium’. 

A far-reaching package containing eight tracks, ‘Equilibrium’ offers up Butane and Riko’s most extensive body of work to date; one which is impressive throughout in its diversity of atmospheres.  From the blossoming, emotive sequences of the opening piece ‘The Sad Song’, through the more melodic territories found in ‘Riffraff’ and ‘Get Into My Groove’, the release uncovers a collection of works that span both genres and moods, while focusing on the overarching Extrasketch ethos of delivering functional and quality club records.  ‘Primadonna’ offers a hooky, driving tech house workout with a damaging bassline.  ‘Anxiety’ strips things back to focus on delicate melodies, hazy atmospherics, and somber psychedelic reflection.  ‘All In My Head’ incorporates Butane’s trademark subversive, tripped-out vocals, before the duo wraps up the EP with the slick floating textures of ‘Tripping’ and the sparse, infectiously appropriate closer ‘Inside’.  Butane & Riko Forinson in fine form indeed.

The Swiss-born buraq is a DJ, music com- poser and producer based in Zurich, here making his 2nd outing on Steve Bug's Sub- lease Music.
The Untold EP dives straight into the good stuff - the title track is a juicy tech house rol- ler infused with years of experience of the dancefloor. buraq weaves together thick kicks, snappy percussion, deep chords and a sick bassline to create a fully essential tune.

'Unsaid' picks up the baton and runs with it - a taut groove ramps up the tension before melodic loops and a restless synth bring the track to full fruition.

'Unspoken' completes the triptych - another fully primed burner for the late night sessi- ons that balances a powerful groove with light touches.

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
