WaveReform Records welcomes Snitch with his debut release.

Hailing from Munich where he grew up under the Swedish and German techno influence. Snitch is based in Berlin now, who still works with hardware musical gear only and follows his roots of turning experiments and noises into sensible techno music.

Skalen EP consists of sleek, functional but no-nonsense techno variations from Snitch.

Leading with Skalen - a deadly, serrated tool fashioned to carve up the hardest of dance floors and takes you through the tunnel without a torch.

Kromag displays a bit more of the swing that this producer does so well adding darker atmosphere to a killer effective techno banger.

The EP rounds up with a terrific Laiva remix of Kromag. Laiva was discovered in the Eastern town of Kuhmo and made an appearance on WaveReform before with a killer T#16 record. He makes it all about dub-scuffed kicks here and pulsating bleeps throughout his version of ruthlessly straightforward, point-blank attack for the 48-hour-party people.

Enjoy. Vinyl Only.

Making a welcome return to WaveReform after last years Effe EP, Qindek is back with the kind of distinctive dancefloor alchemy that promises to get under your skin and create an unforgettable experience. Hailing from Deventer in the Netherlands, Thomas Lauren has already issued some essential releases over the past few years for labels as respected as Wolfskuil and Sneji, and now he comes back to WaveReform with one of his most potent creations to date. 
“Odeesjan” centres around a vocal hook that echoes out into a tense, minimalist space. Whether deep in the mix or presented on its own, it’s the kind of sound that can’t fail to be noticed as it looms large in between sparse metallic percussive touches, subtle hats and a rock-solid kick. Aside from that infectious vocal, one of the truly distinctive qualities in this track is the eerie pad that lingers in the background, subtly pulsing and shaping out a tension that Qindek proves to be a master of. 
Such a unique track deserves a unique remix, and so it is as Markus Henriksson re-imagines the mystical club killer as an emotive, electro-tinged masterpiece. Henriksson is best known as one half of legendary acts Minilogue and Son Kite, as well as developing his solo project Nobody Home, and he channels this considerable experience into building a cascading sculpture of electronic refinement. It’s the perfect heart-swaying foil to the psychological intensity of the original version, making this a record of two distinct, essential halves. 
The subtleties of both versions were brought to life even further by a respectful treatment from none other than Stefan Betke, better known as Pole, who mastered the release in his ~scape studio.

Greenbeam & Leon - WRF Podcast 008

Georgian duo Greenbeam & Leon have been exploring the creative potential within techno and electronic music as a whole since 2002. In the 15 years that have passed since, their productions have appeared on some of the key outposts in the netlabel scene (such as Unfoundsound, Minibus and igloo-rec) as well reaching more established labels such as Lessizmore and Splitsound. As Autumn Tree they have branched out into more experimental, home listening fare, but as Greenbeam & Leon they remain focused on the dancefloor.

That focus charges forth on “Tale VI”, the opening track on their first release for Wavereform. Aimed squarely at the peak of the night, this is darkside techno of the highest order, propelled by rippling kick drums and nervous high frequency blips engineered for the maximum possible psychoactive effect. “Tale VII” follows a similar path into bleak surroundings, but rather than the hi-octane rush of “Tale VI” Greenbeam & Leon use restraint to create a sinister experience peppered with uneasy samples and sound design. “Tale VIII” rounds the EP off with a tough, minimalist approach that places the percussion at the front of the mix and uses the full run time of the track to slowly build up the pressure as an orchestral drone swells in the background.  

After the releases from Qindek and Snitch, the Abandoned Tales EP is a perfect addition to the Wavereform catalogue, as well as marking yet another development in Greenbeam & Leon’s storied career.
