The final release of The Vegetable Orchestra Remixes edition is finally here. After three previous editions with invited artists like Villalobos, Luciano, Oliver Hacke and Gabriel Ananda, among others, it's time to present the point views of more three fabulous producers. The remix conclusion leaves us with a tear in our eyes... all this previous editions were fabulous and knowing they are ending is sad! Frank Martiniq, a guy that has been very quiet this year, stars the album with an amazing work. This music has a certain thing that catches me, it's quiet and smooth and all the things are done with a unique taste. Martiniq never disappoint us, you can count on that. Just let yourself drive along with this great journey. Anja Schneider goes next remixing "Carrot Cuts" and i was expecting things a little harder from her but instead of doing that, the girl from Berlin went through deep and dark steps fitting well to what usually are Karmarouge lines of selection. Sian also does a pretty good job... a wicked beat in a deep solid structure! This is the finest art of doing music, the simplicity of procedures of this step by step productions will continuously getting you into another state of mind. Excellent choice of cards to complete this classical edition of remixes. Enjoy!
Smash TV (Holger Zilske & Michael Schmidt) have been performing, mostly on Bpitch Control, since 2001. So they aren't exactly new comers to the scene. I always listen their releases but the music usually don't fit to my kind of taste, despite all the quality and geniality present in all of their productions. Locomotive Breath is, for the first time, an Ep that i like from the beginning till the end. It's a very catchy music that goes exploring different environments during it. I cannot pass this without mention the great construction inputed into it... sound by sound, it goes growing smoothly to alternative spaces. Both musics are great but "Breath Me" is my favorite. The design of the music is awesome, the piano chords makes it dark minded but always with a peaceful posture. Listen it carefully and feel inspired by it. This Ep is a perfect example that things don't have to be as the rules say... different spaces must be explored so you can mark the difference. Smash TV are genuine and pure and surely deserve my great respect!
Einmaleins32 has just arrived. Composed by two fresh musics, both great to a good party. After the fine work produced by Carina Lohmeyer aka Souki (Einmaleins 031) now it's the time of two new producers to work in this label: Bloody Mary (has left a quite remarkable ep at Sender Records) and Sierra man (one of the founders of Toys for Boys label). The first music Black Jack has inumerous details on three basic steps. Very simple music will all the ingredients required. Baccara meets itself in a journey dominated by the simple spiritualitys, but both music are very similar in it's quite solid minimal style
With a quite suggestive name Deadbeat is my choice for today. This guy is based at Montreal, Canada and has a huge background behind him. I'd already liked his previous work at Wagon Repair "Eastward on to Mecca" and this new release definitely expresses all of his geniality and skills among the minimal world. The Ep starts with the groovy "Heathrow Express", a pumpy track with a great flow. A few acid elements, Detroit neurotic style, and here we go to another dancefloor success. After a few hearings of this one you will understand all its potential. "Bubble and Squeak" presents another style of music, traveling to a more exquisite world. I would say that this would be a turn on to guys like Luciano or Villa because it has all the requirements they normally input in their charts. A great minimal journey able to eat your brains up. Finally "The Heckler" finalizes this tremendous work going back to a groovy rhythm reminding the old school flavors that I appreciate a lot. A nice track for a sunny Saturday afternoon. Released by Cynosure. Be aware for his next work, this time on Cadenza Records.
Just after a great debut by the hand of the "paisano" Chilean producer luciano, on his Cadenza records, Alejandro Vivanco returns with a vinyl "printed" on the also Chilean based Label Andes Music.. Madre Tierra, no Alejandro? :)
After a month, Mobilee comes to present a new album. This time is the greek Andreas Dimitriadis aka And.Id, who after launched great works on labels like Thinner or Ware, comes now to dignify the name of this german label. We can also enjoy the done work by Anja Schneider, in a great album "Beyond the Valley", introducted like week sugestion... Back to Andreas Dimitriadis work, making a fantastic ep including two songs. "One is not enough" it's a very shiny minimal, very like Mobilee style, with his very own personalized rhythm and a milimetric grow measure, small ultralight rays infractions, a song with a big spirit full of surprises, with two really particular souls. "The Island", a deep-minimal with a regular presence of small melodies kind of And.Id styles, very paused and definity enraised on mobilee scene.
Two amazing tracks composes this production from Germany!
My My are surely one of my favorite producers. The boys from playhouse - Lee Jones (producer of "Aria", far from doubts, already one of the eps of the year) and Nicolas Hoppner - got together, for the first time this year to produce a classic release! This is the kind of music that can change moods, able to give a great environment to where ever it plays. "Southbound" is a groovy track with a nice deep beat and great chords marking the pace. You will surely recognize all the normal standards that My My uses to develop in this track... great work. "Pink Flamingos", in the b side, follows through different steps. With a great set of deep drum rhythms this turns out to be a more relaxing work. I love this kind of productions of this duo. It's a great way to spend a wonderful afternoon in great vibes. Music to enjoy your finest moments... released by Ostgut Ton, from Germany
After Sabotage Ep on February at Sender Records, Misc. is back with another Detonation! The duo Christopher Bleckmann & Hannes Wenner, from Bremen, are betting on wicked sounds on all of their productions. Misc. isn't like everyone else, they have their own kind of music, their little bugged world! I'll start with my favourite, on the B side "Rotorik"presents you an explosion of minimal acid techno very well done! This might eat your brain up a bit but it's worth it! Non stopping rhythm in an complete hallucinated music. "Detuned" steps out of the techno to go electro! This is more comercial but it's also a nice music, step by step like we like it, it won't fail on you in the dancefloors! A rough twisted Ep launched by Hidden Agenda. Not an easy one, hope you like it!
Joseph Capriati again on top, but this time in double with Matteo Spedicati, fantastic realease!
Great release from Tenax Recordings, this ep is composed by two incredible tracks destinated with their heath to warm up any dancefloor it will be played at.
After a few time, Tigerskin back to minimaland, this time through a work edited by Absurd Recordings. Non Chalant, a trip to the spiritual world, composed by "two chords" stepping out the essential of the music and than off course the 4by4 making it balance in a more temperate way. The remix of Dave DK shows the little steps running through before the main point of the music.
Mattias John makes his own label debut - Holographic Island - with this nice 3 track ep. I'm always informed of his new releases cause i like his way of doing things. He has a different way of doing music, a perfect knowledge of minimal standards and great quality and amusement on his tracks. The a side with "Boing Highfly" is the perfect example of it, classic stuff! This is not techy music, its MINIMAL, at it's highest level!:) The b side brings "Cockpit" power, a music with great intensity and a strange (but nice) choice of samples. "Teleparty", the last one, smooths down the things again... a rather acid and wicked music! The best you have to do is listen it repeatedly and explore it the best you can.
It goes through you and passes over you.
I think i don`t need to say anythink about this tracks...
This great work was produced by the "big" Chaim with the help of BPitch Control.
Third release for the young Neapolitan label of the electrocasbah crew, Casbah.
