Paul Kalkbrenner - Bingo Bongo

Paul Kalkbrenner is one of the names that, here in minimal land, we like the most. His genuine music fits perfectly to our world of magical potions! This two musics makes me realize that this guy is still hanging on to what he does the best! In the A side we have the "Bingo Bongo" track. A deep quiet music filled by a quite sad melody... this music is getting better and better every time i listen it... it's one of the quality's of Mr. Kalkbrenner. In the B side you have one of those old school tracks he normally produces. A music that can be compared to Altes Kamuffel, also done by him. A pumpy beat and a groovy style in a genuine German style, perfect to rise up the levels in the dancefloor... what an explosion!! A side to the mind, B side to the Body, released by Bpitch Control.

Maxime Dangles - Speicher 59

The Kompakt Extra editions are back this time with Maxime Dangles leading the boat! This young French producer that my friend Canadas likes so much has made an incredible job on this production. Tulipa fills the A Side with a monster minimal tech track based on deep long bass and a powerfull minimal tech rythm. One of the best tracks i heard in a long time, what a furious performance. I confess that i'm not a big enthusiast of this Kompakt series but this one transcends whatever i may think of it! In the B side we have "Firewire" and, in musical terms, it doesn't stay behind the other track... in fact this one is even a darker and harder one floating through the roughest patterns of minimal techno. A nice one to 4A.M when you want go rise up the moods and spirit of the power people. A music to take part of every Dj's chart! wow!

Jeff Bennett - Sediment Remixes

I can't say that I'm a great Jeff Bennett productions, it seems like is always something missing. Despite his great know how of the scene, usually theres a lack of emotion on his music. In his live performances the same doesn't happen and you get a hell of a show! This "Sediment" release is very good with three different versions stepping up different environments allowing you to choose whatever you want to. The first remix by Jori Hulkkonen is simply amazing with a solid beat and genuine production. The guy from Finland transforms the original into an old school one, the kind of electronic music that only certain producers are able to do... this is one of them! Perc remix goes harder and darker floating to different variances of structure. The beat is incredible and the melody is awesome to terr you apart! A great minimal show off to bookmark this Ep. Lastly the one from Bjorn Wilke... a nice electro track to dancefloor nerds that only like commercial tracks. Despite it's a nice one, it doesn't has the requirements of a minimal land genuine track like the rest of the musics! Nice Ep, released by Kung Fu Dub, Bennet's own label!

Markus Schatz - Frozen Flowers Ep

After a release on Highgrade Germany, Scribble Mania Ep, with Tom Clark (Scribble Mania; Scribble Shock), Markus Schatz releases his first solo, just after three months to show up with this Frozen Flowers Ep in Opossum. Also, he could not be so unknowable by you, as a part of Schatz & Wickinger. I tell you this first Ep with clark, really passed me and I did not gave a real listen on it. But after this Frozen Flowers, I've heared it like god says, with more attention, and realised that Schatz gave the mind games and Clark the harmonys. That was a really fine minimal Ep and this new Solo Ep just give him a confirmation of good work wich apports some recognition. With this solo work, You'll understand what I'm saying.. Also, Opossum (Berlin based label by Marcel Jochmann a.k.a. DJ Unrath) had a first release from Sweet and Candy, and other names have edited trough them like Moritz Piske (A bet) and Format:B, and they show interest in keep good releases and sounds without keeping major names.
An hypnotic one :)
