Chris Tietjen releases his fourth mix of the best of recent 12" vinyl output from the Cocoon Recordings label. Tietjen has been a key member of the Cocoon family since 2005, and with his Next Generation series at CocoonClub Frankfurt, he has established one of the most important creative pools for upcoming DJ talents; besides that, he regularly provides listeners with one of the most crucial musical determinations of contemporary techno. The characteristic elements of Tietjen's understanding of DJ skills stress intensive bass lines and driving percussions, but also reveal a respect for the arrangement of the individual tracks. Martin Buttrich, Schneider & Galluzzi, Guy Gerber, Tiefschwarz, Reboot, Adam Proll and Timo Maas undisputedly belong to the group of artists who have enhanced the world of electronic dance music. In his terrific mix, Tietjen also focuses on the releases of Swedish duo Minilogue whose CD/DVD album Animals is one of the most successful releases on Cocoon and thus is represented here with three tracks (among them remixes by Dubfire and Tolga Fidan). And when Tietjen briefly reduces the tempo after Timo Maas' brute tribal masterpiece "Subtellite," only to continue with the Sven Väth classic (and one of the hits in the last season) "The Beauty & the Beast" in a remix by Eric Prydz, one definitely gets an impression of Chris Tietjen's masterful skills as a DJ. Other artists include: Inxec vs. Matt Tolfrey and Florian Schirmacher.
