Title:	Themes From Repeat
Label:	A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	ATC 008CD

'Repeat Orchestra (aka Antonelli Electr.) On Themes from Repeat Stefan Schwander presents the purest form of his Electronic Soul, live-performance, orchestral, deep house. In a post-modern manner, Themes from Repeat operates opposite to the standard sampling clichčs of :cc housetunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. Repeat Orchestra is a one-man-band, who likes to express his 'personal soul' in music by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and repetitive moments together in his music. The result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor and in the living room. Repeat Orchestra's album Themes from Repeat features the most outstanding tracks (plus one additional exclusive and unreleased track) from his previous four 12" releases. All four singles were extremely well-received by DJ“s and journalists all over the world. Themes from Repeat combines soulful music, within a minimal music context with a bit of pop for both entertaining and elevation."

Title:	Capricorn Rising EP
Label:	A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ATC 016EP

"A touch of class returns with an astonishing 3 tracker from Chicago based producer Warmdesk that could roughly be described as reduced deephouse but exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest basslines that you'll ever hear outside of drum'n'bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects."

Title:	Mid-Atlantic
Label:	A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ATC 017EP

"The man who released on Background Records, Traum/Trapez and remixed Akufen in the past, and just recently surprised us with his debut album Subject Carrier as well as delivers his first House EP with four tracks spiked with steady beats, deep melodic chords and an overall Chicago House feel. This is not only very well produced digital housemusic, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you'll ever hear outside of drum'n'bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects."

Title:	Asafa Chords EP
Label:	A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ATC 018EP

"Repeat Orchestra (aka Stefan Schwander aka Antonelli Electr., Rhythm Maker, one half of the duo Swimmingpool) returns with another 12" in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. In a post-modern manner, The Asafa Chords EP operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichčs of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. The two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a One-Man-Band, who likes to express his version of Afro-futuristic house music by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. The result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will stand out from the rest."

Artist:	LEROSA
Title:	Design EP
Label:	A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ATC 019EP

"With no compromise to Design's tight dance flow, LeRosa (aka Leopoldo Rosa) puts his arranging and sound design artistry on full display in all four tracks on this killer deep EP. The A-side's urgent opener 'Babylon' slams furiously with snares leading the charge and jazzy piano motifs scurrying like mice over its pummeling house pulse; listen closely and you'll even glimpse vocal snippets adding a jungle chant along the sidelines. 'Cracked & Ready' catches its breath after the EP's intense beginning before venturing out on its own scenic tour with a hammering reggae bass line and aggressive funk strut the chaperones. The flip's jacking title cut percolates with an intricate weave of acidic synth lines, clattering rimshots, handclaps, and disco hi-hats, before 'Deception' nicely caps the set with a laid-back, summery fusion of soul-jazz and house sparked by trumpet and bright synth flourishes. Though he picked up his first synthesizer only seven years ago, the Dublin-based Italian producer clearly displays in his work an encompassing and deep familiarity with multiple genres and periods. Lerosa is definitely a man to watch out for in the future as clearly also demonstrated on his recent EP on UK's Real Soon imprint and other strong releases."
