FORMAT:B
Title:
Restless
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
FMK 001CD
It has been three years since
Steam Circuit
(HIGH 054CD, 2008) first glimpsed the light of day and gave us hits like "Edding 850" which shot to the top of the Beatport charts. The two Berliners have been very busy and founded their own label, Formatik Records, about two years ago, amongst many other things. They have already released hits like "Gospel" and various tracks by new and promising artists and also famed producer
Sébastien Léger
. Their success sent them out on a major world tour: Australia, Asia and into virtually every corner of Europe. They also tapped into the South American market in a big way. They also regularly host a Formatik label night in the world-renowned Berlin club, Watergate. On their last album,
Franz
and
Jakob
were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive -- now they've gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the
Restless
oceans of the world. Tirelessly, the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. This time, they've spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of
Fran
on "Liquid," who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly. Keeping with the maritime theme, the boys have used a harmonica on "Socks & Sandals" and a piano on "Piano Man." Classic Format:B can be found on "Atomizer" and "Oversexed" -- high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans -- and "Biker Meth" is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least).

Title:
Hot Rod EP
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
FMK 001EP
"The first catalogue number from the house of Formatik comes from Format:B. The A-side ('Hot Rod') is a pushing, wooden battering monster in the typical Format:B manner. The 'Hugo Remix' gallops through the house arena like a thoroughbred stallion. Extremely 'wonky' breaks paired with a post modern house beat makes it the perfect alternative. 'Redux' on the B-side is a heavyweight techno layout. Sirens, massive baselines and a dark atmosphere that sometimes, but only sometimes, reminds you of old black and white horror films make this track the perfect addition to this first EP. Three different styles, that's the way we want it. Stay tuned."

DANIEL STEINBERG
Title:
Rush Me
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
FMK 002EP
"The title track 'Rush Me' fuses the Steinbergian House style with the lo-fi charm of the roaring '20s. It comes over slightly poppy but with a very relaxed and laid back groove. Steinberg at his best! Format:B's 'Rush Me' remix, that has been reduced to the original vocals comes over trippy and with a good dose of bongo's making it into a grooving party track. Steinberg's 'Es la Vida' is an elegant reduced tech house beauty. The rhythmic, percussive vocals hit on a very monotone but kicking bass line. A touch of a warm night by the sea in Spain! Format:B's interpretation of 'Es la Vida' concentrates on the vocals and some of the percussion from the original, and combines Steinberg's basics with a hypnotic synth-structure that boils up in the last third of the track until it finally explodes! All tracks aren't scared to admit that they're aiming for the peak time."

Dog Tag
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
FMK 004EP
When dogs meet they don't just lick each other's ears but also put on a silver "Dog Tag." Seeing as the three-legged four-leggers
Jakob
and
Franziskus
aren't that happy being alone and are often seen dancing over the dog grounds wagging their tails, they have decided to share their bowl with
Sébastien Léger
, the French production bulldog who always has a couple of remix Scooby-snacks lying around somewhere. Only
The Lady And The Tramp
is more romantic than that.

Title:
Gospel
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
FMK 005EP
Formatik presents an A-side smasher psalm by the chief preachers
Format:B
, which shall spread the word of the Almighty upon the dancefloors. So close your hands and pray as the nuns will already be body-groovin' in the aisles.
Super Flu
's "Antichrist Remix" adds some soul to the hook lines.
Artist:
DJ MADSKILLZ
Title:
Carnival Chaos
Label:
FORMATIK (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
FMK 006EP
DJ Madskillz
presents the bottom of a noble carnival-wagon, which drills itself through the castle walls of lethargy like a Trojan horse. Behind it, the client in person jumps out of the belly's strong vehicle and brings the
Format:B
remix. The communal phenomenon that DJ Madskillz describes as "carnival chaos" is also picked up by
Ramon Tapia
, who (as usual) bites the horse from behind, making it spit fire in front during peak-time.

FMK 007EP
The second
Forma: B
album is booked as a big success. As a consequence, a big round of remixes has been called out, to which the friends from the house of Formatik have been invited.
Sébastien Léger
attacks "Atomizer" with a cumulative bang, like a horde of sedulous ants. Big-time!
AndHim
made the chill-out track "Desire" a capital dancefloor floater, while
Super Flu
's "Two For One Price" remixes both "Liquid" and "Desire" into one, bestowing the EP's pop-crown.

Pan Pot
shake the A1 with a breeze of rave-charm, rocking the track "Liquid" to its climax and glazing the peak with the smooth voice of
Fran
. On B1,
DJ PP
accelerates. Last but not least: the winner of the remix contest in which Format:B listened through a house-high pile of promos is
Tobi Kramer
-- a young artist who makes "Socks And Sandals" a club-hit once again.
