QST 001EP
|
Parisian boy-wonder Tell kicks off the Trophy Quartet series with Faster Than Light. The title track serves up some intergalactic French filter house dubbed, which brings back Daft Punk and Armand van Helden vibes. "Ya'll Feel That Honey (Paradise Mix)" is a tune with undeniable swing and moody chords that ultimately collide beautifully with a delectable big room piano riff. The leisurely-paced jam "What Can U Do For Me" is the "pretty one" with a high-pitched vocal flies over rubbery Rhodes chords with groovy neat percussion. "Vamos A La Playa" closes -- keywords: coconuts, sand, bikini, six-pack, and tan.

DEEPST 001EP
|
"A crisp-biscuit Bristol label, opening its account with a deadly brace of stripped-back dub techno. First off, Peverelist and Andy Mac together, following up their Trilogy Tapes debut with an organic, late-night roller; and then a killer AM on the flip, mesmeric and bumping. Ace."

ST 001EP
|
For most people, Seth Troxler is a name associated with Detroit-leaning house and techno. Yet this only scratches the surface of Troxler's musical outlook, hence the formation of Soft Touch; an imprint focused on peeling back the layers of the exotic and the strange, where interstellar guitar, calypso disco and seductive techno tracks can come together in unison and feel totally at home. On the labels first 10" release, Clarian collects three tracks; a kaleidoscopic journey through 6 am electronics, Afro-beat indie-pop and '60s West Coast heartbreak. It's a bold opening statement for a label prepared to break the mould.

SNDST 001EP
|
Pan-Pot are back, this time with the Cells EP on their newly-formed label, Second State. The new label sees Pan-Pot taking full creative control as they move into the second phase of their career, and both tracks here are keen indicators that the pair are starting a new chapter of their sonic journey. Similar to a cell starting in its simplest form and expanding, "Cells" builds into a peak of full dynamic and volume and is packed with a variety of frequencies. "Third Eye" will make its way into your head with its addictive bass line.

TST 001EP
|
This is the first release from label founder and Cocoon artist Julien Bracht on his own label. The two-track EP radiates a sense of confidence and motivation into a composition wherein the sound is expressed by the combination of melodic and hypnotic sounds, combined and inspired by the hardness of his break/techno beats. The dark and deep songs go deep, but it seems the songs shine more and more in the glimmer of hope, and it leaves a deep sense of destiny to do the right thing, in which you trust to your own will.

HEIST 001EP
|
2022 repress. This is the very first release from Heist Recordings from 2013. "The Break Up" features an infectious set of airy chords, a bumpy bass-line and a lush female vocal. "The Make Up" is a deeper track, but still a genuine house tune, with some repetitive, almost hypnotic vocals and stabs, and of course, a pumping groove. You'll lose track of everything halfway through the break, but as soon as the beat kicks in, you know its business time.

INSIST 001EP
|
The first release on Insist Music presents some of the rising stars of the Israeli electronic music scene: Lonya Koval in collaboration with Audio Junkies. "Face Lift" is a piece of uplifting tech-house using a sequencer line that grows and grows. The same track is reworked by Patrick Kunkel and Dirk Redmer, keeping the flow of the original and introducing some more house elements. "Fetish" is remixed by Audio Junkies and makes use of a hypnotic, sunshiney melody.

CONSIST 001EP
|
The Serbian production outfit Nemecek & Tomic unleash another wonderful collection of tracks for the launch of this brand-new label. Setting the tone for the EP, "In Deep Blue" features raw, infectious beats that unwind against a smoky, textural backdrop. Funky, alive and certainly full of ideas, the swinging groove bomb expands and contracts over 8 minutes of blissful modern house. Ruff chord dives and ear massaging question/answer hooks lead the way for funked-out guitar riffs and more.

ARKST 001EP

BFlecha presents certified floor-banger "Ceja De Carnival." This is her particular vision of dirty-South hip-hop sprayed with day-glo psychedelia; like Three Six Mafia playing 808s and flutes on a starry night around a campfire with Gang Gang Dance. The dreamy, raw ballad "Kosmic Lovers" captures the new school "purple wow" sound coming from Bristol (Joker, Guido, Gemmy) with a palette of epic '80s divas like Kate Bush or Laurie Anderson. The artwork features an original oniric painting by Maya Hayuk.

NST 001EP
|
"American artist Ariel and German electronic music producer Jan Muller have joined forces to produce the criminal sounds of Prime Suspect. With a blend of industrial, techno, new wave, electro, punk and live vocals, this duo creates a distinctive, futuristic hybrid of dance. The compelling mix of electronic punk features both Jan's & Ariel's emotive vocals, adding a taste of yesterday's anarchist sarcastic flavor, but never interferes with the music. Remixers Extrawelt are Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe, both coming from the Hamburg rural area. According to the mystic name of the label is the sound of the Extrawelt Tech Remix' of the first release of Prime Suspect. The name of the track is 'Attraction' which takes you into mysterious spheres in which threatening, dark strings and dark elektrosynths interact with each other. A typical Extrawelt. The 'Club Mix' presents itself as a hard and fast stomping electrotech song with roaring synth-action. The effect-vocals are rounding up the track to a ground solid piece of music."

JUST 001EP
|
"With three My My EP's and a forthcoming album for Playhouse already finished, and our monthly night My My and Friends at Watergate up and running, myself, Nicolas Höppner and Carsten Klemann were thinking of what to do next. Matt offered to remix 'Kinder Country' and the label just was born. 'Kinder Country' is the theme to a summer that never happened. It's warm texture and subtle funkiness provide a soundtrack for warm mornings and long lazy days subdued by a melancholic cloud that dampens the brightness. Matt John's Vollbart remix accentuates that mood, by stripping down the elements and locking them down over his own, unique groove."

INZEST 001EP
|
"Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere said 'Berlin, fuckin' itself!', when Feed from Mitte Karaoke asked him and many other friends to join the new project called Inzest. Its always the same story: two musicians meet at the bar in a club (it could be the WMF in Berlin f. E.), haven't seen each other for a while, talk a lot and finally the conversation ends with the very serious decision to meet somewhere out there and to make some music together. Next day they forgot about it. In order to preserve this magic moment the guys from Mitte Karaoke first started a battle series and now the label Inzest starts hosted by the WMF posse. These two musicians/acts who usually are not a production team jam around and get a killer track done (hopefully). This is the A-side of the 12". Then each of them makes a remix and those are featured on the other side. Inzest #1 has now arrived -- guess who made it."
