Artist:	ARGY
Title:	1985
Label:	LIEBE DETAIL SPEZIAL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	LDS 003EP

"After Liebe Detail Spezial has been launched very successfully with a series of Move D remixes, the label now presents its first proper artist EP. It is coming from Greek producer Argy, who already made himself known through various releases on Poker Flat. '1985' on the A side generously spreads an old school vibe by using massive organ stabs. At the same time it couldn't sound less modern. '1985' is a wonderfully driving, up to date house hit. On the flip Jerome Sydenham does what he does best with his remix. He manages to stay close to the original, yet streamlining it into one of his very hypnotic and powerful dubbed out jams. Argy then finishes the EP off with a track simply called 'Tool' where he focuses on a massive percussive groove floating through gloomy, spaced out atmospheres."

Title:	Focus On: Argy
Label:	POKER FLAT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PFR 021CD

Following on from Guido Schneider's enigmatic Focus On album, Poker Flat introduces the next in the series, Focus On: Argy. Comprised partly of new and exclusive productions by Argy alongside well known and upcoming names and highlights from his back catalog of releases and remixes, the mix acts as a showcase for Argy's unique style, influenced by strong, energetic peak-time house through to deep and spaced-out percussive journeys. Hot collaborations with Solomun, The Mole, Maral Salmassi, DJ Gregory, Jerome Sydenham and Bayoga traverse through an impeccable selection of modern house music. Each brand new and exclusive track featured on the release is a fresh collaboration between Argy and another producer or musician, and the concept dictates that both must have an active part in the recording of the track. Traversing the spectrum from the intense traveling grooves of "Anenome" with Solomun to the evolving percussive workout of "Under No Illusion" with percussionist Bayoga, there are endless delights on offer. Teaming up with Canadian-in-Berlin The Mole, the two producers' love of funked-up filtered sounds comes through like a sizzling afterhours jam, which contrasts rather nicely with the neo-tribal rhythms of the essential "Our Drums," a track produced alongside DJ Gregory. Jerome Sydenham gets in the studio with Argy and the result is a tranced-out deep and dramatic cut with powerful chords. Also featured in the mix are a number of future classics from Argy's blossoming back-catalog of releases and remixes, including the spectacular warehouse tribalism of "Love Dose," his debut release on Poker Flat, to the driving peak-time hot house of his "Legendary Bonus Beats Remix" of Jerome Sydenham's "Elbian." Focus On: Argy is a mature, dedicated and insightful journey into a true artist of our time. Other artists include: Texu, Romantic Touch and Ryo Murakami.

Title:	Love Dose
Label:	POKER FLAT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	PFR 060EP

"Argy is Argyris Theolis. Born in Rhodes, Greece the 20-year-old artist is currently based in London. The title track is a very subtle and hypnotising tune. Initially unoffending it builds into the perfect soundtrack for a haunted house. But the spooky Spanish vocals by Valeria who demands her 'dose,' cynical laughter and creepy clock samples just form a guard of honour for the amazing acid-fueled synth-lines which drill into your skullcap. There could have been no better remixer than the one and only Luciano who keeps the original atmosphere, but adds a snappy attitude to the track and lets the synth-lines badly oversteer. A killer remix! 'Hide and Seek' on the flipside completes the package with a dubby minimal house-beat and spooky samples such as a mumbling moaning and reverse messages."

Title:	La Pasion
Label:	POKER FLAT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PFR 074EP

Argy takes on the challenge to compose this year's summer soundtrack. From South America, to Africa and Persia, the young artist presents us his global music influences through a modern-electronic sound. "La Pasion," a collaboration with singer Lara Ramos, clearly presents the artist's passion for house music. "Third Night in Lebanon" is a reduced percussive piece with an intelligent arrangement of organic sounds, while the final track treats us to a sweeter, mood-changing experience. "The Waves" is structured around a steady groove of airy and wet percussion layered with intriguing, spacey effects. Once again the young Greek combines innovative production with a raw sound full of passion and soul.
