Title:	Light in the Dark
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	KOM 134EP

This is Axel Bartsch's third release for Kompakt, following two memorable contributions to the Speicher releases. "Redlight" glows from its luminous groove -- an astonishing palate of traditional techno with ten-strike potential. The title track "Light in the Dark," sways with artistic gleam, convincingly warming our hearts with bass... but who can guess that sample used in the intro? "Shining" sends us off with a bouncing playfulness and an unexpected feeling of loving euphony. So Kompakt. So here comes the light.

Title:	Speicher 41
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	KOM EX041EP

Techno producer Axel Bartsch delves into a new trippy, mystic techno style that harkens the best of Matthew Jonson. Speicher 41 features tracks that have a solid, reliable groove-fundamental, and spin elegiacally long and quite entertaining stories about thousands of sound-hallucinations, putting the head-tripping dancer under its magic spell. Bartsch's powerful and forceful playing skills give way to extremely beautiful, fractionized moments of intensity and detail.

Title:	Break Out
Label:	SPORTCLUB (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SPORT 002EP

"An excessive night on the dancefloor in a club in Tokyo on some legal designer dope, reminding of Dr. Albert Hofmann's invention. With the 'break out' scream still echoing in everyone's mind, the afterhour is set in a hotel room with a breathtaking view of the skyline. But no time to rest too long, cause the 'Shinkansen To Kyoto' is ready to depart. Finally, the trip ends with glittering fireworks mirrored at the Komowage river. What a wonderful life! This is the soundtrack..."

Title:	02 Remixes
Label:	SPORTCLUB (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SPORT 008EP

"It's about time that Sportclub's first remix 12" dropped, and it's Axel Bartsch's acclaimed 2nd release for the label that gets re-rubbed and rewired here. To begin with, Ruede Hagelstein, whose Lebensfreude releases and monster remix of Chikinki's 'Assassinator 13' have rocked clubs the world over, nails the spirit of the times with his supremely minimalist interpretation of 'Break Out.' Next up to bat is Safari Electronique's Arnaud Le Texier: the London-based Frenchman drops a buzzing, acidic version of 'Shinkansen to Kyoto' that will turn any discerning dancefloor into sushi! As if that's not enough, Christoph Ehlers is lurking in the shadows with his own distinctive take on 'Break Out' -- steering it into those deep, dark and bubbling waters that we all like to get lost in at night..."

Title:	In The Country
Label:	SPORTCLUB (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	SPORT 011EP

"After excursions to 'Spiel-Zeug' and 'Hi Freaks' Axel returns home and invites us to a sporty ride through his techno landscapes. 'Castillo' passes you through all moments of the dancefloor, from first loose moves till letting yourself go and back again while it's constantly fizzling and clicking till the marked pressure releases. At 'In The Woods' Axel shows his approved weapons: dry house beat, shuffled percussion, deep bassline and all over sudden a melody appears from here and there. All elaborated in particular he consequently pushes the last bud on the dancefloor."

Title:	Twofer
Label:	SPORTCLUB (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SPORT 015EP

"Right after moving to Berlin, Sportclub presents freshly traded Alex Niggemann who already caused a stir with his 'Darko' remix for Booka Shade. Niggemann debuts with a deep killer track featuring a permanently magnetizing melody line, aspiring to be the spring hit of the new year. After being abstinent for a couple of months, Axel getting back on the scene with the b-side 'Daccord.' Decent percussion, deep bassline, loopy. Trancy, dubby monotonously rising but still straight forward track design is the best practice. A true Bartsch."
