Artist:	BAUMEL, PATRICE
Title:	Roar
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	GPM 092EP

Patrice Bäumel has made a name for himself as a producer of warm, lustrous and dynamic dancefloor music. "Roar" builds suspense with a taut, tense rhythmic backbone, consisting only of a hand-clap and a lisping hi-hat. "Comfortably Uncomfortable" features a tough kick-drum, a panning synth motif and a precision-tooled bass melody. "Clair" swings with a kick-drum offset by Latin percussion patterns and melody. A velvety, synthetic string theme swells into the foreground, making it a deeply atmospheric, dramatic track.

Title:	Mutant Pop
Label:	TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAPEZ 050EP

"Born 1975 in Dresden, Germany, Patrice was raised on a diet of free jazz, Frank Zappa and all kinds of other music you wouldn't normally expect in an average household. Starting to develop a musical taste of his own, his main influences quickly became bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure and Yello. The love for combining cold synthetic sounds with a warm human touch has stayed with him until today. Today, Patrice's musical style can best be described as genre-bending, organic, never loosing sight of the groove, and melting '80s electronic music with today's cutting edge underground house and techno, a style he refers to as 'Mutant Pop', which is his first release to date on Trapez."

Title:	Just Electricity
Label:	TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAPEZ 073EP

Amsterdam-based artist Patrice Bäumel released his very successful first record Mutant Pop in 2005. Now presenting "Just Electricity" -- a huge post-Chicago A-side track with melodic strings, creating dramatic moments with ups and downs -- never hectic, always shiny. This track has been charted by leading artists in Amsterdam such as Shinedoe and DJ Darko as a huge tune for 2007. "Fantomas" gets started stripped-down with a kick and a bouncy electro bassline, steadily moving towards a melodic climax, which sees all hands up. Two wonderful tracks with a universal approach, fusing Detroit and Chicago with modern European influences.

Title:	Flow
Label:	TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAPEZ 089EP

Patrice Bäumel is a phenomenon on Trapez. "Flow" is a cool mighty Chicago techno house track with a grinding bass line, stuttering vocals and an overall old school touch. "Cavern" works with psycho-acoustic microphone sounds which seem to linger in the background, and short vocal stabs and mighty percussive programming provide the track with a stronger active rhythm. Melodic sequences slowly make their way into the track, never obtrusive. Pure hedonism for the techno crowd.
