Artist:	BODZIN, STEPHAN
Title:	Liebe Ist...
Label:	HERZBLUT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	HERZ 001CD

This is the first full-length release by Bremen-based producer, Stephan Bodzin, label-head of Herzblut. Bodzin has spent many years as the man behind the scenes who has helped countless techno artists to launch their successful careers. He released his first 12"s in 2006 and founded his label, which roughly translates to "blood from the heart," or "commitment." The euphoria that his first tracks caused has been widespread and the list of top-notch DJs who have freaked out to his music is endless. Stephan Bodzin has created his very own and unique electronic sound, which combines club-functionality and deep musical emotion in a very special and surprising way. Keen melodies and an embossed and sometimes histrionic beauty stand next to rumbling basses and fey dissonance. There is no way to pigeonhole the Bodzin sound into one of those well-worn musical genres. That's why Bodzin himself describes his debut album Liebe Ist... ("Love Is...") as "...an album of tones and melodies, an atmospheric musical approach, which isn't shackled by the Zeitgeist." The 11 tracks on this album, which is also released on a self-confident triple-vinyl set, were produced within 6 months. Liebe Ist... is the next logical step for Bodzin, who is now concentrating on his own career for a change. And on listening to this great album, you'll definitely want to congratulate him on this decision.

Title:	Daytona Beach
Label:	SPIEL-ZEUG (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	SPIEL 039EP

"If techno 2006 was tennis in the '80s, Stephan Bodzin would be Ivan Lendl -- solid, introverted and at the same time, super-efficient and a genius -- a true fighter. After starting the already hyped Herzblut label for his personal productions and the thrilling Pendulum EP, he strikes back with ground-shaking techno not techno weapons... playful sequences take turns with rave-ish bassmonsters and moody synth action... quality stuff!"

Title:	Systematic Colours Volume One
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	SYST 005CD

After more than two years, more than 25 releases and a couple of longplayers, it's now time to celebrate the success of the German electro house imprint Systematic Recordings with their very first label compilation. Systematic Colours includes the greatest club hits of the last two years, including productions by Marc Romboy, Booka Shade, Blake Baxter, John Dahlbäck, Zoo Brazil, DJ Fex and Stephan Bodzin, just to name a few. Nobody else than Bremen-based multi producer and DJ Stephan Bodzin (who also has productions on labels like 2020 Vision, Gigolo, Datapunk and his own platform Herzblut) has prepared and mixed this disc and he has produced a homogeneous and flowing 80-minute lasting mix, although the chosen material ranges from zeitgeist-y electro house to classic acid and deep house. The tracks on this compilation include Marc Romboy's collaboration with Booka Shade called "Every Day Of My Life," an exclusive upcoming single release from John Dahlbäck, Phonique's debut release "River," the label's bestseller Abysm, and Stephan's own singles "Marathon Man" and "Tron." Also includes the artists Sebo K., Olaf Pozsgay, Robert Babicz, Hugg & Pepp and Robert Owens. No question, this CD contains the essence of Systematic!

Title:	Tron/Midnight Express
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	SYST 025EP

With releases on Gigolo, Datapunk, Get Physical and 20:20 Vision, Stephan Bodzin caused an earthquake with more than ten degrees on the Richter Scale in electro land. Now Stephan serves us his second and long awaited solo single Tron/Midnight Express on his home label, Systematic. "Tron" is a typical Bodzin groover featuring an extraterrestrial wall of Moog bassline you have never heard before. "Midnight Express" comes along in a rather moodier and laidback way but displays Stephan's knack of creating and choosing the right sounds at the right time.
