Title:	Stopover Goa
Label:	COCOON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	COR 082EP

One of the pioneers of the Rhein Main house movement Christian Burkhardt presents his debut on Cocoon. "Stopover Goa" features percussive funk, powerful hand-claps, some wild pitch acid and alienated adrenaline-diva vocals that would even make Matt Edwards aka Radio Slave envious. In a less obvious way, "Chanel" hypnotizes the listener with a vibrating form of tribal house reduction that cultivates statically-charged energy states over almost nine minutes. Rarely has modern house music sounded so equally complex and clearly structured.

Title:	Kreiskollaps
Label:	OSLO (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	OSLO 001EP

"'Kreiskollaps' is the track which starts the new Oslo Label, having proved its ability to rock dancefloors nationwide. Christian Burkhardt presents a slice of contemporary minimalism, adding lush atmospheres and rounding it up with a deep pumping bassline. Think that's enough? Wait till you here Federico Molinari's remix -- he's already showcased his remixing skills on RaumMusik and 8bit and takes the whole thing to another level. It's more on the housey and hypnotic tip but still maintains the whole context of the track and is sure as hell going to move your butt. Also 'Dressless' by Christian Burkhardt is more of a house-y affair, groovy as hell, perfectly complimenting the EP."

Title:	Contemporary Box
Label:	OSLO (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSLO 009EP

"What's the secret to making a dancefloor explode? If you'd like to learn, just open Christian Burkhardt's Contemporary Box and look what's inside: At a first glance, it seems that it doesn't contain a lot, except for 3 dance tools. But once on the turntable, you may discover the whole secret of this release. What seems to be so simple is a complex construct of percussive elements and bass lines that are being arranged just in the right way. 'Contemporary Box' finds its peak without even having one, just by grooving on and on, monotonously, with jumping sticks and a pushing bass line. 'Maison Noir' moves a little more to the housier side and is carried by warm chords as well as by effective percussions. Phey Boom brings in a certain coolness and carries that great release home."

Title:	The Yard EP
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 061EP

"After his strong release on the freshly founded Oslo label, Christian Burkhardt now comes through with his second single under his real name. Christian has been making music for more than 10 years and he hails from Offenbach, close to Frankfurt A.M. All three featured tracks are club tested and mother approved and each track is quite useful in its very own special way. 'Yard' is a peaktime bomb that will surely blow you away with its amazing and powerful sound. 'Suit' on the B side is for the late moments, or some serious afterhour business better to say. B2 is called 'Dragee' and definitely is the most tool based tune of this EP but it is also quite good to use, as one might also play in a more house related context. We think it is a super solid release with three good tracks and like always we wish you lots of fun in 'The Yard!'"

Title:	Doubledub EP
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 064EP

"After we took a little creative break with the label, Christian Burkhardt opens up for our 10th anniversary year with his second single on Raum...Musik. Christian surely is one of the most promising newcomers hailing from the Frankfurt area and with this EP, he delivers the perfect follow-up to the highly acclaimed Yard EP, also released on our label. His very characteristic style with its layers of subtle rhythms and tons of funk has found a lot of friends worldwide."

Title:	Lipstick EP
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 071EP

"After having released several remixes and records on different labels, Christian Burkhardt strikes back on Raum...musik with his third single for our label. Just like his other two singles on Raum...Musik this EP contains three tracks that are different from each other in terms of the musical style but on the same hand also showing his very unique and always recognizable sound design. A1 'Lipstick' and B1 'Powder' are both a bit darker and reduced, resisting the omnipresent 'old school house' references you often find these days. Therefore he also delivers his personal interpretation of this good old topic, simply called house, with the B2 track, 'Rouge,' that shows the typical twisted funk of Christian. Put on some make up and get ready."
