Title:	Ghosts EP
Label:	CONNAISSEUR RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	CNS 039EP

Ghosts is Chymera's second cooperation with Connaisseur. Apart from his already very strong Detroit-ish output, he has started experimenting with house, disco and electronica to create a new subtle and more diverse sound spectrum. "Ghosts" is a very touching Detroit epic with a highly-motivating groove and a goosebump-inducing string theme. "These Jagged Shards" is the definition of deep -- a slow builder with an imperative dub groove, chopped-up vocals and driving drums, ensnaring the listener from beginning to end.

Title:	Caprica Burning
Label:	CONNAISSEUR SUPERIEUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	CNSS 013EP

Chymera is a nice Irish fellow originally from Cork. Releasing on classy labels like Delsin, NRK and Ovum, he creates various timeless shapes of techno, drawing on many different influences, both acoustic and electronic. With "Caprica Burning," he pays homage to the TV series Battlestar Galactica with a deep, melodic cut with a touch of Detroit soul. Dave Ellesmere gives "Caprica Burning" a sensitive remix that hits you right in the heart.

Title:	Sumatra
Label:	FIGURE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FIGURE 014EP

"Chymera's Figure 10 was an essential record of summer 2008. And yet Chymera has already composed another techno anthem, 'Sumatra.' To integrate opponent qualities is Chymera's key talent: He manages to fuse boldness with a subtle beauty. Grown up in the Irish town of Cork, Brendan Gregoriy has recently relocated to Barcelona: Actually, 'Sumatra' combines the emotional deepness of the Irish sentiment with the elegance and the beauty of the Mediterranean capital. Chymera builds his grooves like immovable monuments destined to remain with you for quite some time. While the implicitness is the main quality of the grooves, the sublimity of the melodies let the dancers hold their breath: They create cathedral made of sound. Chymera's partner in crime is Deetron from Bern in Switzerland. Being regarded as one of the most inspired producers operating at the threshold of tribalistic and Detroit techno, his remix is an immediate processing of the elements that make 'Sumatra' so special. Deetron moves the focus from the melodies to the grooves, adding a soulful dynamic vibe to the track. This record reveals two visions of the imaginary island of 'Sumatra': one more exciting and seducing than the other!"

Title:	The Silent Running EP
Label:	MORSE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MORSE 001EP

"Modern smooth and very effective minimal-ish techno tracks from the crazy talented Chymera (his previous release did receive great support from DJs such as Carl Cox (#1 in his top 10), Laurent Garnier, Funk D'Void (year end top 10), Phonique, Tiefschwarz, Carl Craig, Mathew Jonson, Spiritcatcher, Josh Wink and many others). For spring '07 there is also a 12" lined up on Ovum records, but first there is the debut of Morse Records from Antwerp. Chymera's mix of deep and melodic techno is already beginning to cause a stir on dancefloors around the world and it's only the start."
