Artist:	DASO & PAWAS
Title:	Night Express EP
Label:	FLASH RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FLASH 005EP

"This is the first EP on Flash Recordings that doesn't feature label owners, Florian Meindl and Oliver Koletzki. But they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. No one else than Cologne-based artist Daso -- renowned for his previous releases on labels like MBF, Session Deluxe, Ghostly and Connaisseur -- teams up with his buddy Pawas to create their first release 'Night Express' on Flash. Pawas has just had his first record out on Adam Kroll and Markus Müller's imprint Squonk Records and has been a DJ for 9 years, moving from India to Cologne one year ago. On the A-side, Daso & Pawas present 'TGV': a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. 'ICE' -- the name of Germany's high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. A slightly broken beat with a thumping, organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric, high-pitched synths. Never too much, this is a perfect example of elegant understatement. Also on the flip side is the track 'Bummelzug,' which translates as 'very slow train' in German. This is a dub-techno masterpiece. Deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. Dreamy, hypnotic, melodic!"

Title:	Bummelzug (Remixes)
Label:	FLASH RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FLASH 010EP

"The two hotshots and old friends Daso & Pawas that have just produced the spectacular Det EP for Spectral Records are the first ones to be given a full remix EP on Koletzki's and Meindl's collective label Flash Recordings. Remember Daso and Pawas' Night Express EP and the tune on B2 'Bummelzug'?H.O.S.H. turns it into a shining minimal piece of fine electro house that keeps on building and building and building until he finally shows mercy and strips down the track slowly but elegantly and then starts adding his own elements that include a wonderful warm bass and some great female vocals. In an extremely uncanny way this rework keeps reminding us of our first club moments, but you better listen for yourself - this is huge! The boys from Dirt Crew take a more direct approach that is nonetheless thrilling. A strong four-to-the-floor loop and some nicely-placed pads anticipate what there is to come: a dark and hypnotic techno track with dirty bass blops, the wonderful xylophone melody from the original, a great new synthy melody and the original pads that are deeply rooted in the background. Perfect for the floor! At the end of the day, it's night: that's why Daso & Pawas take their turn on the controller, too, and present an after hours mix of their own track. More pads, more sounds, more build-ups and wind-downs and a relaxing, driving beat. It might sound like a simple recipe, but believe this: it will work wonders at the after hour."

Title:	Det
Label:	SPECTRAL SOUND
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SPC 058EP

Slowly moving and turning, "Det" is the sonic equivalent to watching the ocean: great changes are constantly occurring. The title track is a subtle classic, marrying the most elegant points of house and techno into a sublime whole. Schatrax's remix adds a modernized house sound to the original, like a depth charge of bass to the ocean floor, where iridescent creatures emerge from the shadows. The propulsive "Brazil To Detroit" is an imaginary pathway through both grit and beauty.
