Artist:	DASO
Title:	Adventure EP
Label:	CONNAISSEUR RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	CNS 008EP

"Daso, our newest signing, is one of the world's most charming maniacs. Born in Poona (India), he was raised up in Lower Saxony and now lives in Cologne. He already gained fantastic reputation through his releases on Traum's housy sublabel MBF. His first release on Connaisseur will feature his more techno-oriented side, without losing his melancholic, beautiful and extremely kickin' sound. We are very happy to welcome Daso with his awesome three-tracker on Connaisseur and suggest everyone to check out his live act. He is a real rocker behind the laptop; skilled clubbers from Zurich to Tokyo can confirm this. 'Sam N'Max' is a deep rumbling techno track with a mindblowing bellish sequence and snappish hi-hats. It's the perfect match for a sweaty peak time techno workout. 'Beneath A Steel Sky' is the B2 track. The queen of German minimal, Anja Schneider, called it 'Mädchen-Techno' and damn she is right!"

Title:	Absinthe EP
Label:	CONNAISSEUR RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	CNS 013EP

"Daso Franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on MBF and Connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. After having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. He takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under 'Absinthe's' massively woozy influence."

Title:	Tinnitus
Label:	CONNAISSEUR RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	CNS 022EP

Daso is back with his third release on Connaisseur. This newest output has a specific theme: tinnitus. Daso kicks asses with the A-side, and heralds the open-air beach party season with the B-side. "Tinnitus" is a rumbling techno machine -- a ringing sound sidles through a dull echo chamber -- like tinnitus. This track will cause states of raving emergency on the dancefloor. "Pars Tensa" features a knobbly but hypnotic acid bass line matched with a Spanish guitar. Outstanding.

Title:	Daybreak
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12014EP

"Daso is by far the youngest artist on MBF. He has already produced with German indie rock singers like Jens Friebe (Intro magazine). But with the upcoming MBF release Daybreak, Daso has created his first dance maxi. It ranges from Paris house to German new wave music. Daso has put all of his soul into these two tracks... playing chords that even Moby could be proud of. He has included a rob to vocoder voice.... tragic and beautiful at the same time. Daso fuses a post '80s feeling with the big basslines of today to create a hybrid of a special kind."

Title:	Go Upstairs
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12018EP

"With his debut record Daybreak Daso has managed as one of the only producers in Germany to combine his indie past with his new house influences in an authentic and credible way. His first release went straight to many charts. With a lot of elegance and noticeable emotional density, he embodies a youthful version of what Etienne De Crecy and Phoenix represent. The title track 'Go Upstairs' is a accomplished continuation of the Daybreak theme: the processing of subconscious '80s experiences. The tracks combine the bombastic and monumental sounds of the '70s with the airiness and melancholy of the independent scene of the '80s. 'Until I Find You' is also a wonderful swan song to a great night."

Title:	Daybreak Remixe
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12024EP

The debut track by Daso, which was post-produced by Emanuel Geller and Riley Reinhold, was a small hit on My Best Friend. Now, one of Germany's hottest producers Oliver Koletzki has remixed it alongside the upcoming star Skat from the French label, Karat. Oliver has taken the track to newer grounds, picking up on a totally different beat and adding a more uptempo, electro feel to it. Skat's remix is hard jacking with a lot of understatement on the one hand, and with a strong passion for the groove one the other hand.
