Title:	No Passport EP
Label:	MILNORMODERN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MMR 015EP

"Following their remix for Noze, DOP come up with their first EP for Milnormodern. Soulful and funky, these tracks caress your speaker's membrane. Saxophone, piano and the human voice are excellent leading actors. But DOP leave nothing to chance and back up their creative short stories with a terrific cast -- excellence down to the smallest part. Consequently, Noze -- soulful brothers in mind -- give a guest appearance in 'The Riot.' With the No Passport EP, we have the final proof: in France, the future of electronic soul is being developed."

Title:	God Bless The Child EP
Label:	MILNORMODERN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MMR 016EP

"Two in a row for dOP and MMR. Following their No Passport EP, the lovely three Frenchmen throw in God Bless The Child. Starting out with 'Foly' - a heavy fusion of African chants and percussion with flowing jazz grooves. Jaaaazzzzzz, baby! Well well, who else could remix such a track other than Jena city hero Robag Wruhme? Yeah, absolutely -- no prisoners to be taken on this one. Robag keeps the deepness of the original, straightens the groove a bit, and adds some juice in the bass frequencies. Flip around, and we find it softly flowing again: easy sax lines combined with engrossed vocals keep it movin' for 'Cum With Me.' 'Zero Zero' then substitutes sax for piano and once more dOP impress us with their soulful funkiness that makes them so unique. God bless France!"

Title:	Panik
Label:	MILNORMODERN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MMR 018EP

"The French project Dop is not simply one of those real 3-man combos which are not all that often to be seen in the world of club music. A really dynamic trio, who torch everything live if it ain't moving. An extraordinarily self sufficient band with a nonchalant manner of combining live instruments, singing and electronica on point as if it was the easiest thing in the world. There is also still the right balance, where fun and deepness clash, leaving the absurd and chunky elements out of the picture altogether; hence the fine details. There are still scores of mighty deeds waiting in the future, as well as on this fine 12" (already the 3rd Milnor Modern) with a degree of timelessness. Seldom have such unerring club thumps, the essence of a jazzy swing and musical pretense ever so close together, that the nightly congregation can completely be in agreement -- head music for the extremities with the beatitude still intact; cool entertainment is introduced. A1: Panik: An absolute street jam housed in a classic length! As if the Violent Femmes strolling with the jazz collection of their fathers explodes upon contact with a high voltage cable. So much promise -- so much delivered in just 3 minutes and 15 seconds of sweat breaking out! A2: Panik (Krause Duo Rmx): Dop on the electric chair from Krause Duo! You just know there is going to be some joyfully rapid hand movements feeding the MPC. A super happy Krause with an impactful fulfillment of sweeps and bass drums without toot and voice swept under the rug. B1: Ikarus Melancholic songwriter art meets transcendental club music. The long living and compulsive combination of song and track, long since a summer afternoon veranda-house driven with a perfectly evened-out balance between pressure and space. B2: Nature Boy A short opus driven of voice, tenor sax and military drums encased in a temporal gloom, on which the hopeful beauty of the autumn is carried."

Title:	The Lighthouse
Label:	ORAC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ORAC 028EP

The Parisian trio Dop presents The Lighthouse. "Lighthouse" is balanced delicately between techno and house, making it a bridge track to push all kinds of sets in new directions. There are also chunky beats, raw jazz flute buzzes and a soulful vocal. With "Merci," Dop stretches out more towards techno, adding layers of gently warbling synths to make a calm yet sinister track. "Under The Rain" ends things with an experimental sound collage poem -- musique concrète for the after-after-party.
