Title:	Glue EP
Label:	COMBINATION (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	CORE 039EP

This is the second 12" release on Combination by Germany-based Douglas Greed aka DJ Real. Possessing a daydream-like touch, Glue EP recalls trips to well-designed parks and sips from sparkling beer glasses. "Hypnotize" features a mesmerizing bass line before giving way to a breathy melody. After that, it goes onto the dead straight beats of Hemman & Kaden. The record closes with "Koto 125," a circular, barely-there, languid shuffle interrupted by purring throbs.

Title:	E=W=M=3
Label:	COMBINATION (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	CORE 045EP

Mr. Greed attests on E=W=M=3 that darkness can include a good deal of hope. His recipe: 4/4 with decency, depth, thoughtfulness and the will to start every new day as a newborn. On the first track, the Sigmund Freud of dance/electronic has his techno-couch placed in nature. "Schwarzteemagen" reveals rough subtlety in heavenly, reflective grooves. "Reviermarkierung," sounds like Greed reincarnated as the Kate Bush of rave and bass. Definitely "Hounds of Love" that are "Running Up That Hill!"

"I want the music to give me goosebumps. Music that moves my heart and soul." --Quincy Jones; These words are in the deepest part of Douglas Greed and the approach to his debut album. He allows his heart to lead, the better to look where it goes. Therein he's distributing straight dope; however, in the sense of emotional impact, dancefloor dictation it is not. Greed crafts music that serves up euphoria for your mind on the terrace, massage table, train or car trip and so on. This album has an enduring touch, and will remain in the mind for seasons to come. This is more weeping or laughing in the mirror rather than admiring the physical. Douglas favors sophisticated simplicity here, a sort of future-pop author who expressions his passions to the fullest. Beauty in darkness is also at play here -- Greed's unique signature. Features musician friends such as Mooryc, Pascal Bideau, Kemo, Ian Simmonds and Delhia de France. Greed casts twelve expressive pulse beats of pure Greed cosmos.

Title:	Madame C. EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 028EP

Douglas Greed is a drum & bass activist from Thuringia, and this is his first release for Freude Am Tanzen. The pillars of this music are melancholy, power and volition, which is paired with tenderness and passion. Confused minds only need a few ingredients to be helped towards a specific determination of the sound cosmos, which is helped by freely breathing. However, as it always is with the music "schizo-aficionado," tender yet powerful odes are required. Mr. Greed makes live laptop action happen, and the musical seeds of dance fertilization cross-breed through the speakers.

Title:	Girlfriend in a Coma
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 031EP

The Dalai Lama of the techno world is back, on a mission to connect the floors of the world and dance away the fast approaching ruin. Douglas, the schizo-capitalistic alter-ego dark side who is actually the chief of a big market perfume chain, hunts the tonal outcry with melancholy. "Ille und Sören" is a dramatic manifest of the most important pillars of acoustic structure: melody and rhythm. "Oktober 17" is the day Morrissey went in through the hospital radio and brought his girlfriend out of the coma, while "Trixie" is a masculine-defiant calculation with the first of its forms barely passing along.

Title:	Beuys Don't Cry
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 041EP

Douglas Greed refines his style on Beuys Don't Cry from a danceable gloom to densely-packed tracks. "If This..." feels extra-terrestrial and romantic -- a dark slice of techno-rag with a slap of house. "Chessbet" is a modern classic with '90s melodies, acid indications and a free-spirited rave-ethos. "Animals Will Only Come To You If You Feed Them" is a tender vegetable soundtrack for an arena of closed-eye dancers, and "A Life Full Of Handshakes" is artistic electronica with a strenuous power.

Title:	St. Eisbein EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 046EP

Swinging tech-emo from Douglas Greed, St. Eisbein waves the banner of melancholy, but it can also be danced to. "Oh My!" is the only piece that is fully-formed. The other two gold nuggets twinkle with that special doughy touch, which also infects the live sets. A clear depth swings with Greed's production constantly, with streaks of courageous bass, snippets of melancholy, voices, and bounce. Douglas Greed is a man of the moment -- especially the moment that rocks.
