Artist:	EFDEMIN
Title:	Carry On -- Pretend We Are Not In The Room
Label:	CURLE RECORDINGS (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	CURLE 016CD

This is Curle Recordings' first CD release and Berlin-based Phillip Sollmann's debut mix CD as Efdemin, following his self-titled debut for Dial Records in 2007. Where Efdemin's earlier production work was focused on slow, abstract house in the vein of Theo Parrish, he has slowly turned to a more functional approach without losing his special sense for deepness. His sound design has become more clear and broad, and he knows just how to adjust old school influences to contemporary listening habits. His unique DJ style, with its eclectic mix of strict but deeply detailed tracks, provides a continual sense of excitement and creates a sense of grace over the night. This is Efdemin's debut mix CD, including an exclusive track by the artist as well as tracks from respected producers such as Scott Grooves, Brothers' Vibe, Minilogue, Dettmann & Klock, Patrice Scott, Surgeon, Photek and Tobias. Avoiding a selection of easy hits in favor of a well thought-out collection of secret weapons, personal favorites and undiscovered beauties, this is a mix that you won't get tired of hearing. The mix is released on Curle, the label that released Efdemin's biggest track to date, "Acid Bells," that topped 2007's charts. Other artists include: The Showroom Recording Series, Craig Alexander, Tony Foster, Stephan Grieder & The Persuader, and Pigon.

This is the highly-anticipated first release from Efdemin since his self-titled debut album on Dial, that -- together with the Acid Bells single on Curle -- received very high critical acclaim from around the globe. After extensive touring, some remixes for Sian, Sascha Funke and Grimes Adhesif, and a track on the Cocoon box, these tracks are his first solo productions since. "The Pulse" is a future dancefloor burner, whereas "America" is more melodic.

Catalog #:	CURLE 035EP

Efdemin has been one of the key artists on Curle since his 2007 debut for the Belgian label, with big releases such as Acid Bells, America/The Pulse, remixes from Martyn, John Beltran & Matt O'Brien, and the mix CD Carry On, Pretend We're Not In The Room. The long-awaited follow-up Please includes two tracks that are around the 10-minute mark; "Farnsworth House" and "Blount." That last one Efdemin made together with his good friend and fellow Dial artist, Kassian Troyer.

Label:	DIAL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DIAL 010CD

This is Berlin-based Phillip Sollmann's debut full-length release as Efdemin, for Dial Records. This self-titled debut gives a summary of past, present and future tendencies. After "Bergwein" became kind of a 2006 summer anthem (high chart positions in Groove, De-Bug, Spex and also German dance charts), he won over a lot of new fans. After moving to Berlin, Efdemin soon got his DJ residency at the legendary Panoramabar, while also playing regular sets with his Pigon-mate RNDM at the Cityfox in Zürich. His remixes and tracks for other labels beside Dial (Liebe*Detail, Curle, Pokerflat, Ladomat, District of Corruption) made their way into record bags of DJs like Laurent Garnier and Steve Bug. As 2006 was already a creative and successful year including some friendly features in the dance press -- Efdemin is working to make 2007 even more successful. The ten tracks on the album vary from experimental minimalism to deep house to straight techno and go further on to after-hour-inspired loop tracks -- although they form a unique and intense unit.

Title:	Kleine Wirrniss EP
Label:	DIAL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DIAL 018EP

"After the ultra deep Dial10, Efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann is back on Dial-rec. The tracks, which are mostly arranged live, have this typical exciting flow again... delicious sounds to be discovered. The logo side starts very low with a loop finding splitter of sound to get up slowly into a minimalistic deep tech track, a 'Post Script Blues' for the shiny floor. 'Colonia' is a surprisingly straight shuffle tune built in Vienna to be loved in Cologne and the world. With 'Isobel,' Efdemin creates a storytelling ambient track so nice and deep as if the spirit of Philip Glass and Brian Eno has fused with the heart of the young composer called Phillip Sollmann."

Title:	Chicago
Label:	DIAL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DIAL 021CD

After the huge success of his self-titled debut in 2007, Chicago is the second album by Berlin-based producer/DJ Efdemin. Chicago, the artist's contribution to urban blues, contains 10 tracks as a result of Phillip Sollmann's immersion into his own archives and experiences -- may it be as a singer in a band years ago, composing theatre-music or playing as a DJ in clubs all over the globe. Each incarnation deals with various influences, although always expressing his unique sense for deepness and his love for dance music. There is jazz, there is house, there is techno and there are his instruments: cello, zither, drums, percussion, organ, synths, drum-machines and several small things like flutes and pipes. Besides techno itself, there are many important influences in Efdemin's music, from different sources and other times -- a cosmos of music that has followed him for a long time and influenced his drifting and melancholic approach to producing electronic dance music, be it the otherworldly music of Chicago-based Sun Ra, the minimalistic jazz/world-music-studies of Don Cherry, the enterprising tape music of Basil Kirchin or the microtonal instruments of Harry Partch. Is this a Chicago house record? No! But the Windy City was the starting point to blow the cosmos with such abstract, lovely music developed in a thousand directions. Arts, literature, architecture, jazz, American folk music, hip-hop, Chicago seems to be the source of reference for so many important movements crossing Efdemin's work.

"After some live concerts and DJ gigs alongside the Vienna and Swiss minimal scene and a remix for labelmate Pantha du Prince, efdemin is back with a new masterpiece. Since he is studying computer music, efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann got deeper into minimal music, from John Cage to La Monte Young. Also filled with inspiration of the post-Hawtin school, his definition of techno speaks a unique language. If you watch his own history you can see a proper change from Detroitish deep house to that special minimal sound, but you will feel the intense way efdemin falls in love with the inner sound."
