"This time we invited our heroes Format:B for another sonic adventure to kick out the jams at the ever lame seasonal beginning.They came across again with 3 new bad ass trax, doing their very own weird version of what is called minimal tech house nowadays. The Format boys always include some strange, unexpected turnarounds and audio tricks but still remain true to the holy jack. As such, these tracks shall make some floors pump hard and party even harder."

Title:	Steam Circuit
Label:	HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	HIGH 054CD

This is the first full-length release by Berlin's Format:B. Steam Circuit comes with a lot of pressure and fun, but by all means is so much more than just a load of hot air. Franziskus Sell and Jakob Hildenbrand always stand out on the Highgrade label with their highly energetic tracks, which are strongly club-oriented without losing musical sense, funkiness or the joy of playing around. Their EP releases Like A Techmachine or the extremely successful Bronson Road are little milestones in Highgrade's label history. Steam Circuit presents new work, plus some of their most successful tracks so far, presented in the form of a DJ mix that demonstrates their whole spectrum: from the dark, bouncing "Edding 850" to trips into more acid-like areas with "Boot Cut" or the easy-rollin' stuff like "Like A Techmachine." When vocals are in the game, Format:B goes one step further "Si Pero No" has the clear potential to hit the scene like Pier Bucci's "Hay Consuelo" did. In cooperation with Jake The Rapper on "Something Suitable," they combine their trademark sub-bass lines with hypnotic sounds and deliver in combination with Jake's vocals the perfect instant-club-banger. All in all, it's a wild ride on the zeitgeist of club sound -- powerful tracks which seem to never lose their breath.

Title:	Split Pot Inhouse Mixes
Label:	OPOSSUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OPSM 016EP

"With their Split Pot EP, the Format:B guys have shown us once again that you can play for high stakes with the cold-bloodedness of a Tennessee bourbon distiller, so that Mount Everest will seem like a piece of fly shit on the rim of a fruit plate -- as long as you know your enemy's hand! Seems like they knew it: even half a year after the official disclosure of its content, the Split Pot EP still remains a highly sought-after trophy of vinyl lovers, Beatporters and Soulseekers all over the world. And just like it goes with poker, the Opossum is upping the ante and throws in the highest hands of his own posse. Right after the Format's, Moritz Piske travelled slipless to Seattle. Now he's back with two extra suitcases of panties that were thrown at him on his tour, though he didn't even have to ask for them. Of course, that has made his pocket rocket soar with the enhanced self esteem of his deep groove, resonating each second. In a case like this, you better make sure your trousers are as baggy as they have to be for their contents to fill them! In his 'Humatronixmix,' Dub Taylor introduces the prototype of his very own man-machine which is obviously programmed only to march strictly forward and has no reverse gear at all. Meanwhile, Broombeck mercilessly beats the big drum with his stunningly huge Clapperhands and the Minipossum newbies Abonné finally score with a summer night's dream, mashing up Rabbit Hunt and Full House their very own way. No doubt a winner's hand -- as good as it gets nowadays, in any case!"

Title:	Vivian Wheeler
Label:	STIL VOR TALENT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SVT 015EP

"Their second release on Stil vor Talent. After massive tracks on Opossum and Highgrade Records, their newest EP on Stil vor Talent is another huge minimal monster. 'Kongo Time' is typical for the two Berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched-out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum'n'bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. It's definitely going to make you trip out for sure! On the flip, it's the funky 'Mondo Time' that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. A huge organic sub bass and some chopped-up vocal samples add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4, you really won't be able to hold your feet still. Format:B are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!"
