Title:	Back To Back Vol. Two
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 004CD

Mobilee presents the second installment of its compilation and DJ mix series. Back To Back Vol. Two is a two-pronged probe at the heart of the Mobilee aesthetic: CD1 is an unmixed disc of essential selections from the label, all appearing for the first time on CD, while CD2 takes the listener on a DJ's guided tour of the catalog in its living, breathing, electrifying flux. If you still think of Mobilee as simply a "minimal" label, then CD1 should change your mind. Opening with Pan-Pot featuring Vicenzo's lush, piano-led "Faces," the disc presents the label at its most melodic. Most of the tracks are from 2008, but not all: Sebo K's now-classic "Too Hot" comes from the very first Mobilee 12", and is finally available for the vinyl-impaired. Other highlights include label-head Anja Schneider's liquid and hypnotic "Belize," Sleeper Thief's heart-rendingly deep "Cenotes," Marc Antona's caffeinated and off-kilter "One More Sugar," Marco Resmann's haunted "Gouache," and Jennifer Cardini's restrained (yet raving) "August In Paris." Rounding out this impeccable collection, are two exclusive tracks from GummiHz, presented here for the first time in any format. GummiHz -- aka London-based Alexander Tsotsos -- takes the reins on CD2, delivering a seductive mix of no fewer than 27 tracks from Mobilee's catalog, all re-edited and re-combined into a single session that positively ripples with energy. Some edits were made in Logic, but for spontaneity's sake, the mix was performed in real-time in Ableton Live. Even serious collectors of Mobilee have never heard these cuts played quite like this, making Back To Back Vol. Two an essential purchase for long-time fans and new listeners alike. If CD1 shows a more sensitive side of the label, CD2 presents Mobilee at its most muscular. Clockwork polyrhythms, spellbinding sequences, psychoactive leads, riveting riffs, and washes of background ambience swirl together into a streamlined groove machine. A very special mix, for a very special label. Other artists include: Exercise One, Duplex 100, Prosumer, Magda and Marcin Czubala.

Title:	Select & Bounce
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 009EP

"London based GummiHz a.k.a Alexander Tsotsos of Greek origin, started a long-term relationship with electronic music as a DJ in 1994. For the last four years he has been producing tracks to incorporate his own ideas to offer a more unique sound to his DJ-sets and also to perform live. Alex has a passion for producing elastic/rubbery frequencies for bodies to respond to, hence the nickname of GummiHz. Main influences are the minimal house and techno scenes of the past, the present and the future. He is part of the fast growing minimal scene around Argy, Ed Davenport and some more talented musicians from London. The A-Side track 'Isolate' is a percussive minimal groove monster, opening up the mouth with a radiation emergency rave signal from time to time. Dangerous! 'A.A.K.N.Y.' on the other side has a similar concept with a lot of tension build ups and releases in its layers."

Title:	Modern Dynamic
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 013EP

"GummiHz's second release on Mobilee comes straight from the bottom of his heart. The Concept of Modern Dynamic is based on developing grooves by manipulating the dynamics of a sound, rather than composing melodies. A1. 'Gomma Elastica' consists of a steady groove with a few surprises taking place in the sonic spectrum and a dominating FM tone evolving throughout the arrangement. It is the kind of tune that delivers pure freakness on the dance floor. B1. 'The First Time' is set in a deeper atmosphere with a sweet electric piano groove appearing in the end, reminiscent of the starting time of deep house. Agony develops during the first minutes of the track, leading to a relaxed groove in theme with the sweet summer breeze."

Title:	Bar Loca EP
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 022EP

This is Greek artist Alex Tsotsos' third release on Mobilee, and Bar Loca EP is the first time 4 tracks have appeared on a Mobilee 12". As Gummihz, he keeps his concept of unnatural bouncing, twisting and elastic groove patterns alive, delivering some booty shaking frequencies. "Temptation" is a layered atmospheric piece of music with a steady, tight drum arrangement. "A Casa" is a simple groove with a dominant sub melody. "Los Los" has an energetic groove and a synth line that pays tribute to an older Detroit sound. "Twisted" is a sublimely moody groove -- the perfect tool for the dancefloor.

Title:	Mind Games
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 031EP

"Desire" sounds dark in the hands of GummiHz aka Alexander Tsotsos. As restrained as ever, GummiHz lets the tension build while static rustles in the underbrush. A gravelly voice mutters "desire" over and over, and it's clear that this is a psychodrama of the bleakest kind. "Hypnotize" bases a menacing melody on the tritone (aka the "devil's interval"), but a nimble bass line and a sprightly beat counterbalance the creepy-crawly high end. Keep your eyes on the pendulum and let go.

Title:	Under The Sun
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 039EP

This is GummiHz's fifth EP for Mobilee. Under The Sun rapidly draws you in with ceremonial beats and hidden hypnotic layers that slowly rise to the surface. Innocent, yet quite provocative, "Under The Sun" will bring audiences to an emotional peak on the dancefloor. "You And Me" (feat. Ruxsandra) features a more rhythmic composition. A female presence impels the audience to the dancefloor with swaying hips. A sensual, slightly dark and minimal arrangement with a dynamic organ thrust.
