Artist:	HEIL, JOHANNES
Title:	The World
Label:	DATAPUNK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DTP 002EP

"Johannes Heil has caught an anonymous vocalist from Tokyo and gives us with Datapunk 02 two high energetic and powerful invocations of the dark side. 'Changes' rocks unmercifully ahead with angry HiTech game scenarios, flanger and high frequency attacks as well as subsonic bass lines; nothing for weak nerves but an extraordinary track with its darkly distorted vocals, which will leave lasting traces in the collective memory of the clubs. Time has come for changes, that's true."

Title:	The World
Label:	DATAPUNK (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DTP 006CD

"The literal sense of music is to transport emotions not money. From the start my approach was to escape this circuit, also as an statement against the slicky and aseptic mainstream popmusic of the 21st century. The image of the critical artist, who is dealing with hushed up topics, does not exist in modern pop music anymore. The main themes are love, sex, richness, honour and the creation of surfaces for perfect marketing instrumentation and not the true & important contents, no matter, if they are in the lyrics or in the music. Consumption is the only content. Johannes Heil wants a lot. It has always been like that. From the first second on Johannes Heil was a huge supporter of Anthony Rother's plan to create a new platform called Datapunk in order to refresh Elektro."

Title:	Future Primitive
Label:	KANZLERAMT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	KA 049CD

"Johannes Heil seems to be like the chameleon. The colours of his music are changing from album to album. When people tried to catch him on the Reality to MIDI sound, he was already illuminating the planet. When they thought to got him at the dark mood of Illuminate the Planet he was again miles away on a trip to the future -- a primitive future. The new album is once again an undoubted typical Johannes Heil album, but again different from the one before. Back to the simple but very effective charming harmonies from the first album he's building up a little planet of sweet dreams and experiences of clubbing and ... Future Primitive with it's elements of Techno, Hip Hop, Electro or Ambient is the so far most versatile and meaningful J. Heil album in aspects of production and expression."

Title:	20.000 Leagues Under The Skin
Label:	KANZLERAMT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	KA 088CD

"Johannes Heil is back with his 6th and best full length album for Kanzleramt on CD and LP. 20.000 Leagues Under The Skin tells from a deep ride under the skin in 12 adventurous chapters. (About microscopic worlds, mystic corporality, hidden procedures, emotional networks and even more.) It's the most epic and deep album Johannes Heil has produced so far. You can find more sensuality instead of radicalism. The album contains more stylistic influences and homogeneity than ever before. 20.000 Leagues is less rave, more music, still techno."

Title:	Freaks R Us
Label:	KLANG ELEKTRONIK (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	KLANG 009CD

"One of the most ingenious techno producers of the last decade. We're talking about Johannes Heil who has been making techno history since 1998 and produced six albums and countless EPs on Kobayashi, Kanzleramt, as well as his own J.H. Records label and many others. Johannes Heil has used his new album, Freaks R Us, to not only reinvent himself but also his music. At long last, he's back to the future of techno.The 12" single from the album, 'Freaks R Us', expresses everything we have always known. Chicago is in the house, newly chrome-plated, detox-treated and streamlined. A track that explodes at every given occasion. 'All For One' and 'Warrior Of Light' are also obvious testaments to Heil's new skills. This is where his unique talent for bass melodies comes to the fore again. This bass formulates one of the simplest subjects in the world: dancing on techno. Without ever becoming kitschy, Johannes Heil creates so much naïve beauty on this track that one can truly say this had been virtually unparalleled since Orbital. This is what Ibiza 2006 sounds like!"

Title:	Remix R Us Pt. 1
Label:	KLANG ELEKTRONIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KLANG 111EP

"These are the first of a couple of remixes that have been drawn from the original tracks of Johannes Heil's notorious Freaks R Us album. Let's start with Germany's dyed-in-the-wool producer Thomas Schumacher's treat on 'The Magician.' Schumacher, who started his career 15 years ago, running his own label 'Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten' since 1998, has always been a non-purist DJ and producer, always swapping between a range of genres within his sets. Next in line is devilish duo Destillat who succeed to top 'Artology's happily jumping mood and deliver one of their finest works yet."

Title:	Remix R Us Pt. 2
Label:	KLANG ELEKTRONIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KLANG 120EP

Johannes Heil's music already got the remix treatment on Remix R Us Pt. 1 by Thomas Schumacher & Destillat, but now it's time for Berlin's finest, Tobi Neumann and London-based Boardroom collective represented by Board & Victorville to twiddle some additional knobs. Neumann's "Swinging Remix" does swing indeed, but with reduced speed and a festival of synthesizers. Boardroom's mix has the same lightness as his predecessor and also an ease of handling the melodies. Their use of this mega bassline is just fantastic.
