Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 002EP

"Following up a large wave of appreciation and an instant sellout for their debut 12" from exciting new lands with another hype jammy, already heard bothering the airwaves twice on Ms Hobbes. 'Narcotik Dub' is a dubstep-techno roller full of effects and noises, influenced by all that's current in the ongoing fusions of four/four music and dubwise science. 'Springz & Wires' mixes large rhythms and effects drawn from a palette dripping with dubstep, techno and breakbeat influences. Helixir is a producer from Strasbourg, east of France. He started producing techno in the late '90s and enlarged his skills with dubstep music in 2004. He's a live set artist and has already produced a few tracks with his crew's label Sens Inverse Records."

Title:	Undivided
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	7EVEN 002CD

7even Recordings is proud to present the debut album from French electronic music explorer Helixir. Back in his early days, Kevin Martin aka Helixir was affected by his first strong musical experiences listening to Frank Zappa, AFX, Quasimoto and Plastikman. A drummer, bassist and guitarist, in 1997 he founded the experimental jazz rock combo Maelstrom, and soon became interested in working on sound montage on a Tascam mag-tape. Kevin also discovered the computer universe and started to explore new possibilities for his music. A new world appeared, a natural extension of the instrumental world, where Kevin could experiment with many new techniques to blend seamlessly and creatively. Kevin cuts, pastes and distorts notes, beats, waves, genres and effects. He explores these concepts further also as part of Strasbourg's Sens Inverse Crew, playing live at parties in the east of France and in Germany. Recognized for the quality and versatility of these productions, his style is impossible to label -- it is known simply as the "Helixir" style. A master of programming, sound mixing, bass science and EQ, Kevin always surprises and never does the same thing twice. Just listen to his four prior 12"s on 7even Recordings and you'll find different tempos and genres at work: dub, breakbeat, dubstep, drum & bass, indo and techno flavors. Mala, Untold, Mary Anne Hobbs, 2562, F, Ramadanman and Brendon Moeller all support his music. With Undivided, Helixir takes us on board for a deep sonic exploration. This album is not a mere compilation of tracks: this is a story, a musical trip, a vehicle to bring you somewhere else altogether. Press play and let yourself be transported. Two tracks are exclusive to this CD.

Title:	Helicraft/Dub 4 P
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 005EP

Helixir's back for his second 12'' on 7even Recordings! Helixir do it again with "Helicraft" and "Dub 4 P," blending all kinds of influences, from dubstep to techno, jungle, breakstep and dub, produced and executed with immense attention to detail. "Helicraft" is a mad track -- wicked beats, techno loops, old school sounds and tricky mixing potential make it a killer cut. "Dub 4 P" is a real smasher, rolling on a broken riddim and bringing the horns to the dancefloor. Killer.

Title:	Convultions/Let Me Drive Now
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 011EP

Second release by Helixir on 7even Recordings. Recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of French electronic music producers, the man from Strasbourg presents two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style. "Convultions" is a real dancefloor weapon -- the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass that becomes more and more insistent. "Let Me Drive Now" brings us through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres. Beautifully and tightly produced.
