Artist:	MISS FITZ
Title:	Drifting On/Drifting Edit
Label:	CONTEXTERRIOR (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	CNTXT 021EP

"Miss Fitz, who is indeed unmarried, although not of Anglo-Norman heritage as her surname might suggest, has made quite an impressive mark in the world of minimal techno since appearing on the scene in 2006. After several EPs and tracks for a number of respected labels, Berlin-based Miss Fitz joins the Contexterrior crew for the release of 'Drifting On.' A regular feature in her own DJ sets as well as label boss Jay Haze's since late 2007, this is undoubtedly the most requested track to be released on Contexterrior in recent memory, as fans have been sending endless emails and MySpace messages demanding to know when it will be released on wax.

With 'Drifting On', Miss Fitz holds a séance for the high priestess of soul, crafting a seemingly pure and simple (but deceptively so) slow-burner. The carefree lyrics are delivered by a comforting alto voice, repeated in contrast with the looming synth pads that form a somber, meditative tremolo. She tastefully processes the vocals while gradually introducing more percussive elements, resulting in a powerfully soothing groove that manages to capture a multitude of moods within its extended duration. On the flipside, Fitz takes a more playful approach with 'Drifting Edit', splicing up the vocals and effortlessly integrating them with the housier beats. It's still smooth and mellow like the original, but with a sunnier vibe and a more assertive flair, geared toward the feet rather than the head."

Title:	Dementia/Woods
Label:	CONTEXTERRIOR (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	CNTXT 028EP

"On her second EP for Contexterrior, Miss Fitz returns with two spaced-out tracks that continue her exploration of natural timbres within the tech-house domain. Since her production debut, Miss Fitz has made quite a name for herself. Especially fruitful for her was 2008, with her Nina Simone-sampling hit 'Drifting On,' a third EP for Raum Musik, and a full-length under her birth name, Maayan Nidam, for the Japan-based Phantom Sound & Vision. She also paired up with Vera to debut the project Mara Trax on Love Letters from Oslo, and worked with Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves for their sophomore EP as Uli Künkel. Whew! Now, for her tenth 12" release as Miss Fitz, she continues to weave organic elements into hypnotic soul food for hungry dancers. These two cuts show Nidam's knack for infusing imagination into her work: 'Dementia' features a distorted voice whispering the track's title, backed by a distinctive wind instrument melody, plus lots of primal percussion. It's detached, yet in-yo'-face. On the flip, 'Woods' offers more of a bounce and thump, encouraging the listener to 'work!,' 'jack!' and 'boogie!' -- a jam for roller skating rinks on prehistoric Neptune."

Title:	Hawaii Via Miami
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 062EP

With Villalobos mix. "After releasing a record on Raum...Musik in 2006 already together with Shaun Reeves, Maayan Nidam aka Miss Fitz now comes through with her first solo release for our label. Maayan recently has released quite a few records on different labels and has drawn more people's attention towards herself and her music. Even Ricardo Villalobos is a big fan of her work and so he offered to support this release by remixing one of the two featured tracks on this EP. This dreamteam delivers us three stripped down pieces of electronic music that are focused on creating a supertight sound and atmosphere without using a lot of elements. Especially Ricardo's mix will only show its real beauty if being played on a proper soundsystem. We are very happy with this release and we wish you lots of fun!"

Catalog #:	RAUM 066EP

"Our next release is from Maayan Nidam also known as Miss Fitz. She already has released two records on raum...musik so this is her third release for our label. Maayan keeps herself quite busy with releases so actually there are no more words necessary to introduce her. Deep house darling Sascha Dive supports her by remixing 'Colici' and so two of our favorite artists deliver a strong release for our 10 year anniversary. Like always we wish you lot of fun!"
