Label:	EINMALEINS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	EINMAL 021EP

"The series of remixes on previous releases of Einmaleins is being continued and this time under the microscope of Buenos Aires Barem (Minus, Foundsound) and New York Camea (Clink, Klickhaus) is the Maffia EP by Pan-Pot. On the A-side, Barem's interpretation is pressed with characterized snares and swirling techno sounds, a tight techno track that is grooving and rolling all 7min. On the B-side, Camea gives us her individual point of view on the track's components. Cuts and falling sounds, a lovely background of noises are the parts of this straight techno track that can make the dancefloor shake!"

Title:	Popy & Caste
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 002EP

"Two years ago three ambitious students met at SAE in Berlin and started to share their love for minimal techno, house grooves and artificial sounds. Passionate DJ Tassilo Ippenberger (Tas Toyo) and former cook Thomas Benedix also started to throw their own parties where one night Marco Resmann aka DJ Phage plays a set. Together with Marco's longterm friend Arne Ziemann all of them got down in the studio one day and found the Pan-Pot project as perfect symbiosis of four ambitious, passionate electronic music lovers. Throwing their huge variety and their audio engineering background together they quickly found their own groove strongly influenced by the origins of house and the omnipresent minimal techno sound of today and present it on their first outing ever."

Title:	Pan-O-Rama
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 003CD

A little less than two and a half years after its conception and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix CD and one sub-label later, Berlin's Mobilee releases its first artist album. Naturally, who better to represent the milestone than Pan-Pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to Mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of Europe's most exciting labels. Pan-Pot is the duo of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, and Pan-O-Rama finds the boys stretching their sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). Call it "minimal" if you must, but this ain't no clickity-clack shit. You can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of Plastikman's darkest nights. You can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. Tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance music's DNA worms its way into twisted new shapes. Eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listener's own head creep across the stereo field, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century Noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it. But Pan-Pot never lose their grip on the groove, again and again coming up with supple, subtly morphing beats capable of animating dancefloors. And even with a sense of dread lurking in the shadows behind every handclap, there's light at the end of the tunnel: "Faces," featuring the deep house producer Vincenzo, sparkles with distant bell tones before opening up into a luscious interlude overlaid with delicate piano chords. This is body music, head music, dark night of the soul music.

Title:	Obscenity EP
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 005EP

"Pan-Pot are at the time without a doubt the freshest producers and DJs from Berlin. Since their first release Popy & Caste on Mobilee the three guys earned a lot of attention. We are happy to present their second EP Obscenity on Mobilee which is a real minimal monster for the clubfloor. With their new tracks 'Randy Ho' and 'P.O Box' the virtuosos of sound will show us how warm wintertime could be. You'll love the basslines, which will leave you open-mouthed on the dancefloor. The release has the feeling of an early morning -- very dewy and so fresh. Call it minimal, call it crisp and cool, call it whatever you like. For us it's the untouchable Pan-Pot style from the heart of Berlin's underground."

Title:	Black Lodge
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 012EP

"The Black Lodge is known as the extradimensional mystery place in David Lynch's Twin Peaks. We don't want to know Pan-Pot's exact relationship to Laura Palmer -- but the new Mobilee release contains two extradimensional tracks that contain countless rooms with endless sound creations. It's the third Pan-Pot Release on Mobilee and it seems that the boys are on the mission to create their very own shelf in the minimal techno circus. A1 - 'Black Dog' is produced by Marco Resmann, Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix. B1 - 'Black Widow' is produced by Pan-Pot's Tassilo & Thomas. 'Black Widow' is a very playful track with a lot of changes in different directions. The Widow is spinning it's small net bouncing from one end to the other. The atmospheric final is the most beautiful sound landscape we have heard in the last time. For those who know -- only a very famous musician from Detroit could have done it better."

Title:	Back To Back Vol. Six
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD/DVD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 014CD

The sixth edition of the successful Back To Back compilation series from Anja Schneider's Berlin club label Mobilee is solely ruled by Pan-Pot this time around. The beefy package includes two CDs plus a DVD. Pan-Pot handpicks their favorite 2011 Mobilee releases on the first CD while a condensed version of their own creations can be found in an arousing master mix on the second CD. And for the first time ever, the personalities behind the music can be seen and heard in a bonus DVD tour document. This release provides a visual and audible insight into their creative work in the most compact form possible. MTV director Sebastian Radlmeier follows the duo on a 12-month tour through Europe's most crucial clubs and festivals, inviting viewers behind the scenes through a magical experience. The DVD experience introduces Thomas Benedix, the quirky jokester from Brandenberg and his counterpart, the more aloof and rational Tassilo Ippenberger from Bavaria. Diligently selected snapshots depict stories from the guys' innocent years in Templin and Chiemsee to their first rendezvous with Mobilee founders Anja Schneider and Ralf Kollmann. Photos and footage are worked in congenially with original music and commentary from key scene figures from the likes of MTV's Markus Kavka, producer Dubfire, fellow Mobilee artist, Sebo K and Mobilee booker, Diego Moreno Gibbs, binding everything together. In the material, the guys give commentary from tour cities such as San Francisco, Detroit, Warsaw, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires, yet never lose sight of their home base, family and friends in Berlin. The absolute highlight of the film is the live appearance with Sven V�th in Ibiza. Snippets of Pan-Pot's music can be heard on the DVD but on the second CD, it's fired from all barrels. A melody of past releases is taken apart and re-imagined through exclusive tracks, loops and sound splinters, creating a compelling music piece. Three further rare pieces such as the fascinating remix from Slam's techno classic "Lifetimes" successfully complete the flip side. The first CD celebrates the "Best Of Mobilee 2011." The signature of unique personality-filled producers is noticeable in each of the 11 club tracks, featuring artists such as Maya Jane Coles, Anja Schneider, Martin Landsky, Rodiguez Jr., Miss Jools, Hector and And.Id. Back To Back Vol. Six draws a spot-on portrait of Pan-Pot situated in their environment. DVD is PAL format, region free, German language with English subtitles.

Title:	Pan-O-Rama
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 029LP

Double LP version. Pan-Pot is the duo of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, and Pan-O-Rama finds the boys stretching their sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). Call it "minimal" if you must, but this ain't no clickity-clack shit. You can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of Plastikman's darkest nights. You can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. Tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance music's DNA worms its way into twisted new shapes. Eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listener's own head creep across the stereo field, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century Noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it.

Title:	Confronted
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 054EP

Pan-Pot is back with a vengeance on Confronted. The title track's deadpan vocal delivery is courtesy of Eva Padberg, adding frigidity, waves of static, rolling bass lines, and stabs of synthesizer. "Face To Face" is a metallic track -- everything from the sparsely-placed percussion fills and stuttered melodic tones to the hashed vocals have a distinctly piercing and noisy texture that feels perfectly at home alongside thunderous bass lines and exploding waves of pandemonium.

Title:	Confronted - The Remixes
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 061EP

Adam Beyer and Jesper Dahlb�ck present a harder version of Pan-Pot's "Confronted" that is even more driving, industrial and gargantuan than the original with blurps of noise and static, thunderclaps and distortion. Martin Landsky's remix explores a softer side. The rawness of the original is maintained, but in a more melodic form. Percussive accents add a nice touch, and the vocals are slowed down, backed by a crisp bass melody, tinkering percussion, and a driving bass drum.

Title:	Captain My Captain
Label:	MOBILEE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MOBILEE 071EP

Pan-Pot's new tracks put forth glacial soundscapes so epic they could sink the Titanic. If it's possible to say this, "Captain My Captain" is actually the more restrained and studied of the three, featuring vocals written and recorded by Los Angeles-based studio vocalist Cari Golden. On "Black Horse Down" and "Bad Photocopy..." think dark and heavy, builds and drops, synths and loops -- true 4 a.m. grit to get your hands in the air and keep you raving until dawn.

Title:	Lost Tracks EP
Label:	TRUE TO FORM (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TTF 006EP

"Visiting Tokyo's Shibuya district is like stepping into a scene from Bladerunner. Towering neon billboards blast advertising messages in indecipherable script (to the western visitor) while underneath a seedy world of clubs, bars, stalls and shops selling dubious wares forms an exhilarating network of the unknown. Pan Pot's lead track from their next release on Berlin's True To Form label captures the mood of a visit to Tokyo's decadent district perfectly. It begins with an ominous rolling bassline spliced into sections by an oriental percussive instrument soaked in reverb. Sinister pitched down vocal stabs and subtle percussion nudge on the urgent beats before erupting into a climactic breakdown built around off kilter synths and rasping snares that submerge into a cavern of reverb before diving back into the beats. Like Shibuya it's tense and thrilling in equal parts and a sci-fi vision of techno's next step. 'Zero Hour' is more minimal in its approach but no less insistently funk fuelled. Machine stabs of white noise and pitched down vocals interrupt a cacophony of rolling bass that develop into a tense assault course of breakdowns and beats. Both tracks are a welcome return from the duo, Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix. Their debut album, Pan-O-Rama, was an acclaimed debut long player for Anja Schneider's Mobilee imprint and this next release on True To Form is a worthy addition to the label's stable of artists that now includes original artists and remixers like Samim, Claude Von Stroke, Pascal Feos, Subjekt, Jesse Rose, Mikael Weill, Tom Ellis & Leif and Gavin Herlihy."
