Title:	I Love My Camouflaged Consumerizm
Label:	BOOGIZM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	BOOG 008EP

"This is S-max' first solo-artist EP on his own imprint, a 4-tracker showing his personal definitions of contemporary house/Detroity-minimal-whatever... Music! Loaded with his good-acid-trip-cartoon-style, armed with bleep'n'bassline-funk+ bitcrush-soul, here we go deeper into that Boogizm-space, ranging from moody outerworldliness to 'Kick-it!'-disco. Boogizm ventures further into the non-cliché- personal, modern, while maintaining danceablility first class. One half of Boogizm-crew delivers sonic guerilla tactics, erasing mediocre boredom-keeping it playful and free. 'Further proof that club techno with soul is not yet an extinct artform' with collaborations with Daniel Bell/Jay Haze/Ark/DB the Boys widen their field of operation, definitely funkatizing your world."

Title:	Wake Up to Ape-Like Perfection EP
Label:	BOOGIZM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	BOOG 011EP

"New solo-artist EP by one half of Boogizm's S-Max, who's Make Somebody Happy EP has been released right now on the well-respected French Telegraph imprint, shows some other aspects of his donkey-doodle-disco skills. Here he sings and whispers along his beats'n basslines, creating hi-tek house of a solid, bumpin' yet unorthodox beauty. Everything is possible under the sun, change is the only constant! We're welcomed by a surprising sleaziness, increased temperature-rising floorfiller-factor included-funked up bassline, S-Max whispering, screeching digits -- housey (whatever that means to you) and more sweaty than ever. After 'Dopebeat-Skeme' everything is reduced, sonic ambush of a gentle kind catches rays of love, shining bright from the centre of your existence. Flipside, warm and even more housey with S-Max singing and a decent moodiness unfolding into realms of undisturbed peace and harmony. Slo-mo Motorcity-soul deepens inner purification and bangs alike! Destroy all concepts, erase all mental data and see things barely, directly, realizing their naked presence, experiencing their inherent qualities to enlighten what's taken as you and purify your mind! Another step towards unspoiled truth of heart in the field of house -- again the sonic alliance of Boogizm delivers hi-quality clubmusic for those who are receptive to signals of a less familiar tone, while maintaining gourmet-nouveau danceability. Funk accompanies every step of our brave comrades on their path to liberation of all minds to be found."

Title:	Free Your Monkeymind EP
Label:	BOOGIZM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	BOOG 014EP

"A-side features Mike Shannon's remix, that's the first time getting any Boogizm-signal on 45 rpm, this interpretation showing his personal strength of gaining danceablity with a personal, funky approach, here quite harmonious, Detroit-y and ready to rock, building up tension slowly and gradually. The B-side is S-Max's tracks on 33 giving another example of his Boogist approach to contemporary club music without losing track of freedom and tradition. 'Taoist Afro Sputniks' features a heavy, bouncey bassline funkin' its way along Detroit-y chords and beats knowing early acid tracks, yet working right here and now. 'Inner Nothingness' rolls quite deep and dubby, rather minimalist and somewhat darker, yet funky and bleepy -- digging and restoring neuronal crossings long forgotten. The EP ends with the first locked groove on Boogizm in ages -- and on and on and on..."

Title:	Lovebombing EP
Label:	KARLOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KARLOFF 023EP

"His outstanding releases on Telegraph and 7th City are dating back quite a while now, so it's about time for Boogizm boss S-Max to work in the field yet again -- this time for Karloff Rekordings! The positivistic battle called 'Lovebombing' is not just another empty phrase now, but the expression of a naturally grown love for the roots of 'electronic dance music' and the pure joy to praise them masterly in an abstract makeup. S-Max's affinity with for many years, and it sometimes even seems to be part of a life concept -- not least in his recommendable DJ sets. However the guy from Wiesbaden succeeds again and again to put his own twisted, quirky stamp on these weighty influences, while he doesn't waste his time trying to be 'oldschool' in a constrained way. Thus the beats are bouncing casually, bass lines and organs matured in the oak vat create a warm and fuzzy familiarity, and finally the bleeps get along again without effect feedback thunder, and without neglecting their galvanizing purpose."
