Title:	Ruidos y Frecuencias 2
Label:	APNEA (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	APNEA 012EP

"Damian Schwartz has decided to complete the second installment of his 'Ruidos y Frecuencias' saga, which he inaugurated with the fabulous 'Ruidos y Frecuencias 1' (Apnea008). This new chapter, 'Ruidos y Frecuencias 2' (Apnea012), which has already being praised by Richie Hawtin and his own minimal wild bunch, is all about techno obsession, keeping the same modus operandi: sampling the noises and crackles made by a broken ASF valve preamp, Damian Schwartz readjusts techno coordinates playing his favorite game, that one where he goes deep & mental, showcasing his skills for innovating through mad frequencies, unstoppable rhythms and martial landscapes."

Title:	Verde Confetti
Label:	CMYKMUSIK (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	CMYK 007EP

"Damián Schwartz comes back to CMYKmusik after the big success of his previous release, 'Azul Frio,' on Alex Under's label. Recently he presented his new label, Mupa, and his new release as Musica Charlista (the project he shares with Alex Under) on Apnea. Verde Confeti is a three tracks forever lasting EP. 'Fueron Dos y Volvio Uno' confirms us the awesome and always unpredictable Damian's jazz and techno skills. 'Hablo Sin Motivo Aparente' is another vocal trip, deep and hypnotic, touched by alien frequencies. The last track on the best Damian release to date is 'Persona de Pocas Palabras,' a personal tribute to Robert Hood..."

Title:	Morado All Estar
Label:	CMYKMUSIK (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	CMYK 018EP

"Purple (Morado in Spanish) means balance, concrete reasoning, experience that has managed to crystallize in the complete knowledge of things. That's why, since it's Damián Schwartz, the election of this color to paint CMYKmusik last release ('Morado all Estar,' CMYK018) could not be more appropriate. The Madrilian artist, after his last and superb works for Mupa, is living through an authentic awakening. He knows what he wants and how he wants it, and now more than ever, his talent flows without restrictions. With 'Tralfamadore,' Schwartz returns to his astral and dark techno, capable at the same time to exude soul and elegance by means of that special formula he dominates as nobody. Killer bass lines and perturbing vocal samples, utterly attractive. 'Morado Pilgrim' is the perfect ending to this personal tribute to the novelist Kurt Vonnegut, with endless and crazy synthesizer sequences livened up by delicate and magical congas."

Title:	Cyan
Label:	MUPA (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	MUPA 001EP

"Mupa, a label created by the Apnea and CMYKmusik artist Damian Schwartz. Mupa stands for 'musica para alguien' (music for somebody), that is the concept behind the label, a series of tributes to certain persons and/or concepts. Three exclusive, rhythmic and melancholic tracks by Damián Schwartz: music full of disturbing details, twisted sounds and samples -- Damián elevates his maximalist techno to a new level of perfection. In 'Dos Track' he collaborates together with Pilas, one of the best Spanish DJs and a future groove star, giving a lection of tech deepness. 'Cuatro Track' is the remix by Tadeo of a track that finally has not been released in this 12"...a true tribute to the Motor City, elegant and danceable from start to end."

Title:	Cosas Que Se Caen
Label:	MUPA (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	MUPA 002EP

"Damian Schwartz is back home, this is, Mupa, his own label, with the second installment after the supreme Cyan. And, believe it or not, Cosas Que Se Caen is the most innovative and addictive techno Damian has ever produced. In our sincere opinion, one of the best records of the year. The rhythm is born here, with no regrets, just pure and simple movement. Three new tracks that slowly build a serious depth and maniac precision; naked percussive elements which are shaped beat by beat with the addition of frequencies, noises, microsamplers and groove non stop. The moodiest piece of techno you will hear for a long time, three dancefloor killers for all night long. In other words, pure genius."

Title:	CosasQueSeCaen Remixes
Label:	MUPA (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	MUPA 003EP

"The best tracks produced by Damián Schwartz, 'Cosas Que se Caen,' deserved a special treatment, so the remixes are here, directly from Buenos Aires and Madrid. The Argentinian new talent Barem, with releases for M_nus, Foundsound/Unfoundsound and Goosehound, takes 'Las Abuelas' and re-works an incredible hypnotic remix, where an analogic rhythm and a constant mental bass get your heart and mind, travelling with you to unknown territories. Side B is for Pilas, another new star born in Madrid... and, ufffffff!!!!! What a deeeep killeeeerrrr: the remix for 'Tú y Yo' is one of those tracks that will burn every club in the world, a serious piece of techno that fuses Classicism with Futurism, building an aura of eternity... you have been warned..."

Title:	Party Lovers
Label:	NET28 (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	NET28 003CD

This is the debut full-length release by Spain's Damián Schwartz. After some wonderful releases for CMYKmusik, Apnea and Mupa (his own label), Damián Schwartz's debut album is here to be enjoyed as one of NET28's biggest releases of 2008. One of the key figures of the NET28 family, along with Alex Under, Tadeo and Imek, Damián Schwartz's sound has evolved from the visceral and futuristic techno of its origins, to the warm, cerebral and deep groove of Party Lovers. This evolution shows Damián's ability to create a constant sound flow where all kinds of influences blend together. "I had the album all laid out in my head way before I began work on it in the studio. My goal was to synthesize all the roots & influences of my musical background together with constant investigation of new sounds, searching for a homogenized piece of work, where everything could make sense." So, it is easy to see traces of Chicago's early house melted with Damián's techno sound and rhythm design approach. The result is new, refreshing and original, without a doubt a timeless dance machine. "In the past few years I have had a chance to perform in many different clubs, and the interaction with the audience's need to dance has enabled me to develop a modus operandi and musical concept that is completely new for me. I wanted to reflect this change in my music." Party Lovers is all about recollection of instinctually good moments -- an album that reflects what club music means for the artist: the connection that arises between music, mind and soul. Body movement as we knew it has changed forever.

Title:	El Malo
Label:	OSLO (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSLO 011EP

"Damian is known for his contemporary interpretations of modern club music, and has had some very successful releases. He's an artist that always surprises with new ideas and his own aesthetics in music. This EP contains two very deep techno tools with a very analog feeling. Both tracks are incredibly hypnotic and powerful. 'Plastico' basically lives from its moving bass line -- the rest is perfectly complementing garnishment -- and 'Barrunto' confuses with piano chords and South Amercian vocal fragments while the track itself stays loopy. All in all, a dark EP that fits perfectly to the dark winter clubbing season."

Title:	Holloway
Label:	OSLO (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSLO 015EP

"Damián Schwartz - now for quite some time a member of the OSLO family - is an artist whose name is now explained by itself. Already with the EP 'El Malo' represented at OSLO, now he presents us the next hot disc on OSLO - Holloway. Damián submitted us the same title to the EP on the A side. It shows his amazing 10 minute construction, his interpretation of modern sound in 2009 and the audience is caught by his percussive, groovy mood. It closes on the B side with 'El Rey' in a title with no less quality. This house track brings the party to its climax with his driving bass lines. 'El Rey' leaves nothing to be desired."
