Title:	Sleep Traveler EP
Label:	GALAKTIKA RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	GLK 015EP

"This is Swat Squad's second release for Galaktika Records, the Sleep Traveler EP. The brainchild of Oliver Henares, Swat Squad has been published before by labels like Treibstoff and Resopal. Henares also runs a record label of his own, Pulsewith. He mainly plays live, but also DJs. The journey begins with the title track, and what a beginning it is. When the needle drops, our hero (you) is confronted with a series of adventures, one after another, one deadlier than the other. He gets attacked by laser guns, keyboards and walls of sound and always manages to come out at the other end, ready for what's next. On the dancefloor 'Sleep Traveler' will hit hard and show no mercy. On the second track, we find our hero (you) standing tall in an eerie land of ice and mirrors. You aren't cold though, a fire is burning inside you. Unpredictable cuts are thrown your way, but a person with a mission won't stop. This time you're the one everyone should be afraid of. When you drop 'Iceberg' on a club, people will get in the zone and dance all the way through it."

"New jewel from our vault, you can call it 'Barcelona all stars' if you want, 'cos the best from that city is represented in this slice of plastic.

In the track 'Nada' they are proud to introduce Jaumetic on vocal duties as a pop singer: awesome. As you may probably know, Jaumetic is one of the owners of the label Regular, as well as producer for our label Software. If you haven't had enough, Undo and Vickynoise, capos of the Factorcity label make a glorious remix on the A-side for all those epic maximal sound whores. Resume: the best from Barcelona on the best label from Madrid."

Title:	Gecko
Label:	TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAPEZ 053EP

"Oliver Henares from Barcelona created his Alter Ego Swat-Squad with his brother Rubén. The idea was to create an artist platform and organized expos and electronic music parties dedicated to 3D graphic design. 'Escoria' on Trapez 053 is a jacking' tech house monster, based on a seductive rhythm that won't stop, with funky up and downs and last but not least.... with hysteric breaks. The flip-side shows with 'Monterism' and 'Bauhaus' the symbiosis of track and melody."

Title:	Escoria Rmx
Label:	TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAPEZ LTD047

Originally released on Trapez as the A-side of the Gecko EP by Oliver Henares from Barcelona, "Escoria" was one of the big time favorites of Dominik Eulberg's DJ set. Trapez asked Audio Werner, Ryan Crosson and Franklin de Costa to remix the original. The results are 3 knob-twisted, twirling minimal groovers that rely very much on complex beat structure. Audio Werner has written a unique remix which is based on soft and deep basslines, whereas Ryan Crosson jacks up the theme with his nervous energy, and Franklin de Costa added a lot of intricate programming. This is the first record presenting the new Trapez ltd cover design. Composed out of a fresh label layout and a standard printed, black & white disco sleeve.
