1-800-Vincenzo
Label:
DESSOUS (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.50
Catalog #:
DES 001CD
1998 release. Berlin-based DJ and producer
Vincenzo Ragone
's debut solo album is an acid-tweaked club masterwork that gained worldwide attention and established Vincenzo as an internationally respected producer. Vincenzo's serious interest in music began as a teenager, listening to hip-hop and other styles of black music. Later, in the late '80s, when acid house reached Europe, he was infected by the sound and energy of this new type of club music. He started out his DJ career playing at small clubs and private parties and soon Vincenzo found himself involved in the Hamburg club scene.
"The album establishes Vincenzo's reputation as a worthy contender amongst international house producers."

Catalog #:
DES 012CD
2007 release. The smart and charming Berlin-based producer
Phonique
(
Michael Vater
) returns with his second album, featuring a limited edition bonus CD with 12 more new Phonique tracks in one mix.
Good Idea
is a twinkling rainbow, teeming with positive vibes and breathing the cosmopolitan creativity of a widely travelled mind.
Good Idea
can be described as modern electronic music in the broadest sense, it's difficult to pigeonhole the album as it combines so many influences, ranging from deep- to electro-house, from nu-disco to hip-hop, from lounge to minimal and techno to pop. Phonique and his production partner
Alex Krüger
join with the talents of well reputed artists like
Erlend Øye
(
Whitest Boy Alive
,
Kings Of Convenience
),
Richard Davis
,
Ian Whitelaw
,
Shadee
and
Rodney Hunter
of
Aphrodelics
,
Data MC
and
Marc Hype
as well as top electronic producers like
Steve Bug
,
Gui Boratto
,
Vincenzo
,
Zoo Brazil
,
Badmouth
(
Mazi & Cass
) and talents such as
Ruben
or
Liora
. The collaboration highlights of the album include "Casualities" (featuring Erlend Øye), which merges uplifting airiness with melancholy in the distinctive Erlend way; the soulful "Worked It Out" (featuring Ian Whitelaw and Meitz) and the powerful "Computer Kidz" (featuring Shadee). But the flow of the entire album makes it difficult to pick out just a few tracks. On the second limited edition bonus CD, you'll find the more dancefloor-dedicated facet of Phonique's creativity in a homogeneous and highly dynamic mix by Phonique. Another twelve all new Phonique tracks fall into place perfectly, ranging from deeper to electro to more minimal and techy house tracks. The mix reflects the unique dynamics of a Phonique DJ set.
Good Idea
is a strong musical statement; fresh, inspiring and innovative.

Catalog #:
DES 014CD
The second volume of Dessous'
Best Kept Secrets
compilation series takes an extravagant leap into the current and future sound of Dessous spread out over 2 CDs, including 10 full tracks and a superb, detailed mix by
Steve Bug
. Heading off the journey on CD1 is
David Durango
with "Striptease" and also his unbelievable "Human." You'll then pass through the delicious phases of
Ryo Murakami
's "Off The Wall" -- an exclusive track that takes a deep, extended trip into modern Chicago house. Continuing that vibe, the modern bounce of
René Breitbarth
's "Le Groove Rhodes" will have you in raptures.
Moodymanc
serves up his very special "Omlette," with
Dplay
providing remix duties to perfect effect, while new cat
Andrade
contributes an exclusive track of cheeky, bumpin' house.
Burnski
hands in a tweaking, jacking jam that's full of top-class production and smooth, pushing house elements; while newcomer
Claire Ripley
adds her refined touch. Closing the first CD, you'll find
Graeme Clark
's (aka
The Revenge
) ecstatic slo-mo-house version of Ryo Murakami's "Just For This." None other than Dessous man-in-charge, Steve Bug mixes the second CD which is positively packed full of unmissable tracks. Clocking in around the 70-minute mark and throwing up 15 extra tracks into the mix, it's an absolute burner. Opening with the haunting tones of Breitbarth's "Detective," the mix segues into the compilation's third new exclusive cut in the form of
Tigerskin
's "Voodoo": bizarre vocal wanderings and chunky beats set the tone from here on in.
Robert Owens
backed by
Berkson & What
join in, and
Matthias Meyer
's psychedelic remix of David Durango's "Perfect Day" rushes through. Running into depth-charge house with Moodymanc's "Snore" and
Sascha Dive
's "Secret Dub" of
Two Armadillos
', you'll be enthralled as Steve Bug masterfully holds the reins tight! Two cuts from Claire Ripley feature, including
Gorge
's hotly-drummed remix of "Labyrinth," and also her original hypnotic "Utopia." Steve drops
Langenberg
's "Alternate Rhythm" before
Solomun
's "Woodstep" creeps onto the stage. There's another fantastic Burnski cut, and Ryo Murakami's mix of
Innocent Lovers
burns through before the closing bars of Moodymanc's "Omlette" completes the blend. It's a classic mix, seamlessly displaying the vast array of talent available on the ever-growing Dessous imprint.

"Sarabbath" on B1 is a fine and dark mixture of crisp beats and glitchy percussion, creating a forceful groove as spluttery synth stabs keep up the incessant pressure. Cuts of Mazi's vocal twist things just a bit more evil, as the house-edged mood continues its push further into new depths of mayhem. The driving melody in "No Exit" on B2 is quite a head-turner and should create a stir in the clubs, using the more minimal and melodic side of this great 12".

James "Burnski" Burnham
is one of the UK's most prolific and talented house producers. Having already contributed a run of beautifully-created records to the Dessous and Poker Flat catalog, it's time for his next elegantly-crafted EP. The title track fuses casual, classic deep house drums with a totally hypnotic synth theme, surrounded by liquid percussion, fantastic panning and filtered special effects and storytelling elements. The track builds in the great tradition of true late-night, atmosphere-setting deep house.

Echonomist
presents an infectious blend of deep house fused with techy modern production on his debut for Dessous, featuring vocals by

Do You Know
sees Jamie and Owain drop some serious sunshine grooves -- shuffling hi-hats and a classic, Chi-town synth let you know that this is all about the good times. The spoken word vocal pays homage to forgotten jazz legends. "Keep It Pumping" drops the tempo to 118bpm for a Balearic-tinged nu-disco stomper. A dub of "Do You Know" rounds off the release.

has been responsible for some sublime moments in house, both on his own label, and for imprints such as Liebe*Detail, Drumpoet Community and Poker Flat. Informed and influenced by the classic Detroit sound, Langenberg produces yet another exceptional transmission. The title-track is as smooth as liquid gold, yet contains a dub-tinged techno edge reminiscent of Langenberg's
Ribn
project with
Manuel Tur
