"After an excellent album
Service Station
and a string of very successful 12" releases that silently or maybe we should say silent alarmingly, brought Highgrade to the forefront of Berlin's today school of music institutions, Tom Clark sums up what's been coming up. A thick cut and majorly crackling cross section of Highgrade acts like Todd Bodine, Magnetic Base or Format: B, that became all currently successful on various other labels as well mingles with the label's freshest tearjackers Jens Bond, or Phage and Daniel Dreier to get a full-on sneak preview. Furthermore, tracks from guest acts like Tigerskin or SCSI-9 and of course, tracks by Tom Clark himself round up an intense Berlin sound hour, an appropriate update of Highgrade listening & bodyjack pleasure a la Tom Clark."

HIGH 031EP
"On our journey within the global minimal house orbit; we are happy to pick up Russian tech-house Kosmonauts unit SCSI-9. Anton Kubikov & Maxim Milutenko alias SCSI-9, known from their releases on Kompakt and elsewhere, gave us two charming tracks, to spread their glowing vision of Moscow's electronic starry sky into the global village. On their debut EP for Highgrade they come up with their more house-y side: two lighthearted but deep tracks, touching Detroit landscapes, as well as Berlin/Cologne and French ones and adding their very own touch, beautiful! Tom Clark couldn't resist to remix such compelling stuff and created a track a la John Tejada, something between minimal house, pure energy and tech disco, Highgrade at its best!"

"We are happy to welcome a well known guest from the international minimal house scene for an outstanding intermezzo at Highgrade -- hello Mr. Tigerskin. Tigerskin, a splendid artist with records on labels as diverse as Dessous, Morris Audio, Resopal and others. German and international top imprints, produced for us two rather nontypical tracks -- compared to his recent output -- showing us his deeper side; and he does it so well! Two stunning tracks for your maximum pleasure, somewhere in the twillightzone of deepness, hypnosis and true madness -- enjoy it!"

HIGH 036EP
"Highgrade is back with another smash by our heroes Phage & Daniel Dreier, a crew having an enormous flow at the moment, be it on the wheels of steel, as an explosive live act or on vinyl. They submitted us three more minimal trax out of their dark chambers, dry as hell, hypnotic and psychedelic, but with such an outburst of creativity and flexibility you just can't categorize these trax. We are pretty sure these trax will validate some floors on their stableness; file under hypnohouse and keep the damn frequency high!"

"After his stunning LP on Tresor records in 2006, Todd Bodine drops another musical bomb with his 4th release -- and probably best -- release on our platform! Once again, Todd squeezes and tortures his machines to the maximum, delivering 3 excellent, psychedelic, enthusiastic minimal techno trax. Todd proves his reputation as one of the top acts once more, now it's up to you to drop the bomb!"

Service Station Remixes Part I
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 038EP
"After the acclaimed album release in 2006 Highgrade and Tom Clark proudly presents the first single called 'Service Station,' and this one comes around with the spearhead of the producer guild, Guido Schneider, Phage & Daniel Dreier and Mike Shannon show us their own interpretation of Tom's alluring tune. Guido Schneider starts the round dance, dreary soundscapes meet cabalistic vocal snippets and melancholic analog lines to end the first introducing in a perfect arranged drum work and orchestrally punch line. This remix shows the dazzling array of a guy like Guido Schneider, he is in the position to produce a minimal monster with a straight selected peak time temper, hands up! The first remix on the flip was produced by Phage & Daniel Dreyer, well known for their high class releases and remixes on labels like Highgrade and Klang, tied up to producers like Troy Pierce or Ricardo Villalobos, always minimal but with a very special touch to animate the crowd, another rocket! And if you think that will be enough, no chance dude, the next mania: Mike Shannon came to kick up another fuss and he definitely did it the best way, hard pumping basskicks for hard-minimal freaks, clever arranged hi hat works and an unbelievable sound structure comes to the highest point. A perfect synthesis of seductive sexy grooves and a relaxed monotony which gives this remix package a very warm and special charm."

HIGH 039EP
"This time we invited our heroes Format:B for another sonic adventure to kick out the jams at the ever lame seasonal beginning.They came across again with 3 new bad ass trax, doing their very own weird version of what is called minimal tech house nowadays. The Format boys always include some strange, unexpected turnarounds and audio tricks but still remain true to the holy jack. As such, these tracks shall make some floors pump hard and party even harder."

Service Station Remixes Part II
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)

12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 043EP
Remixes by Paul Ritch, Billy Dalessandro. "Paul Ritch, one of the key figures in 2007, with killer releases on such diverse labels as Resopal, Paradigma, Fuma Killa and Get Physical, remixes 'Fragile Elements' into a dark and moody piece of minimal tech, while Tom's own remix of 'Service Station' shows what Tom does best, giving us a totally dry but pumping interpretation of that already insane track. Chicago's very own Billy Dalessandro, having releases on Force Inc. and his own imprint Siteholder, comes up with a post-Chihouse killer born out of Tom's 'Twentyfourhours,' giving tribute to the Berlin-based minimal scene as well as to his own historic homeland, bouncy, minimal and funky 'til the very last second!"
Artist:
COLLINS, ANTHONY
Title:
Cannibale
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
HIGH 044EP
"A new guest artist signing for Highgrade, Antony Collins, one of France's upcoming stars in the minimal/deep house scene comes up with his
Cannibale
EP for Highgrade. After some successful releases on various European labels, such as Darkroom Dubs (Soma Sublabel), Miniscetch or Get Physical, to name a few, Antony chose a real man-eater track for his Highgrade debut -- 'Cannibale' is a glittering, long and deep journey into the heart of modern deep-house. Tom Clark and Daniel Dreier as remixers tear up all the meat from the track giving it a typical Berlin-style treatment resulting in a dry and hypnotic groove (for those who know). Last but not least, Antony's 'BlaBlaBla,' a euphoric and deep bow towards early tech-house (nu groove, etc.) sums up this perfect debut."

Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 049EP
"After looking deeply into Berlin's minimal house scene and extended family in the previous releases, Highgrade features mainly international artists in this release. Three artists/projects from three different countries: Ung and Bastos from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil raise the bar 'high' in the first techno/house track remixed by label boss Tom Clark. Jackspot, a popular minimal project from Lisbon, Portugal, comes in with 'Brainstorm' -- after a soft start, the number grows more and more quirky with sick rhythms to end in euphoric house heaven. Finally, Homm und Popoviciu's 'Deaf Sniper' brings us back to Berlin. The German/Romanian project delivers a minimal and hypnotic house move to take you to the top."
Artist:
HEINRICHS & HIRTENFELLNER
Title:
Bazar Inflagranti
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 051EP
"A double pack of musical energy: After their EPs each on Highgrade and Highgrade Digital and their highly anticipated contribution to the Highgrade anniversary compilation Heinreichs & Hirtenfellner go for the number 51. With 'Bazar Inflagranti' on the A-side, they show courage for strong contrasts: they mix a pushing bass line in the background, staccato-like vocals and some Arabesque ingredients to a wild mixture, the result works surprisingly well. This one will meet the dancer's taste, come hell or high water. On the flipside with 'Delayed,' they let the bleeps circle around, seasoned to taste artfully. Creating an irresistible groove built from weird vocal cuts, discreet chords and dubby sounds. This one's á la carte!"

Catalog #:
HIGH 052EP
New Highgrade artist
Asem Shama
has releases on Spiel-Zeug, Frisbee and Sportclub. "Midas" is a twisted, forward-minded track. "Kabuki" comes along with a solid groove made of irresistible dark stabs and dubby tabla-sounds. The
Pan-Pot
remix on the flipside squeezes the last bit of energy out of this heavyweight of a track, thus making this EP a perfect release.

Catalog #:
HIGH 053EP
Highgrade's head-honcho
Tom Clark
and Berlin talent
Markus Schatz
present
Hot Choc
. The original version playfully swings with an easygoing groove.
Tom Pooks
remixes with a whole lot of jacking energy. Punch meets hypnotic deepness. The edit by
Markus Schatz
is a real inferno made of funky bleeps and weird sounds.
Artist:
FORMAT:B
Title:
Steam Circuit
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 054CD
This is the first full-length release by Berlin's
Format:B
.
Steam Circuit
comes with a lot of pressure and fun, but by all means is so much more than just a load of hot air.
Franziskus Sell
and
Jakob Hildenbrand
always stand out on the Highgrade label with their highly energetic tracks, which are strongly club-oriented without losing musical sense, funkiness or the joy of playing around. Their EP releases
Like A Techmachine
or the extremely successful
Bronson Road
are little milestones in Highgrade's label history.
Steam Circuit
presents new work, plus some of their most successful tracks so far, presented in the form of a DJ mix that demonstrates their whole spectrum: from the dark, bouncing "Edding 850" to trips into more acid-like areas with "Boot Cut" or the easy-rollin' stuff like "Like A Techmachine." When vocals are in the game, Format:B goes one step further "Si Pero No" has the clear potential to hit the scene like
Pier Bucci
's "Hay Consuelo" did. In cooperation with
Jake The Rapper
on "Something Suitable," they combine their trademark sub-bass lines with hypnotic sounds and deliver in combination with Jake's vocals the perfect instant-club-banger. All in all, it's a wild ride on the zeitgeist of club sound -- powerful tracks which seem to never lose their breath.
Artist:
HOMM & POPOVICIU
Title:
Urban Ballroom
Label:
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
HIGH 055EP
Homm & Popoviciu
have made a name for the Romanian sound with releases across labels such as
DJ Hell
's International Deejay, Non Zero, Immigrant and Sub Conce. On "Urban Ballroom" they send a massive house-groove on a trip, alongside a swinging bass line, decent melodies and springy percussion, combining a perfect funkiness and deepness. "Contact" is a little more dubby and "Wipp" is a little more speedy. Homm & Popoviciu deliver new house in a new shade.
