Artist:	WINTER, ANDRE
Title:	Trauma
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IDEAL 002EP

"André Winter needs no introduction. He's been around for ages, pushing forward dance music in many different ways & styles. Most recently he co-produced the insane Dubfire & Huntemann collabos Diablo on Cocoon and Ideal Audio. And now he's back with a super strong solo release. The A-side 'Trauma' comes with a slight after-hour-feeling; with its drifting beat construction it makes sure your psychiatrist still has some work left to do. On the B-side the name of the game is 'Karma.' As the title implies, it's a really deep and conscious tune with a stripped-down rhythm, 'hands in the air' chords and exciting sound effects. Great work! This guy simply knows how to calm euphoria!"

Artist:	HUNTEMANN, OLIVER
Title:	H-3
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	IDEAL 005CD

German producer Oliver Huntemann presents his third solo artist album -- his first full-length release on Ideal Recordings. Huntemann had great years in 2007 and 2008, with remixes for The Chemical Brothers, Depeche Mode and Underworld, as well as arguably the biggest track of the year in "Dios," co-produced with Dubfire. On to 2009, Huntemann continues his career-long form with H-3. Consisting of two CDs and 15 full-length tracks, H-3 is unpretentious dancefloor music which combines elements of techno, house and electro to create a long-player which truly captures a sound that only the artist himself can claim as his own. Linear, driving arrangements, metallic synths and shuffling rhythms twist throughout while fractured melodies occasionally surface, resulting in something which sums up Huntemann's personal journey through electronic music through to his veteran status as producer and DJ. With a passionate belief in letting the music do the talking, Huntemann has kept a low personal profile, hand-picking projects he can invest in properly, and H-3 is the superb result.

Title:	Dogma
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	IDEAL 008EP

André Winter delivers his second exclusive Ideal Audio release, Dogma. It is dark, it is hypnotic, it is modern techno music. The original amazes with its number of sequences, which Mr. Winter twists and turns. Beats and rhythms clash one after the other, creating a mysterious and threatening, yet curious atmosphere. The B-side offers Pan-Pot's treatment of the track -- massive and somewhat housier, bringing exciting sound effects to the surface.

Title:	Aquaree
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	IDEAL 009EP

Andreas Henneberg delivers a massive EP for Ideal Audio. "Aquaree" is dark and deep with impressive sequences that build up and up, and then drop you from above. "Gentle Push" starts slowly and then becomes more playful. The beat speeds up and it feels like a kid is tickling your feet with great composition techniques that allow the track to weave in all directions. "Shove" is perfect, bass-heavy, mysterious techno which gives you the creeps, but in a good way.

"Sunstep" balances the harmony between darkness and light -- it is groovy and energetic while intertwined with a heavy bass-line. "Feel High" develops gradually, leading you to a state of happy intoxication. And, finally, "Solar" is deep tech-house with a trippy melody that will definitely do the trick in the early hours.

Heavyweight producers Oliver Huntemann and Dubfire reveal the first piece from their Elements series. "Fuego" is Spanish for "fire," and it lives up to its name 100%. Be careful, because this track will make the dancefloors burn. With each subsequent play, you notice more and more melodies, beats, instruments... techno at its richest. Killer percussions come midway and build up the sound explosion. You are left with a sense of sweet anxiety and an adrenaline rush.

Title:	Play! 03 (Live) Cielo/New York
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	IDEAL 013CD

After D-Edge in São Paulo and Rex in Paris, German producer Oliver Huntemann selected the Cielo Club in New York to record his third compilation in the Play! series. Cielo is like no other. Tucked cozily in the ultra-hip Meat Packing District, and having won numerous awards for Best Club in New York, it seemed the perfect pick for this special project. Unlike the previous two Play! compilations, Oliver offers his fans a longer journey through the bounty of electronic music. The two CDs allow the listener to grasp the full mastery of Oliver behind the decks. The mix begins with a touch of deep techno, strong bass and trippy melodies. The hypnotic opening prepares you for what follows next. "NYC (Keep On Playin')," a track specially produced for the compilation, summarizes perfectly the mood that Mr. Huntemann is looking for. He closes the first CD with a co-production between himself and Dubfire. The duo, with their proven ear for great techno, leave you with the most perfect of cliff hangers. CD2 sees Oliver building the second half of his set with progressive tunes that are beautifully woven into the strong bass line of Andreas Henneberg's "Aquaree" and André Winter's "Magma." A perfectly balanced mix that holds your attention from the very first second and proves once again, just why Huntemann is one of the world's most sought-after DJs. All in all, a masterpiece compilation with a pristine tracklisting. Other artists include: Extrawelt, Martin Landsky, Josh Wink, Matthias Tanzmann, Axel Bartsch, Jake The Rapper, T. Schumacher, The Glitz, Dimitri Andreas, Mutant Clan, Maetrik, Rodriguez Jr., Sycophant Slags, Wighnomy Brothers, Mike Mind, Hobo, ADJD, Roberto Bosco, Pascal Mollin, Pan-Pot, Abe Duque, Virginia, Octave, Hatzler, Shlomi Aber, Pattrix, Cari Lekebusch, and Clement Meyer.

Title:	Paranoia
Label:	IDEAL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD/DVD
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	IDEAL 020CD

A vanguard of electronic music, Oliver Huntemann's truly universal appeal lies in his ability to consistently produce some devastatingly brilliant electronica, illustrated by the fact that he has remixed the likes of Underworld, the Chemical Brothers and Depeche Mode. The longevity of Huntemann's distinguished career rests upon his ability to consistently progress and develop his sound. Despite this constant evolution, few would argue that Huntemann is synonymous with an honest brand of deep and intricate electronica which is evident on this exciting new release. The precision and skill with which Oliver Huntemann expertly engineers his songs together with his studio wizard and co-producer André Winter is once again apparent on Paranoia, which maintains the lofty standards already set by previous albums and his musical output. On Paranoia, Oliver Huntemann's prowess and versatility as a producer is evident, from the space-age minimalism of "Magnet," through to more melodic, upbeat productions such as "The End," in which warm sounds resonate through the listener. Moreover, tracks such as "Phantom" and "Tranquilizer" are sure to appeal to those who love techno that is expertly programmed and synth-heavy, creating dramatic sonic soundscapes, which transport the listener away to another world. Paranoia features a number of beautifully-crafted tracks aimed purely at the dancefloor which are guaranteed to excite Huntemann's legions of fans. Both "Delirium" and "Dark Passenger" are "heads-down" tracks full of pulsating bass, thudding rhythms, twisting synths and metallic industrial sounds, and are guaranteed to be a favorite for many DJs. Similarly, on the hypnotic "Rotten," a spoken-word vocal is looped over a robotic beat which captivates the listener, drawing you deep into the song's core. The calibre of the vocalists which feature on the album illustrates the high regard in which Oliver Huntemann is held by his peers. "Hope" sees a notable appearance from the world-famous and highly sought-after American vocalist Robert Owens, whose mesmerizing vocal contributes to produce an anthemic tune which is undoubtedly one of the album's standout tracks. Also from prime electronic stock is the supremely talented Danish singer Ane Trolle, who has previously worked with Trentemøller. On "Wahnfried" she lends a wonderfully delicate vocal to a slow and intense atmospheric beat. And to make the release even more special, there is a free bonus DVD with an accompanying set of videos. Oliver has commissioned a hand-picked group of global film-makers, and some musical peers in Sebrok and Xenia Beliayeva, to produce a video for each track. The videos further explore the themes from the album, and are a fantastic addition to the release. Once again Huntemann has delivered a compelling and memorable album which keeps drawing the listener back into its darkest depths again and again. DVD is European PAL format, region-free.
