"The first female producer from Cologne, K. Lakizz sends out three deep minimal tracks with a special flow. She also did a track called 'Ein Geist gab mir Feuer,' that was released on the Coletiva de Gigolos 12" EP, which features soulful sounds with strange beat-programming. The half-Italian K. Lakizz appears now with her debut EP. It contains magically arranged minimalism with a strong atmospheric mover ('Bayer ag'), an emotional, fragile track, and on the a-side, 'non importa' with a deep bassline, an Italian vocal-sample and important stringsounds."

Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 013EP

"Here comes the next weltZwei release with some more crunch-tech for the Berlin-based label Sender Records. Side A is a new version of the sought-after weltZwei hit 'Auf Empfang' from 2000. With the typical Atari-sounds and the voice of Thomas Schaeben (Kompakt/Firm) the original message is now reinterpreted into english language and mixed/arranged by Schaeben and Blome (one part of weltZwei) for a new impact. 'Simulator' on side B is a typical crisp weltZwei-chipfunktrack, produced by Matthias Klein and Benno Blome. It features a compressed synth-line and distorted airplane-announcements that sound like digital dust."

Title:	Silverstar Bar
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 014EP

"'Silverstar Bar' is a K.Lakizz-typical opus, that spreads minimal magic while running over ten minutes. With its moody strings and sneaky beats 'Silverstar Bar' is creating a certain timeless atmosphere that is relaxing and building an exciting tension at the same time. K.Lakizz' unique style is cruising somewhere between the living-room and the discotheque. Besides Sender she is also releasing on Gigolo Records. Now it's available on vinyl with a faster, more straight-forward dancefloor oriented remix by T.Raumschmiere."

Title:	Grey Noises
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 018EP

"Grey Noises is the follow-up to the favoured Relay EP from the multilateral techhouse-duo Misc. With this two-tracker they are back again to take another step forward. Grey Noises is a technoid floorburner, whereas You can go comes along more housey. Both sides are predestined to be played at the peaktime. Misc. are Christopher Bleckmann and Hannes Wenner, also known for their numerous projects, that are musically oriented in different directions, like for example Niederflur, Monophace, Van Delta or Clubsessel. With Grey Noises they represent explicitly the typical Sender-Sound with crisp noises, funky Basslines and encoded voice messages."

Title:	Cold World
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 022EP

"Cold World has created excitement ahead of it's release. This is not without reason since 'Cold World' is a straight-up anthem -- an obvious hit. The epic-strings in the Trance-Rock mix produce a deep and emotional mood without any doubt. Arms will be up in the air by the time Jake's electric guitar-broken voice hits the mic. The original mix is much more subtle, yet still moving minus the vocals, and reaches the signature crisp-techno-funk of Sender. 'Cold World' will probably be heard frequently in the near future, it's the official winter anthem in the house of Sender."

Artist:	WELTZWEI
Title:	Expander
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 024EP

"The new Weltzwei is here. The project of Benno Blome and Matthias Klein takes it once again with their familiar signal-tower techno, nether-worlds. On the A-side 'Expander' comes along all smooth yet full of the type of vibes that simply beg you to move to the check what De:Bug had to say: 'very dark and dry flashes along with a digging monstrous bass, worked-up acid slices, and a rave-the hunt until the bass-line manages to penetrate into back brain regions. Wow, what glorious deteriorated drug sounds. Ah well, 'Reflektor' gives us a charming B-side. Weltzwei goose bumps seem to be programmed. Glitch-pop vs. ambient noise, the bass-line destroys."

Artist:	BLOME, BENNO
Title:	Satellite City
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 025EP

"The city is full of flashy satellites, circling each other, full of loops that mark the city. In the line of sight, on parallel orbits, dark and pulsing. Benno Blome, the Sender mastermind, wrote a custom made hymn for the 'Satellite City'. Classic Sender-sound: minimal, milling, unobtrusively undercooled but always with this urge of euphoria. On the B-side loops in their purest form. Techno essence. Thirteen battle weapons de luxe. Deploy your antennas and freak."

Artist:	FAIRLEY, JAKE
Title:	Going Down The Road
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 026EP

"Jake Fairley, the unquieted deliverer of heart-warming techno tracks, has done it again: his new 12" Going Down the Road throws us three of these unforgettable

intensive tracks before our feet, which emote the typical Fairley suction force onto the dance floor. The title Going Down The Road comes from a Canadian cult movie that has to do with travel on the roads and highways of Canada. The A-side's 'The Rock' makes its way with easy force and brittle rock planes, simultaneously uncompromising and emotive. The A2 track, 'Highway 10', swings under its porous surface incomparably lax and uninterested in letting you loose. On the B-side there hides 'Oshawa' that some might have heard on Fairley's crisis CD from 2002. Now 'Oshawa' is available on wax for all the dj's and vinyl-junkies out there. Until now it was merely released as a promo B-side which DJ's like Sven V�th and Laurent Garnier shot into clubs worldwide. Jake Fairley combines almost sacral strings with his charming hypnotic funk. A bass line chugs steadfast underneath it all, getting by with what's necessary to make the last few heads flip out."

Artist:	BLOME & GRUMMICH
Title:	Headcleaner
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 027EP

"The first collaborative production between the Berliners Peter Grummich and Benno Blome cleans your ears very thoroughly. Basically, 'Headcleaner' is about pressureful and crackling bass lines that continuously modulate towards the climax. It rocks and grinds heavily with this shrubbing climax that seemably never wants to end. The broken broadband grooves distort the charm of Sender's typical TV tower techno. Benno Blome is the Sender Records chief as well as a member of the project weltZwei which just recently landed a fat club hit with Expander. Peter Grummich we know from his very crunchy releases on Kompakt, Auftrieb, and of course Sender. Soon there will be more in the same place on the same wave?"

Artist:	WELTZWEI
Title:	Expander Remixed
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 028EP

"Weltzwei, consisting of label-chiefs Benno Bome (Sender) and Mathias Klein (Areal), should have sparked the attention of a few with previous releases on Sender. Four remix-assignees were able to continue designing the possibilities for an expansion in relation to the current release Expander where the Berlin-Cologne duo provide a Musical blueprint for 'glorious, decaying drug sounds' (Debug). The first is completed by the Berliner Peter Grummich. His conception of expansion goes by width more than anything else: he lets it bang abrasive and delighted while staying quite close to the original. The Cologne Areal-act Metope moves happily into electro-fields for the sending area of his choice. He even rocks alongside of it quite well with what the stuff has got. Everything is notably set under 120 bpms. The Hamburg dial-chief Carsten Jost, who just recently became well-known for his Swayzak remix, searches underneath the surface of expander for potential further broadening. He is successful. The original is disassembled piece by piece with loving care, every fragment researched for its specific density. Everything is then poured out as a finely disseminated track from some not intuited depth that might remind one of very old Transmat releases. Coming from Toronto lastly we have the old buddy Jake Fairley with his view of things. His sending time is determined to be midnight; his interpretation comes out from the ether, accordingly dark and spooky, in order to give the inclined listener one earnest haunting after the other. There should be something in it for every heart with this rock-solid remix package."

Title:	Trash Talk EP
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 029EP

"The Cologne based producer duo Hannes Wenner/Christoph Bleckmann aka Misc. returns with a suspenseful 4 track EP. After their successful Sender-releases Relay EP and Grey Noises they again demonstrate their extreme versatility on Trash Talk EP. As usual the tracks are characterized by pointy basslines, crisp funk and lucid arrangements. 'Fr�hling In Beton' marches technoid right to the front whilst 'St�rsignal' takes an excursion to the subcutaneous depths of the floor-psyche. 'Trash Talk' comes around extremely deep and marks with well dosed pressure and finest strings hypnotic potentials in the minimal-universe. 'Computable Life' is the blood pressure lowering conclusion of this highly felicitous EP."

Title:	Receiving Data...Ah It's Coming!
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 030CD

Sender label comp, featuring: Carsten Jost, WeltZwei, Metope, T. Raumschmiere, Jake Fairley, Baby Ford, Maetrik, Misc., Sten, etc. "Ready to receive data, we copy. Ok, here's the text: Sender records has been beaming since 1999 with a techno-signal. Sound package 30: 2 formats with 13 digital files and 8 analog pieces from different sources. 5 of them are from new users. All in all they are compatible with one another. End. Data registered, thank you for the message. Response is as follows. Sender is on a new level. It remains fully suitable for the club, however the tracks on Receiving Data...Ah It's Coming! increasingly reveal atmosphere and narrative strength: dance music has never been so home-listenable. Sender embodies not a condition but rather a development. It is as tight stylistically as the concrete base of the tower on its logo. The clear thread, however, lies far away from lay generic commodification. The artists revolt in The shadow of the tower by showing their sharp profile. 'Strahler' pulses with dark showers and static loads. Blome & Grummich are completely inside the signal searching for a release just before the short out. Carsten Jost's 'Lake's Camp' seems rather easy and swingin'. The sun pervades the clouds, the light breaks through the last rain drops that drip down the glass facade. Yes, the music of Sender incorporates urbanity with the tower being its highest symbol. There is enough of the continuous big city cess-pool and industrial romance. This compilation sounds sensible as if representing humanized music. It is best to look out from the observatory platform of the city and hear this (second) Sender panorama. This a machine indeed: still rustling, crackling, and sharpened like sand in the engine of the tower's rotating restaurant."

Title:	Blood From A Stone
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 031EP

"Jake Fairley has given it his all once again coming out of a stint in German exile. He left nothing untouched to please Sender fans. This was again accomplished well in the face of temporary home sickness. A majestically throbbing bass line builds the basis for the a-side 'Foreigner'. The Sender rave is off and running with marching snares and an ultra-crisp breakdown. It could be called rustling stadium techno funk of the highest grade. Jake Fairley makes the impossible possible on 'Blood From A Stone' by fusing the gigantic rave with the small sweaty club in an arty kinda way. Apparently, Fairley has found a little island in between Toronto, Berlin, and Cologne that drives him with strong inspiration."

Title:	uccellacciuccellini
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 032EP

"Known for his excellent work on Klang and Dial, Carsten is one of those producers who consistently delivers and here is just the latest example. Focusing on two spins off the same idea, Carsten raises the stakes with a sumptuous chording over a finger clicking, snappy house workout, faintly reminiscent of the baby ford school, all the elements are familiar but the execution is singular, muscling into a powerful acid segment which is just dynamite. Flip and again those chords to die for, tempo raised just a touch and just watch the momentum of this cut for full dancefloor raising capability. The breakdown employs a brittle melodica to great effect and the impact is large -- impressive."

Title:	Split_2
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 033EP

"The second split features again one artist per side. After the first with Vincent Radar and Trike it's Basteroid from Areal and Vocophon aka Andreas Leifelds turn. As opposed to the first, which turned out dark and crispy, the second split became a bit more twinkle-toed. But with enough pressure. as always at Sender. Basteroids nerd with a bird comes out of the same work period as his big hit from 2003 against Luftwiderstand which just hit the stores again with a Weltzwei-remix. Vocophons 'Konzentrat' can also be found on the Receiving Data compilation-CD. For a perfect dawn."

Title:	Rocket Skating EP
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 034EP

"After the sensational Pinksilver disc, the solid hit from 2002, Carsten Jost is back with a new release for Sender. His remix for Expander of Weltzwei (send028) also drew a lot of attention including a licensing for the current mix-CD of Sven Vath. Carsten Jost, who just recently migrated to Berlin, continues his extremely deep style on Uccellaciuccellini with two adrenalin-pushers of a special kind. The title comes from Passolini's Italian film with the same name and stands for big birds / small birds. Besides Sender, Jost also releases music on his own label Dial as well as for Ladomat."

Artist:	STEN
Title:	Restless
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 035EP

"Who the hell is Sten? May be a new talent from Scandinavia? Far from it! He comes from Hamburg and is already known as Lawrence and a co-founder of the label Dial. He gave his Sender debut on the Receiving Data compilation with the track 'Faces'. Sten is the rougher, dancewilling brother of Lawrence. Romantic with full of desire appear the two tracks 'Restless' and 'Frost'. They go to the core. Dry basslines, chimes and melancholic strings give their honour on restless and invite you to indulge into the deep atmosphere."

Artist:	METOPE
Title:	Second Skin
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 036EP

"Metope from Cologne -- for his first own Sender 12" he chose a programmatic title: Second Skin. Under the first layer lies a second. To begin with, Metope creates tension. At the base is a beat with razor sharp accents, in between a funky distorted bass. Keyboards shove psychotically. Bleeps evoke deranged flickering; the hi-hat bestows an ordering buzz. Metope rolls and grinds himself snakelike on the edgy, perfectly interlocking elements. If you stretch the surface over the permitted tolerance, it bursts. Metope knows when it is time to moult. Almost redeeming comes a melody from the inside of the mantle. Be it spaghetti western dramatic in 'Second skin' or longing as in 'No Esc'. Because for Metope Second Skin means: two shells for a consistent core."

Artist:	MINIMAL MAN
Title:	Plastic Smile
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 037EP

"Sender records is opening its treasure chest and releasing this dark and rocking gem from Baby Ford and Eon. It's classic Minimal Man -- deep and precise with pumping bass lines and slightly disoriented vocal shreds. This is the update to the decade old and legendary 'treatment feel', except for the voice, which comes from Baby Ford himself. Sender-mastermind Benno Blome elevates the Knarz-factor on his remix with the classic dry Sender style. The vocal samples float through a thicket of discreet rocking bass and ethereal synthetic strings and give 'Plastic Smile' a new minimal direction. You are allowed to wallow in pleasure."

Artist:	BLOME & GRUMMICH
Title:	Programmier die Nacht
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 040EP

"Blome & Grummich, the central committee from the broadcasting center! First they give you a brain wash (Headcleaner send027), then they implant their new ideologies. Blome & Grummich's successor is an appeal: 'Program your Night". Be so free and take what makes you happy. Not indiscriminately, because everything is galore. Sometimes less is more. Essential is that it comes from you. Grab your favourite person, enter your preferred party. Don't let anybody fool you. Green or blue, red or white... This one, the other one, something from everything or all together. You have to say which colour the flow has. You know: 'whatever gets you through the night, it's allright...'. Blome & Grummich deliver the adequate soundtrack. The voice of conviction, beats like barricades, a precise and equally brute bass sequence. By the end it becomes, like a powerful motorcycle, sullenly ripped open, whilst the 'Knarzfactor' has been full throttle from the start. Sender takes you to the highway. Hair in the wind, eyes to slits through air and smile -- self conquered: the might of the night."

Title:	Wizkaz EP
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 041EP

"Frank Martiniq is constantly on the go, and releases now the Wizkaz EP on Sender. He likes it dirty and dark but never loses this certain nonchalance which distinguishes his style. With his waggish way he produces tracks which are extremely diverse and effervesce with imagination. Here a few erratic sounds, there a distorted vocoder voice and deeply pulsing knarz bass. But everything is still easy, effortless and funky. You can never Get enough of it! The 'Side Blow' puts us crackling on the right track. From there the 'Roadrunner' shuffles and veers, a killer break and knarz bass line lead us the way. 'Boita Musiq' forces us to constantly jiggle our ass. Off we go! In the last round we are invited to sway and are already in the middle of Frank Martiniq's Wizkaz-land."

Title:	Crunch Time
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 042CD

"When it comes to the crunch -- because it came to the crunch in music and everybody is talking about the crisis Misc.'s new motto is: now more than ever. The times are over when Misc. convinced with subdued sounds somewhere in between the club and listening. Crunch Time is the flight ahead, it's raving and rocking like it's the last day. 'Take it Personal' shows the direction. Knarz- and bouncing bass swing in a funky duet while we are under a constant bombardment of distorted sixteenth particles. The irruption of acid snippets add another kick until an incredible shivaree break definitely transforms the track into a hymn. With Crunch Time Misc., Hannes Wenner & Christopher Bleckmann, wanted to break out of a certain techno static. No sooner said than done -- they garnished the tracks with many 'Occurrences' (Wenner). There is a constant meshwork of noises, digital tire squeaking, Cassandras out of Murakamis wells and failed ring tones. Not to forget the overmodulated voice snippets. From Misc. animated, these for sender typical noises begin to tell tales. Above it, guiding themes start to peel off -- nooses for DJs and their dancers. Misc., as fine strategies of dance floors, know when to take out the beat and bring the rest of the ingredients to a boil only to return the bass drum to release an irresistible motional impulse. And we never know if we should clap with our arms stretched into the air or if we should stomp with all fours on the ground. What 'The Magic Number' (CD bonus track) on the resounding 'Rocket Skating' EP promised us on dance floor comes true to the Crunch Time. If I gotta die, I'm gonna listen to my body tonight."

Catalog #:	SENDER 043EP

"During a long, hot club night a euphoric dancer once called out into the sweating, dancing crowd: 'Detroit is a state of mind!' -- he earned spontaneous cries of joy and approval. If Sten would have been there he would have nodded cheerfully. For nobody has the yearning reverberation of old Transmat records in the heart like Sten. Whilst his last 12", 'Restless,' on Sender was wrapped deeply into atmospheric melancholy and dry bass lines, he raises the level of aggression with the two new tracks 'Stalker' and 'Sponk,' scattering pumping bass lines and increasing the strings to a melodic mountain. Fantastically deep and coarse rocking at once. You have never heard Sten as direct. Two definite dancefloor-killers."

Catalog #:	SENDER 045EP

"Sheldon Thompson is omnipresent without ever having a letdown. It doesn't matter if as sid le rock, Gringo Grinder or Pan/Tone, his tracks dominate the night. One man, many faces. Rock and roll and knarz bass lines with pop appeal are his lubricant holding everything together. The punch has to strike and it does on his Sender debut 12". Two tracks which are more than 'Smoke Signals' to the dancefloor indicating that the insanity is about to start. Brute with heart. Honestly earned dirt under the rocking fingernails. Always good for a melodic twist. So to say a wolf in sheepskin. You will see this signal on the dance floor horizon for a long time."

"Divide et Impera. Divide and rule. Carsten Jost, Sender techno strategist par excellence, is stage-managing his return to the local dance floors in Roman commander style. Perfectly poised between Sender typical, coolly minimalist techno beats and stretches replete with deeper melancholia, Divide et Impera builds up into a veritable techno epic that doesn't ease off until you have utterly succumbed to its force. His labelmate K.Lakizz's remix, with its dry and pushy powers of penetration is every bit as good as the original and varies the murky basic theme with hair-raisingly beautiful ribbons of sound to make a worthy second act. 'Alea jacta est.'"

"Misc show us where it's at. It's time for some springtime rock. Spheres of electronic sounds, meaty bass lines and drifting emo planes have you heading for the dance floor before you know where you're at. Melancholic euphoria and driving energy indulge in a full-on crash on the A side. The B side 'Shadow Hunting' whips up the crowd into new heights of ecstatic bliss. Sophisticated and dynamic, the piece pursues us without ever losing the lightness of its touch. A great dance track featuring Sender-typical ethereal sounds and groaning attacks that are bound to beguile. 'Restlichtverst�rker' rounds off the trio's electronic entertainment in wailing electro style. Misc rocks."

Catalog #:	SENDER 048EP

"Travel broadens the mind, they say. Sender buddy and Areal front man Basteroid got waylaid by a Russian taxi driver's mysterious understanding of vodka, and let the Kremlin inspire him to write a techno symphony, whose raw power shakes the foundations of sound as we know it. The majestic surges of techno reveal previously-explored depths of Basteroid that just blow our hearts and minds away. On the B-side 'Schicking data per post' bell chimes and the melancholy patter of 'Dawaj Dawaj' are melted down and worked round into Sender's trademark churlish whirls of Basteroid funk sounds. Smooth and cool on the palate like a sip of vodka from a water bottle."

"Pulsating bass electrifies the senses. Crystalline tones reverberate like waves of ecstasy through a dynamic musical cosmos. The lighter-than-air crystal avenue from Sender records is an exploration in digital sound realms. Musical virtuosos Blome & Grummich open the doors to new dimensions with this subtle power track. On the B-side, hungry bassline continues the trend. A groovy groaning style with interwoven vocals covertly transports you to urban planes in this gripping spin on shimmering, illuminated asphalt. As cool as its conception is riveting, it's a piece that travels to zones beyond time. Benno Blome and Peter Grummich are fully loaded and at it again. After all the mindjumbling of 'Headcleaner' and 'Programmier die Nacht,' Crystal Avenue emerges on the scene as another highlight in Sender records releases."

Catalog #:	SENDER 051EP

"Following S.S. this is Pan/Tone's second maxi on the Berlin label with the radio tower logo, transmitting north, east, south and west, once again. A strong and present atmosphere imbued with hypnotic frequencies floods the ether. While 'T.D.D.' synthesizes time and space with a steely dynamic, 'W.G.' is minimally excessive. 'U.T.I.' combines siren-like light effects with incisive bass sections to create a huge stimulus whose explosive impact is inescapable. The Cologne-based Canadian Sheldon Thompson also reflects the spirit of S.S. on his U.T.I. EP."

Title:	Like Morning In Your Eyes
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 052CD

"Like a shockwave, Christopher Bleckmann and Hannes Werner a.k.a. Misc, blasted an unmistakable ravesound into impact-hungry techno dancefloors with their last album Crunch Time. Now, the two musicians are about to pick up where they left off: hold on tight for Like Morning In Your Eyes. Having rocked techno's Richter scale for all it was worth with their previous releases, Hannes and Christopher have let the club-swinging thomp that took the rave scene by storm lightly wash over 'like morning in your eyes' rather than drenching it with the force of a tidal wave. Don't get us wrong: Misc wouldn't be Misc if it didn't flaunt its prowess for working those fuzzy basslines and synthesized sequences for all they're worth, and then switching gears by lashing out with thick and chunky bass lines. Just as Crunch Time can be seen as a grand attempt at maximizing techno's euphoric potential -- bumping and grinding its way straight into the central nervous system, and then intoxicating brain synapses when it gets there -- a sweet change takes over Like Morning In Your Eyes once it reaches its zenith -- while knowing exactly how to shake those sluggish wallflowers into action, the relentless buzz, sizzling and groans are interspersed with gentler smooth-gliding nuances.The battleship of rave has set its course for calmer, deeper, though not a bit less enticing waters."

Blome plays with high and low frequencies in a way that is direct and decisive -- permeating the night and transmitting until morning. Sound and light hypnotizes and glides gleaming through the city. 'Transmitter/Blau' projects a virtual and flowing dynamic onto a grey November and constructs a tightly woven and irreversible moment in time. 'Rouge Fatal', the second track, loosens this moment: it approaches sensually, stimulates and breathes nervously. The track gains a further pleasant sensuality through the voice from K.Lakizz, which are finely honed by effects."

Title:	Radarius
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	SENDER 055EP

"Weltzwei is back with a vengeance! Nearly three years after the release of the mongo Expander EP, Sender records whiz-kids Benno Blome and Matthias Klein (Konfekt/Konkord) emerge from the depths of the recording studio at last. This time, they've milked their equipment for all it was worth to bring you the full force of Sender's crystalline energy. The title track, 'Radarius,' transforms sound into a 100% visceral experience. Those saw-tooth bass lines work their way under your skin and enslave you in euphoria. At the same time, metallic bleeps and singing interference zap your knees and send you diving into an ocean of rave."

Artist:	2 DOLLAR EGG/METOPE
Title:	Split 3
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 056EP

"It was time for another mega split EP from the depths of the Sender studios. After appearing on the label's latest compilation, Receiving Data ... Ah, It's Coming Frankfurt's die-hard techno fiends, 2 Dollar Egg, are now the most recent addition to the Sender records family. And 'Turnout' whips along with cool precision and lush bass, all padded with dusky, 3D effects that almost take on a metallic shimmer thanks to the deftly differentiated sound design. On the B-side is Tekel, another newcomer to Sender. The French duo, which normally appears on the Parisian label 'Initial Cuts,' takes the menacing pulse of Metope's 'Second Skin' and gives it a good thrashing between ripped-up synthesizers and tight-as-you-like bassline sounds."

Title:	Like Morning In Your Eyes Rmx
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)

Catalog #:	SENDER 057EP

"It was irresistible, of course. The fantastic original material the two Misc.'s delivered in their last album Like Morning In Your Eyes simply demanded to be given that extra special remix treatment when it came to remixing the sound files of individual tracks. And with Pan-Pot and Hemmann & Kaden we found two confidently stylish masters of the new school of minimalism. In the remix of 'Frequenztr�ger' the Berlin-based Pan-Pot meander through their signature bleep and dub low-rider style of dirty sample scraps, kooky echoes and a sub bass foundation and head straight for the minimalist pressure cooker. Hemmann & Kaden turn the 'Tanz der Polymere' into a deep, polyrhythmic invocation of the hypnotic powers of a compact minimalist overdrive."

Artist:	A GUY CALLED GERALD/BENNO BLOME
Title:	Time To Jak
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 058EP

"One concept: two sides. In the late summer A Guy Called Gerald and Benno Blome meet by the spree. A mutual project is born: to reanimate the classic Chicago track 'Time To Jack.' Around nine months later the time has come. Benno Blome's version suffuses 'Time To Jak' with an electrifying build up. The track is tightly knit and with an urban feel to it. Digitalised moments, melodic elegance, dynamic, tangible, hypnotic -- unmistakably Benno Blome's signature Sender sound. A Guy Called Gerald, himself a producer since the 1980s, develops a dark sound illusion that fills every last corner of space. The revamped vocal brings the track up to date and its rhythmical integrity casts a spell over the world's clubs and the cities of the night."

Title:	Split_4

Format:	12"

Catalog #:	SENDER 060EP

"Flow is everything, that's no news to us. To keep the dancefloor drifting and dancing besides all difficulties with gravity, you should be able to rely on the perfectly timed groove. No matter if it is a ditsy abyss-sound or plain and straight. On the new Split, we gathered two new studies of our flow and groove research. And with the duo Phage and Daniel Dreier and the Frankfurt-based Franklin De Costa we do not only welcome three new artists at Sender, but also three versed experts for elegant minimal, sometimes loopy sound sculptures with ass and depth. You will get stuck on the dancefloor and after some hours be spit out a little dizzy but yet happy into rest reality, while the groove of the kickdrum, the bassline and the percussion sounds still leave something inside you. Tracks like an endless party. Draw the curtain!"

Artist:	AND AGAIN
Title:	To the Moles and the Masses
Label:	SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SENDER 061EP

"Scavenger hunt Philly style. Foundsound/unfoundsound-labelhead and schnitzelmaster-in-chief Sean O'Neal asks around. By the way he also introduces his new alter ego to the world. Sender exclusive, to all intents and purposes. So draw the curtain for... And Again. Who could resist? We cannot. Because the funk is in the details, and Someone Else always had the right touch for this. And the masses he dedicates this EP to are longing for fireworks, heebie-jeebies and bass storms. Passing out, winking though, and having the groove at the right spot, that is what someone...err, And Again is about. And our man from Philadelphia gives us a rapid fire of frisky minimal-techno, perfectly tied up from sampled and looped sound fragments with the touch of snappy bass you need. Two tracks of infused, boiling dancefloor ecstasy."
