BASMATI 009EP
|
Bamati presents a masterpiece by Gabriel Ananda reworked by two members of Treibstoff, Marcel Janovsky and Till Krüger. Janovsky delivers a minimal techno version with just enough of the original that creates a suspenseful groove. Till Krüger's remix is unmistakably "Krüger," instilling his warm techno style with segments of Ananda's brilliant melodies.

BASMATI 008EP
|
Short Story is the fruition of musical ideas by label owner/chief producer Gabriel Ananda and instrumentalist/vocalist Tiger Rose. The two of them have come together to resurrect a project from 2001 and have put together a colorful mix of strings, vocals, and melodies. "Short Stories" is a 14-minute trip covering the scope of both producers' talents. The B-side contains two versions of "Struck by Light." A techno version is followed by the deeper, original version, recorded for the first time in 2001.

BASMATI 005EP

Basmati presents part 2 of Gabriel Ananda's Live Series. Like his smash single "Doppelwhipper," the tracks on this 12" were performed live on stage. "Hey Blop" is a perfect and very playable summer track while "Give Me Five" shows how percussions should be looped into great techno.

|
Parallel to the release of his album Selected Techno Works (BASMATI 001CD), Gabriel Ananda presents his Live Series. Published here are the tracks which have been established on the floors during his recent live sets. Occasional imprecision is a stylistic device, the post-production was skipped, unpolished rough edges remain. Live Series Part I contains the tracks "Alpha" and "Smash."

BASMATI 001CD
|
Refreshingly different from the common techno mainstream, Gabriel Ananda breaks hearing habits by using well-dosed, deep, structured sounds. Connoisseurs of the uncommon enjoy his straight and fiddly cool beats. Definitions become useless if techno, house and dub merge together as in Gabriel Ananda's productions. Since his first release in 1997 on the German label Hörspielmusik, by now over 20 singles on imprints like Trapez, Utils, Treibstoff, Platzhirsch and Karmarouge Records followed. Selected Techno Works is a collection of all of his floor-shakers that rocked the worldwide dancefloors during the last years and a "Chill Out" CD with previously-unreleased material for a laid-back time afterwards. "Every 2 or 3 years 50% of the people in the clubs change. I've been doing techno music since 1995 and I've seen a lot of people coming and going. So I thought, that if you're a tech-newbie, this CD might be for you to get to know my music. And for the people who are already inside or are about to leave, it's an opportunity to get a part of my work in one piece. For me personally, I made this CD because I wanted to have something in my suitcase to give back to the people who support me so much. The selection of the tracks are partly the ones I think most people like best and the other ones are my personal favorites. The Chill Out CD has been finished since 2005. It was made just for my friends and myself to calm down and find peace one in a while, but I thought it was a waste of music not to release it. I hope you like it." --Gabriel Ananda

TREIB 095EP
|
After his legendary single Coconut Blues, Gabriel Ananda is back on Treibstoff. "Love Attack" has Ananda-typical earthy grooves. Strings lead to an organic bass line and take you on an emotional trip. "Open Up" is a very tricky piece of techno that develops an incredible suction. For the remix of "Open Up," Treibstoff hired Till Krüger who leaves the original sounds with a mood that recalls the dub-work of the legendary Gas project by Wolfgang Voigt.

KARMA 027EP
|
"Gabriel Ananda presents us with 'Stream Of Consciousness' and 'Shake Ready,' two euphoric grooving tracks that are characterized by compact and at the same moment delicious balanced rhythms which spread themselves onto your body straightforwardly and which work on the dancefloor with an astounding ease. Two tracks that keep you away from holding your feet still, a record that simply makes fun! The A-side track 'Stream Of Consciousness' comes along in a sunny spellbound robe. Wishful-sounding melodies boxed in disarming clarity and elegance round a grooving bassline and oppressive beat. It's a track that is composed of various long rhythmic elements which easily manage to engage with each other and reveal its well-balanced character. For Gabriel Ananda, 'Stream Of Consciousness' means thinking in music and refers to the semi-constant internal monologue that he has with himself at a conscious or or semi-conscious level. It's a statement about his present state of mind."

KARMA 022EP
|
"A1: Stuttgart-based producer Flekk presents his personal 'Glücksmelodie,' a funny and ridiculous tune that has similarities to older Mosquito releases. A weird techno track with electroclash approaches and numerous harmony changes. A2: Stefan Tretau's remix doesn't deny its closeness to the original even if it is less ravishing. This remix is characterized by psychedelic and spheric elements and a Detroitish bassline. A3: The third track comes from Netherland producer Hardmoon. This remix is a dreamful ambient master piece that finally diffluences more and more. We never dreamed that the 'Glücksmelodie' could sound so mellow and dreamy. B1: 'Sommerkräusel of Fortune' is Da-Roh's personal 'Glücksmelodie' interpretation, a summerly robed Detroit alike techno tune well touched by charming melancholy. The track is characterized by a minimal sound architecture, builds itself up, then drops into a break and finally builds itself up again. B2: Ümit Han's 'GlückIm Unglück' remix is a modern minimal techno tune that focus on functionality with a pinch of aggressiveness. A track that is delightfully frisky and outstanding, fragmented, and that coquettes from time to time with some Oriental samples."

"Like no one else Gabriel Ananda has proved during the past year that sturdy and rocking techno does not need to consist of sample structures lacking any melodic qualities. Because this, what is coming out of the boxes fresh and untouched, is the reversion to Detroitish values -- the pairing of great emotional gestures and the uninevitable might of the 4 to the floor. Like cast in liquid chrome, jacked by melodic pads, dirty metropolitan bass lines are roaring through the space hall and wrap the desolately pumping beats in a silverish cloud of muggy memories. Huge bass monsters are galloping on frenetical bouncing grooves through the sweating arch of Gabriel Anandas' sound aesthetics, continuously swarmed round by an immense number of circling percussion instruments. Now and then foggy synthie clouds are waving above a rusty industrial sky and conjure spontaneously a few fluffy and summery thoughts until they're gobbled by the blurry grimace of the horizon. Deliciously balanced with dreamy dub techno tunes like 'Radiodust,' where sound snippets are trickling through the speaker-membranes like sand out of a desert grave. The seesawing techhouse-stomper-like 'Hoolahoop' seems to be abounded by grinning, skipping goblins. Tai nasha no karosha merges to an extremely melodic and acrobatic sound sculpture that is native in the huge, dirty and colorful metropoles as well as in your home."
