CURLE 054EP
|
Franklin de Costa, a Curle label regular, presents more organic deep house tracks that are out of the ordinary, highlighted by the fantastic bassline of "Tenctacles." "Needles" is a little harder and has something of a UK vibe; "Silkworm" is a work of even, solid techno.

MUSIQ 150EP
|
This is the debut release from Berlin-based producer Franklin De Costa on Mule Musiq, who has previous releases on labels such as Curle and Trapez. The title track is atmospheric, jazzy deep house. If you like the sound of Larry Heard, you will definitely be into this song. The B-side is Berlin-style dark house tracks -- perhaps for fans of Omar S.

CURLE 031EP
|
Franklin De Costa's Fragile EP once again offers a great taste of Franklin's qualities as a producer. Whereas the title track is definitely the track with the biggest peak-time dancefloor potential, the three other tracks show Franklin's firm talent and diversity in crafting organic deep house tracks that step away from the ordinary. Truly a special EP.

EINMAL 047EP

"We are pround to present Mr.Franklin De Costa`s second EP on Einmaleins. He takes us into a spheric drivin journey with his two tracks. The title track is a hypnotizing minimal groove monster. On the flipside we have tight drums, a hypnotic melody and sick sounds which don't let you go off the hook. Two diverse dancefloor weapons! Get your copies!"

CURLE 014EP
|
"Franklin De Costa is someone we've been following since his first releases on Trapez LTD. We're very proud that he offered us these tracks to release on Curle. 'Kronn' is an extremely deep and dark techno work-out that gets right under your skin thanks to the hypnotic housey vocal snippet. Goosebumps on the dancefloor! 'Rollergirl' sounds a tad happier, with its dubby flow, it is bound to bring a smile to everyone's face. Two truly great tracks to mark our second birthday!"

NEUM 036EP
|
"Not only is Franklin sharing his flat with Yapacc these days, he's also remixing the likes of Peter Grummich, Colorswitch, Ricardo Villalobos and Pheek. The Berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on Crack & Speed, Sender, Trapez, Immigrant and on his own imprint The Green Empire (which is he co-runing also with his long-time friend Yapacc). 'This is probably the best Cadenza release which hasn't been released on Cadenza,' said someone here in the office -- and who are we to deny this? These two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments."

DFRG 019EP
|
"Franklin de Costa's debut on Defrag, two groove monsters, a very personal and rare ability for modern sound sculpturing and knob twisting. Focusing on wild fresh funkyness and post-Detroitish attitude, Franklin shows, through the complex architecture of these tracks, his technique in fusing different styles in a modern way. The A-side track 'Butterfly' grows slowly and deeply, the fat bassline reef will blow your mind! On the flip side, 'First Wall' is a complex mixture of self-generated sounds, voices, background noises and evolving synths."

EINMAL 009EP
|
"Einmaleins 09 comes with a small delay, but the wait is worth it. We're glad to bring you Franklin De Costa. Franklin delivers a two track killer. The A-side 'To Remain' comes with a funky synth-driven track where randomness rules! Metal sounds that go mental at the peak of the track and a groove that'll keep you moving! On the flip 'Kill Your Cat' takes you on a deep, dark and twisted journey. Dubby sounds and mental noises pop up in an unexpected timing to complete this secret tool!"

"Franklin de Costa third release Galina on Trapez ltd is another big step for him in to the DJ world of clever written beats and self generated sounds. Franklin is one of the rising big talents. Look out for his album that will be released end of the year on Trapez. Franklin's new 12" on Trapez ltd reveals his ability to take in the feeling of now and fusing it with his unique sensibility for modern sound sculpturing. The a side track 'Postwendend' incorporates a strong and direct DJ approach, jerking the frequencies up and down in a frantic manner. John Tejada will love this track. It places him close to other Trapez stars such as Oliver Hacke and Jeff Samuel, who both are hooked on Franklin's music. The flip-side track 'Galina' is more laid back and presents an insight in the sound shaping of musical landscapes."

"In his new EP de Costa fuses diverse techniques and styles which develop into a groove monster. Being one of the Frankfurt techno pioneers makes Franklin's music possible: his fascinating style is a combination of ideas taken from Herbert to Brinkmann... From Monolake, to Krikor and combining them all with his long history of Frankfurt techno. His music then results in a hypnotic ride of stabs and sounds and rhythms."

"Franklin de Costa is a techno icon in Frankfurt. He started in 1995 with Patrick Vauillaume of legendary 303 Nation and with studio technician Stelios Sevdalis the label Fusion records... 'The Call' comes with two very different tracks.. 'The Call' represents Techno monumentality, modulation, studio work and experience, experiment with sound, a certain liking for Porter Ricks and club feel , whereas 'Robert Bass' is cool, transparent as we know it from techno pioneers : LFO, Wolfgang Voigt or Kraftwerk. Let the bass kick."
