SENSO 030LP
|
Triple LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Now with over 20 years of releases behind him, Oliver Huntemann finds himself on the cusp of yet a new era in his career. Propaganda is the fifth proper artist album from the Hamburg-based DJ/producer, and like each of its predecessors, it shows a different side to one of the most consistently rewarding names in techno. Released on his own Senso Sounds label, the album exudes the level of assurance that perhaps only comes with being so active in curating and developing a label that has stood out from the masses since its inception in 2014. With four previous artist albums, about ten mix albums and countless EPs and remixes under his belt, Oliver Huntemann is has been one of the leading figures in the techno and tech-house circuit since the late '90s and admired for his unique style and his fascinating DJ sets. Huntemann's fifth full-length album Propaganda is like its predecessors, another step forward in the career of the producer. Here he takes full advantage of the album format. Tracks like "Taktik", "Poltergeist", "Rotlicht", or "Momentum" set the mood with crisp motorik drum programming and deep pulsating basslines, while tracks like "Malaria" create more of a freaked-out and edgy vibe. But there is also room for atmospheric and ambient, downbeat interludes like "Anonym". As a whole, Propaganda is an impressive, versatile, and multi-layered body of work laid out in a state of the art production. Includes download code with four bonus tracks.

SENSO 029EP
|
Two key tracks from bossman Oliver Huntemann's forthcoming Propaganda album. "Rotlicht" is a precision-honed instrument of techno weaponry -- hard as nails and featuring epic and mind-bending breakdowns. Egyptian DJ and producer Raxon reworks the track into a deep and solid groover with plenty of attitude. "Poltergeist" is a journey into Huntemann's feel for sound design and space in a club context -- seemingly simple before hitting home with shifting, evolving grooves and haunting synth blasts. Russian Maksim Dark adds his own interpretation of "Poltergeist", edging up the darkness a little more and producing a growling, tough techno workout.

SENSO 013EP
|
180-gram 12". Oliver Huntemann always delivers, especially on his own Senso imprint. On "Pech," elements unfold and flower organically -- including a sustained and deliciously pitch-bent bass tone -- as the tune reaches its climax of dancing synths. The echo and distant music-box pings of "Schwefel" are finally subsumed by gritty synth repetitions before the pitch-bent bass of "Schwarzlicht," precision-engineered for a massive system, twists like a contortionist while piercing stabs pulse and ping. On "Filmriss," a pitched-up pulse -- like a string slowly tightening to its breaking point -- makes way for a truly monstrous and memorable sub bass.

SENSO 001EP
|
Senso, the brand-new imprint from Hamburg's Oliver Huntemann, delivers its debut release from the boss himself -- two tracks of exceptionally focused, highly-charged and deeply sophisticated techno from the heart. "Donner" is an epic 9-plus minute workout of muscular beats, off kilter percussion and tense, minimal melodies -- a master class in the art of building tension and its eventual release. Similarly, "Blitz" weaves a narrative out of a terse, tightly-wound groove and elements that gradually build and build, stoking the fire. Metallic, buzzing synths fire and recede, ultimately exposing the jagged machine-funk core of another exceptional Huntemann transmission.

It is now five proud years since Oliver Huntemann, together with his long-term business partner Jan Langer, founded Ideal Audio. To celebrate the occasion, the label is heading out on a worldwide tour, and is releasing a double CD compilation of brand-new exclusive material alongside the most memorable classics from the label's roster. Since 2008, the label has grown into one of the foremost techno outlets in the world, with a wide and deep fan base stretching all across the globe. Ideal Audio has also spawned countless label parties, fruitful collaborations, and many EP, LP, and mix compilation releases from plenty of exciting talents. "Here we are, five years richer in experience, and still as loud as ever," says Oliver on the anniversary. "Some new and promising acts in the form of Dubspeeka from Bristol, Remain & Electric Rescue from Paris, and Soel & Jonni Darkko from Rome have recently joined the ranks, breathing new life into Ideal. For me personally, it is still a great pleasure to work on and with electronic music and the crazy party circus every day. I look forward to the next five years!" And so to the 5ünf compilation: across two discs and 25 tracks it showcases the Ideal Audio style, which in the past has been described as "dark, hypnotic and powerful." The compilation spans the last five years -- with new and exclusive cuts on disc one, and classics on disc one -- and proves that Oliver and Jan have done a great job evolving the label while always staying true to their roots in exciting techno. A fine retrospective at the same time as being focused on the next five years, the 5ünf compilation proves Ideal Audio to be one of the most assured labels of our time. Other artists include: Joran van Pol, Extrawelt, Hatzler, André Winter, Andreas Henneberg, The Glitz, Sebrok & Tassilo, Dubfire, Marc Houle, Pan-Pot, Mihalis Safras, Sebastian Radlmeier, and Carlo Lio.

IDEAL 021CD

The Play! series is one that has charted the career of an electronic music pioneer, while providing a snapshot of the varying nuances of performing at some of the world's most revered venues and locations. Oliver Huntemann has now spread his wings further afield and brings a sunshine-influenced mix from Down Under for the fourth edition. Spread over 2CDs, Play! 04 is an accurate representation of the music Oliver is currently playing at his DJ gigs, and the selection reminds us why he has remained relevant for nearly two decades. Recorded live, the balanced mix relays the natural energy of the dancefloor, while also indicating that the listening experience is in the hands of an artist who has a clear vision. Drawing on a range of labels, from the most established techno disseminators in Minus/Plus 8 and Ovum, right through to those representative of newer sounds in Dirtybird and Rekids, the mix demonstrates and merges the nuances of the contemporary electronic scene. Naturally, there are a handful of productions from his own Ideal Audio imprint, and there are also tracks from Oliver's production partner André Winter, and upcoming French producers Remain & Electric Rescue. Noteworthy highlights include the Sebastian Radlmeier track on CD1, the massive Mathew Jonson remix of VCMG and the more left-field sounds of Claude von Stroke & Eats Everything. Following a natural break in the set, CD2 quickly picks up where CD1 left off. The punishing top-line of his own "Delirium" fits brilliantly with the melody of Matador's newest offering. Patrice Bäumel's "Chase" provides some killer drum breaks, before Radio Slave delivers a soulful, bouncy beat. The mix finishes with the euphoric offers of Huntemann's "The End" -- a fantastic way to end this journey. Other artists include: Simian Mobile Disco, Nick Harris, Namito & Argenis Britto, Nico Lahs, Maetrik, Tony Rohr, Hobo, Alexi Delano, Brian Sanhaji, Steve Parker, Uto Karem and Quince.

"Shanghai Spinner" is the second single from Oliver Huntemann's H-3 to receive special attention and to get dressed in sexy vinyl. This massive track will make you ecstatic and will spin you round and round. And if this is not enough, the B-side of the 12" is reserved for the legendary Joey Beltram, who gives us his side of the story. In case you haven't bought H-3 yet, you better hop to it, before it's too late.
