TREP 016EP
|
For its 16th installment, True Romance welcome the über-talented Janis into its ranks. The busy Frankfurt based producer concocted an irresistible two-tracker oddball. On the A-side, "Machst Du Jetzt Musik?" is a gorgeous hypnotic groover. Flirting with jazz, the uplifting piano driven house track gets propelled through the clouds with its swirling bleeps and effects. On the flip, Janis plunges in darker territories with "Play, Stop, Pause". Glitchy synths and filtered pianos are wrapped into a trippy atmosphere reminiscent of the deep water disco of your wildest dreams.

HIOK 004EP
|
Janis makes music for high-budget commercials and German art films, and also spends his time constructing highly-infectious house grooves. On the Parental Advisory House EP Janis gets to demonstrate his wide range of talents. Driven by a heavy bass line and filled with a funky chord sequence, the lead track will easily be implanted in your brain. "Fitzefu Pumpkin" breaks the groove in a massive two-step pumper. "Ensoniq Youth" features a strong rhythm section, dreamy synth pads and funny vocal chops. The EP closes with a remix by Kornél Kovacs, who takes the elements of the funky original and turns it into a driving dub.

MIRAU 018EP
|
Frankfurt-based Janis Guckes was socialized in the Robert Johnson Club, where he found his way to club music in the late '90s. He now produces excellent house in his own kitchen and runs the label House Is OK, where he released his first records. For Mirau, substantial Detroit numbers shuffle into line on a timeless 12". "Forgiveness" starts out with a warm sample that pumps blood straight to your dancing feet. "Greetings from the Netherworld" features a bouncing bass, echoing vocals and haunting strings. "Illusion of Choice" stamps and twists from the speakers while "Different from the Rest" shuffles in with a swinging bass line.
