TREN 020EP
|
"Born in Australia, but moving to Japan in 2000, Luke Le Mans is the main organizer of the night 'Quop' in Osaka which focuses on bringing big international DJs to create a scene in the roughest Japanese city. After releasing his debut EP on Trapez, Luke is back with this 2 tracker on Trenton. Much more mature, his talent as a producer are undeniable and we hope that this will be the beginning of a long series of old school but yet modern minimal material for Trenton. 'Dark Helmet' has dry beats and a funky bass line with a crazy chord's pattern that has some sort of a B horror movie vibe... like a minimal techno version of a Dario Argento's soundtrack, 'Dark Helmet' will bring you out-there! The second track called 'Lisa' is a bit more old school but still rules and the endless loopy bass ramp that just keeps on building up will make your legs feel a bit less heavy and your mouth a bit thirstier. SLG is back on Trenton, but for a remix this time. After is very first EP on our label we are proud to have him back. His version of 'Dark Helmet' is just outstanding... pure SLG style, it has it all: Detroit, minimal, forward, groovy... if you are still sitting in a club's corner after hearing that on the PA.... means that you have serious issues with being able to feel the funk!!!"

TRAPEZ 065EP
|
Australian artist Luke Le Mans, resident in Kyoto for some time, is an important figure in the Japanese techno scene. He has been producing for a few years and is now releasing his first record on Trapez. Jerry, Spring Her! is a nice blend of classic Detroit techno with a modern version of acid, that can really shake the foundation of clubs. The A-side is a rhythm-machine, with a cool and rocking stop and go attitude/motion, quite percussive in a techno way and a nice techno tool. The B-side is a big acid track -- a strong mover that has an element to it that is missing in a lot of sets nowadays. Luke reduces the tweak of the 303 to a nice static feeling, rather than twisting the knobs in the old school way. He has a lot of experience as a DJ and gives his tracks a very nice flow, while being funky and warmhearted at the same time.
