COR 159EP
|
Pig&Dan return to their roots, Cocoon Recordings with Reset Your Bassline. Nine years on, Dan Duncan and Igor Tchkotoua have lost none of their sixth sense for moving the crowd as this uncluttered yet devilishly effective dancefloor double-header proves. "Reset Your Bassline" couldn't be more appropriately named, revealing itself with a powerful, pumping bass and tightly programmed vocal samples. An indispensable addition to this autumn's set list, "Lost Another Angel" delivers with a pure dose of after-hour bliss. It's a playful Balearic technodub with a canny sense for an unforgettable melody at sunrise, conjuring up broad smiles on glowing faces.

BOXER 079EP

Pig&Dan bring the summer to the dancefloor with a heavy drumbeat. As if after an endless winter, you look out your misty windows, and suddenly, the door bell rings -- you look through the spyhole, and what you see is bright summer light. And this is exactly what happens when you listen to this release -- it goes straight into your heart -- cozy, deep, touching and intense. Includes a vocal mix, a dub version, and a remix by Werner Niedermeier.

DTP 033EP
|
Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan aka Pig&Dan are amongst the most influential protagonists of Balearic techno music. With their debut for Datapunk, both prove their good nose for powerful yet harmonic techno. "Dream Of Bells" is situated in the golden center between modern Chicago sound, percussive acid and psychoactively blurred digital cembalo. The powerful subwoofer orgy of "Subculture" also vibrates with restless modulations and metallic percussions through an acid bath, without 303 clichés. Something for your mind.

PICK 022EP
|
The Spanish-based production kings and label-owners Pig & Dan return to Pickadoll with some truly Balearic & beautiful techno tunes. The track "88" is a hypnotic journey based upon slightly modulating old-school chords. The B-side starts with a dark teKKno monster called "Blobz": arpeggios, stripped-down drumming, reverbs make up an unbelievably raw ecstasy music which then develops into a neo-trance extravaganza with some highly impressive breakdowns! "Robots" consists of video game sounds, sexy beats and some almost psychedelic guitar-like licks... after-hours madness guaranteed!

WK 009EP
|
"'Uh Hugh': this side of the record is a story that tells itself. Dirt mixed with crunchy melody and excitement, makes this mix of bouncing bubbly blobs an irresistible must-have. Low end sub-loving bass lines and analog riffs all together with a voice that tells it like it is, 'Uh Hugh.' This side also holds the fort as far as the old-school is concerned. Deep, lush and full-on non-stop madness. Jump in and roll in it. 'Viography': this vibrant electro pumper is another one of Pig & Dan's more positive good time tracks that has made the duo's name more present in the boxes of the less techno oriented DJs. Its feel and vibe still hold the electronic imprint to be expected of their previous works, but with a melodic edge that is unique and has a smile appeal that reaches peaks of musical bliss. This production has its little twists that give it an acid vibe and a feel which was present in the old-school."
