RB 062EP
|
Recent years saw Henrik Schwarz gravitating towards the intersections between electronic music and jazz, classical compositions or African sounds than serving the weekly bread and butter at Clubland. Now, Not Also You is a return to exactly that honorable craft and service. Built around an imagined and imaginary curtain lecture from a saint to a sinner and housed in one of Henrik's "most techno" looking robes as of yet, it's a no-brainer, a reaper of a track - without frills but with a Fata Morgana-like rave signal. Oh, there is a dub for snobs ("Not You Also"), too.

OSTGUT 079EP
|
May 2013 saw the premiere of the choreography "Masse": a coproduction between Berghain and the Staatsballett Berlin. At the venue "Halle am Berghain" several producers worked in collaboration with different choreographers exploring the various meanings of the subject "Masse" (trans. "mass"). Now, a year after the critically-acclaimed stage production, Henrik Schwarz delivers two of their tracks remixed for the club. On "Lockstep," the Berlin house maestro transforms his material from the "Masse" soundtrack into a missile for the floor and uses fine tuning of the filters to full effect. The pop hit "Unknown Touch" receives a healthy shot of vivacity for the floor mix.

WG 010EP
|
Henrik Schwarz's first house track in ages, "Take Words in Return" comes with a "Return Version," and also contains a vocal remix from Carl Craig. Schwarz's original is a vocal-based house-anthem, which emerges to gasp for air with a folk-inspired hook line. After a percussive break, the record's to-the-floor efficiency is unleashed. Carl Craig's remix -- from dreamy to sawing synth-lines, utilizes the original's massive potential -- to 12 minutes.
