MARCEL DETTMAN - Seduction - Ostgut Ton

There are only few producers that represent the essence of techno and the hardness and gloom of Berghain as perfectly as Marcel Dettmann, the founding member of the Ostgut Ton family. After the release of the limited 12" "Dawning/Dawning (Revisited)" with Ben Klock, his long awaited second LP "Dettmann II" emerged on Ostgut Ton last year. For this remix EP of the album track "Seduction", featuring the English, Berlin-based singer Emika, Dettmann lets Deuce, Anthony Parasole and Ryan Elliot take control of the temptation. While the digital release hosts the short version, the long version of "Seduction" on the vinyl release brings the haunting and eerie character of this semi-ambient track to full effect, with the voice of Emika circling like a floating ghost. After the Deuce collaboration of Marcel Dettmann and Shed got a brief update on the "Dettmann II" album track "Aim", the duo now modulate the techno potential of "Seduction". The vocals of Emika are not only transformed into morbid soundscapes, the resonance of the bass power turns their version into a brutal monster between agonizing desire and panic phobia. Anthony Parasole is not only the latest member on the Ostgut booking roster, the man from New York also showed his verve for spooky sounds already with an EP on Marcel Dettmann Records, knowing how to impress with a reduced relaxation. His remix spirals into futuristic territory and targets the dancefloor with its dominant kick. Both the subliminal funk and the driving character, with its pleading vocal loops, evoke a mantra of black art. Ryan Elliot rounds the EP off with his interpretation. Starting with a throbbing kick drum, he flanks the subtle rumble in the background with dry hi-hats before the synth chords perform a courtship dance that spits out a bizarre but striking groove. In combination with the claps and the reverb on Emika's voice a fantastic theme crafted by a versatile arrangement emerges. Simoultaneously to the 12" the short movie "Seduction" will be released, a Parker Ellerman film with Cleo von Adelsheim, Sven Gerhardt and Stefano Cassetti, the artwork of the EP is a still from the movie.

PHIL KIERAN - Going There / Getting Away - Hotflush Recordings

Accomplished producer, Phil Kieran, makes his Hotflush debut with a two-track ode to hedonistic flight. "Yes I’m going there" goes the lead track’s refrain. Where 'there' is, who knows? But you can enjoy a soundtrack of sun-kissed piano chords and heraldic horns on the way. As Kieran 'gets away' on the A2, the mood takes a turn for the dark. Lost in the early hours, pockets full of miniature plastic bags and no money…thank fuck for the throb of that kick in these lonely but exciting times.

Richy Ahmed and Ryan Elliott, offer their interpretations of Kieran’s bacchanalia on the B-side with the former creating a barnstorm of minor stabs and attitude, and the latter tearing it up, down, left and right with his broken beats and wailing vox. Gone there. Got Away.

Tracklist:
A1. Going There
A2. Getting Away
B1. Going There (Richy Ahmed Remix)
B2. Getting Away (Ryan Elliott Remix)

TRUS'ME - Treat Me Right

Febbraio 2013 vedrà l'uscita di "Treat Me Right", nuovo album di Trus'me su Prime Numbers.
Durante l'anno che sta per concludersi, Trus'me ha già visto remixare le sue opere da gente del calibro di Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Terrence Dixon, Dvs1, Ryan Elliott e Vakula, tutti rilasciati da Prime Numbers.
In questo lavoro Trus'me ci spiega come il suo modo di produrre sia cambiato da un approccio completamente analogico ad un approccio "ANOLIGITAL", un mix tra digitale e analogico.
Sì perchè proprio nell'ultimo anno sono molte le miglia percorse, tanti i voli presi (dal Giappone al Sud America), molte le camere d'hotel vissute con laptop acceso per catturare le emozioni e le ispirazioni del momento.
Sessioni frammentate rielaborate in studio danno corpo a questo album e lo lanciano di prepotenza da una claustrofobica camera di hotel al cielo azzuro di un viaggio aereo intercontinentale.

Tracklist:
1  - Hindsight
2  - T'es Une Pute
3  - I Want You
4  - Its slow
5  - Moonlight Kiss
6  - Defunkt
7  - Somebody
8  - Long Distance
