MOBILEE 075EP
|
And.Id is back with a brand-new solo release, full of energy and that special And.Id flavor with a psychedelic twist! Psychedelic Love is a strong three-track EP, served with his revered signature trumpet sounds and melodies, layered over tightly-programmed, swinging beats -- bringing his completely unique live act out from the clubs and onto wax. You may also notice a slight change in his sound on this release, with an enjoyable harder and more raw feel creeping in.

MOBILEE 065EP
|
And.Id has gone solo for "I Will Be There," and he's taking us back to the dancefloor. "I Will Be There" lands heavily with a punching kick drum and there is little release before the bass and groove come in. "Five" brings back And.Id's signature jazzy sounds with some melodic piano chords. "Erotica" brings all of the elements together with a strong melodic bass line and punch kick. This package will definitely get you moving.

MOBILEE 009CD
|
Mobilee presents the fourth installment of its compilation and DJ-mix series, Back To Back. This series has evolved significantly since its inception, with the second disc of each compilation presenting a unique take on Mobilee's music. Volume 4, compiled and performed by And.id and B.A.N.D., continues this evolution with a two-disc extravaganza that is unlike anything you've ever heard before. While disc 1 compiles highlights from Mobilee's 2009 discography, disc 2 consists of jazz interpretations of classic Mobilee tracks, all of which have been painstakingly recorded, arranged, and re-edited by And.id. These refreshing takes on some of Mobilee's best tracks over the years were recorded during live studio sessions with jazz musicians, whose use of real instruments in performing Mobilee tracks -- not to mention And.id mixing and arranging -- breathes new life into these time-tested anthems. The tracks selected for the first disc do well in showcasing Mobilee's current musical diversity, with hard-hitting techno from Pan-Pot, forward-thinking house from GummiHz and experimental downtempo from Exercise One. Dan Curtin and Hector rub up against new tracks from old-timers, amongst whom Anja Schneider, Marcin Czubala, and Sebo K are also included. An exclusive track courtesy of And.id also makes its debut. The second disc is a ride entirely of its own, as And.id takes classic Mobilee tracks and filters them through the lens of jazz with the help of his B.A.N.D., comprised of both recent Berklee College Of Music musicians as well as seasoned studio musicians. But don't be fooled: these aren't just jazz covers. And.id has gone one step further, editing and arranging the recorded instrumentals into an incredibly unique final product. Sebo K's anthem "Horizons," Pan-Pot's lush, piano-led track "Faces," and "Rancho Relaxo," Anja Schneider's collaboration with Sebo K, are just some of the tracks taken to new heights. Mobilee also included the original versions of each of these tracks just for kicks. Four-to-the-floor beats get traded in for live instrumentation and creativity meets the classics on volume 4 of the Back To Back compilation. Other artists include: Lee Van Dowski, Argenis Brito, and Vincenzo.

MOBILEE 055EP
|
And.id is renowned for his live performances in which he integrates both released and unreleased productions, loops, and live use of his trumpet into an incomparably high-energy affair. "First Talk" is a bouncing, tech-y track that constantly moves forward, with build-ups that stop just short of peaking. "Ephoria" also maintains restraint, with stuttered house beats and melodic undercurrents. "Lights On" displays his darker, more minimal side, taking advantage of lower frequency ranges and recurrent echoes.

And.Id presents Sand On The Floor, a relaxing journey into the heart of techno. The title track is warm and tropical, with mysterious keys and retro sequences leading to tribal drum beats. Light wooden xylophone tapping can be faintly heard against looping instrumentals. "Acapulco" is a mystical shower of hollow drums, like a beating heart. Faint Mexican strings warp in and out of rhythmic percussion as masculine voices replace the bass. Chill grooves that call for a lounge chair and a piña colada.

WARE 066EP
|
"With his EP Less Is More, Andreas Dimitriadis aka And.Id from Thessalonica turned out to be one of THE surprise acts on Ware in 2005 as his record hit the nerve of the reinvigorated minimal movement. No wonder, And.id masterfully combines off-the-cuff minimal beats and basic elements with wonderful harmonies, melodies and a very distinct touch of melancholy. And as always it is this distinctiveness that we value the most. Epigones are a dime a dozen."

WARE 056EP
|
"Please welcome the second Ware act from Greece! Andreas Dimitriadis alias And.id is from Thessalonica and has been producing slightly more unusual techno since 2000. Though his functional minimalism is based on the current electro-house trend he doesn't imitate its comparatively stubborn approach in terms of structure and sound. On his Less Is More EP he has succeeded in doing so more than once, whether with a sample of an ancient telephone ringing, hyper-naturalistic piano or with sound scapes one wouldn't have expected anymore. The first track 'Do It Later' is a mix version by Mathias Schaffhäuser and Ziggy Kinder, which also happens to be their debut collaboration. He has previously released records on Thinner, Erase, Klik and GravityRecords."
