FREUDE 042EP
|
2024 repress. Marek Hemmann presents two long sides that strike a tone with a powerful punch. "Inessa" is like the remembrance of an energetic dream. The typically exhilarating Marek tribalism stresses house-y elegance and hearty thumps for an enriching techno experience. "Gemini" drives forward, striking a balance of sounds called forth from the crowd during a solstice ritual.

FREUDE 015LP
|
LP version. 180 gram. Includes download code and poster. The third time is the charm...that's right. Thus, the joy about the third album by Marek Hemmann, Moments, is huge. Likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musician's potential. Either hold one's ground or dare something new? Marek Hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. He was merely in the mood for new tracks. The eight newcomers on Moments sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterized by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which Marek Hemmann is world-renowned. However, a "just continue as before" mentality is not an option for the Berliner by choice. From the beginning, his music effortlessly blurred the established genre lines. In this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candor. As already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums In Between (FREUDE 004CD/LP) and Bittersweet (FREUDE 009CD/LP), in Moments Hemmann takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music. The album, nestled between "Helio" and "Bob", branches to significantly different moods, from silent pauses to weightlessly lifting off to dancing around dreamily. Yet, within the many interwoven details, a noticeable sophistication can be picked out. Even more seamless and subtle, Marek Hemmann manages to unite euphoria and sweet melancholy, playful and sublime sounds, warmly shifting basses and sweeping synth-melodies. Moments provides moments of life and moments on the dancefloor with this fitting soundtrack.

FREUDE 070EP
|
Marek Hemmann's Chameleon EP offers two euphoric 10-minute house cuts that do what they do, whether in the oven that is the underground cellar, or on the windowsill at home with a view of the prairie. Hemmann's characteristic crispy, dry beat with a pulse drives the listener, almost trance-like, ever forward. "Chameleon" builds a tender, soft synth sound-structure, bringing a wonderful, heavenly vibe that in seconds turns into a complex form. "Alice" uses a similar house rhythm and forms a soft, almost romantic melody that so quickly takes on a hypnotic-type flavor. Released in advance of Hemmann's third album.

FREUDE 009LP
|
180 gram double LP version with download code. Marek Hemmann presents his second solo album on Freude am Tanzen. Ten tracks, un- complicated and progressive with a sophisticated mix-down and laconic, scant titles. The fine electronic sound is broken over and over through the inclusion of angry-pop synths, played with a seemingly strong, increasing train of machines. These warm, bass-filled sounds are the accompaniment to album, and bring the analog past into the digital future. While they are not the core, they are but the floor on which all of the songs stand. The album leads the listener from deep house over crispy dancefloor burners and ambient songs up to spring-lusting romances with guitar samples. On his recent releases, Hemmann has revealed his strong affinity for electronic music with a fine hand for multi-faceted arrangements and that bit of swinging, into-eternity-pointing sound. He is certainly among the foremost romantics amongst electronic artists and he has a firm grasp of how to demonstrate his musical talents accordingly. Bittersweet is a wonderful, mysterious union of the body between the dancefloor and the balcony, between the sweet sunrise and the energy- loaded club night.

FREUDE 047EP
|
On this 12" Marek Hemmann is the leader in producing; on point, at the center of the heart of the club. This time, he has marshaled foreign forces for both pieces. Fabian Reichelt intones with an airiness and soul, and a guarded intensity on both sides. It is Hemmann's first real vocal record which will, just as his own discography has already, enrich the dancefloors and beyond. Yes to the voice, yes to fresh techno.

FREUDE 004LP
|
2024 repress. 2LP version,originally released 2009. This is the debut full-length album from Germany's Marek Hemmann. Hemmann has long been one-half of the duo Hemmann & Kaden, who for years have been the pillars of the new house & techno scene, both as producers and as a live act. Hemmann has also been responsible for innumerable remixes, from Dirt Novitzky to Chopstick & Johnjon to Dusty Kid. In Between is pure technoid material in an eclectic house-world, which offers a new discovery at every turn. From classic deep-droning dub epos over frizzy house with shots of bossa nova and demanding horn-action, up to highly complex sample tone-art, this is a long, rewarding trip through techno-land. With a round of wholly comprehensive melancholy and hypnotic bass lines, the tracks bathe you in a type of beauty that will come over you like a sunrise.

FREUDE 038EP
|
This is Marek Hemmann's first solo release (without Matthias Kaden) on FAT. "Who Two" has an irresistible techno thrill and a bold whistle ditty. "Junoka" is led by a wavy dark tone peppering a light-footed lusty flux cabinet -- a little smoke and a lot of bang! "Rashomon" features hypnotic rhythms in the most beautiful of melodic arrangements -- electrically-charged and optimistic.

RAUM 060EP
|
"Marek Hemmann returns with his second single. Marek hails from Jena, located in the eastern part of Germany and he is one part of the project Hemmann & Kaden as well as he is part of the Freude am Tanzen collective also based in Jena. 'Lowdown' on the A-side is a ten-minute monster that blends rave appeal with some house elements in a very clever way. The track will always surprise you while listening to it. The two tracks on the B-side are even a bit more house related soundwise and in combination with Marek's supertight grooves, they complete this nice three-track EP."

MMR 007EP
|
"One half of Freude am Tanzen's Hemmann & Kaden with his first solo release: Marek Hemmann delivers three dancefloor movers giving Milnormodern another facet of rocking minimal stuff. 'Ropy' on Side A shows the path right from the start: while his predecessors on MMR preferred a rather dryly kickin' sound, Marek's handwriting is always somewhat melodic. His tracks are dwelling on a Jena-typical clicky rhythmic foundation but it's these dreamy and slightly melancholic synth lines that emphasize his unique character."

"Marek Hemmann is one of a new generation of young, fantastic producers coming out of Jena, Eastern Germany. Together with his partner, Mathias Kaden, they form the Jena based 'Freude am Tanzen' recordings duo 'Hemmann & Kaden.' We are exceptionally chuffed to have Marek debuting his first solo project on his debut with Raum...Musik! It's a personality packed three track EP -- each track exploring different moods. Just hear for yourself!!"
