NONSERIES 020EP
|
German producer Savas Pascalidis (founder of the Sweatshop and Lasergun labels, with releases on Figure and 909 Pervertions), active since the mid-'90s, presents his fourth EP for Non Series. "Year Two Alpha" is a timeless composition that sticks to the fundamental roots of techno. The added sharpness of "Interpositive" originates from dirty, agitated, and unfiltered chords climaxing into speedy rhythmic hi-hats. "Cold Front" presents itself with a rolling bassline before its cymbals build dynamism throughout the track. The smooth melody of "Quartz" stomps away at a smoother BPM, building a comfortable rhythm.

FIGSPC C
|
"A true home for playful experimentation and a place for real fun to be had, Figure SPC proudly raises its hat to the latest dose of musical mindplay on offer. After the sensational trip that was his Vapors 12" on Len Faki's Figure label, the inimitable Savas Pascalidis returns with four unique club burners that are guaranteed hotter than the sun! 'Positive Force' throws us right into the party, introducing the bold, gutsy vibe of the EP with this sinister synthethiser jam. Using only a handful of elements to tell the tale, an addictive bassline and a psycho-disco groove throw energy all over the place in this reckless monster. But of course that was only the warm up for the mighty 'Let's Rough' that follows on the A2! Tripping, awesome analogue drums and a formidable bass end push this storming big-room-ready cut through all of its rebellious ups and downs."

SWSH 001EP
|
"Berlin's one and only master the dancefloor-dark-arts Savas Pascalidis drops a brand new bomb on a brand new label -- Sweatshop. Deep Inside Your Eyes is a paranoia-infused, funked-out club weapon -- elaborating on the winning combination of tough beats and bass that made recent hits like last year's 'Vapors' on Figure, or his new offering for Len Faki's label, Figure SPC, and this one is guaranteed to rock! Allow the track to take control, and its bouncing, e-funk bassline and introspective vocal hook will draw you ever further into Savas' world. Filtering and tweaking its way through almost 8 minutes of expert analogue twists and turns, this bass heavy jam will dust off the pretenders and show us for who we really are. Savas Pascalidis' reign over the dancefloor is undoubted, we are all at his mercy! Swede-now-Berliner Joel Alter cooks up a hot remix on the flip, taking the tempo up a notch and freaking things out even further with a static-infested break-down that simply needs to be heard to be believed! Funky, post-minimal grooves drive this rock-solid, club-assured mix through its many peaks, leaving us more than satisfied and asking for more. Certainly a producer to watch out for this year."

"A really excellent mix CD is not pretty common, even though this type of pleasure marking has occurred quite often over the last time. After releasing his stunning album Disco Vietnam on International DeeJay Gigolo Rec. as well as his last single 'Hounted House' on Lasergun, Savas now comes up with a mix which doubtlessly can be regarded as a little summit of his this year's work. Since some folks can never get enough, there is a double CD for all willing listeners and dancers. Looking at the tracks, his preferences and passion become obvious. Minimalism in its purest sense combined with the very tension and dramaturgy of a story told from the very first up to the last track make this CD outstanding, even though different styles of music and labels have been included." Artists: Matt Tolfrey & Craig Sylvester, Mike Monday, Steve Barnes, Move D, Konrad Black, Carsten Fietz, Shyza Minelli, Alex Smoke, John Tejada, Metope, Konfekt, Catwash, Polarte, Goldfish & Der Dulz, Booka Shade, Tekel, Justus Köhnke, Paul Kalkbrenner, Misc., Savas Pascalidis, Patrice Bäumel, Mathew Jonson & The Mole, Ruben Montesco, Leon Segka.

GIGOLO 095CD
|
"Galactic Gigolo simply and clearly has to be seen as the ultimate hit album. Pascalidis started his career in 1987 as a DJ playing mostly disco and funk in various clubs in and nearby Stuttgart. In 1988, he started to play more acid and new beat music. From 1991 he organized his first techno parties and met Goran Besoy from Megahertz who showed him the basics of producing electronic music. With an Atari 1040 he then worked on his first EPs The Power Of Music and Masterblaster. With Sugarland Express, his first release on the German cult label Kurbel Records, in 1997 he produced his first superhit which ended up even in the charts of Brazil. In 1998 with his track 'Discotheque', Pascalidis once more called attention within the scene. In 1999, he founded his own label called Lasergun, definitely one of the most exciting outlets of the music scene right now. Since this year Savas has settled down in the musical metropolis Berlin. Pascalidis is one of the most creative sound artists and keyplayers of the international techno-disco-scene. The early 80s have had a great impact on him, the king of disco Giorgio Moroder still turns out to be one of his major idols. Last year with the maxi 'Space Affair' Savas Pascalidis gave his debut on the label which probably fits best to his sound: International DeeJay Gigolo Records. With Galactic Gigolo, Savas defines his home galaxy and combines perfectly spacy techno beats with forgotten disco glitter."
