COR 159EP
|
Pig&Dan return to their roots, Cocoon Recordings with Reset Your Bassline. Nine years on, Dan Duncan and Igor Tchkotoua have lost none of their sixth sense for moving the crowd as this uncluttered yet devilishly effective dancefloor double-header proves. "Reset Your Bassline" couldn't be more appropriately named, revealing itself with a powerful, pumping bass and tightly programmed vocal samples. An indispensable addition to this autumn's set list, "Lost Another Angel" delivers with a pure dose of after-hour bliss. It's a playful Balearic technodub with a canny sense for an unforgettable melody at sunrise, conjuring up broad smiles on glowing faces.

BOXER 079EP

Pig&Dan bring the summer to the dancefloor with a heavy drumbeat. As if after an endless winter, you look out your misty windows, and suddenly, the door bell rings -- you look through the spyhole, and what you see is bright summer light.

Includes a vocal mix, a dub version, and a remix by Werner Niedermeier.

COR 055EP
|
Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan aka Pig&Dan are important techno ambassadors who have appeared on Datapunk and Pickadoll and who have remixed Eric Prydz and Underworld. Terminate features two peak-time hymns in between the past and future of dance music. "Terminate" is a true chameleon, hypnotizing with reduced bass knocks and an epically-long insect noise break. "Organix," with its bells and cut sequencer elements, is a future-compatible version of the hypno-techno that Plus8 represented in its early days circa 1990/1991.

DTP 033EP
|
Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan aka Pig&Dan are amongst the most influential protagonists of Balearic techno music. With their debut for Datapunk, both prove their good nose for powerful yet harmonic techno. "Dream Of Bells" is situated in the golden center between modern Chicago sound, percussive acid and psychoactively blurred digital cembalo. The powerful subwoofer orgy of "Subculture" also vibrates with restless modulations and metallic percussions through an acid bath, without 303 clichés. Something for your mind.

COR 043EP
|
Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan are two Mallorquinos and one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and Deliverance delivers absolute proof of this. With a warmly distorted, pressing bass line and a smoky voice, the title track is a DJ tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. "Sly Detector" is atmospheric techno with a rolling hookline and a splash of acid that is already a dancefloor hit.

This is the double vinyl version of the full-length debut by Pig&Dan. Right now, their electronic house sound is a perfect image of what is happening on the planet's dancefloors: trippy and driving electronic beats are combined with filigree bass lines and giant spherical spaces, and weird sounds are composed within long, sophisticated arrangements. Modern minimal house with a good share of techno. On Imagine, the duo reduce themselves to the essentials of current techno productions and work more clearly on the elements that a modern dance track should have. This is the sound of the Cocoon floors in Ibiza, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Rome, transported directly to your iPod, stereo and car. Pig&Dan's impressive debut proves that they are not only fantastic DJs and remixers, but can also create first-class productions.

PICK 022EP
|
The Spanish-based production kings and label-owners Pig & Dan return to Pickadoll with some truly Balearic & beautiful techno tunes. The track "88" is a hypnotic journey based upon slightly modulating old-school chords. The B-side starts with a dark teKKno monster called "Blobz": arpeggios, stripped-down drumming, reverbs make up an unbelievably raw ecstasy music which then develops into a neo-trance extravaganza with some highly impressive breakdowns! "Robots" consists of video game sounds, sexy beats and some almost psychedelic guitar-like licks... after-hours madness guaranteed!

Pig & Dan are one of the big newcomers on Cocoon Recordings. With After Ibiza/Touch, they deliver a real beamer for Cocoon, totally right on in giving consideration to the Ibiza reference. For ten minutes, echo bleeps and trippy beats are screwed into your brain in a way that sometimes reminds of Ricardo Villalobos. The B-side "Touch" comes along in a more tech-house style, with minimal structures and overlapping harmonies, which make the perfect soundtrack for every sundown.

WK 009EP
|
"'Uh Hugh': this side of the record is a story that tells itself. Dirt mixed with crunchy melody and excitement, makes this mix of bouncing bubbly blobs an irresistible must-have. Low end sub-loving bass lines and analog riffs all together with a voice that tells it like it is, 'Uh Hugh.' This side also holds the fort as far as the old-school is concerned. Deep, lush and full-on non-stop madness. Jump in and roll in it. 'Viography': this vibrant electro pumper is another one of Pig & Dan's more positive good time tracks that has made the duo's name more present in the boxes of the less techno oriented DJs. Its feel and vibe still hold the electronic imprint to be expected of their previous works, but with a melodic edge that is unique and has a smile appeal that reaches peaks of musical bliss. This production has its little twists that give it an acid vibe and a feel which was present in the old-school."

COR 023EP
|
The second strike from Pig & Dan on Cocoon Recordings after the fabulous "Oh Yeah!" is a very fine recording, showing the production skills of the two Mallorca residents Igor Tchkutoa (aka Pig) and Dan Duncan. One day in 1999, Dan Duncan was discussing music to the person sitting next to him on a flight to Spain. Igor Tchkotoua was sitting directly behind him and heard Dan explaining his involvement in the music industry and decided to join the conversation. After the flight Igor and Dan swapped numbers and agreed that one day they should hook up and talk. They both had started producing and DJing back in the days of acid house and warehouse parties, and two years after their first meeting, they decided it would be stupid not to get in the studio together -- the start of Pig & Dan.
