SOL 011EP
|
After Dana Ruh's highly-acclaimed contribution for the Slices Of Life 10.1 compilation in 2018 (SOL 010-1EP), now her 12" follows with three driving, funky, and percussive house tracks. As DJ, producer, and label owner (Brouquade, Cave Recordings) and co-distribution owner (KMA60), Dana Ruh is one of the driving forces of the Berlin club music scene. Beyond her world-renown DJ skills and running a Berlin-based record shop and event space, Dana Ruh has become a prolific producer, who spends every free minute on developing her unique take on electronic music. She releases, not only on her own labels Brouquade and Cave Recordings, but also other imprints like Underground Quality, Ostgut Ton (in collaboration with André Galuzzi), and RDV. Her club music productions are defined by a particular hazy and moody touch. The tracks are well arranged and always contain the right amount of roughness, which lets the music sound alive and organic. With Still Vause, Dana Ruh presents three powerful titles from driving and percussive, to funky and stripped down. "My Friendly Fire" sends you on a hypnotic drive accompanied by warm sub bass frequencies that make your trouser legs flutter. "Takes Time" brings you back to reality with its energetic drumming, and the funky, minimal. "To Convince" finalizes this ep with organic percussions and warm sounding strings.

BQD 031EP
|
Brouqade 031 features Dana Ruh, bringing classic house vibes to keep your hearts warm as things begin to cool down. "Mawan" is a beatless percussion-based track with beautiful vox. Fred P's Reshape of "Mawan" brings the thump while still bringing a classic deep house flavor with dubby pads and classic piano notes. It's sure to liven up the dancefloor while still keeping the poetic and beautiful vibe of the original. Lastly, "Blue Moon" is a more dancefloor-ready track. On this one Dana mixes elements of deep house and techno together flawlessly, creating an extremely nice, spaced-out groove.

BQD 008EP
|
"On BQD 008, Dana Ruh comes up with 2 tracks focused on percussion elements and groove. Frank Leicher delivers a perfect rework to make this EP complete. 'Vochi Vochi' in the beginning is calm. It works with percussion from break to break. Some vocals of a raggaman are used as a groove element but also in a break to announce the peak of this track. It's clear structured, quite functional, with a massive baseline. 'Nolana Elegans' is deeper than 'Vochi Vochi' but also massive! The mixture of percussion, a short vocal, a Chinese instrument and, finally, a heavy baseline makes it effective as hell. Frank Leicher takes the most important elements of 'Nolana Elegans' and creates a new groove, takes some effects as the spice and.. voila, this great remix is born!"
