The grand master from Greece Mihalis Safras throws in all the goodies he has collected in his toolbox, spiced up with slashing white noise, modulation sounds and nice echoing spaces. "Ozinio" rocks the club in a stylish and cool way, whereas "Giannakis" works with big, pounding drums, a kinky melody plus vocals and ethno passages. The first remix is a great techno tool from Luigi Madonna, very linear and keeping it steady, whereas Simone Tavazzi works with stronger, stop-and-go programming.

The Greek icon Mihalis Safras returns with a powerful 4-track EP. The title track is a masterpiece of post-Chicago sexiness -- sensual and very rhythmic. The DJ Madskillz remix is reduced and funky dub techno. "Sirano" puts more emphasis on the Latin groove factor and is a track for people who know how to dance -- seductive and hypnotic, a perfect flipside track.

Hugo's remix of Mihalis Safras' "There Is No Place" invites us to celebrate the party with a filtered vocal sample and cool hook-line. A great house tune. "Materialistic" keeps jitters and quivers alongside small bits of vocals, thunderous delays and walking bass lines. This track has a nice Detroit feeling to it, somewhere along the way makes Blake Baxter come alive. Last but not least, the original version of "There Is No Place" shows us what triggered this release.

Here are 3 remixes of Mihalis Safras' hit track "Interafrica." Mark Broom has done an exceptional remix, converting the percussive power of the original into a slick, techno rocker. The Glitz sticks closely to the original, but enrobes it in a hi-tek sound design for people who love modern sound aesthetics. Luciano Esse & Toni D emphasize the percussive side of the original, fusing it with a hypnotic disco bass line in the style of Carl Craig. Classic.

This is the debut full-length release by the highly-lauded Greek DJ/producer/Material Series label-head, Mihalis Safras. Cry For The Last Dance is comprised of 11 previously-unreleased tracks, plus a 2009 edit of the absolutely jubilant "Here Comes The Rain." Safras has been around the international techno landscape for almost 10 years, but has recently been blowing up. His powerful electronic sound is reflected in his remixes for BPitch, Great Stuff etc., blended with a relaxed, chilled-out sense of melody and rhythm that is minimal, meticulous, and unfailingly warm, with a heart as big as Mykonos and the speed of Pegasus. Mihalis Safras is a true artist who travels once a year with his band, shutting down all techno channels to play instruments instead -- and this only adds to the musicianship behind all his productions. Beats are blended with clarinets, strings, horns, and an organic purity, leading to perfect outdoor dance moments, and peaceful indoor listening, too.

"Great Stuff is very proud to have the original the Tzatziki Groove Man on board: Mihalis Safras from Athens/Greece, one of the most productive techno producers on the planet with releases and remixes on Trapez, 2020 Vision, Sci + Tec, his own labels Material Series and Playmobil Series and upcoming stuff on BPitch Control and Soma. Mellowing his style as times goes by, getting more experimental and spacey with a fresh style of his own, Mihalis's production is destined to the wiser dancefloors and most of his vinyls receive international awareness by reaching into charts of the biggest DJs like Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Adam Beyer, Ricardo Villalobos and many more."

Mihalis Safras plays heavily with percussive ethno elements on Rainforest. "Rainforest" thows you from one side of the Jeep to the other, diving into a dream-like, malarial saxophone solo. Weird, dark and cool. "Here Comes The Rain" is a cool post-Detroit techno track with strings Kevin Saunderson would love. An open-air tune with a melody that brings you happiness and sadness at the same time.

Mihalis Safras fuses African sounds with minimal, stripped-down fat beats on Interafrica. The title track will be big with minimal as well as house DJs, incorporating some very catchy African sounds that tear down the boundaries between genres. "Interamerica" evolved from "Interafrica," picking up on the world music sound, while binding it in a minimal techno corset. Interafrica has already created a mighty stir with the few people who have heard it.

This is the first in a series of records that Greek artist Mihalis Safras will exclusively release on Trapez Ltd. Safras has many talents -- writing techno trax, film music and for his own band. "Colpo Grosso" is a jacking but nervous tune that shows his ability to control the pace on the dancefloor by introducing small but important details. "Doo Doo" is a warped electronic track for the late night hours, really drugged-out with lots of sounds and effects.

"Mihalis Safras is one of the most exciting electronic talents in Greece, with releases on Harthouse, Traum, Enemy, Mikrowave, Shadow Fax and ELP as well as his own Cusp and Material imprints. Perc Trax is the brainchild of underground dance hero Ali Wells, aka Perc, Spartak and Votion. Much loved by a variety of top jocks, Perc Trax counts the likes of James Holden, Josh Wink, Paul Woolford and Funk D'Void among its regular supporters. Aimed at the more adventurous listener craving loose, exciting electronic house built for a club environment, the 1V2 EP already counts the likes of Sebo K, Miss Kittin and Shlomi Aber amongst its supporters. The EP also comes complete with a mix from former Lazy Fat Person, Ripperton, who delivers a deep acid interpretation that ranks among his best work for Wagon Repair, Planet E and Border Community."
