OVM 243EP
|
Ovum's 20th birthday celebrations continue with a release from Itamar Sagi. After a five year hiatus from the label, he triumphantly returns with the Invisible Key EP. The title-track is classic Sagi, and slowly brings you in with twists and turns, building up a tension that will keep the dancefloor wanting more and more. "New Order" harkens back to the sound of Basic Channel, G-Man, and John Ciaffone. Sagi once again builds the tension with vocal samples and effects that deliver an absolute massive punch without being overdone. On "Dub Superstitions," Sagi brings us a proper techno workout -- a massive finish to this stellar EP.

INTAC 027EP
|
Intacto welcomes Tel Aviv's Itamar Sagi, whose roots are firmly planted in underground techno grooves. He has a 7-year residency at the legendary Homan 17 club in Israel, which was selected as one of the best 10 clubs worldwide by the UK's DJ Mag. "Kampala" features warm, padded electric beats that muse over prickly percussion to bring you a tune that's vibrant and edgy. "Stuguts" is pounding and demanding -- its steel-thumping rhythm pumps across a killing, banging bass.

BAO 022EP
|
Itamar Sagi comes back home with another package of solid techno for the Be As One imprint. As expected from Itamar, his original version is a summery techno groove with a funky bass line and quality techno drums for the big rooms. Steve Lawler delivers a dancefloor treat, a housier rework of the original. There's also Luca Bacchetti with an old school approach to Itamar's original, 909 hi-hats and rolling drums -- can't ask for more.

BAO 020EP
|
Itamar Sagi returns to Be As One in perfect Sagi-style with the Selio/Series 1 EP. The title track is an uplifting and punching slab of techno, with a real fat beat and Itamar's distinctive, trademark chord sound. "Series 1" is a paced-down and trippy number -- very atmospheric in mood, but with a bouncy groove. Perfect for a summer dancefloor.

KKLAP 008EP
|
"Itamar Sagi from the Be As One label really made a name for himself with his 'Black Gold' track that was released earlier this year. Inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of Detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certainly paid off in the end. Here he has done something a bit different. Not less good though. Actually better. This is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. Perfect!"

BAO 009EP
|
With remixes by Samuel L. Sessions & Chymera. "This ninth release proves how wide the range of techno is on Be As One, with different moods but always with the same high quality standard. With 'Black Gold' and its remixes, BAO is indeed back to a more classic techno sound. Already featured by Funk D Void in his latest Soma compilation, the original 'Black Gold' is a true musical treat. Built around a fat beat and an uplifting stab, this summery slice of techno is perfect for the warmer months ahead and will be played by the most various DJs around. Samuel L Session is a producer that needs no introduction to techno fans around the world. Known for his loopy and classic sounding techno, Samuel has been recently busy remixing for some of the best labels and artists, the latest one being Kevin 'The Elevator' Saunderson. With his rework of 'Black Gold' he proved once again to be one of the best remixers around, bringing us a driving and obscure reinterpretation that's as much uplifting as the original. This is is just the first of a series of works SLS will be busy with for Be As One. Chymera is another of those 'men of the moment' of the techno scene. Known for the melodies that are already known as his trademark sound, here Brendan brings us something really different from what he used us to. A fat kick and a solid, driving, pumping groove, all mixed up with a wise usage of the original stabs, makes this monster something really special for all the techno DJs looking for something that has a 'classic' feel."
