This is the first full-length release by Berlin's Format:B. Steam Circuit comes with a lot of pressure and fun, but by all means is so much more than just a load of hot air. Franziskus Sell and Jakob Hildenbrand always stand out on the Highgrade label with their highly energetic tracks, which are strongly club-oriented without losing musical sense, funkiness or the joy of playing around. Their EP releases Like A Techmachine or the extremely successful Bronson Road are little milestones in Highgrade's label history. Steam Circuit presents new work, plus some of their most successful tracks so far, presented in the form of a DJ mix that demonstrates their whole spectrum: from the dark, bouncing "Edding 850" to trips into more acid-like areas with "Boot Cut" or the easy-rollin' stuff like "Like A Techmachine." When vocals are in the game, Format:B goes one step further "Si Pero No" has the clear potential to hit the scene like Pier Bucci's "Hay Consuelo" did. In cooperation with Jake The Rapper on "Something Suitable," they combine their trademark sub-bass lines with hypnotic sounds and deliver in combination with Jake's vocals the perfect instant-club-banger. All in all, it's a wild ride on the zeitgeist of club sound -- powerful tracks which seem to never lose their breath.
