ADUB 037EP
|
The grooves stagger along in a casual manner, like modes of club dust in the early morning sun. The samples are tripping, the bassline tight as a spanner, Sending the corners of your mouth on an upward run.

ACKER 006LP
|
LP version. It's been around three years since JPattersson opened up a whole new horizon of formerly unheard possibilities between the worlds of dub and techno with PROGaDUB (ACKER 005CD/004LP, 2015). A lot has been happening ever since, and that's very noticeable on his second album, Folks & Fanfare. It still has all the signature elements of JPattersson: There's his dreamy, virtuous trumpet play and his witty vocals, there's his dubby delays and heavyweight beats which often line up in a downbeat rhythm. However, besides his fanfares there's now also many folks, many musical friends who contribute to the vibe of this album. There's a track with Berlin MC Longfingah, as well as a stylistically wide range of remixes that reflect the symbiotic cooperation and mutual inspiration of these last years. Also features Superpendejos and Timboletti.

On Dranske EP, Felix Eul takes an adventurous, allowing you can get as close to a "Quasar", the most luminous object in the known universe, as no man has ever been before. This voyage takes you to the final frontiers and beyond, where you'll encounter strange aliens like the "Pianoctopus", known to sneak its tentacles into the ears of unsuspecting astronauts and to tickle their skullcaps from the inside. During the flight, you'll experience turbulences, or sudden, adrenaline-loaded outbursts of euphoria. They are caused by trans-dimensional discharges alongside the spaceship, a phenomenon known as "Interplay". Timboletti provides a remix.

Wiek EP sounds like an Indiana Jones themed pinball machine. The listener is the ball that shoots through the rhythmically clicking labyrinth of the apparatus. The rich bass lines act as the electromechanically controlled levers, the flippers accelerate it and keep it going. The percussion is the spring-loaded mechanism that re-directs it to ever new levels. This exciting pinball game is accompanied by ethereal singing and mirage-like violin play that wafts through the hot air of the desert. "Violine Of Love" features Johnny Leoni. Remixes by Mollono.Bass and Pophop.

PopHop looks like a pirate, and what he launches from his music studio sounds like pirate ships. On board of these ships there's always a very colorful, exotic bunch of personalities. They are the multicultural characters of the original tracks from all corners of the world. Under the command of PopHop they sail straight towards the eye of the thunderstorm, which means the heart of the dancefloor. It's the place where he feels home. Little by little, PopHop accumulated so many remixes, edits and tracks that they fill a whole treasure chest. That's exactly what you get: A treasure chest full of dancefloor gold, and a string of pearls that is a mixed version of all these precious grooves. Features: Zigan Aldi, Sandeck, Il Civetto, Pulsar Trio, Timboletti, Ziski, Brummkreisel, Jan Ploetzlich, Kalletti Klub, JPattersson, Skazka Orchestra, Into Lala, Die Vogelperspektive and Stephan Zovsky.

The Micronaut creates the soundtrack for those moments when the screeching of the subway and the steps on the wet pavement have echoed away into the dark city sky; Those moments when the ghosts of fumes and stop lights haunt the empty streets, when behind glowing windows dreams and urban exit strategies get ready for bed; When everybody is close to each other, but everyone is on his own; When the city comes to a standstill, but the wheels inside the heads of its inhabitants keep spinning. Stefan Streck discovers the musical equivalent for this epic atmosphere somewhere between bass music, electronica and pop. The cinematic soundscapes of his nocturnal city blues have a somewhat tragic vibe, which is very noticeable both during the impulsive, passionate live shows of The Micronaut and on Forms, his third studio album on Acker Records. Between moments of deep melancholy and sudden eruptions of blissful euphoria, he creates a feverish state of tension. Features Saskia Arndt, Sebastian Bode, Laura Deadelow, I Am Halo and Robert Groos-Albouts.

Lubmin orbits around a song from Berlin band Il Civetto whose sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesn't really fit any of these labels - "Liberté Ana" is a perfect example. Monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low BPM count. PopHop does what he does best: Party. However, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix there's still a lot of space for the soul of "Liberté Ana". Umami creates an ecstatic banger perfect for prime-time on the dancefloor.

ACKER 050D-EP
|
The dusty twilight of day and night sets the atmospheric backdrop for the dreamlike groove visions of Berlin based producer Zigan Aldi. "Blue Hill", featuring Sandeck, combines a compelling bassline with the enigmatic sound of a string instrument that seems to originate straight from the parallel world of One Thousand and One Nights. "Rosa Martha" starts as a stripped-down rhythm tool with a rather dark vibe which then contrasts beautifully with a hint of warm house music bubbling up from the depths towards the middle of the track. Mollono.Bass and Pophop dedicate their remixes to the uplifting side of things.

The mix of dub and techno is not exactly new. However, JPatterson found a way to combine these genres in a way that checks all the boxes with Ruehn. The catchiest element of his track "Elevator" is his voice and its contagious casualness. The dub version of this track is a bright summer day turned into rhythm and melody. Dole & Kom redesign it into an understated anthem. Mollono.Bass create an energetic rhythm environment for the weightless trombone that feels like it's vibrating.

If you want to explain to somebody what the hell you mean when talking about a "seriously fat bass line," just play these two tracks by Die Vogelperspektive. Pounding banger "Mighty Fat" takes its title from its low-frequency spectrum, but it's amazing to hear how light and uplifting the other elements are. "Noise No Girls" is full of dynamic breaks, stimulating filter sweeps, and casual synthesizer chords, clearly reminiscent of classic house music but with a very fresh and modern twist.

ADUB 029EP

The evening wind carries the sound of distant music. Raindrops run down the window like glistening pearls. It's moments like these, unimposing yet so intense and unforgettable, that make Dolph's sound stand out. The pounding heaviness of the kick drum and the sharp smack of the clap may be omnipresent, but it's really the small moments of understatement that make the magic happen -- dubby delays whirling through the air like leaves, long filter modulations morphing like wafts of fog, colorful harmonies popping up like sudden flowers. The mellow stimulation of "Free of Thoughts" is backed here with "X," a collaboration with Le Volt.

Every dog has that one spot -- you scratch it, and your four-legged friend loses control and starts kicking in ecstasy. Timboletti's music works pretty much like that, only he uses full-bodied basslines to stimulate his audience. Timboletti employs psychelicious sounds and melodies, enchanted sample scraps, and a pinch of acid for a sound that tickles the brain and the body. It's the essence of forward thrust and deepness, presented in five variations on Hintersee.

It's dub, but reverberating far beyond the genre's borders. It has a summer reggae vibe, but doesn't sound like just another chapter of that good old story. It's perfidiously dope, but at the same time extremely danceable. It has clever lyrics, but it's all about the sound. It's what JPattersson describes as PROGaDUB -- because he's not from Jamaica, he's from East Germany. Inspired by heavyweight bass lines, bicycle rides, and Caribbean riddims; by chocolate, vintage groovebox sounds, and the carefree ruckus of kids playing on the street, the young talent delivers an album that is chiefly progressive and diverse. "We Came in Peace" is built around dynamic chanting and passionate trumpet play. "Ravers Dub" is a smooth mélange of straight beats, mellow offbeat chords, and the psychedelic echoes of a steel drum. The chorus of "Turn Off Your Smartphone" invites one to sing along, and "Vagabond" is a dreamy interplay of handmade music and synthetic groove. Some tracks come with a sublime hint of Balkan sound, some with an air of jazz. In doing what felt right, JPattersson has successfully defined his very own genre: PROGaDUB. CD includes a remix by Pophop.

When the entire dancefloor turns into a jumping frenzy, when you find yourself bawling along at the top of your voice, when losing control feels like just the right thing to do -- then there's a good chance that the Skazka Orchestra is on stage. Their 2012 album Kalamburage (EBM 024CD) has now been remixed. The result is a collection as colorful, diverse, and wild as the background of the band from Berlin itself: some interpretations keep close to the compositional vibe of the original song, others use frisky house and electro rhythms to hurl it straight into the center of a buzzing nightclub. Sometimes it's all about beats, bass, and pressure, and sometimes a remix turns out to be a deconstructivist collage of sounds. There's always a somewhat Russian vibe to it, but also a very open-minded feeling of world music -- and it's always about reckless party and general joy of life. Well, it's Skazka Orchestra remixed after all. As always, vinyl comes with supreme sound quality. Remixes by Kombinat100, Seth Schwarz, Kommodore K, Pophop, Nellski, Jan Pyroman, Bonze & Kroesus, Strom, Mandy Mozart, and Skazka Orchestra.

Timboletti's Lindholz EP opens with "Murrakus" and "Wüstenlauf," which evoke mysterious scenes from an oriental bazaar and incite a pleasant restlessness in the listener. The deep yet uplifting "Makrovic" is invaded by tripped-out samples, reminiscent of radio transmissions from some odd parallel dimension. "Barfuss Bravo" sounds just as alien and is just as compelling, as delirious melodies and delay cascades unfold upon tight, driving rhythm sections. Mollono.Bass's remix is a stardust fantasy flying high upon a standing bassline. In contrast, Caterkarlos shifts down a gear and reflects on the multidimensional anatomy of "Barfuss Bravo" with a smooth down beat version.

If you think the formula of brass players + a club groove is somewhat worn-out, you will be pleasantly surprised by Konfetti Klub Ensemble's Leussow EP. "Pomelo" comes with bouncy offbeat rhythms, and when the trombone hits in, there's clearly an air of Balkan sound. However, around the middle of the track it turns into a joyful freestyle session. Mollono.Bass puts a bit more emphasis on beats, bass and pressure in his version, and "Rotwein Und Sommerverbot" gives a groovy hint as to why Konfetti Klub Ensemble describe their sound as "Live Brass House." "Schwankel Pankel" vibrates effortlessly between intricate musical deepness and sheer to-the-floor euphoria.

Combining highly sophisticated composition techniques with banging kick drums and whipping hi-hats, Seth Schwarz's impact on the dancefloor is truly symphonic. On "Elysium" efficient rhythms meet intricate instrumentations, seamlessly sewn together by virtuous violin playing. Mollono.Bass fills his hypnotic remix of this track with jangling sound fragments before they eventually add up to the symphonic dimensions of the original. "Canooby Tune" gives full expression to the open-minded character of Seth Schwarz, featuring a jazzy double bass, a bouncy piano, and broken-beat textures. Dole & Kom turn this vivid jam session into a trembling dose of floorward pressure.
