A&L 033EP
|
German producer and Arms & Legs owner Daniel Steinberg presents an EP of remixes of tracks from his 2016 album Left-Handed. From the jacking techno madness of Paul Johnson's remix of "Bones" to the rock-solid funk of Crazy P's remix of "Peace" to the silky soulfulness of Nick Holder's remix of "No One Can Change Me" and the raw avant-electronica of 808 State's remix of "Crucial," it's safe to say that there is no filler on this impressively versatile collection.

Berlin DJ and producer Daniel Steinberg's Left-Handed Part 1 is a kaleidoscopic trip through house, electronica, and jazz imbued with the artist's trademark warmth and adventurous musical spirit. "Corn Dog" is a melting-pot of Latin, tech, funk, rap, and jazz, preceding the Chicago-inspired "State of Mind" and "Bones" and the bluesy nostalgia of "Peace." They all work beautifully as a cohesive whole.

A&L 012EP
|
Daniel Steinberg returns, showcasing four brand-new cuts. "Salamander" boasts majestic strings and grandiose piano sections waltzing across a clipped tech-house drum groove. "Moon Ride" is a joyous latticework of quirky percussion, horn stabs and snatched soul a cappellas. "Beautiful" features dense slabs of warm analog bass and mournful, scattered vocal snippets. On "Lazy Bones" the vibe switches down a notch, and the track rolls along with a languid euphoria to end the EP on a blissfully high note.

Double LP version featuring 8 tracks from the CD. Berlin DJ/producer Daniel Steinberg locked himself in his East Berlin studio for a nine-day period of self-imposed exile that ultimately laid the foundations for his opus, Treptow. "For the nine days I didn't speak to a soul except for the pizza delivery guy and completely lost my mind (in the best possible way) listening to some very obscure experimental music from the likes of Ron Geesin, Mark Shreeve, and Trevor Wishart." Long-lauded by Jesse Rose who signed him to his Front Room Recordings label and the likes of Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano and Claude VonStroke, who've supported his tunes, Treptow speaks of a producer enjoying a deep vein of inspiration. Over 14 tracks he has crafted an album filled to the brim with rich, personality-laden electronic music that's indicative of not just the breadth of his production palette, but his passion and commitment towards creating colorful dance music with genuine soul and feeling. To encase oneself in the world of Steinberg's Treptow is to be taken on a trip through the artist's kaleidoscopic musical consciousness, which effortlessly swings from the multi-layered bass grooves and low-slung funk of "Mechanics," to the disco-tinged vibes of "True Romance" and "Joy & Happiness," the latter of which received Beatport's "Track of the Day" upon release in 2012. A long-time hero of the Berlin club scene with regular appearances at Watergate, Tresor and Suicide Circus, as well as the Fusion Festival, Steinberg was 13 when the Berlin Wall came down. He has fond memories of slipping out of his bedroom window to attend the legendary E-Werk and Bunker clubs, immersing himself in the sounds of Strictly Rhythm, R&S, Low Spirit and Bonzai Records. Such was his passion for the movement that he quickly became the DJ for his school in Treptow making mixtapes for his friends. Years later, it was also in Treptow that he produced his first record in his tiny apartment, and today it's that very former apartment that is the location for his studio and the site of creation for his latest album, making this a fitting tribute.

Famed for his love of crate-digging, Steinberg's pet passion is on full display throughout the album with "Tomorrow," deftly combining jackin' beats with chopped-up vintage funk samples, before moving things southwards, with the tropical Latin vibes of "Pasilda." He also crafts, simple, stunning piano-laden house with aplomb, as album single "Can't Find My Baby" attests to, while reinforcing his ability to produce punchy, crisp tech house with "Let Me Down" and shimmering "Low Rider."

Daniel Steinberg returns with Can't Find My Baby, the first single from his forthcoming sophomore album Treptow. Combining crisp tech house beats, with the analog-style warmth of keys and trumpet, together with hook-ridden vocal samples Can't Find My Baby is filled to the brim with his signature soul and playfulness while retaining a definite dancefloor sensibility. The package also includes a smooth, stripped back re-rub from Sascha Braemer & Dan Caster and an added bonus "True Romance," a silky string house cut.

Harry Axt takes you on a ride through the dimensions of sound. Beginning deep, Harry gets dirty with "Dimensions" then delivers some top-tier tech-funk with "Drifting." The third stop is "Two Faces," with a melody that will stay with you long after the journey's over. With its unorthodox vocal loop and a jacking four-to-the-floor beat, Harry takes those of you still "Standing" to the final dimension.

Harry Axt has sharpened the axe, bringing three tracks of peak-time madness. "No Return" is a dark floor-burner with a break that will blast every dancefloor. "Gameshow" is a stompy homage to Germany's '80s quiz-show master, Harry Wijnvoord and "Klapperstorch" is dedicated to the stork and his flapping habit.

The second release on Arms & Legs comes along with four jaunty tracks. With "Everybody Everybody" and "My Feeling," Daniel Steinberg brings you two powerful, pleasant primetime tracks in his typical style on the A-side. Nils Ohrmann's "Hoopin´" on the flip-side is a hip-shaking, deep groover with a tender touch of old school, and Oliver $ does his remix-thang very well in a dubby way.
