LIVING 006EP

"Evirgen aka Hüseyin Evirgen was born in Istanbul, Turkey and now lives in Vienna, Austria where you will often him find him either DJing or performing his live sets. His study of composition and electro-acoustic music at the University of Istanbul and Mozarteum Salzburg have left him in good stead for his creation of subtle compositions and driving flow, giving you both shaky leg on the the dance-floor and noddy head in the living room. His precisely programmed tracks tell of his insight into the functionality of music and the syntax of sounds."

"He's the biggest UK producer you've never heard of. Dub Kult's records and his label, Living, get props from every one from Bug to Villalobos to Weatherall to Vath, Roman Flügel to Troy Pierce to Jay Haze to Zip and Mathias Kaden. And musically, it's a bit more cerebral an approach than the usual. 'At the center of clubbing madness,' Dub Kult says, 'lies a still, reflective core. There always has to be some brooding meaning, even in the moments of the most insane dancefloor abandon."

"Lars Wickinger's debut release on Living. This rising star has already released on Traum, Opossum, Liebe*Detail and Dimmer. For this EP, he brings us his special blend of melancholic electronica underpinned with solid dancefloor beats and represents the cream of pan-European underground electronic club music. If you're after something a little different that kicks it in the club, then this could well be it. The A-side, 'Silver Bullet,' is a must-have track for those groovy, trippy 3am moments. It is only revealed in its full glory in a club when the crepuscular magical elements really come together -- in the dark, with sweat dripping down the walls. 'Crystalline' is one of those tracks that can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. When the melody finally breaks through into some kind of resolution, it's like the sun breaking through the clouds and suddenly you feel glad to be alive."

LIVING 004EP

"'1914' is a grass roots minimal techno record deep in grooves and deep in imagery. 1914 was an important year in human history. Pain, suffering, wars, heroic events. People and their politics. But nothing has changed. 100 years later the wars and suffering continue. The starting point of this material is a child's love and nostalgia for war's forgotten, discarded heroes. Battleships died just like people did. Close your eyes and visualize that battleship struggling with the seas. In darkness, fighting the war and feeling its cold face intimately buoyant on the abysmal depths of the black sea. In some mysterious way Taylan has used the techno form to soundtrack this dark, lost, melancholic abstract tale of forgotten heroes. The original is uncompromising in this expression. Throbbing, bleak and somehow at home with itself. The rework is aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Tight, harsh and crisp clubby beats are nicely counter played by the battleship lost at sea atmospherics. While Randoman's remix is paced somewhere in-between. All at once classy and slick and moody and gruff."
