UY 102EP
|
Upon.You presents four highlights from its 2015 Diary 5 digital compilation, compiled by label cofounder Marco Resmann. Pascal Hetzel's "Data Loss" is a must for all dancefloors dedicated to deeper grooves, with its sweet analog chords and slightly acid-infused Chicago vibe. Italian DJ and producer Acirne delivers nothing short of a massive roller with her track "Morla," featuring melancholic strings and a sparkling synth sequence. Mass Digital's "Rotation" showcases his highly functional approach, lush bass work, huge off-kilter synth sweeps, and spiraling sirens. Haiku575 and Luca Saporito's close the EP with "Knowledge Is Free," a massive statement for late-night sessions.

UY 100EP
|
The Upon.You label celebrates the 100th release in its continuous sequence of catalog numbers with a gold-colored 12" single by label cofounder Marco Resmann, bearing gold-colored label prints in transparent packaging. "100" is a big-room monster of a tech house tune, providing maximum tension through scattered shakers, carefully arranged synth sweeps, and strident build-ups of dark, psyched-out, proggy bass and mid-range warps that lead toward an ultimate climax. The "Jubiläum Mix" pairs intense, spiraling basslines with layers of ecstatic stabs and a continuous swell of uplifting, positive synths for high-octane levels of buzzing dancefloor energy.

UYX 005EP
|
Belgium-born Sammy Goossens aka Sierra Sam presents "Remember Me," sporting percussion layers as hot as a tropical night out and well-morphed sample wizardry before positive, uplifting stab sequencing and an energy overload. Pascal Hetzel and Sierra Sam's remix is a darker affair, on the technoid side of things. Psyched-out, acid-induced synth lines meet a threatening, slightly distorted drum foundation, frizzling high-hats on overdrive, and devilish, psychotic vocal processing. Upon.You cofounder Marco Resmann's remix is a fascinating, highly energetic, yet dry and toolish take on the original track for maximum dancefloor frenzy.

UY 098EP
|
Geneva-based artist, DJ, and producer Quenum follows his 2013 Upon.You debut, Rhyme (UY 073EP), with Trouble. "Colour Pulp" fuses an uncompressing yet minimalistic, hard-pumping tech-house foundation, tripping vocal bits, and a highly percussive build-up, perfect for late-night abuse. "Trouble" also relies on Quenum's trademark rolling minimalism and obscured, morphing, ethereal voices, but adds quirky synths and a steamy, feverish feel. "Geneve Never Sleeps" speeds up things on a darker, more technoid level; muffled bass drums meet scattered, futuristic percussion before shrieking stabs and ghostly sounds take over and the unstoppable techno engine starts to run. Proper machine music; pure energy.

UYX 004EP

Upon.You's rough 'n' raw underground white-label UYX Series delivers the Leo Dance EP by French DJ producer Farid Boudinar aka F.E.X. (Dessous Recordings, Brique Rouge, Systematic), who was responsible for the first UYX Series release in 2013. "Leo Dance" features hard-hitting snare-rolls; fast-paced drums; brooding, big-room basslines; and deep yet uplifting synths. The minimal tech-house of "Overdeus" builds into a beautiful sequential arrangement of climax after climax after climax. "Puretec" enters darker, sci-fi influenced realms with undulating strings and a perfect synth sequence that pays homage to the masters of Detroit techno -- perfect for basements immersed in fog and strobe lights.

Samuel Thalmann aka Okain follows up his digital label debut, Some of My Tools (2014), and his praised collaboration with Onno (UY 085EP, 2014). "Coma" delivers swirling hi-NRG synth modulations and super-ecstatic vocal bits for those who like to get into the groove. Prime-time heaven. "Karma" is clearly focused on the deeper end of the spectrum, with spatial effects and mellow, slightly dubbed-out chords meeting muscular drums, balearic sample-work, and scenic string arrangements. "Silver Door" delivers Chitown-reminiscent phonk, stripped-down production, and an almighty acid line to hype the crowd right before floating synths up the intensity.

The debut of Loyoto, the brainchild of Berlin-based artists Clé (Märtini Brös., Poker Flat Recordings, Local Talk) and Eva Be (Best Works, Best Seven, Sonar Kollektiv, Pulver Records), opens with "Looking at the Starz," a deep and organic tech-house affair touched by floating dub and featuring beautiful bass motifs, levitating drones, reverberant chords, and dream-inducing space vocals. Upon.You cofounder Marco Resmann's primetime-focused remix of the opener features demandingly pounding drums and sharp hi-hats paving the way for a threatening, ever-evolving, and slightly metallic-sounding sawtooth synth. "Black Holes" is a spaced-out, sparse, and stripped-down vision of electronic dub.

Magit Cacoon follows her 2015 debut album Other Dimension (UY 006LP) with Love Express. "Love Express" serves up a hard, feverish, ever-evolving style to all creatures of the night. Marius Maier aka Re.You introduces tribalistic drum structures, dramatic breakdowns, and a large bassline to "Love Express" with his remix. "No Compromise" speeds things up with frolicking basslines and a condensed atmosphere that provides relief through a few sparse, 'troity chords. Kevin McHugh aka Ambivalent weighs in with a straight and uncompromising techno remix of "No Compromise," based on a pounding drum set, spiraling midrange synths, and trippy, melodic rearrangements.

Formerly Tel Aviv-based DJ, producer, and Girl-Scout-leader Magit Cacoon joined with Upon.You in 2012 after relocating to Berlin and making some serious waves in the city's -- and Europe's -- club circuit. Since then, her vibrant sense of melodic thrills and her enchanting personality have produced a flawless amalgamation of stunning performances behind the decks, while her production and studio persona has created a unique signature sound directly derived from her experience as an air-miles-collecting DJ. She's come a long way from her 2011 debut Voyage 34 on her own Girl Scout label, via releases on Be As One Imprint and Whatpeopleplay, remixes for the UK outfit Porcupine Tree, and a string of groundbreaking releases on Upon.You Records. Her specific musical vision now fully unfolds on her full-length debut, Other Dimension, a seductive yet playful and surely spine-thrilling statement of a matured and fully-grown artistic mind. Written and produced in collaboration with Oliver Deutschmann, Other Dimension covers the whole spectrum of vibrant contemporary club music that, although closely bonded to the framework of house, tech-house, chromatic (neo) trance, and related 4/4-based derivatives, moves way beyond pure dancefloor functionality. Magit Cacoon's universal approach and vision is perhaps most apparent in her use of her most natural and intimate instrument: her own voice. From the carefully crafted ambient soundscapes of the epic intro tune "Plant M" to the overwhelming bass pleasure and cinematic melancholia of "Crime (Who's Afraid of Berlin)," the journey continues into the anthemic, late '80s Detroit chord progression of "Freedom Is Timeless," before "Love Express" works dancefloors uncompromisingly. Things speed up with the frolicking basslines and condensed atmosphere of "No Compromise," while the title-track once again proves Magit Cacoon's touch for long, epic build-ups, and sweet, melancholia-struck melodies, this time served on a slightly techier foundation. "Ghetto Xberg" fuses huge string arrangements and bleepy acid lines to a great effect while the subaquatic bass excursion "Oddity Sound" brings in Drexciyan qualities and vibes. More heavily trippin' bass pressure is found in "Light," which -- despite its title -- flirts with darker, more threatening powers while working sweat-soaked crowds to the max. The powerful, buzzing "Summertime Space" is as primetime-bound as its predecessor. Finally, with "Orion," the album's closing tune, things come full cycle again when slowly pounding low-frequency sounds and calm ambient soundscapes complement each other nicely, perfectly rounding off the full-length debut of an extraordinary artist.

In the early 2000s, Marco Resmann sent a demo to Martin Landsky and his label at the time, Intim Recordings. Landsky released the demo in 2002 as the Volkspark EP, a record that became the foundation for Resmann's career. Now Resmann and Landsky present their collaborative EP Lava, opening with "Lava 1," a pumping, deep technoid piece with seductive grooves only stripped-down house music can provide. "Lava 2" sports a dry, wild pitch and Chicago-related feel over twisting background noises. "Lava Dub" builds on a foundation of lush bass drums and rich, dreamy string arrangements accompanied by dubbed-out vocal snippets.

Pascal Hetzel returns after rockin' floors with his 2014 debut EP Feel That Beat (UYX 002EP). "Divisions (Downstairs)" relies on a significant bass-drum punch and a simple but effective arrangement of dubbed out, subaquatic stabs. "Divisions (Upstairs)" is softened and more uplifting, balanced on the thin line between tech house and classic stab-heavy house. Tuff City Kids (Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer) bow down to the intensity of early hardcore days with a jackhammer of a rework, a serious amalgamation of a reverb-heavy foundation, old school sawtooth signals, dark and slightly filtered signature stabs, and twisted breakbeat abuse.

The vinyl edit of Ruede Hagelstein's "Nonnenrauschen" is a precise epic built from a few very carefully placed elements that create a magical, mystical vibe. Marco Resmann's "Sun" brings hypnotic, repetitive stabs accompanied by beautifully progressing melodies and a stunning vocal break. Gorge's "In Sync" fuses an ever-changing synth motif with pure dancefloor pressure and rave vocal bits. The vinyl edit of Beatamines' "Lotus" features frolicking, slightly jazz-influenced percussion lines and a seductively meandering hook.

With "MP Scene" Onno and Okain open the set with a steadily pumping, muscular tune built around huge organic bass pulses, sharp, unprocessed hi-hats, serious, slightly twisted club techno stabs and captivating strings from the upper end of the acoustic spectrum. "Set Me Back" opens with large, pounding bass drums, clever shaker works, and a big heap of Onno's so-called gangsta-techno influence. "Tiebreaker" brings on a straight-forward feel of stripped-down tech-house with a foundation built from gravelly, analog-sounding bass tones and super-solid, effervescent, Latin house.

With the second serving in their underground sidekick UYX series, Upon You presents Pascal Hetzel. The title-track introduces Hetzel's love for all things jacking, focusing on raw, pretty, unprocessed percussion elements, loads of highly effective filter action for all lovers of the wildpitch era, and male vocals embracing the vibe of a top-notch night out. "The Brute 909" features heavily pumping drum patterns and hi-hats as sharp as knives. "Something Happens" is a dark and hypnotic tune, riding a totally stripped-down vibe before a truly epic break changes things rapidly. Classy strings and clubby stabs with an aura of polished chrome emerge, recalling a proper techno club feel.

Winter is almost over but Upon You decided to dip their label paint-brush deep into a pot filled with white. The painter is called Ruede Hagelstein and his work of art is simply called Minus -- a track with the charm of a winter landscape, fully accomplished, crystal-clear and warming, like an analog heater. Wearing almost nothing and cast into a snow-white plate, it will be a pleasure for all vinyl collectors. White vinyl. One-sided.

As promised: after The Cheapers successfully launched the Diary III compilation, here comes the best of it on vinyl. It wasn't easy to pick out four tracks out of 17 strong ones. Chris Wood & Meat have driven very fast into the ring with their track "Slow Down," and there's also the cuddle-house sound from Madmotormiquel on "Something Special." Magit Cacoon also screamed to be pressed onto black plastic with "Winds of My Mind." Last but not least, the record is completed with The Cheapers' "Memories."

Alland Byallo has made his name working as a DJ and producer in L.A. and San Francisco. His discography is widespread and is crowned by releases and remixes on Mood Music, Get Physical, BPitch Control, and Cocoon. He already released one track on the UY Diary No. 3 and now kicks out a whole EP. "Crepuscular" and "Blindsided" are two typical Byallo tracks. With their deepness, technoidicity and trippiness, they are a perfect fundament for two sporty remixes. UY artist Dave Aju constructs the mental A2 mix, and label-boss Marco Resmann drags "Blindsided" kicking and screaming through his amazing synth lab.

This Diary, an Upon You compilation, is the third of its kind and is presented as a retrospective. Featured are a collection of ancestral artists like Marco Resmann, ONNO, Magit Cacoon and Gunnar Stiller, as well as external ones like Chris Wood & Meat, Alland Byallo, Canson, Skinnerbox, Madmotormiquel and Ante Perry. Compiled by The Cheapers, who provided their track "Memories" for this project. The two have been collecting exclusive tracks from Upon You artists as well as friends to create an assembly that covers the colorful spectrum of Upon You: deep, classic, jiggly, thriving, crooked and sometimes a little poppy. In comparison to the parent Diarys, the two Cheapers tried to add a more personal note by not only including their worn-out passport photos on the cover but also utilizing the tracks in a delicious mix. What could be better than to consume a nice mix of 19 tracks on the couch while rummaging in a booklet designed with love? Whoever wants to hear the last track from Ruede Hagelstein And The Noblettes has to buy the CD because it is exclusive only here. Other artists include: Jules & Moss, Denis Horvat, Emerson Todd, Samuel Dan, Brian Cares, and Sierra Sam & Pascal Hetzel.

Besides the original -- a very unique "hardcore interpretation" from KiNK and a "home studio mix" by Hollis P. & Overnight, Luna City Express also breads one out.
