Break SL - Trombone - 06-May-07 09:21 AM
Absolutely gorgeous debut release by Break SL. A simple, rugged beat structure in the style of Detroit hotshot Omar S, provides the basis for the main track Trombone. With its skewed stabs the track just goes & goes until a melancholic piano riff sets in and releases the tension. No need for special tricks or fancy edits here - this is truly a timeless track which gives much hope for the future of this young producer.
For me, one of the best records of 2007, no doubt.
A Rocket In Dub - Rocket No. 5 - 02-May-07 05:42 PM
Beautiful record from the always consistent Stefan Schwander aka Antonelli Electr. Here recording under the "A Rocket in Dub" moniker, he presents two elegant house tracks with very effective use of a ultra simple trombone riff on "Rocket no. 5". Both tracks both suited for home-listening as well as being very DJ-friendly. Highly recommended.
Thomas Brinkmann - Anna / Beate - 01-May-07 07:18 AM
The first record in Thomas Brinkmanns female series and maybe the most radical minimalistic of them, before the term became a trend. The four tracks consists of not more than record surface noise, a dry thud of a bassdrum and atmospheric background noises. Only "beate 2" has some sort of a melodic riff.
This was initially received as too dry and academic, and got lumped in within the glitchy, arty field of click and cuts music at the time. Although there are some referencs to the musique concrete school of sound art, this record should be judged within the framework of techno and house music, though (and was supposedly planned to be released on Wolfgang Voigts groundbreaking, but anti-"intelligent techno", techno label Profan Records).
The deliberate scratches on the record are clearly visible making this a truely "audiovisual" piece of art (and a legitimate reason to avoid experiencing this in a purely digital format). And remember: Scratches on this record only makes it better!

Solid techno/house release. All four tracks have character and panache, but maybe mostly "Frozencity" with its slightly melancholic feel and stubborn beat. Recommended!
Andreas Fragel - Katalog - 16-Sep-06 03:26 PM
Very understated and nuanced album by Andreas Fragel, who sadly do not release much. This album is apparently in the hypnotic minimal techno tradition, but soon achieve a life of its own. Through some kind of antiquated or rarely heard synths, the overall sound keeps balancing some odd place between superficiality and depth.
If youre getting tired of what usually are marketed as "deep" or "subtle" in the market of disposable tech-house 12-inches, you might want to check this out instead.
