Hamburg’s Achim Maerz arrives on DBA with an expansive twelve track package. Split across a 12″ ep and a cassette, ‘Experiments’ is a collection of live, improvised house jams recorded in the summer of 2015 in the artist’s home studio. The title refers to the fast and rough recording of the material, with the aim of catching a mood before process and self-awareness take over.
Achim Maerz makes his debut on Fine Art with a 5 track EP release. Tracks that are upbeat & summerish with a classic groove! Early Chicago influences are obvious, but Achim added a nice contemporary touch.
Almost one year after the first release Dérive Schallplatten releases the second record. That’s quite a long time. But however, haste makes waste and even more when it’s about some passionate drifters! Expect some bittersweet melodies with deeply grounded melancholia, vigorous beats and acidic bassline’s.
The debut release on Freund Der Familie Raw has been handed to the unknown Achim Maerz whose only track to date appeared last year on the equally solitary release from the Dérive Schallplatten label. The limelight certainly doesn’t show any weaknesses in his armour. “Channel 04” is driving, edgy and totally catchy dance floor dub techno.
