The Den Haag label, Bakk presents it’s closing release. This concluding compilation contains a selection of the many artists that took part on the label, from the first demo until the last drop of ink printed. 11 years, 11 tracks. xoxo
Arising from the outskirts of Brussel is Noord Halle, a young and promising source of hard to beat fast paced electro tracks. Jefre EP might be his debut, but the support is steady already with the B side delivering two truly unique remixes by BAKK regulars Antenna and Haron.
Antenna broadcasts new exciting sounds to the ether, channelling a banging A side and two deep cuts on the flip. The message is clear; a beautiful 90’s inspired release with artwork to prove it. Ready to dismantle the floor and sooth you into the abyss. Brought to you by the BAKK Satellite Service.
Jeremiah R leads the Tour with his brand new Cosmic Cycles EP including four tracks to crank up any record bag. Whether you prefer a lighter tread or a heavier gear, this thought out selection of warmth and deepness honors the electro tradition. It comes in a screen printed inner sleeve designed by the BAKK Peloton.
BAKK kicks off a new series of records with Plafond 1 made for drowning in the deep end of the pool. Legowelt, SFV Acid and Haron provide you with an eery collection of ambient harmonies and melodic rhythms best served when lying on the floor, gazing in to the abyss.
Haron comes home with his District Iron EP including some heavy remix work by Jeremiah R. This platter is loaded with low, an ace dance floor destroyer, yet smooth and playful. Sparks start flying and neurons start frying.
Those familiar with the Strange Life label operated by Danny Wolfers will know it’s rife with CDr material worthy of the vinyl format. Whilst our personal favourite (the bizarre Portopia by Wolfers alias Satomi Taniyama) remains looked over by labels, Berceuse Heroique were responsible for a quite sumptuous double LP edition of Smackos album The Age Of Candy Candy earlier this year. Now local Den Haag crew BAKK have got their hands on 2004 Strange Life album Dark Days for an equally classy triple LP edition. Wolfers fans not familiar with this album will immediately fall in love with Dark Days, thanks to the signature blend of goofy track titles (“Lego Resistance”, “An Obnoxious Affair On Tape”) and music that veers from soaring, synth vistas to grotty techno via cold, primitive electronics and more.
BAKK presents a new 12inch by Legowelt from the darkness of the Scheveningse Pier. Hypnotic swirling synths, moisty hi-hats and dirty kicks welcome you to the Laundromat Of Your Mind. An EP with both dark peak time techno and beautifully orchestrated symphonies. A four tracker bound to get your stuff clean or to leave the club filthy at the end of the night.
From the Rotterdam harbors come the deep and deviant electronic voyages of Jeremiah R. Electro in classic detroit fashion, oozing with Westcoast gravy. An EP crafted for night to dawn, for the floor and the mental cruise. Cop it and drop it! All with mind-bending screen printed inner sleeve by the BAKK Decency Department.
The Hague based BAKK Records with a split EP by MGUN (Manuel Gonzales) and Halvtrak. Detroit local MGUN already proved to be one of the more talented new producers and this time delivers a true trunk full of funk. The laser sword synths whip through the big space of the roomy kicks and the snare hits the nail on the head, a guaranteed floor filler. Crossing the Atlantic towards Finland / Helsinki, Halvtrak shares a journey into his forming yet already signature sound. A smooth sailing analog track with trippy acid sounds – a perfect fit for both those during peak time as the early morning racers.
