August 25, 2015August 25, 2015 hipodromedeep techno, detroit techno, sandhuLeave a comment

This is the inaugural release from the Berlin based Sandhu. The ‘Undefined Revolution’ vinyl series will solely feature compositions created with hardware, recorded live and unedited. Volume 1 comprises the first four of these very organically produced tracks. Ranging from experimental electronica through to a tougher Techno palette, the EP’s A-side starts with the fluid ‘Girtab’ with its laid-back break and sci-fi edge, before ‘Lesath’ heads into deeper realms with ominous sounding synthwork and an infectious groove. The B-side shows the tougher Techno face of Sandhu. ‘Shaula’ is a perfect DJ tool with heaps of energy for those restless dancefloors, while ‘Sargas’ completes the quartet with its choppy beats and latin-tinged rhythms.

Eduardo De La Calle is back with his debut album and it comes through the young Badance label. The Intellinet Prophecy is a techno album with audible influences of jazz and the supremely scientific, where tracks like “Call From Beyond” or “Faith Necessary” go way beyond the dancefloor and land somewhere in outer space, a place on which genres don’t seem to exist and the passage of time is swamped in beats and melodies.

A NASA satellite has confirmed the ancestral tradition of the -music of the spheres-, that celestial bodies emit harmonic sounds. Although the music of the spheres has led first to the notion of universal harmony and then symmetry, it has now been discovered that the Sun s atmosphere actually emits ultrasonic sounds and interprets a score formed by waves that are about 300 times more severe than tones that can be captured the human ear. This time, ORBE represents these sounds.

The first installment of 12″ EP from “Exhibitionist 2” DVD+CD due out in September 2015. In Jeff’s words: “Expanding the art forms in Dance Music has always been an agenda that needs constant monitoring because it has the ability to evolve and develop each and every idea. At angles that are not easy to see or understanding for most of the listening and dancing audiences, I’ve always felt that Dance music would make more sense to the people if they were allowed chances to understand how the music is being programmed and made – to witness this process from beginning.”

ABSTRACT DIVISION - Metropolis EP

To Abstract Division, the city of Detroit and its artists are a major source of inspiration. As such, they decided their newest Metropolis EP was to be a homage, a means of giving back. This special package includes an original track that keeps close to the spirit of melodic, rhythmic, minimalism Detroit is known for. It also features three very special remixes by close friends Oscar Mulero – under his Trolley Route alias – Function, who ups the darker ante and Marcel Fengler who infuses it with his trademark Berlin funk.
