Arttu comes with his first single for 4lux. “Attic House” is a filthy club banger with heavy bassline and cut up vocal bits. Gerd re-arranges the track and adds more drama to the strings coming in halfway throughout the track. “Soul Stream” is a deeper Detroit-ish nugget with nostalgic feel. Yet again Arttu’s trademark of slamming beats & bass combined with cut-up vocals snippets profide for an insane jackin’ track. Last but not least Snuff Crew comes with a heavy re-work on “Attic House”.
Two producers on duty for Gerd’s Palm Leaves remixes. Sometimes an amazing track like Palm Leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. And this seems to be the perfect remix duo… Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers and Deetron. One for the body and one for the soul!
Clone Royal Oak continues its adventures in house music with Gerd. This is a rework of a track he did two year ago and somehow never finnished until now! Vocals are by Dr. Orion (aka OlivierDaysoul). On the flipside there is a stripped dub mix done by Serge & Tyrell
Gerd is delivering a massive chicago influenced track called H.O.U.S.E. featuring the voice of L.B. Bad, The Prince Of Dance Music. This track was originally penned in 1994 when Gerd had Elbee over to tour the Benelux. The track was released on an obscure limited edition white label only back then, but here a new rework of these old recordings. 2011 sees the track remixed by Gerd himself and he takes the tune into rough & uncompromising analogue territory with filthy synth bassline and relentless TR808 action. Jakob Korn, Arttu and Neville Watson are on remix duty and deliver some fresh remix that complete this record.
Release by Gerd on the Clone Basement Series with an old classic themed techno track he found on a dusty DAT tape while archiving some old recordings. Somehow a traditional techno track with metalic basslines, stellar string sounds and retro futuristic vocals with a classic theme… time & space. The original slower paced version did get an reshape/makeover that gives it a 2011 update that will be a standard record in the box for many! Remixers on duty are Rotterdam’s Duplex duo who are back in business and deliver two remixes.
Nicholas makes his debut on 4lux. “All Night Long” is an old school 90’s piano house nugget that also gets the remix touch by 4lux head honcho Gerd: early 90’s house influenced vibes. The flip contains “All I Need” and the slow paced house cut “Stay Together”.
Session Victim are back with yet more 21st century explorations into the thing we call house. It s been a busy 12 months for the German duo maintaining momentum by releasing some of the most inventive, warm, deep and soulful music on a host of vinyl orientated labels. “Million Dollar Feeling” comes with a remix from the Dutchman Gerd.
Deep, fluffy, romantic, introspective, dubby, ron trent tribute type house music, Ka§par style on Clone. Gerd comes with the remix.
New Clone! Literon returns! After his release on Frantic Flowers 2 years ago it has been silent… until now!
