Murat Tepeli – Drop It Like It’s Hot EP [POTION001]

Potion is a new Deep House label from Berlin pair Prosumer and Murat Tepeli which naturally promises much on the basis of their collective production experiences and discographies. Presented as a platform for music from both it’s founders as well as some of their closest contemporaries, the debut drop of Potion comes from Tepeli and features a trio of acid-inspired cuts. Opener “P.S.A (Play Stop Acid) is the killer, with loose percussion, Syclops style bass and rough 303 lines riding a rock-solid, jackin’ groove. “Just A Modulation” is decidedly deeper and slower, with dub techno textures joining spacey acid lines. Finally, “A Wave Is A Wave” pits pots-and-pans percussions against rave-inspired electronics in devastation fashion.

Murat Tepeli – In The Mood For… [PHP059]

Philpot presents a solo release by Murat Tepeli. The style feels right at home on the label, not least on the tumbledown beats and rubbery sub bass of “Mastika”. There’s a definite Berlin weight behind the monstrous kick on “Clifetelli” which sounds primed for Panoramabar, but it’s not all fist-pumping brawn as “Good” proves. Displaced flurries of drums appear occasionally, but really this track is all about the haunting melodic refrain.

ava. is a new label, probably a new Giegling sublabel. The first EP contains four deep house grooves with a Detroit feeling. One original track from Damiano von Erckert and one collaboration with Funkycan. Christopher Rau also participates with one cut and Murat Tepeli provides a remix for Damiano.
