VA – Purple [UV050-3]

This is the second to last UV050 compilation records. Purple kicks off with Krakow’s Chino, who shows us how to balance perfectly between straightforward urgency and mystic playfulness. His acidic “Forbidden Voices” sports just the right amount of chaos to make you go crazy on the dancefloor. Berliner Johannes Albert brings his debut releases on Uncanny Valley with his “Vision Utopia”, a subtle House bomb, that pushes just the right buttons to trigger your desire to escape into cosmos. Also from Berlin comes Lake People, who does what he does best with “Roaming The Streets”. A subtle and razor-sharp track that points out that good dance music can sweeten your life everywhere, not only in the club. Finally, RVDS, one of Hamburg’s finest, blesses us with “Moon Operator”, a deep and masterful dive into sonic sceneries.

A Sagittariun – Oxidize [NT007]

After his exciting album ‘Elasticity’ on his own imprint Elastic Dreams, A Sagittariun delivers the equally fascinating three track Oxidize EP’ for german label Couldn’t Care More. While ‘Heights’ is a stripped-down basic-channelish techno ride, rough, edgy and with a hint of hypnotic melodies, the title track heads in a quite different direction: still it’s raw expressionistic techno, but the flow is ever-changing, mesmerizingly shifting and twisting between hissing beats and enlightened synths. For the remix of ‘Oxidize’ Golden Pudel Club resident and odd-house virtuoso RVDS fires up the acid machine and does it Detroit style, warm and cold, uplifting and melancholic.

RVDS – Moments [ITS005]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS415520-01A-MED.jpg

This is the first full-length album on the It’s label for Germany’s Richard von der Schulenburg aka RVDS. It’s deep, acid, fragile, party, lonely, and special. Inspired by classic deep and acid house, old instruments such as the TR-808, Roland JP-6, Wurlitzer E-Piano and some others are combined with new accents, but always with a special bent towards Detroit music.
