Zurich, Switzerland. It's ad.lib & silvision again. It's not often that a debut release gets as much attention and support as 'Collide' did exactly one year ago. It was played by artists like Chris Liebing, Tommy Four Seven or Samuel L. Session. In the meantime ad.lib & silvision established themself in the international techno scene with outstanding releases on labels like BCR, Gynoid Audio or De:Konstrukt.

Now they're back on Affin with the "Sins EP" containing two originals and remixes by Label Owner Joachim Spieth and Raffael Attanasio (Non Series, Envlp). The first original "Greed" is generating a lot of drive and a hypnotic quality off a rich array of fx and a never ending mad arrangement of synth stabs. "Envy" is hitting even harder with off kicks, some nervous hihats and a mad definition of space. both originals have this dense yet warm low end which became part of ad.lib & silvisions signature sound. Raffaele Attanasio adds his personal flavor with some dry and dusty layered kicks and a crazy repetition

A few times later, when he reached the year of 15, he played his first gigs in local clubs together with well known DJs like Oliver Koletzki, Thomas Schumacher and Tocadisco.

Kevin doesnt commit himself to one music style. He always tries to keep it different. Some of his own productions go a way more deeper and reduced ,other are more rough and targeted at the peak time to reach a wild movement on the floors. In the mid of the year 2008 Kevins track "Talk to Me" has caught the attention of the famous DJ Duo Peace Division who signed it for their last contribution to the famous Mix-Series called "Coast2Coast"on NRK Music.

unexpected cool french stuff. limited 100 vinyls !!!

Is it possible to combine dark and lovely atmospheres The answer is: PARADOX! Once again Superstrobe joined extreme opposites. Let the groove be the proof and convince yourself - you'll be amazed!

A | Paradox
A creepy and gloomy baseline guides you into a tunnel where darkness seems to swallow you. You're getting deeper and deeper into a black hole... And when you start to slowly fade away a lovely melody from somewhere above leads you back into the light.

This interaction of good and evil, oppression and redemption, light and darkness creates an incredible atmosphere - like the quiet before the storm rolls in after a muggy summer day.

B | Hypnotized
Uncompromised Superstrobe remains to the structure and the dramaturgy of his earlier work. As in his club hit "Strip Down" (PRZ010) a constantly modulating line runs through the whole track. With a dark and heavy bassline as the foundation "Hypnotize" invites you on an endless journey with a happy ending. Have a a nice trip!

finally available, the first release of the hot rhein-main-area (frankfurt) newcomer djane & producer. playlist: sascha krohn , vera, matt k, gregor tresher and many more. limited 500 copies !!!

Arnaud Le Texier cut his teeth managing music shops and building a huge collection of records during the nineties. His vast knowledge of the house and techno scenes led him to establish two widely acclaimed underground labels: Atcha, along with British dj James Warren, and Kailash. In 2005, he founded Safari Electronique, a more personal and experimental imprint that focuses on minimalistic sounds and sensual dance-floor oriented grooves. Since moving to London, Arnaud has been playing at some of the most famous clubs of the English capital such as T-Bar, Kubicle, Secret Sundaze and, most importantly, Fabric, where he held some memorable parties for his label. This ep sees the France born producer coming back to Aloe Records with an impressive and utterly elegant set of tracks: "Global Swift"'s deep, warm chords strum along emotional vocals and a rolling bass line, while "Recharges"' delicate pad melodies and intricate and subtle vocal snippets welcome loopy filtered trippy and mesmerizing synth stabs, 909 rim shots and a slightly off-beat sounding clap. "Platinum" is lively, boasting yet more 909 craziness and a mind altering ebullient spectral arpeggio, underlined by a chugging kick drum: a straightforward banger, this one shows Arnaud's harder and uncompromising side. The release closes off with "Digital Waves", where the monolithic bass is matched by a steady progression: a chemical feeling made human by the tune's lolloping sense of propulsion.

limited re-stock of this overdrive classic !!!

WIDTH is a 4-track compilation containing with label head Joachim Spieth, Urbano, Chemie & Mattias Fridell

Awesome debut EP from Argentinian Ezequiel Esley. Great feedback from Martin Eyerer, Mathias Kaden, Hrdvision, Ronald Christoph, Electric Indigo and more. Incl. the killer track "Illusions".
We say welcome and are pleased to present the debut record of the Argentinian Ezequiel Esley allowed to. Esley had already set in its cooperation with Sweet'N'Candy an unmistakable sign, then shows us the young man from Cordoba now arise which can, if you are in the Argentine heat creeps into a garage and unreachable for weeks exploring their own sound universe. And thus certified Mathias Kaden him the "typical Argentine Madness, " but also "produces super nice ... great !!!!" and Zuckerman speaks of "darkly dreaming Minimal-Techno which comes in a modernly sleek yet deeply pushing sound design" Meanwhile Lebensfreude-label boss Gunne only shakes his thinning hair. Headbanging like old times. But decide yourself .. et voilá ... the curtain on Señor Ezequiel Esley!
