Continuing the trend of breaking new artists, Klasse Recordings returns with a fresh new EP from equally fresh new artists. FJAAK are a three-piece production and DJ outfit hailing from Berlin. Young and full of energy these newcomers turn in a stunningly original and well-crafted EP that is well beyond their years.

The Remember Me EP kicks off with its title track, an all analogue journey into a trippy underworld of arpeggio basslines and wonky pads. Robotic voices boldly repeat refrains whilst synths fight for space over a cantankerous groove. The track drops twice with great effect, making a great use of space and suspense.

Small Gadget heads towards darker territories, sitting somewhere in between House, Techno and UK Rhythms the track builds itself around a pulsing bassline. Minimal in its construction, Small Gadget's strength lies in its functionality and those spaces inbetween the sounds.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Clone Recordings regular Arttu to Klasse. The now Berlin-based Fin turns in two remixes for the Remember Me EP. Remix Number One is a blistering and fuzzy trip into the mind of Arttu and his synthetic friends, a detuned melody repeats over playful drum machine grooves whilst the original pads sit over the track. Remix Number One is available only on the KLS026 vinyl.

Second up for the remix team is American producer and WT Records owner Willie Burns, Mr. Burns' work has recently been showcased on L.I.E.S, Clone and Trilogy Tapes and we're very lucky to have him on board. Sounding like a long-forgotten Italo-Electro-EBM crossover hit, Willie Burns' re-works the arpeggios and vocals into a much darker and spookier direction....direct and straight to the point, the remix wastes no time getting stuck into the thick of it.

Played and suported by:Paul van Dyk, Richie Hawtin, Dave Clark, Torsten Kanzler, Dandi & Ugo, Dave the Drummer, Audio Injection, Drumcell, A.Paul,A-Brothers, Patrick DSP, Ryuji Takeuchi, Mark Eg, Hugo Paixao, Go Diva, Hefty, Stefano Infusino, Tex Rec, Luke Creed, Massimo and many more

Re-Washed LDT
Presse:

Das bisher bereits super erfolgreiche Digital Techno Label Rewashed LDT kommt hier mit seiner zweiten Vinyl. Dieses mal mit einem Track von Owner Sebastian Groth, zur zeit auch durch releases auf Elektrax,TK-R und ganz besonders seinem Album auf Italo Business in dem Playlist der größten Djs zu finden ist.

Der Titeltrack ist eine starke Techno Nummer die ein wenig ironisch mit den geres Gabber und house spielt, allerdings ohne dabei wirklich aus dem - 4 da floor'Peaktime techno raus zu kommen. Die remixes kommen von: Felix Bernhardt (AFU), dessen mix wie von ihm gewohnt verspielt freaky und mega groovig ist, Mike Maass (Trapetz)mit einem volle power Techno Feuerwerk,und dem Schweizer Duo Dublescore (Storm)bei denen man ihre viele Studio stunden mit Acts wie Dandi & Ugo oder Angy Kore raus hört.

After the succesful MLD Limited 02 now is the time for some remixes. On the A side, the Italian man of the moment, Hollen (Saved / Suara), makes a massive remix of "Open your mind" by his label partner Tony Dee. Coming up, the epic German duo Dole & Kom (Bondage / Acker) put their hands on Oscar Barila & Sergio Parrado "Trip to Rio" and turn it into an exquisite dubby and groovy tech house piece.

The B side starts with a wonderful South American taste. The Argentinean Ronan Portela (Mindshake / Bla Bla) remixes "Press" by the Chilean Aldo Cadiz. And the result of this perfect combo is nothing but a peaktime dancefloor monster. The ep finishes with a Pawas (Night Drive / Brise) rework of Arnaud Le Texier "Static". Mr Gupta goes still deeper than the original and puts the icing on the cake to another massive release.

Supported by Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Steve Lawler, Dubfire, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Cristian Varela, Butch, Martinez, Marko Nastic, Danilo Vigorito, Kaiserdisco, Djuma Soundsystem, Hermanez, Wehbba, Fabrizio Maurizi, Hector Romero, Gel Abril, Sascha Sonido, Alex Costa, Paul C, Mihai Popoviciou, Beatamines and many many more!

We are delighted to welcome our Londoner friend John Monkman for our first vinyl release. John Monkman delivers some serious quality deep house vibes for his debut release on Kote.. This Ep raises his game with three tracks taking in funky basslines, deep-house vibes and inventive, smooth flowing arrangements.
John Monkman's record kicks off with the anthemic 'K.I.S.S. M.E. feat. Morgan Mackintosh'. An uncharacteristically uplifting track that combines a freestyle bassline with gated 80's drum sounds and amazing vocals by Morgan Mackintosh...
B1 Jessica is a very special track, the descending organ riff, almost an acid house motif gives it an anthemic quality. The 'You and Me' vocal offers just as much hook as it needs to be.
B2 is a late night sleaze for the well-tuned dancefloor or the perfect track to help the crowd find its footing during the opening hour. The entire seven minutes ooze with polished future-house bass and the tracks being championed by top tier talent worldwide. Disco lasers and vocal snippets douse the track with a modern sheen we've heard in works from seasoned house vets, but John Monkman concoct his own chart-topping take on his debut.

After a long wait Slowpitch proudly returns with the third vinyl of its imprint, the label once again demonstrates great skills in collecting new collaborations and for being a good platform for emerging artists.
Mass Digital and Curly Project have provided this new 4 tracks Ep which includes also two great remix from Denis Yahsin and Mirco Violi, the result is a quality deep house and house pack that signs definitely an important step forward into the path of this label and its artists.

Rob Duke is back on the field with several new weapons to spin out !! Three original track and one featuring with Noon. This new Ep represents a nice form of the fusion between House and Tech house. A great journey into a deep addictive groove surrounded by fat bass line and surprising organic sound. Enjoy the ride !!

OFF046 - Tiger Stripes:

Known since years due to countless hits on labels like Get Physical, Noir or Toolroom, Tiger Stripes presents his debut on OFF Recordings.

The original of "Bright Lights" is a dark underground pop affair, perfect to spice up your set with a serious dose of sleaziness...

Andre Crom turns the theme into a more upbeat version, well suited to create some peaktime excitement.

OFF047 - Tapesh & Dayne S:

Known as DJ since ages, recently Tapesh made himself a name as collaborator on a big number of successful productions as well. For their OFF debut, he teams up with DAYNE S, whose production mastership already shone on their collabs for Noir and Jeudi.

The result of their work is exactly the kind of infectious club banger that you know and love from OFF: a massive bassline, an anthemic vocal and and original steel bells hookline will sweeten the last days of winter with a glimpse of summer.

Or, to put it in the words of a (female) OFF fan after hearing this track: When i listen to this, i already smell the BBQ and see my friends dancing in their Bikinis on the beach... ;)

The 2nd track of the EP, "Hear Me" features a similar cutting-edge sounddesign, but in a deeper and darker mood, perfect for moody sets and the later hours...

Sweat, also known as perspiration, transpiration or diaphoresis, is a product of mixing H2O with various solid chemicals such as chlorides and is mainly produced by glands located in the skin of mammals. It consists further of chemicals such as 2-methylphenol (o-cresol) and 4-methylphenol (p-cresol), as well as a small amount of urea. The sweat works as a thermoregulating mechanism, cooling the body from dangerous overheating, wich could result in body malfunction. It has also been reported that components inside the male perspiration would aslo work as a so called "chick-magnet". Sweat can be found in a wide variety of mammals, all though it is shown that only humans and horses produce large amounts of this chemical soup as a part of its cooling system and primarly by glands under the armpits.

Studies has shown that men start their perspiration faster than women when exercising under the same relative intensity. If this proves the theory that men use their sweat as a tool for luring women into their bedrooms is yet to be shown. Speaking against the theory, would be the fact that most sweaty men smells bad. When sweat occurs, the bacteria residing on the skin, feeds of the chemicals and as a biproduct, a smelly odor is produced. Keeping in mind that sweat also is produced during states of nervousness, it is implied that sweaty dancing men fearing an embarrasing defeat after a displaying their shortcommings as part of the mating rituals, still enjoys a better chance of intercourse if the target female is exposed to the sweat odor. No study showed if the same case stands true for homosexuals.

Folklore und erschafft damit eine Art Nachmittagspop, dem man sich einfach nicht entziehen kann. (..)"
