ABYSS REWORKED
There comes the time, when you encounter something so great, you throw your principles overboard just to live up to it. So here you go with the first UNDERtheGROUND record where we simply couldn't hide the source. It's our first non-white label. And we are happy to break our own rules for this astonishing techno hymn: Abyss' by Mathias Schaffhäuser, and its remix by Patrick Zigon.
Abyss' is this one-of-a-kind combination of a straight groove and a strong voice that create nothing less but melancholic fireworks. But that's not all. On the B-side, there's a remix waiting, which takes this pure sound masterpiece to the next level. In his Dub Salvation remix, Patrick Zigon preserves the signature elements of the track and wraps them in a perfect sound atmosphere, adding some more drive and volume without cluttering its amazing core.
MATHIAS SCHAFFHÄUSER
For sure, many people know him for Hey little girl', his club hit from 2001 as well as from his label WARE which he started in 1997 and which has released various contemporary electronic music artists in their very early days, such as Benjamin Brunn, And.id, Dominik Eulberg and Audio Werner. However, lately Mathias Schaffhäuser has been very creative releasing dozens of new productions such as the debut EP of PAWAS & SCHAFFHÄUSER on Compost Black Label featuring a collab with Gregor Schwellenbach, his 4th remix compilation called "RE:4 - Selected Remixes Vol. 4" on BluFin Records, a debut on the
Biotop Label, another vinyl EP on OPAK Records and of course two new productions on Snork Enterprises - just to mention a few.
Besides being a busy label manager and producer, he is specially known for his smashing remixes, which he has made for Pan-Pot, Dapayk & Padberg, Northern Lite, Luomo and many other widely known artists. Outside the studio, his live acts are always an extraordinary blast, or as he describes it: I mean, who squeezes techno and house tradition, spontaneous vocal performances, crude cover versions and melodica solos into a one-hour set without constantly staring at a computer screen
