Spektre - Recykled 1 (RSPKT019)

Spektre have unleashed a massive three-part remix package of their previous works, entitled the Recykled Project.

The first installment is a smasher featuring two familiar heavyweights, Phunk Investigation and Sasha Carassi.

Phunk Investigation have taken on the remix of "Kraken" and have given it the full treatment. As usual, the track comes complete with frantic percussion and rabid bass, making the mix instantly recognizable.

Sasha Carassi has remixed "Tesseract" and it's a darker and deeper approach, compared to the original. Cleverly utilizing the main riff while adding his own layers and rhythmic trickery, he has definitely taken the track to a whole new level.

Stay tuned for the next two parts of the Recykled Project series with more surprise remixers!

Robert Babicz - Pink Trees (BED96)

With a music career already spanning nearly two decades, comprising five albums and multiple singles, some could think that Robert Babicz would be ready to settle down for a quiet life, however, nothing could be further from the truth. He continues to reveal his talent and skill as one of Europe's most essential techno producers with every release.

Having released his first single on a UK label since November 1990 when his ‘Welcome To The 90’s’ track featured as part of the recent Bedrock 12 album project, he now returns with a brand-new totally essential double-header to round off what has been a year of superb releases for John Digweed’s Bedrock label.

From his techno output as Rob Acid in the early ‘90s to his stunning productions of today, Robert Babicz has always been a much revered and highly talented figure in the German electronic scene. As the trend for cool, melodic tech exploded in recent years with Booka Shade and the like, Babicz has found himself an increasingly sought-after force. Thanks to Joris Voorn’s stunning remix of his track Dark Flower in 2008, and his own attention to detail, love of strong melody and skill with a sexy groove, it’s hardly surprising that he is at the top of his game. Tie all this together with unrivalled skill and production techniques, an astonishingly well-trained mastering ear, and an ability to bridge the gaps between funk, groove, audio experimentation and atmosphere, and you have a master at work.

Straight out of Cologne in 1993, under the pseudonym Rob Acid, Babicz released his first single ‘Happy Answer’ on London Records, which unexpectedly became a huge club hit. With the rise of acid house influenced records dominating the charts, Babicz was able to ride high on this new wave of club culture. In addition to becoming an in demand live performer using one of his other name, Acid Warrior, Babicz started to release singles on high profile imprints like Kompakt, Treibstoff and Steve Bug’s Audiomatique, as well as his own label, Junkfood.

In what he appropriately dubs “the rave years” in the mid-nineties, Babicz was already playing all over the world. During this time he teamed up with Mate Galic and psychedelic sonic experiences of every kind followed, which Babicz says came as a result of “excessive sound-research and absurd parties… transistor radio and porn films on big screen”. His affiliation with Force Inc a few years later brought a series of more experimental, less dancefloor-orientated works, which suggested his theoretical musique concrete roots.

By the turn of the new millennium, Babicz was striving for a different sound and thus began a new label, Shortcut. At the same time, he received multiple requests for sound design from hard and software producers, most notably resulting in the presets he produced for Native Instruments. In 2007 Robert released his landmark record, ‘A Cheerful Temper’, on Systematic Recordings, which expertly moved between electronica, techno, minimal and classic house.

Playing ‘live’ has always been a key feature of Babicz’s authentic musicianship; improvising instead of reeling off pre-determined sets has made his celebrated shows unquestionably unique events. He consistently delivers astonishing performances of his own productions built around warm melodies, blissed-out atmospherics & analogue bass - sometimes jacking, but mostly tripping and always around the foundations of his first love: techno. Consequently, Babicz has more than proven his worth in the world of dance music and his right to the title of pioneer and innovator, whether producing tech house, minimal or acid techno.

On/Off - Ambush EP (ESD025)

ON/OFF are a newly formed production pairing from the Netherlands. This exciting duo come together as a dynamic live act whose sound can simply be described as dance floor minded, throbbing techno music. Influenced and inspired by legends such as Dave Clarke, Carl Cox and Chris Liebing.

Ambush has been a staple of Alan Fitzpatrick’s sets since he got it and its easy to see why. Built around a huge wobbly chord progression, this is a genuine peak-time mind-melter that is certain of a huge reaction every time.

Sticky Fingers goes the other way, stripping things back to a scratchy mechanical groove to create a dark contrast to lighter shades brought by bubbling harmonics, melodic stabs and a host of whirring background effects.

Embliss - Back To Mine (ANJDEE091D)

An inviting, intricately layered progressive gem, ‘Back To Mine’ is the latest work from upcoming Dutch producer Tim Brandwijk aka Embliss.

Beginning with waves of deceptively laidback grooves and hypnotic progressive textures, ‘Back To Mine’ lulls you in before springing into life with bouncy melody twists that reach a deep crescendo in the breakdown. An impressive and accomplished label debut, ‘Back To Mine’ feels like the work of the most experienced of producers.

On the remix, mysterious Finnish artist Michael Cassette adds a quirky, wriggling electronic bass groove and brightens up the melodies with his trademark 80s shades. Unique, eccentric, intensely groovy and perfectly produced, it is everything you’ve come to expect from Michael Cassette after his impressive debut album ‘Temporarity’.

Will Dukster feat. Solncè - Im Reaching (Part One) [INFRAP025]

TATW support!

Since appearing on our Infrasonic-Sessions radio show some months ago, Myon & Shane 54's sublime remix has continued to cause a stir with mail arriving on a daily basis demanding a release date. The talented duo have continued where they left off in 2009 with another action packed year picking up various accolades along the way, and generally taking the world by storm. They join the Infrasonic team with their long awaited debut, and do so in style with another mix of epic proportions!

The original mix is the brainchild of up and coming Italian producer Will Duskter, a name you will be hearing alot more from this year. Again the beautiful vocal work from Solncè is there for all to see, with the lush pad work and summer style lead adding some real depth, taking the mix skyward.

Man of the moment Mike Danis completes the package. After a successful run of releases which have picked up huge support along the way, the talented Hungarian shows once again why we hold him in such high regard with arguably his best work to date - Powerful stuff indeed!

Part two comes courtesy of mixes from Solis & Walsh & McAuley.
