Mobilee Back To Back Remixes, Part I & II

Mobilee Back to Back lovers looking to take a lick from the ladle of Miss Jools’ upcoming Back to Back Vol. 3 compilation CD are in store for some extra flavor stirred in from vol. 3 remix artists, Nick Curly and Efdemin (mobilee 048) and D´Julz and Christian Burkhardt (mobilee 049). This 4 amazing producers deliver some of the most refined mnml u can have! Massive production, unmissable to all our readers

Nick Curly of 8Bit and Cécille Records boldly pulls the background beats of “Diva” forward, creating an explosion of cheerful melody. A central figure of the Mannheim sound, Curly has a knack for fresh releases and trippy sound. The B-side of this teaser welcomes Efdemin remixing „Moved feat. Prosumer“, a track softly bringing deeper, loungy house melodies into swing. While some artists only go skin deep, Efdemin goes deeper with a sense of detail and abstractness. Both artists have finely remixed the cream of the crop of Sebo K’s best releases. ”Diva” (mobilee043) received widespread acclaim from a variety of publications, placing in Resident Advisor’s ”Top 30 tracks of 2008,’ in Mixmag at 25, Beatportal at four and in Beatport as the eighth ranking house track of the year. “Moved feat. Prosumer” was placed at number 14 in De:Bug back in 2006. The carefully hand-picked Sebo K tracks are just an exclusive teaser for what’s in store for the entire CD (Mobilee Back to Back Vol. 3)

Mobilee#048
Rls Date: 16.02.2009


D’Julz of Ovum, Pokerflat and Intacto Records remixed GummiHz’s 2007 one-of-kind release and turned it into nothing short of a dance floor phenomenon. Of course, nothing less could be expected from a man who has been around the world and back since 1992 playing in the most legendary clubs before the most legendary scensters. D’Julz certainly has the qualification and experience of what it takes to make a party a paaarty!
Christian Burkhardt of Oslo, raum…musik and Remote Area Records took one of Anja Schneider’s more mellow and somber tunes from her spooky Beyond the Valley album, which ranked third in the charts of Groove Magazine, and give it a powerful face lift. The hard baseline and repetitive foot-stomping beat is exactly the kind of techno flair that Burkhardt embodies in his music.

Caie and Lagora - Porcelan Ep

Caie “Lars Pärschke” and John Lagora “Tim Wucherpfennig” got together in 2008 to take off in the year 2009. They conjoin House with Techno and customize it to their own style. They are still young producers but already present very nice quality. Both are still working fervently on new mixtures to bring the crowds of the whole world to dance. Furthermore one can be anxious for their new,intended live act,which will be presented soon.
Porcelain Ep has been released a couple of days and can be considered their best performance till now. They shine off with two very good tracks and a fabulous rework by SIS. “Miss Wonderfull” goes a bit housy, but I can see Dj’s like Villalobos playing this at some open air partys. “Breakdown” is quite a good one, more adaptable to our standars, with it’s groovy rude beat and some perfect neurotic elements in the back. But when SIS gets his hands into it, it comes completely different. A 15 minutes SIS remix! Amazing! Smashed the Ibiza floors this year… it has all you can beg for in music, it transmits such feelings in such subtle moments, and the rhythm was not forgotten, neither the beat! Perfect one… reminds me a lot Luciano past productions. It’s an unbelievable track that all of you should know (and buy). Release nr 10 by Material Series..

Masomenos - Matou Ep

The duo are back in the game. Masomenos present Matou Ep to delight all of you. If you don’t know this unknown project from France you should be ashamed of yourself. This guys are the revolution, everything they do seems to be magnificent and this is another example of their fine deliverance. To raise the bets higher they invited another amazing producers to remix the first track, they are Kreon & Lemos, the Greek duo, one of the best things that happened in the scene during 2008. Matou Ep is filled with 3 tracks, all of them in the cutting edge of minimal techno.
I’ll start with the last cause that’s my favorite one… “One Inch a Day” has got a vocal that we all known ( i don’t remember from where…) and a rude dry beat that makes everything else look obsolete… it’s surely the purest thing i listened during January… i can’t get tired of it! The beat, omg the beat! Unmissable. “Hands Up” remixed by Masomenos, Kreon and Lemos is the track that opens up the Ep and it’s also a very nice one, lot’s of pumpy energy and the typical Kreon & Lemos deep beat, perfect to enhance the groove among the dancefloor. “NY” follows through the same paths! … The major key of this album and the reason why i’m posting this here is “One Inch A Day”, the track of the year so far! Release nr7 on Welcome to Masomenos..

a1 - Hands Up (Masomenos & Kreon & Lemos)
b1 - NY

Max Cooper - Harmonisch Serie

After a brief passing by through Firefly Recordings or Autistc Records, labels where this guy showed us some value as a producer, Max Cooper launches on Traum this fine record, all of it interconnected by some nostalgic harmonies, as the name of the Ep already mentions it. “Harmonish Series” is the main attraction of this work, the track is very well built, step by step with a very danceable rhythm,a powerful bass line and off course, a clear melody as I didn’t listened for a long time The remix of "Harmonisch Series" was in charge of Kanio, focusing more on the rhythmic development of the track, adding some clues to the nostalgic tune we heard in A side. In the b side there’s a more notorious Techno-house, for lovers of techno with clean breaks. "I (long version)" is the second track on the B side, with a tone to remind you that this is the Christmas season, and in rhythmic and constructive terms based on “Harmonisch Serie”. The digital version brings two more tracks, the first is "Compact Yourself" and the second a remix produced by Ito. I strongly recommend this disc to finish the year in beauty, great job made by this highly known label to close 2008.
