Holger Zilske - The Birds & Bees

Holger Zilske it's one of Smash TV elements, but it's alone that comes to demonstrate his value by the known Playhouse. A vinyl wich are included two tracks full of minimalism and gathered by the bass that is common on Zilkse productions. "The Birds" it's an excelent minimal for the finest ocasion with it's constant rythm but always very penetrating, and than the toy elements on Zilske music, making us remind the fine musics produced by the birds. "The Bees" it's my favorite, it has that smooth and special touch that demands you to listen the music for 10 times in a row minimum. A beat that is greatly deep and very well stepped and the three sinthesized chords marking the difference. Very good work of this german fellow, showing us what are Playhouse wishes about minimal music, using an unique kind of style.

Benno Blome - Rumburack

The big man from sender, and one of my top5 producers is back in great shape making a awesome Ep. Benno Blome, resident in one of the biggest clubs in Berlin presents “Red Tuna & Rumbarack”, two tracks that will delight all of you that like it deep, minimal and smooth!. This magnetic Ep sticks to you like glue with two tracks created to full fill your every need. Red Tuna is my favorite, it as several weird chords behind a full minimal techno pattern. I can’t get tired of it, all the little sounds that you listen in this music seem to create a special environment, that the most of producers can’t. The old school style from Benno Blome is somehow unique and different. In the A side you can also have a sense of what his music is all about. This calm relaxed music goes through more dark entrances with a step by step growth. The founder of Sender show’s how it’s supposed to be done. No mistakes, quality of production, special style and understanding of the scene. He is in fact a single producer, listen some of his sets and you will know why. I like the way he moves.

Remote - Hardstick Ep

Already Signed to Yvan Smagghe's label - Kill the Dj Recordings - Remote are one of the most skilled producers in France. I came to this conclusion when i listened "Hardstick Ep". It's one of the nicest things that passed around here in this month. A very stylish electro stuff never forgetting the minimal part. This ep is filled by 3 nice tracks made to all kinds of taste. The first one - "Hardstick - goes darker and deeper with a powerfull beat in an intensive and trippy environment and clearly is the one who most adapts to our blog's requirements concerned to music. You will love it madly! Ghost, second of the a-side forgets the techy stuff and clearly goes through acid patterns leaving you a small taste of what Detroit acid scene was all about. It's nice to the early hours of the night! Finally the "La Horse remix" was made to be played by guys like Tiga, Damian Lazarus and that kind of reputed Djs. It's a curious and somehow different Ep, take a look of the best that French production has to offer.

Claro Intelecto - Warehouse Sessions V

It's time to present to you the "Warehouse Sessions", a collection of releases that couldn't be forgotten here in minimaland. So here it is, Session nrº5, the final one, maybe the most brilliant too. Mark Stewart aka Claro Intelecto is the guy behind this fantastic project that involves all kind of production, since deep house to minimal techy stuff. "Hunt You Down" in the a-side is a very functional track, nice bass line, step by step construction and some real clean sounds to be enjoyed in this 10 minute length deep music. "Momento" gets more cynical with a more robust techno pattern. Nice kickdrum and a great metallic snare in a dark stylish track. I heard that Raresh was playing this one, it's really his style and the best track of the Ep. Like the previous 4 editions, it was released by Modern Love and I advice you to listen all of the 5 Eps. This is music that only some of the great Ones can produce. Take a look at it and see how you adapt!
