Pele & Townston - Requiem For Three Cellos

Pele and Townston are two unknown names till this days. Maybe this release will punch this two German producers to success, they sure deserve it! This Ep was totally produced to fulfill the dancefloor needs with two nice club tracks very groovy and very funky! "The Who" has a strong cool rhythm able to pass you great positive energies. This is a track to dance, to jump, to smile, never forgetting the rough minimal attitude always present in our blog! "Requiem For Three Cellos" in the b side gets more darker and less funkier making it a music that we usually like around here. Build step by step, it drives you through a strong beat and very nice synths till it gains sense... and when it does it just doesn't stop! This music goes getting better and better each seconds it passes, the bassline is insane and the dark vibes are built perfectly... it's surelly a music to be in the charts of many Dj's. A last advice, listen this more than once, cause everytime you listen it you get more enjoyable feelings. If you buy the digital version you'll get a bonus track called "Beside Myself", it's not as good as the others but, as always, it's worth to be listened.

Truss & Donor - Perception Ep

Today's choice is calmer than the normal stuff i post here. Truss & Donor are respectively Tom Russel - a British guy making his 2nd release - and Greg Schappert - American producer that has been living in all the great towns of this musical movement - and made a very good first impression with this great Ep released on Dumb-Unit (their first of 2008). "Foreseen" opens the hosts in a great way with it's dry beat and a few acid elements here and there marking what might be the best music of the all Ep. Don't expect hard things here, this is the most pure deep minimal that can be made, that normally Dumb-Unit uses to support. In the B-Side you have the remix by Sarah Goldfarb of "Foreseen" making it even deeper adapting it to be a master track in the dancefloors. The subtleness of the original was not forgotten by Sarah and she made, in fact, a real good job keeping the feeling of the original in it but making it more trendy. About the rest of the Ep all that i can say to you is that both tracks keep it with very low synths and always with nice variances of beat and snares. "Forethought" is those kinds of step by step productions very well accomplished and "Unseen" is another deep piece of music, very good beat, nice bassline and always with an excellent selection of sounds that fit perfectly in the music. Nice one!

Gregor Tresher - Break New Soil

Break New Soil is, without any doubts, the best Ep i listened this week - and they have been plenty enough. Gregor Tresher is not new in the scene, he has been doing quite a good work since 2004 that has been mostly released on Datapunk and Great Stuff Rec. This time it was Moon Harbour Recordings who bet in the German producer. I advice you to listen this one carefully cause it's really great stuff. In the A side you can listen the original of "Break New Soil", a track that seems being recycled over and over with lots of clean breaks and great entrances after it. Perfect construction, clean minimal, a hit here in mnmland! And, if the a side it's good, wait untill you listen the b one. Daniel Stefanik turned the music into a perfect deep minimal pierce of art. I can already imagine this one being played in the early hours of the morning with the sun appearing around. It's a seductive music, great bass line over the beat and keeping the breaks that i talked about off the original one. Don't miss this one people, Gregor Tresher telling you how it's done!

Joseph Capriati - Farlocco Ep

Joseph Capriati is a 20 year old producer based in Italy. I was very surprised when i realized he was so young, he's music is very mature and powerful and i never could guess that he is only in the beginning of the career. Anyway, his latest work was released on Frankie records. For the people that don't know this label i will tell you that they normally bet on wicked and productions with some neurotic and disturbed grooves. And this is what the Ep is all about..."Farlocco", the first track of the ep might the best one, that suits to our kind of preference. "Highest tower" and "Para Scaramantia" are two shaky musics and completely adapted to the labels stuff. Both are suitable to be thrown to the dancefloors in the early hours of the night . So, i alert you, this is not a bomb Ep but it's a quite listenable release and this way I got a chance to present you with another nice release of Frankie's French label.
