Bobby Marleni : Fresh Jive [MNF010]

“Monophonic presents the first release of M.A.L.A under his alias Bobby Marleni. This fictional character pleases with his taste for infectious grooves marinated in classic house. He produced four tracks that go in different directions towards the dance music. Sounds enriched with samples, sequencers and some other acoustic instruments are pointing to a bright vintage sound.”

Tomzn : Tibet EP [schm008]

Tomzn is a young upcoming German producer, who´s breaking the edges between the electronic
genres without looking back at usual standards. Grewing up in the far east of saxonia, germany,
he became infected with the passion for electronic dance music. Next to tentativ steps in djing
with the age of 17, he started to produce his first simple loop-tracks without loosing the joy of djing
with the black gold. Tomzn constantly increased his production-skills with permanent looking for new sounds and rhythms without devoting to one kind of style.”

Barren Waste : The Dead [self released]

Barren Waste came together in late January of 2011 in response to an unimaginative local metal scene. All four members wanted to make something exciting and have so far done just that. Genre conventions were dropped. Instead the songs dictated where the songs would go. Not only are the usual elements of Death, Black, Thrash, Grindcore, and Hardcore used, but they are coupled with noise, classic rock, and free jazz influences. This chaotic, free-form sound paired with their intense live show make Barren Waste worth checking out” (ReverbNation).

Idealist : Defective Units [brq81]

“Being an idealist is noble and deserves endorsement. That is exactly the belief of our Zurich-based artist Bernhard Gietz (better known as ‘Berni’), who releases wonderful tracks in between dub techno and house under this moniker (Idealist) since a few years on labels such as Deep In Dub or Dreiton. His latest release on Broque, the Defective Units EP, is dedicated to the little flaws, imperfections and surprises one has to face when working with analogue devices such as the ones from the Roland TB family. What leads us to another one of Berni’s big and longstanding passions: Acid. However, Berni’s tracks are far from culminating into wild 303-infernos, but embed acid lines in a very elegant manner into floating dub techno grooves. While some tracks lean more towards their Basic Channel roots, others embrace warm Detroit techno soul, but they always manage to nonchalantly close the gap between contemporary club standards and the retrospective view into dub techno history. In between these explorations, Idealist also sneaked in ‘Bad Times’, a true hymn made of deep after hour nu-disco sounds together with heartwarming and shyly filtered hooklines, which provides the perfect soundtrack for welcoming the sunrise after a good night out. Who would have thought that the courage to embracing imperfectionism could lead to such a perfect release?”
