Estrella Run : White noise & purple voltage EP [TKBNET 31]

“Darker places, clicks & cuts, lovely sweeps….complex rhythms and deep straight arangments : Estrella Run ….subculture and underground, minimal, experimental sound culture.
Estrella Run are Richard Rule (Dezibiel) and Alesio Phareira, both old friends who are already involved in the very early years of the penchant for the electronic music and technology. Dezibiel, in the first years as a house and electro dj in the local scene was underway, looking for change and new possibilities in musical expression. Alesio Phareira already had his own drum&bass projects currently in operation and very straight minimal tech products. Basically, the words ‘glitches’, ‘clicks & cuts’ describe the Estrella Run style very well.”

Navy B. : North Soul EP [PHATT028]

Navy Blue is the man who creates slightly tribal sounds somewhere in the comfotable back of his home. This package contains the elements of that tribal, but funky progressive house. Great old-school rhythms of Polish production are doing here for what they were created. That dry groove smells not so distant to the ninetees and will certainly find audiences in every corner of the globe. Technically, these productions are suggested to enrich the cases of many DJs. Judge for yourself.”

Taron-Trekka : Burn Phisto Smeik [intoxik26]

Taron-Trekka are not only staffed at the Techno-Jena-Berlin axis. Musically, the two cities have left clear traces in their sound: very urban, dark, dubby minimal techno. The opening track ‘October’ captures it in its pure form. ‘Just A Testa’ is no less minimal or dubby. And ‘Atahary’ is very clearly darker acid stuff with psychedelic herb component.”

Sublime Porte : Red Apple Remixes [SP10]

“After Oblivion Garden’s more experimental ep, Sublime Porte houses a new dub techno cut with Red Apple, featuring a number of remixes in various styles.

The original track would work as a strong set opener, and is very logically put in first place : it’s dub tech action at its finest, with the usual mid-track break, great filter work and a keen sense of groove. Lush reverberated chords and a ghostly hihat-snare combo completes the picture. A very appropriate track for the summer.

Hakan Finn takes a radically different direction, with a broken dubstep-like rhythm, built around a stepping kick and beautiful nautical percussions. It is also more reduced than the original, and while the chords are recognizable, they are neatly wrapped around the kick drum for maximum effect.

Beto Narme goes even further into dubstep territory, with a remix that kicks in at a steady 136 bpm. His very percussive style is here matched with a lot of talent to warm house-alike pads and gritty chords to much effect. With it’s broken structure and great sense of rhythm, this is one remix that will work wonders in the club.

Taking a more submarine approach, with bubbly sounds and long reverbs, Subsky‘s remix sets a very relaxed, chilled out mood, despite the upbeat rhythm and very smart construction. Joined halfway by a beautiful Rhodes-like pattern, this remix is definitely the housier of the bunch.

Finally, the Flatliners remix takes the drum n’bass route, providing a very refreshing take on the original, bringing back a lot of memories of good old jungle records, mixed with the warm dub-like sensibility of the original track, keeping a very roots bassline and spring-reverbed chords layed over classy vocals. The most surprising track of the release for sure…”
