Amanda Fears : Black Teeth [lala005]

Amanda Fears, Exile, US minor outlying islands:

Following a nervous breakdown, Amanda takes up the job of music teacher in the small village of Haddaby. There she can benefit from the tranquillity and peace, enabling her to recover fully. But under the facade of idyllic country life she slowly unearths the frightening reality of village life in which the inhabitants are followers of a menacing satanic cult with the power to inflict indiscriminate evil and death if crossed.
Under mentioned difficult circumstances she was able to express herself and with a catch she bundled everything within this EP – ‘Wake up with a bassline’ whatever is after you. We don’t know if she still walks between us…”

Patrick Zigon : Hobson‘s Choice EP [BIOS_006]

“The Biotop Label celebrates the spring awakening with the first solo EP of Patrick Zigon.

After the release of his album The Alpha State and numerous eps & remixes on labels such as Highgrade, Cocoon, Kompakt etc., the Biotop Label-head took a small re-creative release-break. Completely focused on the buildup of the Biotop Label profile, Patrick only released collaboration-EPs with Gabriel Creole & Till Krüger and a few remixes on his own label, with exception of ‘The End My Friend’ which was released in January on the Etui Records Wintercamp Compilation and gained big support from the ‘Godfather of Techno’ Juan Atkins.

Finally he‘s back with the Hobson‘s Choice EP. While the last Biotop-Releases were more experimental, Patrick‘s new EP is what you can call a proper Dance-Floor 3-Tracker.

‘Swaption’ is a typical Zigon track. Moody pads and Detroit style synths spread the mysterious vibes. Glitchy vocal-snippets and twisted rides completing the spooky and techy attitude of this track. It sounds like Patrick dreamed a lot about the upcoming summer-season while he produced ‘Vita‘s Wood’. It developes with shakin’ percussions, dubby chords and deep filtered pads, until the break unveils the classy house- organ…and the crowd begins to smile! ‘Nooning’ is an extensive hypnotizing sound-journey, filled with a huge sub-bassline, broken bassdrums and melancholic synth-layers.”
