Alessandro Crimi & Patrick Zigon : Order Of Priority EP [BIOS_007]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on July 12, 2013

“The Biotop Label celebrates the first anniversary with a beautiful collabo-EP of Alessandro Crimi and label-head Patrick Zigon.

Exactly one year ago the Biotop Label released its first EP. The Various Artists EP Lebewesen, including tracks of Paulo Olarte, Alessandro Crimi & Patrick Zigon. 5 more and more experimental releases were following. Now it’s about time to get back to the starting point of the label-history, and to drop some deep emotional Dub-Techno.

Patrick Zigon likes to collaborate with creative guys, which he has proven again and again on previous Biotop-EPs and his 2011 album The Alpha State. This time he has teamed up with the swiss Grandseigneur of Dub-Techno. Alessandro Crimi gained a lot of attention with his trademark-productions for Sthlm Audio, Polytone and his freshly launched label Waehlscheibe. Alessandro and Patrick had some inspiring days at the Traumraum Studio at Lake Constance and developed what they call Caribbean Dub-Techno. Deep and hypnotic chords, shaking woods & percussions, all topped off with a caribbean and melancholic mood.

They invited another Biotop-key-artist for a proper remix-treatment. Fortunately Gabriel Creole has caribbean roots. The rhythm-master adds his typical percussions and mellow pads to the original track.”

Erich Schall : Distant Twirl [bsc_035]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on July 9, 2013

“Lush ambient dub techno producer Erich Schall delivers his second outstanding EP, Distant Twirl for basic_sounds. Schall, who also creates music under the pseudonym Alberto Buitony has appeared on Cologne based netlabel, Der Kleine Grüne Würfel, RotRaum Music and Gleichtakt Records.

The self-titled opening track is a deep, meditative, spacey-dub track guided by pensive trance-like pulses and eerie alien sound effects. ‘Voxtrap’ is propelled forward by a steady 4/4 beat, integrating melodic spiraling chords and light cotton-coated synth pads for the ultimate airy dub journey. Closing track, ‘Nachtfahrt’ is an infectious upbeat immersive dub groove incorporating echoing cords, distant crackles, panning effects and uplifting vocal samples. Ultimately altering perception through repetition while demonstrating his masterful finely honed studio instincts. Brilliant.”

Lars Leonhard : Three Monkeys [DN 028]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on July 8, 2013

“The first monkey, i.e. song, moves in a world full of mysterious sounds, meditative and suspenseful at the same time. The heartbeat of the animal gets increasingly faster at the end. The second monkey takes this message and moves feathery to the beat. Finally, the third merges into the increasing rhythms.”

Various Artists : Futur[e]cho 2013 [CFM048]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on July 7, 2013

“After two years of releases in the Futur[e]cho series, the series returns once again with its longest release yet. Getting somewhat away from the goal of the series, pairing lesser known artists with bigger names in the scene, last years release got away from that. This years release has a bunch of artists you’ve probably not heard of that need to be heard along with some bigger talent you’ve already heard of. This years release also instills more Ambient Techno than Dub Techno, but there is a good mix of both styles on the release. This year’s release features several of the artists that have appeared on both releases, returning artists from the very first release in the series along with new faces. The series strives to get people who might be interested in either Dub Techno or Ambient Techno into both. Enjoy the sonic soundscapes that encompass what is Futur[e]cho 2013.”

Reu-Ven : Micro-Bios EP [GEO014]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on July 6, 2013

“Everything is reduced to a minimum, at least what we say mathematics.  This minimal expression around us in the form of life. Ones hidden from our eyes but not nonexistent.  Dark beings that can produce dire consequences both in the human organism as giving us life.  Beings that share our existence, our life, our emotions and our passions.”
