Apoll – Family three – Morris Audio Citysport Edition 16 | |
Tongut's boss André Pollmann aka Apoll appears one more time on this other Swiss structure with three groovy, grating minimal house tracks using also some micro-samples. Special mention to "Child" (B2) which is more pumpin' and bringing a sweet & deep atmosphere. Really nice. www.morrisaudio.com Ludo, 29/11/2004

Cosmic Sandwich - Ham - My best friend Ltd. 02 | |
Under this strange alias is hidden Steve Barnes, best known under the name Process for his releases on Traum and Trapez labels. Just one side for this EP, a very simple groovy and sexy warm track. Just imagine a rumbling bass, some really eighties synth chords and vocals samples with abusive delay powered by a straight and powerful beat, you can get a kind of nice digital disco. Really good!

Realistic - Infernal Machine (Chris Liebing mix) - Vandit 042 | |
The original version is a typical euro trance Ibiza-type track, I won't waste my time describing it. What interests us is Chris Liebing's remix which blends the original sounds with his famous rhythm arrangement and usually long breakdown. Unexpectedly, this combination sounds excellent! Definitely worth having. www.vandit.com Lesha, 22/11/2004

Jonas Bering – Diva – Defrag 05 | |
After a remix done on the first EP of this Neapolitan label, the French producer is back on Defrag with two longplayers which can be ranked between deep techno and minimal house. His friend Bern is also contributing to this release with a remix which follows perfectly the two previous tracks, in a more progressive way and with so much delicacy and class. An excellent EP.

After having released some tracks as solo project on the Geneva based label Plak Records, Chaton & Hopen started to work together and to play as live-act some months ago. "An Area", the A-side longplayer is a good example to see how they are complementary: we find techno & minimal influences by Chaton and sound experimentations by Hopen.

Before his forthcoming album "The Television Saga" (M/A 37), Dash Dude presents "The Radio Diet" in its original version but also in three other versions brought by Cruz, Jeff Samuel and Hakan Lidbo.
