Russ Gabriel for Mobilee: The Fall Guy

Aug 13, 2008

mob040

 

  In three short years, Mobilee hasn’t only built out one hell of a roster; it has nurtured its expanding lineup into something resembling a family. It’s easy to feel proud after putting together a crew like this. But this time it’s our turn to be humble, as we welcome a true techno veteran to the fold: Russ Gabriel. Russ almost certainly needs no introduction: since 1993, he and his Ferox label have helped define the sound of UK techno, merging elements from Detroit and Chicago into a sound that stands confidently on its own. Russ had been quiet

Love's Duel with Wagon Repair - Hrdvsion with a fantastic shot!

Aug 11, 2008

hrdvsion3

 

 

Hrdvsion’s second Wagon Repair release this year is an absolute epic. Combining his signature fervid IDM style with a patient developmental sensibility commonly associated with his brother Mathew, Canadian Nathan Jonson offers two new tracks as accomplished and mature as anything he has produced to date. Opener ‘Love’s Duel (The Seduction Business)’ is a slowly approaching storm, weaving melodies from disparate melodic tones and waves of rhythmic synth. Stuttering percussive blasts and a phased bass pulse steady the voyage as static

Jul 31, 2008
pfrcdltd001


Clé and Mike Vamp better known as Märtini Brös.give us 19 tracks of unreleased, restored, remixed, exclusive mad material, called The MB Factor. Following to their massive recent Love Parade/MTV gig , this exclusive piece hits the stores and it turns out to be a really outstanding one to have.
As two of the illest producers and longtime Poker Flat family members, they set a new standard of so called “Best Of”-outputs, making the big resell-concepts look oh so lame. Looking at the tracklisting you will notice that this isn’t just a regularRead the whole story

Dapayk Solo — “Devil´s House (cd)” on MO´S FERRY PRODUCTIONS

Alland Byallo (Liebe Detail): “Devil's House is right! Sinister, dark, twisted and borderline sounds. I love all of Niklas' productions, and this is no exception. I'm really enjoying "Right here with me" the most, but the whole thing is a gem. Bring on the darkness!”

Butane (Alphahouse): “Butane (Alphahouse) Simply huge. Niklas continues to show his incredible range with this new album. At times it's angry, at times it's quirky, at times it's serious. It's always Dapayk. I love it.”

Damien Lazarus (crosstown rebe: “ I'm loving this album; especially "A saw attacks", massive on the dancefloor Charted "A saw attacks" #5 in September 2008”

Debug (GER): “Frage? Wie finden wir heraus aus Minimal? Antwort: Darkness. Besser. Böse werden. Techno wieder aufleben lassen. Das neue Album von Dapayk kickt schon vom ersten Moment an so mächtig, dass man sich wie von einem Orchester umgeblasen fühlt. Und dabei lässt er nichts an Gemeinheiten aus. Sägezahn, Bässe die noch in den Fusspitzen kribbeln und mächtig schrubbernde Gemeinheiten aus Funk. Und wenn er dann wirklich nicht mehr kann wirken die wenigen Pausen der Erholung gleich drei mal so deep. "Devil's House", trotz gelegentlich eckiger Beats, dürfte Dapayk zu einem so sicheren Killer auf dem Dancefloor machen, dass man bereit ist doch wieder die Technokeule aus dem Keller zu holen. Blubbern, das war gestern. (Bleed)”

DMC Update Sound Judgements: “ There's a sinister undertow to Dapayk's latest album which takes the current breaks fixation of cooking up the ugliest riffs possible while stamping his own personality on its voluminous posterior. Tracks like 'Scratch The Surface' thankfully go beyond the safe saminess of this aren't-we-naughty breaks fad and throw up real montrous heaves from Satan's bowels. Elsewhere there's minimal scrunching on 'A Saw Attacks' and the deep 'Child Of The Night' 'Niro' nods at dubstep. The closing 'Skit' and 'A Wave That Leads You Home' sequence work in ambience showing that the man's got a wide electronic palette, currently being used to scare and challenge.(Kris Needs)”

freshguide BERLIN: “So klingt also des Teufels Haus... Recht ranzig knattert so eine Art Basslinie gleich zu Beginn aus den Boxen - und man weiß, woher der Titel seinen Namen hat. Die befremdlichen Vocals bringen es dann noch mal ausformuliert auf den Punkt. Soviel zum Teufel. Der House-Aspekt spiegelt sich vor allem in einem Soundsample aus frühen Tagen wider, wie man es zu UK-Hardcore bzw. Jungle-Zeiten auf diversen Ragga-Trips hörte. B-seitig wird erst einmal minimal über 4/4 "losgeplöckelt", wobei das Beatmuster im Verlauf angenehm aufgelockert wird. Angenehm unangenehm bratzt kurze Zeit später der Sägezahn aus den Boxen - und alles ist gut. (fhp)”

Groove Mag (GER): “Devil's House verweist schon im Titel auf seine düstere Attitüde. Mit 808-Teppich und herrischen Leads erschließt Dapayk düstere Landschaften und wildert am Wegesrand in Newschool-Electro- und Industrial-Gefilden. Karge Gegenden, in denen sich Minimal- und Wave-Freunde gleichermaßen wohl fühlen. Sogar tot gesagte Genres wie 2Step erfahren in Tracks wie "How low" oder "Niro" eine überraschende Revitalisierung. Die Lust am Break-Beat wohnt jedem Titel inne, die beherrscht sind von mächtigen Effektparametern. Bis auf die Vocals in "Right here with me" lässt sich kaum ein Quäntchen Pop ausmachen, das man bei Dapayk vielleicht erwartet hätte. Devil's House ist insgesamt geprägt von Minimalismus. "Minimal" im Sinne von reduziert zu sein - und nicht als öde Begriffsverlegenheit. (TH)”

Jeff Milligan (Cynosure): “I'm diggin' Dapayk's "How low". Pitched down vocals aren't usually my bag but i like the steppy little beats and subs. Lookin' forward to droppin' it.”

Jeremy Caulfield (Dumb Unit): “ I'm a huge Dapayk fan but i was much more into the Marek Bois album (which i play all the time) .. but "HOW LOW" is nasty and great !! so along with other goodies this album is still hot!”

Resident Advisor NET: “Producer Niklas Worgt, AKA Dapayk Solo, will release his fifth album in September. Worgt, whose career began in the mid-'90s in the fledgling German drum 'n' bass and breakbeat scene, has worked under a variety of aliases, but Dapayk Solo has been one of his steadiest gigs of late, aside from his quirky collaborative project with Eva Padberg and his minimal-styled tracks under the name Marek Bois. Devil's House, the new record which will see release in September, hearkens back to his original inspiration, taking what he claims are "breakbeat-like rhythm[s], captivating lead sounds and tinkered sound structures without losing [its] focus [on] the dancefloor." To prove its dancefloor potential, Worgt will be hitting the live circuit in Europe throughout October and November. > ”

Subculture NAB (GER): “Vor kurzem hatten wir noch die Vorab-Single besprochen, jetzt folgt das bravouröse zweite Studio-Album. Dapayks neues Solowerk hört auf den Namen „Devil’s House“. Hier sind im Gegensatz zu “Impulsion Parasite” die Beats weniger abstrakt, dafür etwas breakiger und brandaktuell. Auch eine neue Straightness in den überaus voluminösen Sounds lässt sich nicht überhören. Aber keine Angst, die Dapayk-typischen Sounds finden sich genau so wieder wie auch kräftig in die Mangel genommene Vocals. „Devils House“ ist somit ein Album, das nicht nur auf die Tanzfläche schielt, sondern wie es sich heute für einen guten Longplayer gehört, auch dem Homelistener eine Reise auf der Achterbahn der Gefühle beschert. Ein Album, das sowohl produktionstechnisch sowie vom Aufbau her keine Wünsche offen lässt und auch nach mehrmaligem Hören stehts neue Details entdecken lässt.”
