Presales Week -1281

Part 2 of the series of 3 EPs unraveling unreleased classic House tracks by Stefan Goldmann.
Victoriaville continues it's research into Stefan Goldmann's sweet back catalogue with a triple vinyl series of never before released House material. Revisiting the years 2000 - 2005, "Emptying The Vaults" highlights the era of Stefan Goldmann's "UK years." Often his actual releases with Classic, Ovum and Front Room reflected just a part of the possible. Now Victoriaville proudly steps in to let the whole thing shine. Restored from the original master tapes and cut by D&M's Rashad, here's some startling evidence of how deep the roots of House actually were in Berlin years before the still ongoing hype set in. "Ghost Revisited" and "Crack It" build on lush house grooves, while "Heatwave" leans to the dub side of things. Enjoy and look out for part 3!

One of the leading figures in the modern house and techno movement, Patrick Chardronnet returns to Audiomatique with another surefire weapon for the summer.
'Pleasant Day' is perfect for the open air season, yet contrary to what its title suggests, it's a dark, funky and freaky tune that carries many trademarks of the Audiomatique sound. Liquid synths and acidic bass fused with modern drums are all precision engineered to the super high quality level you'd expect from Chardronnet.
The lush and divinely deep 'Aim' takes us further into the sound capabilities of this seasoned studio hand. Fluttering, tropical moods soar through colourful layers of dubbed synth textures and strong, surging bass.
Tracklisting:
A. Pleasant Day
B. Aim

Studio Barnhus (the young swedish label done by Axel Boman and 2 studio friends) is bringing some hot forward-thinking dancetracks that will create this special energy on any dancefloor. Two powerful tracks and a more dreamy electronic piece that somehow remind of some Border Community releases. Intense and effective release. Check!!

In Denmark, there rages a lively and experimental techno scene - and it’s not only a recent phenomenon. The best proof are Phono and Kemi, two Danish imports to the Berlin record label, Highgrade Records. The two chaps complement each other in a musically virtuoso fashion: Phono,
Jacob Thiessen, spent his childhood playing around with sequencers and drum machines: Over the years he has stuck to this passion and as such, has developed a reputation as an experienced house and techno producer. Kim Kemi, by contrast, has been a DJ since the beginning, and since
the 90s has been one of the key figures in the Copenhagen club scene. Together they have not only performed regularly at the biggest events in Denmark’s capital, but have also ensured through their many releases, ever changing accents and atmospheres on the turntables.
This wealth of combined musical experience can be heard instantly on their latest outing for Highgrade – “Decompression“. The three tracks, “Decompression”, “Exterminators” and “Last Night” assemble rhythms that come from punk, elegant voices and dizzying loops a multi-layered sound excursion. The result is a perfectly produced EP, but one that has not been ironed smooth. With the “Made in Denmark” seal of quality, Phono and Kemi bring some extra depth to the party attitude.

Scoring the soundtrack of a new electronic frontier, the young New Yorker named artist to watch of 2011 by Mixmag and DJ Mag, M A N I K delivers a prototype debut album ‘Armies of The Night’ for Josh Wink’s Ovum Recordings. *As the trend for stateside dance music continues to take hold, NYC born and bred M A N I K propels it further forward with a sublimely original album. Stitched together by Ovum creator, Josh Wink, ‘Armies...’ is a continuous ebb of energy that continues to surprise as it gains momentum. *Inspired by his surroundings in New York City as well as the 1979 cult classic film, ‘The Warriors’ M A N I K portrays the raw urban grittiness of the city and mimics the picture’s rendering of the underground gang world. Track titles such as ‘We’re From Coney’, ‘City Kids’ and ‘Don’t Stop Don’t Run’ as well as frequent samples hint at this arcane theme. *Touching on a slow and seductive take on house music that fellow Americans Soul Clap, Nicolas Jaar and Wolf + Lamb have brought to the forefront of consciousness, but elevating it to new plains fusing jacking beats, acid funk basslines, and creative hip-hop sampling techniques, M A N I K carves his own niche sound through ‘Armies Of The Night’.* A diverse collection that ripples across generations, ‘Armies Of The Night’ reaches into the glamorous world of disco in ‘Nightfall’, taps into classic jacking house for ‘Ruckus 8OH8’, plays with urban flavours for ‘Haterville’ (made specifically for the Haters) and ‘Another Day’ and dives in to the eerie futuristic plains of techno in ‘Don’t Stop Don’t Run’, all the while maintaining an intoxicating nocturnal spirit.*Interspersed with playful interludes featuring M A N I K’s peers and influences, this musical voyage continually involves the listener in an interactive story of how it came to be. The result is an album that matures with each listen, apt for every situation and a true reflection of M A N I K’s pure and honest musical philosophy.
