Repress!

After an amazing debut 12inch for Slices Of Life in April 2012, we are happy to announce a follow up EP of BAAZ with three massive and rolling house pieces. „Swimmer“ on the A-side comes right in time for the 2013´s summer season with it´s strong driving beats and drifting chords that awake your lust to run through high summer grass. „Can´t Take It Away“ (B1) is a warm sounding bundle of energy with weird vocal samples and light footed percussions that fit perfectly on a cosy dancefloor. „Chummy“, the 2nd track on the B side, starts with a very dry and simple 4/4 bassdrum + snare figure before building up into a driving dubby disco piece carried by a nicely filtered loop and Baaz´s typical open high hats. The Berlin based Baaz stays true to his unique style of producing house music and again convinces with pure and powerful beat structures, warm basslines, clear strings and floating chords, from which it is difficult to tear oneself away.

Repress!
The third release on SLICES OF LIFE comes from the Berlin vinyl DJ and producer BAAZ, who has been gaining steady growing attention by House Music lovers and DJ's. He is the reason that Daniel Bell reactivated his Elevate label to release a BAAZ 12inch in 2008. This ep and the releases on Agnes' label STHML Audio opened up the door for very productive collaborations with other labels and dj's. The 3 tracks on SLICES OF LIFE show Baaz's focus on deep pure and simple House grooves that roll on massively, and work perefectly without using obvious effects and frills. The A side "Judy's Bass" clearly reveals Baaz's love of fat bassdrums and basslines in combination with classic drum machine and percussion elements while the stringline carries you away endlessly. With "Jeally" on B1 Baaz delves even deeper into percussion programming and creates a perfect deep track for the late hours. Carbon Hair (B2) shows the dubby and darker side of Baaz: a very dub techno influenced house track that is especially driven by warm beats and open high hats. More

Two deep and driving house tunes by BAAZ! Since the release of his last SOL 12inch „Swimmer“ (SOL5) quite a bit has happened: Baaz founded his own successful label Office Recordings, he has also created a new moniker for his Dub techno productions as "Eric Miller". His love of dubby sounds and echo chambers can be experienced in „The Reason“ and „Ancestor´s Fun“, although it´s obvious that Baaz also stays true to his Deep House roots. He skillfully combines spacial structures with his characteristic driving beats and organic sounds. "The Reason" is a grooving light footed tune with a jumping bassline and develops, step by step, this driving energy, that will not let you go. "Ancestor´s Fun" brings up the energy level with stronger beats and open high hats, but the playful warm sounds and drifting strings keeps the wonderful flow that we love to hear from Baaz´s productions.
