Special Remarks: 180gr vinyl, stickered cover, 200 copies only
Tracklist:
A1 Salto (Original), A2 Salto (Moon B Bubblin' Mix), B1 Salto (Jex Opolis Remix)
Short info:
Frankfurt based producer, DJ and music lover Martin Heimann presents his debut single "Salto" on Carry On 008. Remaining faithful to its name, the small label puts out another piece of limited wax every once in a long while.
Enrooted in the soundscapes of 80s proto house the original version of "Salto" is a thriving piece of octave liberation. Consistent changes between harmonics break up the repetitive structure, while FM pads and the 303 are performing a little duet.
The release is ennobled by two proper remixes from Moon B (Peoples Potential Unlimited) and Jex Opolis (Good Timin'). While Moon B keeps it bubblin' with some extra analogue funk bounce and subtle Italo dance floor energy, the B-Side is Jexi-fied with some embellishment to the cords, change in the bassline and a nice 808 snap. On top Mr. Opolis adds some mysterious but cheesy vocals samples that match perfect with the moody 80s orchestral stabs.

There's something happening, it's in the air tonight… Chasing Kurt return to Carry On with a love injecting two track EP. While the original tracks 'In The Air' and 'Galaxy Hero' enthuse because of their emotional deepness, the revised vocal-less versions of Phillip Lauer and Deep Space Orchestra are nailing it down seductively on the dancefloor. The release will be available on limited coloured vinyl in September 2012. Chasing Kurt is a deep house project from Germany brought to life by the producer team Pascal Blanché and Wojtek Kutschke featuring the heartfelt lyrics of polish soul crooner Lukas Poloczek. Their debut single 'Daydream' on Carry On earned a lot of appreciating feedback in 2010 like Laurent Garnier's praise: "This is superb, such a lovely deepness." Their second single 'Money' on Good Ratio Music took them even further in 2011. The low slung, dark and exhorting track climbed to #12 of the Groove Magazin charts and was picked by standout producer Maya Jane Coles for her episode of the famous DJ Kicks series.

Never not working, Elef well deserved has become one of the closest watched talents in the deep house scene. Born half Greek / half supermodel the Berlin based producer has dropped some remarkable releases on Dirt Crew, Murmur and Hypercolour. In an act of reciprocal affection Elef and Carry On joined forces to create the lovely Nuff Said EP, soon to be available on limited coloured vinyl. The EP kicks off with "Black Hole" featuring Elef's signature melodramatic chord structure, some quirky percussion and a captivating Motown vocal sample. The incredible Gerd remix will end up in a lot of record cases - a dancefloor no brainer! On the flip "Nuff Said" incorporates an old school bassline with those beautiful emotional chords again. The ambitious UK trio Zoo Look strips it all back to what deep house really is nowadays - a groovy squarebass and atmospheric pads.

Here it comes, straight from the heart, the CARRY ON theme by the masters of all things House: MOTORCITYSOUL. The sanguine composition comes in two original versions, as each member of the well regarded production duo brings forth an individual approach on the topic. CARRY ON CRUISING delivers a fine, musical atmosphere that breathes the skills, talents and passion of trained jazz musician MATTHIAS VOGT, working the classic Juno 106 synth deep and lovely. Meanwhile, CARRY ON COWBOY takes you on a somewhat rougher ride. A little more dirt and grip, slight nuances of Chandler and Ferrer - and a most definite C-ROCK touch! A party starter for sure, already stashed in the saddlebags of Will Kane, Ben Cartwright, Fuzzy Jones, Butch Cassidy, Harmonica, Jesse James, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Making the release a sure shot three pointer, the remix by GOOD GUY MIKESH & FILBURT completes the package in an eclectic way. Merging proto disco elements with minimal deep house they manage to stretch the musical approach even further than the original versions.
