Release Info:
Diego Krause’s Unison Wax return this June with a new four-tracker from the man
himself, coming in the shape of ‘Bring The Noise’.
Berlin’s Diego Krause launched the Unison Wax imprint in 2014 as a platform for his
own material, the Beste Modus co-founder has since gone on to release an impressive
back catalogue of music on the likes of Berg Audio, Apollonia, Pleasure Zone and
Sukhumvit amongst others, a testament to the quality embodied in his output. Here
though, Diego makes a welcome return to his own Unison Wax, again showcasing his
slick and percussive-led take on contemporary house.
Opening the package is ‘Bring The Noise’ with billowing chords, filter-swept vocal
murmurs and Diego’s signature swinging drums. ‘Phenomena’ follows and tips the
focus over to loosely flowing natural percussion, rounded low-end pulsations and
sporadic dub stabs to create a heads down, hypnotic groove.
‘The Company You Keep’ opens the B-Side, taking a more stripped-back approach with
shuffled, crunchy drums and murky bass stabs before ‘Lost Tribe’ completes the
package, fusing spellbinding percussive modulations and fluttering synth swells with a
sturdy, organic rhythm to keep things moving.

Having seen the first two releases on his self-run Unison Wax label win plaudits from critics and contemporaries alike, Berlin’s Diego Krause starts 2015 with a fresh EP of deep and textured house music. A1 opens the EP in style, its deep sunken bassline and clamouring percussion underpinning intoxicatingly woozy chords and a soulful vocal sample. Demonstrating Diego’s ability to pen strong groove-led house tracks, it exemplifies the headsdown vibes that we’ve come to expect from him. The breaks-orientated A2 offers up a new dimension to Krause’s production skills. Here, sharp drum breaks punch out a funk-tipped rhythm accompanied by a sweetened melody. If A2 reveals Krause’s hip-hop roots, then B1 evokes the producer’s schooling in New York and New Jersey deep house. A chopped up vocal samples loops over terse drums, a warm sub-bass and a Fender Rhodes sounding chord hook. The emergence of a nebulous piano refrain completes the package, making for a track that is both soulful and playful. B2 closes the EP in style. Tumbling hi-hats and reverb-licked bass patterns are joined by a wistful melody that finds Krause exploring the emotive juxtaposition between up-tempo and down-tempo sounds. The result is a subterranean house jam that will fan the white-hot embers of a 6am dance- floor. With 2014 having seen the Berliner tipped as a big name in the making, Unison Wax 03 offers up four tracks set to add to that momentum propelling Diego Krause further onwards and upwards.
