Short info:
It's time for an overdue reunion as a long time friend makes a return to the Upon.You family with a new vinyl exclusive single these days. And of course we're talking about the Belgium-born Sammy Goossens, better known as Sierra Sam to all lovers of quality TechHouse beyond, who is about to release his "Remember Me" 12" on our vinyl only offshoot UYX Series in fall 2k15.
The original version of "Remember Me" causes us to gravitate straight towards the center of the club, sporting percussion layers as hot as a tropical night out and well-morphed sample wizzardry with a classic, dry windy city touch. Later on we're carried away by positive, uplifting stab sequencing and an energy overload that sends punters to ecstatic heavens for a reason.
The next variation on "Remember Me" is the 'Pascal Hetzel & Sierra Sam`s System 100 Mix' - a way darker affair on the technoid side of things. Psyched out, Acid-induced synth lines meet a threatening, slightly distorted drum foundation, frizzling high-hats on overdrive and devil'ish, psychotic vocal processing from hell. 100% underground bunker music for those who know.
Finally we see Upon.You-founder Marco Resmann on remix duties for "Remember Me", catering a fascinating, highly energetic, yet dry and tool'ish cut on the original track for maximum dancefloor frenzy. Watch out for siren synths on fleek!

It’s fair to say that Sammy Gossens aka Sierra Sam is one of the rare and victorious butterflies of the electronic world. Over the last 15 years not only has Sierra Sam released his own works on esteemed imprints such as Supplement Facts, Time Has Changed, Einmaleins Musik and many more, but his impeccable engineering skills are in demand worldwide, co-producing with artists such as Bloody Mary for Dame Music and Surburban Knight for UR and Peacefrog. Not enough to suffice his creative torrent, Sierra Sam runs the highly successful Toys For Boys imprint alongside Marcus Vector and was label manager for Jay Haze’s Tuning Spork and Contexterrior labels. Joining Cesare vs Disorder's Serialism imprint comes as no great surprise; the labels quirky, throbbing yet quality mannerism slotting directly into Sierra Sam's honed tech house signature for this five piece EP ‘Sierralism’. A1 ‘Sierralism’ marks the EP with an acidic and animalistic drive as sirens scream and tight percussion smack against a dark push and pull bass line. ’Sierralism’ is deceiving though, as its second half swerves into creepy vocoded slurs and an enchanting key melody to mould the title track into a mixed bag of flitting atmospheres. Up next is ‘Your Secrets’ where Sierra Sam exercises his unrivalled ability to conquer a plethora of sounds. Dripping in sumptuous synth lines, whispering piano keys and a wailing male vocal, Sierra’s concoction of off- beat clicks and cuts work as the underlying drive to ‘Your Secrets’ - a sensual, elegant and late night house track. On the flip long term friend and colleague Jay Haze works his ardent craftsmanship on ‘Your Secrets’ with his ‘Never Ready Edit’. Injecting punch via powerful drum snares and ricocheting vocal snippets, Haze flips ‘Your Secrets’ into its dark, smouldering alter ego with a stomping funk to its beat. Following Haze, Sierra Sam welcomes another artist on ‘The Laws Of Distraction’, Brooklyn’s Big Bully. Big Bully’s skin prickling vocals have spanned the house tech landscape, featuring on productions from Samin, Dinky, Adultnapper and Fuckpony to name but a few. ‘The Laws Of Distraction’ leaves us immediately hypnotized with a vat of warm echoeing synth sections and faint trickles. Deeply lost within Sierra Sam’s consistently intelligent rhythm sections, shakers are delicate, tom drums bellow and hand claps strike. Bully’s vocals are the grand finale in the arrangement though as his breathy vocal stabs dance against serene moans. Lastly, ‘W.G.B’ is the ‘Sierralism’ digi bonus, closing the EP with an upbeat and irresistible house track. With nods to an old school vibe and roughness, a bouncing bass line carries from below, playing host to crisp wooden taps and stabbing synths that consequently make for irresistible rhythms. ‘W.G.B. has groove and raw charm in abundance. ‘Serrialism’ is released in late February, followed imminently by Sierra Sam’s next EP on Tiefschwarz’s label Souvenir. As 2012 unfolds, Serialism continue their ever ascending role as one of the scenes most innovative and quality imprints.

Jazzanova released their 3rd album "The Pool" on Sonar Kollektiv in 2018. It evolved from various loose jam sessions, mixing up synthesised sounds, samples and real instrumentation. Many singers where involved incl. Edward Vanzet from Australia, who was also asked to provide lyrics. Which he did creating the song "I'm Still Here" giving the tune a Yacht-rock west coast feeling.
I always felt the song was one of the strongest of the whole album so I asked some peeps to do remixes for my label Best's Friends.
German A-List remixer Larse gives the whole thing a pop feeling with an Italo-disco touch in his both versions. While Winnie & Somow from Berlin go for a more organic approach looking for that sun-rise House tune on a beach-rave or wherever.
I think this remix package has something for every one in it
- Daniel W. Best

Ark has got an eclectic and "organic" sound, something in between. From his origins as guitarist in a number of 80's funk bands, most notably Trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is Pepe Bradock and onto the great Matthew Herbert & LoSoul with their first collaboration, 'Belle Lurette' in '99. The 'Alleluyark' EP series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. His 2005 long player on Perlon, 'Caliente' won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with Shalom (as Shalark), Krikor (as Krikark), Cabanne (as Copacabannark), Mikael Weill (as Les Cerveaux Lents) and Dolibox. His cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of Stephen Beaupre, Mr. Oizo, Archive, Mossa, Salif Keita, Slabb, Fym, Robag Wruhme ... ARK's new LP (cd+vinyl) features singers (Xanax, Lippie) and is here now...

Special vinyl re-issue of Trentemøller's groundbreaking debut album. Includes all of the 13 songs on vinyl for the first time. Triple-vinyl in gatefold sleeve.
Trentemøller's debut album remains one of the few genre-defining and groundbreaking
albums in many regards. It's still being praised for its composition and sounddesign alike and sounds as fresh and breathtaking today as it did when it was originally released in 2006.
The Last Resort - a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. The 13
instrumental tracks together form a wordless musical story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. It
manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. An ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods. Although it's an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even DJ scratching to create a more organic feel. The album received fantastic acclaim from both music fans and journalists around the world and made it into the top-lists of the month, the year, the decade - alongside an array of awards for best production or best album.
Back in 2006, the original pressing only included a selection of songs from the original 13-track album release. It missed out on songs which had been released on singles or didn't "fit" on the so called "vinyl edition". Due to 'public demand' and simply because this album deserves a proper vinyl
release we are happy to finally present, for the first time, the full album on vinyl. It spans of three vinyl discs and is packed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve which also holds a download-code. The recut has been carefully crafted from first generation, orignal masters by Calyx in Berlin. Since the album has been praised for its fantastic sound the primary directive was to cut the lacquers for the re-issue so that they would sound exactly the same as the original release, which has been the CD version of the album. No 'digital remastering' or any other alterations have been applied.
All 13 songs of the classic album on one vinyl release for the first time. Triple-Vinyl edition. Gatefold sleeve. download code. original sound-quality. NO digital remastering.

Blurb:
Hame presents ‘Almost Home’. Deeply inspired by his life story. Shortly after Hame left his mother's house in 2008, significant changes unfolded. This marked the end of a connection to a physical space when returning home. Fast forward to 2024, and a myriad of experiences have shaped his journey. Often feeling lost in the pursuit of life's purpose, Hame navigated a bumpy road that led him to places where he didn't always feel at ease.

Throughout this tumultuous journey, one constant brought solace to Hame: making music. Whether playing the guitar with friends, practicing the piano as a child, or spending nights mastering Ableton during college, the act of filling the room with heartfelt sounds became synonymous with a sense of home.

With his first release on Small Steps in October 2022 and enchanting performances at festivals like Doel, Hame observed that his music had a similar effect on others, offering a sense of understanding. The prospect of dedicating more time to music and sharing it with a wider audience rekindled a familiar feeling that had been absent for a long time – reminiscent of the comforting sense of direction he experienced as a child.

This EP, crafted by Hame, encapsulates a myriad of emotions he encountered along the way. Notably, in the track "Tears," he employed the sound of actual sobbing to create rhythmic elements, adding an emotional touch to the composition. Through these musical expressions, Hame invites listeners to connect with his journey, offering a shared experience that resonates on a personal level.
