B2 Recordings welcomes Greek Techno pioneer Novatek onto its roster this February with the 'Innerzone' EP. Savvas Georgiadis is a music producer from Thessaloniki, Greece and one of the pioneers of the techno scene in his country. His activities in electronic music started in 1992 and since then, Savvas, using various pseudonyms/projects, such as Dataman, Fujiyama, The Repeater, Neural Network, Interphaze and of course Novatek which he returns to here, has released music ranging from deep minimal techno to percussive tools, electro, and industrial/EBM. Here his latest offerings come via the burgeoning B2 Recordings, headed up by fellow Greek artist and DJ, Bengoa. Up first on the package is 'Beats Me', fuelled by gritty dub stabs, dynamic 909 drums, a funk-infused bass lick and sporadic vocal chants before title-cut 'Innerzone' leads things down a more 90's-tinged IDM path via offkilter drums, sweeping atmospherics and wandering electronic funk melodies. Opening the flip side is 'Outta Here', which returns to more dubbed out territories, fusing bubbling dub echoes with heavily swung organic drums, bright string lines and rumbling subs. 'White Crash' then rounds out the release on a deep house tip, bringing airy pad swells and shimmering piano keys into the limelight alongside resonant synth sequence and bumpy drums.

Long time dj and musician Bengoa, is getting things started by launching his brand new platform, B2 Recordings, as a mean to manage his own multifaceted creations, as well as focusing on favorite outputs around the globe. After his Blind Stitch Records imprint, that only put out two EPs and one album, the Greek artist decided to put everything under one roof, thus B2 Recordings was born, kicking things off quite in style, with this GRANDE remix EP.. "What You Give" is the title of Bengoa's first album from the not too distant 2014, which is now remixed by two legends of the house / deep house scene. On the draw side, one of the most important heads in dance music around the world, mr Larry Heard, has picked "Eye Talk" and delivered two amazing versions of the original track, featuring vocals by Brothers' Vibe! The American producer, remixer, vocalist and dj, has been successfully around now for 35 years, creating his own musical world, and that's where he is taking us with his remixes on this ep, floating between acid baselines and deep underground chords.. On the flip, Spanish deep house maestro and owner of Deep Explorer Music, Dubbyman, delivers a superb, straight-for-the-floor version of Bengoa's "The Touch". His unique style of mixing electronic music with jazzy chords and spherical grooves, works flawlessly with the spoken vocals on this track, perfectly showcasing Dubbyman's raw talent as a musician. A mature and complete record that shouldn't be missing from your deep house collection..

The B2 Recordings imprint was launched in late 2019 by Athens based producer and
DJ Bengoa, the project revisited two tracks from his 2014 release debut album ‘What
You Give’. ‘Eye Talk’, which features vocals from Brothers Vibe was treated to two
remixes from House music pioneer Larry Heard, while ‘The Touch’ was remixed by
Deep Explorer founder, Dubbyman. This classy, deep leaning aesthetic perfectly set
the tone for B2 Recordings and what will follow.

following a five-year hiatus. Title-cut ‘Forest Law’ takes the lead with robust, organic
percussion at its core while wandering subs, airy, circling synth lines and vocal chants
ebb and flow throughout the groove to create a rolling, hypnotic groove.
‘A Little More’ opens the flip-side next, embracing a dub leaning feel with choppy stab
echoes, crunchy drums and bumpy bass hits before ‘Corponation’ rounds out the
release, laying focus on expansive voice murmurs, airy atmospherics and an acid
tinged bass hook alongside loosely shuffling, jazz tinged drums.
