The prolific DJ, producer and lord of the Slovenian undergound, Umek has been a long standing figure on the international Techno scene and produced countless EPs and remixes since his production debut over a decade ago. Now, freshly primed for action in today‘s high-tech club culture, Umek brings us three exclusive tracks full of funk, attitude and substance! The title track, ‚Intense Emotion‘ is an energetic, bouncing bomb that relies on sharp synth stabs to flavour an already delicious concoction of tight beats and cooly refined basslines. The wandering synths fill the spectrum and really lift things off as the track picks up speed, throwing us toward the pushing climax. With a much dryer, minimal approach, ‚Take A Look‘ burns brightly at the other end of the sonic spectrum, with its careful fills, effects and tripped out bending synth mayhem. Its a killer track for the more demented dancers out there, and shows how Umek‘s unique understanding of the dancefloor extends to all corridors of the four-tothe-
floor genre! ‚Dialogue Occurs‘ is a tough, skipping techy cut that rolls from floor to ceiling with bass heavy electronic action. Paranoid, bending and bleeping hooks combine with the busy groove to create a pumping, pushing party track that is as cruel as it is kind! Tracklisting: A: Intense Emotion B1: Take A Look B2: Dialogue Occurs

A1. Homeless Hearts
A2. Undercover
B1. Silence feat. Raphael Hofman
B2. Creature
Info:
Berlin native Florian Kruse has been a key part of the underground house and tech house scene for years now, and his productions have rightfully been bringing him plaudits for their emotional maturity. Finding a kindred spirit in German vocalist Hendrik Burkhard, as TheGround the pair have crafted a killer new album - 'Dediction', including these four exceptional tracks that will appear on the vinyl edition 'Dediction EP'.
'Homeless Hearts' exemplifies the duo's effect on each other - the slick, nuanced and spacy production gives way to a powerful groove, providing the perfect backing for Burkhard's dreamy vocal.
'Undercover' is a clear dance-floor killer, with Kruse's exceptional flair for programming meeting Burkhard's understated delivery.
Co-written by Raphael Hofmann 'Silence' explores some melancholic terrain before finding its way back to the floor via Kruse's & Burkhard's lush production.
The EP is concluded with 'Creature' - featuring a thick growling bass and precise, arpeggiated synth lines that cut through the mix like lasers.

Swedish phenomenon Tiger Stripes returns to Audiomatique with a funky little number indeed. Going by the name of ‚Glorified‘, this return to the fore (and of course the dancefloor) is a fitting addition to the Audiomatique
catalog, ever growing and pushing cutting-edge, techy house and techno. ‚Glorified‘ opens with a tight swinging groove, an easy going vibe and a light and airy positive vibe. As we get quickly drawn into Mr.Stripes‘ snaking arrangement, an uplifting speech arrives from a preacher from the House of Jack! Smooth organs and high-end production values wrap up this unavoidable winner. Acclaimed producer Rodriguez Junior lends his hand to remix ‚Glorified‘ and really delivers a stellar treatment - drawing out the introduction and adding tension. Pushing drums lead a pitching, super-stereo chord pattern as the filters open and evolved into an early morning anthem.
Tracklist:
A: Glorified
B: Glorified (Rodriguez Jr. Remix)

We welcome a newcomer to the Audiomatique roster as talented Brazilian producer Wehbba comes to the fore with the glorious ‚3Days'.
Wehbba has explored many zones of the tech-house genre and now brings his expertly polished beats to Steve Bugs pioneering label. The groovy, sample-laden beats of ‚3Days' are a tribute to that very special 60s festival of fun and music. Now some 40 years on we are still finding ways to escape to other zones and Wehbba's solid grooves allow us to do just that!
Prolific minimal/techno producer Mihalis Safras engineers a crafty remix on the flip side, strengthening the groove further with dramatic snare shots and heavy bass surges. Trip-out FX and careful use of the sample material make this a reliably heavyweight tech-house journey.
As another solid stamp on the B side, ‚Balance' shimmers and shakes across the audio spectrum, showing off Wehbba's production skills once again. Smooth, immediate and functional, its spacey beats fuse with classic rhodes chords in a modern-deep house jam.
Tracklisting:
A1. 3Days
B1. 3Days (Mihalis Safras Remix)
B2. Balance

One of the leading figures in the modern house and techno movement, Patrick Chardronnet returns to Audiomatique with another surefire weapon for the summer.
'Pleasant Day' is perfect for the open air season, yet contrary to what its title suggests, it's a dark, funky and freaky tune that carries many trademarks of the Audiomatique sound. Liquid synths and acidic bass fused with modern drums are all precision engineered to the super high quality level you'd expect from Chardronnet.
The lush and divinely deep 'Aim' takes us further into the sound capabilities of this seasoned studio hand. Fluttering, tropical moods soar through colourful layers of dubbed synth textures and strong, surging bass.
Tracklisting:
A. Pleasant Day
B. Aim

Dutch producer van Dongen arrives back on Audiomatique - almost 5 years since his first outing - ‚Hate To Say O.K' in 2006 - we welcome back his tough, refined and urgent electronic stylings.
‚Vulcanic Ass' gets straight to the point with a gyrating, cyclic attitude that simply cannot be ignored. Bouncing bass, sharp drums and an anthemic pitching synth theme provide a blissful yet party-assured climax! Barcelona boys Audiofly hand in a dynamic and inventive remix that fuses live drum loops with drier, more resolute moments than the original. Carefully engineered and executed, it's a modern incarnation of the the duo's earlier tech-house sound.

Maetrik has enjoyed some hot releases of late, with heavy work released on Dumb- Unit, Mothership and Resopal Schallware. Now this big talent comes again on Audiomatique with a three track arsenal of audiomind games. ‚Marinda‘, featuring Sabb, throws us right into the current Maetrik sound with freaky vocal lines and solid nu-house vibes underpinning the hot‘n‘dirty bassline! Expertly executed, with full spectrum clarity as we can always expect from Maetrik, its a versatile track that melts deep house, techno and chicago booty action into one smooth ride! On the B side the deeper ‚Kemik‘ chugs along with sub-sonic freakiness and more classically rooted house references. One for those special, hot moments where tension and drama are key... its a big track for the morning floors! ‚Glider‘ seals the deal then, with rubbery bass energy and super funky grooves forming from a shifting, shimmering, tougher house pump. Again primed for the early morning, or indeed the peak time, as if we needed more confirmation of Maetrik‘s club mastermind.. here it is!

A: Marinda feat. Sabb

Tigerskin aka Alex Kruger is certainly one of the most prolific artists releasing electronic music these days. His Tigerskin alias has released music on a plethora of respected platforms, far and wide across the spectrum of electronic music labels. Now we happily welcome him to Audiomatique, Steve Bug's imprint designed to support the techier, more intense end of his eclectic love of house and techno.
Lead cut 'Everybody Likes Ollie' whirls and skips across a liquid platinum backdrop of silky smooth grace and ecstatic wonder. Part tough pumping house, part disco, part future techno, its an anthemic track that throws the listener right in the middle of an epic, mind-blowing main event! Uplifting spaced-out synths sing and climb, augmented by funky percussion patterns and classic strings stabs. Pure quality, as if we expected anything less from this producer!
On the B-Side the longer and more tripped 'Supersonic' comes on strong like a techno classic. Bubbling and freaking in the background with off-kilter FX, and building slowly as a number of momentous synth elements mark its incline, its a building monster of the highest order.

Maetrik heads up the next Audiomatique 12‘‘ with the stunning ‚Underrate Dis EP‘. Well known for his great work on labels like Mothership or Dumb Unit the man from Valencia continues to grow from strength to strength with this storming three tracker. Melting house, techno and sinister, super funky elements into a truly unique and unmissable package, there‘s sheer talent on display in unearthly amounts! Filling up the A side like a casually swung monster, ‚Relax‘ has all the qualities of a recording that actually makes you do the opposite - this cut urges you to party! Brooding, slow building and stone cold cool, the on-going narrative and freaky vocal motif get right inside your consciousness, literally dragging the dance out from inside. Carrying on that forward moving tip we encounter ‚Purr Baby‘ - a real mind melting slab of funk that sums up the magic of Maetrik‘s sound with tripped out synth warbles, rolling, intricate grooves and dramatic, unforgettable builds. Finally ‚Herb House‘ completes the package, and what a finale it is too! Heavy beats and deep swaying synth atmospheres revolve this one around a delicious hook constructed of sensual vocal snippets and rasping horns. Another prime time excursion from the up and coming Maetrik.

NYC‘s Adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. Not interested in following the current pop-trends, Adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚Almost Nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. Haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. Poker Flat regular Patrick Chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. Dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly Chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as Audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚White Fingers Black Hair‘ is the B side jam from Adultnapper. A skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. Super, off the wall stuff from NYC‘s chief mindwaper himself!

Hamburg‘s very own Stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut Audiomatique with the wonderful ‚Buxton Pipes‘ EP. With releases on Diynamic, Freerange, Terminal M and Liebe*Detail Martin Stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „Una Pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚Refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚Buxton Pipes‘, the lead track on the new EP, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms Stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. Dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. Continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚Kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. Sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. Finally the skipping ‚Seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. Super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. Simply superb work from Stimming on Audiomatique.

A: Boxton Pipes

Already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label Poker Flat, and of course Connaisseur, Patrick Chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track EP on Audiomatique. A delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚Piper‘ raises the brow for Chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. Sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. Enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores Chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. On the B side the driving, textural chimes of ‚Dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. Solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. Suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

Fresh from his own stunning Audiomatique 2.0 mix, NYC‘s leader in hi-tech mindplay, Adultnapper, brings us more of his dark and addictive electronic funk! Two more brooding cuts await in the shifting shapes of ‚Madeleine‘ and ‚One Room‘, alongside a pushing, bouncing remix from Germany‘s own Gregor Tresher. Having already featured as a sneak preview on his own 2.0 mix, and teasingly mixed together on Steve Bug‘s Bugnology 3, the full version of ‚Madeleine‘ is now available. Its a cooly focused, dark, yet somehow sweet grind of the sort only Brooklyn‘s master of the black arts is capable. A tough percussive house grind slowly gives way to twisting wires and electro-acoustic energy as a strangely catchy theme is constructed from spooky broken stings and ghostly junked pianos - freaky yet decidedly fresh... With a little more light creeping in through the windows, ‚One Room‘ illustrates perfectly those special daybreak moments, where night stretches its rested limbs and rubs its tired eyes,
slowly morphing into day. The mode is continuation here, as if Adultnapper has captured us at his own special after party, and this is the soundtrack. Its a complex, jacked and blissfully melodic jam that is indeed versatile, but cries out to be played at sunrise! Gregor Tresher has risen to notoriety of late thanks to his impeccable song-writing and arrangement skills set alongside big-room club mechanics. Releasing hits like ‚A Thousand Nights‘ on Great Stuff or ‚Panchakarma‘ alongside Monika Kruse under their GTMK guise on Intacto, the man simply knows how to work it! His remix of ‚One Room‘ holds nothing back, and transforms the original‘s gentler sentiments into a peak time, bouncing techno treat. Skipping basslines and delayed micro-melodies surround us in a wave of unmissable energy.

After some very well received releases for the likes of Renaissance and Kickboxer records, Stephan Hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside Martin Eyerer, presents ‚Bacala‘. Its a cheekily warped excursion into Hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! Tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! Check this in the main room for maximum effect. Audiomatique key player Adultnapper‘s remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. Trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. Designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of Adultnapper‘s remixing skills.

Following the recent and astonishing ‚Audiomatique 2.0‘ mixed by N.Y.C‘s Audultnapper, we present one more helping of glistening fresh house and techno, in the shape of remixes by Samuel L Session and Ben Watt. Joel Mull‘s ‚Red Light of Dawn‘, featured on the ‚Audiomatique 2.1‘, is remixed here by the insatiable and constantly evolving might of Samuel L Session. SLS turns in two peak time, driving techno tools, overloaded with power and energy throughout. Tightly compressed pumping beats throb and skip, building satisfying through every pass of his trademark fills and FX. ‚The Drums‘ holds things steady, keeping things moving and providing DJs with an unmissable percussive workout. ‚The Melody‘ mix fills the room with swirling, emotive synth melodies that will appeal to the lovers of more uplifting sentiments, whilst keeping the rest of track firmly grounded in techno. London based Ben Watt‘s Buzzin‘ Fly label is amongst the most highly regarded platforms for new and exciting music today. His edit of
The Viewers ‚Streethorn‘ is a beautifully crafted journey track, carrying playful, melodic instrumental elements along through a deep surging world of hissing percussion and skipping synth hooks.
