A few times a year, a label releases a single that rocks the industry and the upcoming release from Hidden Recordings does just that. Gregory Shiff, who has also released off of such high caliber label’s as Stewart Walker’s Persona label in Berlin, produced the original and the label enlisted techno luminaries Adultnapper, Tony Rohr and Pheek, along with Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause to add remixes to put together a five track monster that will, and should be in the crates of DJs around the world for the rest of this year and beyond. The best part about the release? The remixers brought their A-game and put forth effort that has helped make them some of techno’s most revered producers and artists. Simply put, all five tracks rock and will pound the dancefloor.

This four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. Produced by Barcelona’s Pablo Bolivar, “Looking for a Shape”, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. The original doesn’t allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. His “Phase Two” track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece. The remixes offered are by Monkey Brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. Finally, the last track on the record is Hidden Recordings Owner Deepak Sharma + Dieter Krause’s interpretation of the original. They have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. It’s not quite as smooth as the original and that’s a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. There is something in this release for all kinds of DJs. Support from the world’s finest DJs and artists such as Pier Bucci, Argenis Brito, Butane, Maetrik, Gregory Shiff, Ambivalent, And ID, Barem, and Noah Pred.
