More than a year after its release, we have the privilege to experience again a masterpiece reworked by two members of Treibstoff, Marcel Janovsky, and Till Krüger. Janovsky, sticking to his roots, delivers a minimal techno version with just enough of the original that creates a suspenseful groove that will leave the floor in a frenzy. Till Krüger's remix is unmistakably "Krüger", instilling his warm techno style with segments of Ananda's brilliant melodies. Each producer subtly uses pieces of the original to provide a new experience without taking anything away from it. We are proud to welcome these two great producers to Basmati.

No time to rest, here is Anandas next on Basmati. Like his smash single "Doppelwhipper" the present tracks for his "Live Series" were performed live on stage. "Hey Blop" is a perfect and very playable summertrack while "Give Me Five" shows how percussions should be looped into great Techno.

Parallel to the release of his album "Selected Works Techno" Ananda starts on Basmati his "Live Series ". Published here are the tracks which have been established on the floors during his recent live sets. The tracks hold almost forgotten practice to deceive an audience: Occasional imprecision is a stylistic device, the post production was skipped, unpolished rough edges remain. Live Series Vol.1 is coming with the tracks "Alpha" and "Smash". This year at least 3 more releases of this series will appear on Basmati.

In fact, it's not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. But sometimes, you're even too modest to stay away. So, what's it all about? Well, the music, of course. And only the music. Organic stuff, so to speak. Tracks made by pure immersion. No plans, no blueprints. Just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno.
Here is Gabriel's new 4-tracker. Inhale.

"Short Stories" is the fruition of musical ideas brought forth by label owner / chief producer Gabriel Ananda and multitalented instrumentalist and vocalist Alice Rose. The two of them have come together to resurrect a project from 2001 and have put together a colorful mix of strings, vocals, and melodies. There is something familiar and comforting in the sound of this EP. It could be Rose's strings, which were introduced with her debut for Basmati "Food For Dreams" (Basmati 06), or elements of Ananda's live series, there is an aspect to the sound that just fits.
Ananda and Rose have delivered the complete package. The A-side opens with the not-so-short "Short Stories", a fourteen minute evolving trip covering the scope of both producers' talents. The B-side contains two versions of "Struck By Light". The Techno version comes with power and emotion, crafted for the dance floor, which is followed by the deeper, original version recorded for the first time in 2001.

Alice Rose, the surprising and inspiring Danish musical phenomenon, and one-woman-electroavantgarde-show, has started a new project called Tiger Rose. After releasing three highly musical dream-pop albums as Alice Rose, the Cologne, Germany based avant-garde singer-songwriter has beamed herself onto the planet Techno, and she's firmly planted her flag with the Tiger Rose debut, "Food for Dreams". As Tiger Rose, Alice works the four-to-the-floor bass drum with enough space around it to make a cinematic playground for her musical imagination. And when she pours it on, she breaks free of the restrictive corset of regular dance music. On "Food for Dreams" the Techno tracks pop to life, full of depth and groove as well as sparkling lightness. Gabriel Ananda, her long-time collaborator and friend, had his hands on the mix which makes it even more exciting. With the debut of Tiger Rose, a new imaginative musician has entered the Techno scene with the potential to inspire Techno and dance music fans alike. Listeners beware: this Tiger is going to make you move and groove.

Now Techno has its own fair trade. Basmati, the new label by Gabriel Ananda (artist direction) and Marcel Janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging.
Epic tracks are rarely seen in such a light-footed mood: Gabriel Ananda shakes his hairdo again, this time in cooperation with floor hope Daniel Mehlhart and the pioneers from Superstition's Quazar. The results are two genre-bending tracks, whose friendliness makes them look like 10 minute long wolves in sheep's clothing. Pinpoint funk with panoramic view, coming from true masters of all classes.
