If it would not be so cold outside, the latest shot of INSISTMUSIC would become an instant party classic. What PING! from Thuringia have delivered this time at least definitely feels that way. The third edition of the Frankfurt based vinyl label presents an intelligent, groovy techno: predictable enough to entrain, diversified enough to pleasantly surprise. The opening track "Depature" marches across the dance floor, picking up the playful dancers with its funky offbeat elements in the beginning and taking them on an ecstatic journey with its cleverly placed breaks.
In the remix by label mate Sascha SONIDO "Depature" catches a touch of tribal techno moving the track with its vocals like rolling sound figures a good bit further into the house cosmos. And there "Depature" wonderfully feels at home, too.
"Steady State Universe", the second composition from PING! takes the listener on a more dignified journey than "Depature". Jazz sound figures combine the elements of electronic music with a hypnotic beat that is looming its way from the ears down to the dancing feet on its path through the body. PING! shows with "Steady StateUniverse" that four-to-the-floor does not always have to be head-on. This is also seen in the Justin Berkovi remix that on the one hand never loses sight of the starting materials jazzy idea, but on the other focuses more and directly on the dance floor. While the dancers are floating through the cosmos in the original "Steady State Universe" getting slowly hypnotized by the beat, Justin Berkovi lays more focus on the obviousness of the rhythm in his interpretation. This one is definitely a number for the prime time.
Those who do not buy INSIST 003 vinyl, but rather download the digital version, will also have the pleasure of getting "Caldera" - a monumental work of pings and pongs mixed with rolling beats, a swirling bass line and an epic break.

Insist Music's second release is a fancy triple: Side A presents Sascha Sonido's track "Tanzania", remixed by Patrick Kunkel and Dirk Redmer. The founders of Insist Music decided to publish their remix prominently and doing so was a wise decision: Their interpretation of "Tanzania" is some kind of real-deal club music that tracks the borderlines of house, garage and techno, paired with a smacking House groove, playful chords and spooky-soulful vocal effects.
Sascha Sonido - DJ, labelowner, producer and booker: The young gun already released cheerful EP's and Singles on well known labels like Kling Klong, Trapez, Flash, Natural Rythm and Plasic City. On Insist Music's new release he presents a collaboration with Swiss Djane and producer Angelica Fravi. These two good friends offer up a pair of brilliantly house tracks: "Tanzania" and "Koh Samui" - presented on Side B of Insist 002.
In both tracks soulful voice matches beats and synths perfectly, taking the dancefloors to a higher level. The second track in Side B, "Koh Samui" takes a more understated, melancholic turn, counterbalancing the ecstatic nature and especially the even more ecstatic interpretation on Side A by Patrick and Dirk, with even more cool groove and very soulful vocals, of "Tanzania". Last but not least there is also a digital only exclusive track - a remix of Koh Samui from Ingo Boss.
Tracklisting:
A: Tanzania (Patrick Kunkel & Dirk Redmer Remix)
B1: Tanzania
B2: Koh Samui

The first release on INSIST MUSIC presents some of the rising stars of the israelian electronic music scene: Lonya Koval in collaboration with Audio Junkies. The main track "Face Lift" is a piece of uplifting tech house using a sequencer line that is growing and growing until the end.
The same track is reworked by Patrick Kunkel and Dirk Redmer - keeping the flow of the original and introducing some more house elements to the original. "Fetish" also comes in two versions: The Audio Junkies Mix, which is part of the vinyl, makes use of a hypnotic melody which makes the sun shine everywhere even in the darkest clubs. The Lonya Mix of the same track focuses even more on Detroit style melancholic elements and is available only digital as a bonus track.
