Daniel Bortz, a staple among electronic music producers, returns with his new album "Stay". After "Patchwork Memories" on Suol from 2013, it's the second album for Berlin-born and Augsburg-rooted Daniel. From his early days of James Blake editing and riding the slow house wave, Daniel has perfected and diversived his production skills over the seven year course between the albums. His range spans euphoric techno, cinematic breakbeats, heart warming electronica and classic deep house, you can witness on his eps for Innervisions, Pastamusik (the infamous Bella Avgvsta trilogy) or even on the legendary DJ Kicks mix series from grandmaster Moodymann, who selected one of Bortz's tracks on his volume. After his three eps (one with his friend and long time collaborator Sascha Sibler and one under his DJ Hotel alias) on Permanent Vacation, Daniel takes the consequential step and releases his second full-length album with the Munich based label. With the 11 tracks on "Stay", Daniel Bortz evokes his teenage years and dreamwalks through his upbringing during the 90's. Musically he brings together what never should have been separated: House, Acid, Downbeat and Breakbeat all rooted in the sample aesthetic of Hip Hop, thereby capturing the full emotional spectrum of life and love. Music that came to stay.

There is no stopping Meggy at the moment. With “TIMES” and “WELCOME TO THE V”, the Berlin born DJ, producer and vocalist has already delivered two top notch EPs on Suol in 2018 and here she is back again already with a third. Sporting four tracks, the “FLOWERS EP” once again showcases not only Meggy’s production prowess but also the unmistakable vocal style and songwriting abilities which have earned her so many high level feature appearances throughout her career.
The title track revolves around a hypnotically modulating analogue synth riff and drum patterns that point urgently towards the dance floor. Meggy speaks to us through chords that have an almost ravey feel to them. With its clever arrangement this track is clearly hands-in-the-air material.
“VERY MOMENTS” starts with only an electrically charged synth and organ combo and a classic Meggy vocal. The groove then starts building bit by bit, patiently leaving space for a beautifully emotional piece of songwriting before elegantly placed pianos come in and the hi-hats pick up the pace.
A bouncing interaction of drum machine and syncopated, squelching bass line draws us in straight away in “SUMMER NITES”. On a track that would surely be a dance floor winner even if it were left instrumental, the vocal with the little R&B touch that Meggy does so well is the icing on the cake.
The EP ends with “CLOSER”, the deepest and most emotional of the four tracks. Whether it is the somewhat melancholic vocal or the positive feelings of the instrumental parts you catch on to, the groove will make you want to dance either way. More
