Concealed Sounds return with a new 12" for 2014. This time around we have invited our friends from mysteries SYLPHE label to remix the title track by Martinez, and they delivered a monster! On the A side we find: "Consolidation (Sylphe Lydløs Dub)", were we are taken a true journey thru sound and rhythms for about 13 minutes. The remix kicks off in a kind of tracky way, with a strong focus on the irresistible groove laid down by Holdie Gawn & Micawber. After the first small breaks and manipulations to the groove, we are introduced to some very trippy modular sound design. These sounds takes the lead of the remix and forms into small melodies in a very organic way. While you can still sense the ingredient from the original track, Sylphe takes a slightly different directions and offers a good opposite to the original with their own special twist. The original version of "Consolidations" is presented on the b side of this 12". Its a dirty groove ridden track that goes on for well over 10 minutes, developing from a broken groove into a more danceable Techno pieces, with its shattering metallic sounds, bubbly baselines, deep layers of sub rhythms and lush pad chords to give it some more atmosphere. Two very different version of modern instalment in Techno music. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do… and as always there is a special hidden track on this 12".

martinez - B2 Asleepyness
For Concealed number 008, Martinez follows up his critically acclaimed 3x12" album "O-Pen" with another strong two tracks of experimental & minimalistic modern House Music. Enjoy! Support from: Zip, Sonja Moonear, Cabanne, Sascha Dive, Alex Celler, S.A.M. & Sammy Dee.

On "O-Pen" the focus is not to make any concept around the tracks or the album itself, but just to have ten full compositions that each have their individuality and not necessarily is the same genre or style. You'll hear more melodies again and instruments, as well as analogue drum machines and modular synths that creates the soundscape of this album. "O-Pen" is a very organic album, which includes all sounds you'd hear in the usual house & techno stuff from Martinez but also shows inspiration from more dub, ambient and even jazz influences.

martinez - The path

martinez - Wigflipped
Martinez returns to Concealed Sounds and delivers a wicked two track 12" of that deep hypnotising sound that we know him for of late. This record kicks off with "The Path" a 10 min journey though sub bass, glitchy rhythms and haunting high pitched sounds. A perfect tune for that late hours on the dance floor! On the B side we find "Wigflipped" a twisted little number of minimalistic funk. Cut up voices, bleeps, broken rhythms and a light but powerful kick drum make up the foundation of this track. The kick drums SWITCHES constantly between 4/4 and breakbeat, making the main groove ever DEVELOPING. A bit into this 14 min piece some dark rhodes chords are taking over leading it forward. With its swirling and hypnotising feeling through out, its a perfect tune for the after hour. As always we have something extra hidden on this vinyl… We hope you will enjoy this 12" as much as we at the Concealed Sounds OFFICE has.

Concealed Sounds is a brand new label from the Copenhagen based producer and DJ: Martinez. The label is set up as a platform for the more deeper shade and experimental sound of Techno and House Music. It will feature releases by Martinez himself, but also showcase some new talents as well as well known colleagues from the scene. And as the label name suggests each release will include a hidden sound, beat, groove or ambient piece. The first release comes courtesy of Martinez, and its called: Hollow EP. It starts off with a 14 minute piece of modern modular based Techno. Deep hypnotic rhythms lay down the foundation while high pitched noisy metallic sounds build over the hollow groove, before the baseline kicks in to lift everything to another level. The piece finally breaks down completely, to an almost "horror-film-soundtrack" like ambience before the groovy rhythms find their way back to bring the track to life again.

We are excited to present our fifth release straight from the hands of our favourite Scandinavian magician Martinez. A very special 3-tracker baked with the Dane's trademark ingredients! Our A-side kicks in with 'Above', a funky number with an irresistible groove and raw house feel. 'Dissident' is the perfect complement for this side with its heavy jackin' bounce. On the flip, 'Magnolia' takes control and tunnels us into its progressive trip. Enjoy the flavours!

It is a huge pleasure for Etruria Beat to welcome to the family, for the first time on an Italian label, Martin Swanstein, better known as Martinez. The Swedish/Danish is best known for his release on labels such as Moon Harbour, Cadenza, Lomidhigh, Love Letters from Oslo and La Pena. Martinez's first release, that kick started his carrier in 2000, was his "Laidback Grooves EP" on the notorious Chicago based Deep-House label Guidance Recordings. Since that time he's been a regular on the worldwide Deep/Tech-House scene. On the A-side we start out with the title track "Lonely Crowd". This track has the signature Martinez, bass driven, hypnotic and percussive house sound, opening with tight percussion over a distinct rolling beat that is soon joined by a heavy 808 kick drum. The groove filters into a more open house beat before a heavy bassline drops in. While the track keeps groovin' horns and metallic crowd noise rise before the groove crashes back in. "Venomous Advantage" is a more stripped down house affair with a strong connection to the old Chicago tracks of Gemini and Green Velvet. A deep round kick drum and metallic drum's and hi- hat's kick things off. Some chopped up voices drop throughout the track and slowly, but steady, deep chords filter into the groove. After the main break a acidic second bassline is introduced. An excellent hypnotic floor builder with lots of hidden treats. On the flip we have "Tenganan". Named after a spiritual city in Bali, Indonesia, where the Aga people lived in their own society for many years, completely cut off from the rest of the world. Martinez was lucky enough to visit the city on one of his recent Asian trips and was able to record the atmospheric sounds of this magical place. These samples lay the back ground to the entire track and are built over slamming percussive drums, underpinned by a driving bassline. The track leads into a peak time break and introduces another layer of voices and sounds, while some well placed snare drums lead it to mayhem. "Prism", is a deep dubby Techno track. Bass headlines the track, blended with deep and groovy percussion. A bubbly trippy sound filters thru the drums taking the lead and becoming the hook line. A perfect track for the after hour session!

Martinez, - Mzuzu Chant
2
Martinez, - Adagio
Danish producer Martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on Techno and House. His very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. With his debut record on Cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. The Mzuzu EP is all about bass. The bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. While the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. The basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in one´s mother´s womb. It arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. Martinez reorganises the structure of house music: The lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. Martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. Its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. Freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. Instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. The tracks rarely need anything else. The icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. Creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. Disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. "Mzuzu Chant" and "Adagio" are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space. Martinez´ compositions manage to unleash a deep joy that only Tibetean monks might feel after weeks of medition.

Martinez - Wooden Box
After his splendid mix for the „Audiomatique 1.0“ (amcd01) label-compilation and the 12“ „Shadowboxing“ (am06, feat. superb Trentemøller remix) Copenhagen based Martinez aka Martin Swanstein returns with a great new single on Audiomatique!The title-track „Echochamber“ is an amazing deep space track built up on a heavily dark bass and some extraterrestrial sound-gimmicks that make this track an extraordinary trippy groove monster. „Woodenbox“ on the b-side is as far out as the a-side, but a bit less dark. A cool sliding groove spreads a deep but slightly progressive feel. Two excellent tunes from Captain Martinez‘ space ship - now boarding.

Audiomatique welcomes Martinez!Things have recently gone rather good for Martin Swanstein aka Martinez who moved from his Swedish hometown to Copenhagen a couple of years ago. His „Out Of Orbit“ label goes from strength to strength, his releases on Deeplay, Dessous and Out Of Orbit received excellent feedback and his DJ profile is increasing rapidly.„Shadowboxing“ is Martinez‘ latest strike. The title track is a twisted stepper on the edge between minimal Techno and House. Straight forward beats with a punching bassdrum push the track forward through various twists and turns, while some vocal samples and crispy sounds add an eery atmosphere to the track. After remarkable EPs on Audiomatique and Poker Flat shootingstar and co-Copenhagener Anders Trentemøller adds another outstanding remix on the b-side. Trentemøller even lowers the bassdrum for a few degrees and picks up on the leading synth line of the original track and gives it the magic „Trentemøller“ twist, before he lets the track explode in the middle of the dancefloor with an overwound synthie thunder storm. Massive. „Sapphire Moon“ on B2 is a nice, deeper, typical Martinez track, with a brut drumsound and dreamy melodies.

ddalmh - "Sun" (Melchior Productions Ltd Day Of The Lord mix)
For the 9th release on Concealed we offer you the debut EP from DDALMH, a mysterious Copenhagen based artist. Daniel Lyons (as his real name is) may be known to people on the scene as the owner of the well respected Lomidhigh imprints, but his music production have been kept in secret until recently. Daniel’s sound is a very deep, unpretentious and dubbed out kind of House Music.
On the flip side we invited Thomas Melchior to make a remix, he turns “Sun” into a timeless tripped out Deep House tune that will hypnotise any dance floor in the early morning hours. More

"Concealed Sounds warmly welcomes Alex Celler. The super talented Greek producer, based in London since years, need no introduction. After his recent stunning "Kammsa EP" on Jay Haze's newly relaunched Contexterrior Tuning Spork label, he is on better form then ever. For his Concealed debut he delivers two strong hypnotic and dark tracks. Swirling in clever rhythmical programming and melodic undertones, these tracks will take you into another sonic dimension. On the A side "Polhammer" is the more uplifting one while the B side's "Erinyes" offers a slightly more dark and atmospheric touch. And as always keep your eyes open for the hidden gem on this 12" ….
