Claude Von Stroke – Vocal Chords
Perfect blend of emotions in this track. Playtime: in the morning after a long long night.

Ellen Allien – Our Utopie
This sounds good. Very good actually. B-pitch labelboss Ellen Allien released her 5th album yesterday and ‘Our Utopie’ is the hypnotic opening track. Definitely sounds warmer and less clinical than the slightly disappointing “Sool”.

This is only a snippet by the way – full track is 4.10 minutes, but not available yet on youtube.

Robert Hood – And Then We Planned Our Escape
Some pumping minimal Detroit techno for you, from Underground Resistance co-founder Robert Hood. Released on the Belgian Music Man Records back in 2007, this banger just picks up with the beat and doesn’t let down over the course of 7 minutes. If you like driving basslines and trance-like continuity, then this is right up your alley.

Totally dig this tune. Love how uptempo it is. And you can always get me with a driving bassline and how the almost hypnotic infinite repeat almost lulls you into a trancelike state.

Wareika – King’s Child (Ricardo Villalobos Remix)
I only recently stumbled upon this one-year old beautiful Villalobos remix. We don’t have the dry-clean Villalobos at work here, but the soulful, jazzy, dare I say Chilean?, Villalobos at work. Niceness. Or, as a German youtube user comments: “supergeile scheibe”! Doesn’t that sound sexy?

Ricardo Villalobos – Dexter
Playhouse reprints the ‘number one’ album of the last decade (according to Resident Advisor): ‘Alcachofa’ by Ricardo Villalobos. ‘Dexter’ was one of the tracks that brought me more into the slower bpm spectrum of electronic music (I was quite an adept of 165+ bpm music). A well deserved winner of that poll, what an album.

A couple of mixes
Lately I’ve been enjoying these mixes:
2 Oliver Deutschman mixes (Berlin sound). One recent. One slightly older. Very gifted DJ.
Ellen Allien Always Fridays guest mix.
Patchwork Pirates Fabric Promo Mix (anything from crunk to dubstep back to garage and funk). It’s quite hypa hypa but they just get away with it. Special attention goes out to the Notorious remix!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Very disappointed with his new album.

I didn’t like all of the tracks on the album, but as I didn’t know Pantha Du Prince before, I had no expectations

Ripperton – Farra
Swiss guy Raphael Ripperton released his debut album ‘Niwa’ on Green. I liked the track ‘Farra’ the most, but the whole album is worth checking.
You can download a free track called ‘Modal Love’ at the Green website. Lovely stuff!

Skream – Minimalistix
This is Skream‘s succesful exercise in trying to let metal plates dance. The metallic melody moves between abstract techy beats and -in the second part of the track- a rolling bassline.
On the flip you’ll find Skream’s remix of ‘No Future’ by Instra:mental.

Oliver Hacke – 21:31
I get so mixed up by hearing this track. It makes me feel positive, however the whole mood is in an unspoken way very sad. Its bassline tells a story of forgotten passion and lonely endless sights. Somewhere in the middle, the story turns out to be quite positive as hope flickers from the changed bassline. But troubled memories return near the end of the track.
Best served next to Triola‘s ‘Leuchtturm’ and Psychonauts ‘The Worlds Keeps Turning (Highfish & Zander remix)), like in Superpitcher’s Today mix album. Timeless!
