Ekwal is a new independent netlabel dedicated to making exploratory, minimal techno with an emphasis on live performance. Ekwal’s artists approach music from very different directions, but they share a common desire to produce deep, subtle, sounds aimed directly at the dancefloor.

Ekwal is currently planning releases by artists from around europe, including releases from ‘deer’, ‘rob park’, ‘red shift’ and ‘dug’.

Ekwal’s first release is a collection of 4 tracks by ‘Deer’ aka Martin Hirsch, featuring a blend of fieldrecordings and experiments in techno and electro.

While the first three tracks explore various aspects of the four-on-the-floor paradigm, the last cut, ‘Stationary’, features an excerpt from a living room livejam with Source Records founder ‘Move D’. The ‘Track Delay EP’ was mastered by John McCaig at PanicStudios, Seattle.

Deer has previously released as “random noise productions” on Neo Ouija and Hippocamp. His website can be found at www.regicide.org.

Just when were getting used to his last album , Claudio brings a new EP which builds and expands upon “Karma’s” [ouzo11] characteristics. Although “Racin” includes touches of minimal or acid, it is strictly a pure techno album, directed straight at the dancefloor through detailed sound processing.

Effects are used here without fear, with the pools of reverb and delay creating a feeling sometimes reminiscent of a dub album , a warm texture on which Claudio layers his trademark shuffled beats, generating relaxed grooves that can keep up the energy level in the dancefloor without losing that warm edge.

“Bateries” opens the album with an incisive rythm and an acidic bassline, “Group Me” is a shifting piece made of various percussive sounds and shimmering reverbs that fade in and out of the mix. “Traelo” closes the record with a darker attitude, leaning towards an after hours atmosphere. Theres not much else to say, download “Racin” right now, free brain massage for the dancefloor, no extra charge.

The latest dreiton.net release seems to be a bit different. The twins Lars and Gunnar Hemmerling, aka 4 creators (together with Telly Quin & Plastique from Einklang freier Frequenzen) and artists of the eintakt-label, present their stalker lp containing six minimal techno tracks for the peaktime.

With strong pressure the sounds are pushing over the dancefloor – techno in its best form! Each track of the release is unique and from high quality.

Acid-elements take turns with smooth expanses and abstract melodies - carried by perceptive but pumping beats. The idea, arrangement and mastering convinced me at once.

Es ist soweit die erste EP von NEUBAU RECORDS kann vom Stapel rollen.

Dieser Verantwortung ist sich DJ LOOPO voll bewubt und kommt gleich mit 4 pumpenden Tracks daher. Der Berliner Dj und Producer ist seit nunmehr ca.

15 Jahren dabei, was man ohne Zweifel an seinem Stylemixing erkennen kann, denn dort spiegeln sich einige Epochen der lektronischen Musik wieder, ohne jedoch kitschig oder abgegriffen zu wirken. Kurzum vom Herzen in den Arsch! Viel Spab!.

Jon Doe’s SeeMeInLuv is driven by it’s deep kick and the side to side movement of hypnotic textures.Aggressively cracked percussion becomes more chaotic as the track progresses while dancing across a punchy bass line.

Ernesto’s remix pushes the percussion even further and adds to it a spooky melody.Sensitive Emotion takes the intensity up a notch with it’s manic use of hi-hats and vocal stabs.

High energy in both tempo and arrangement yet surprisingly melancholic in sound.Jon strips it down and reworks it for the dance floor opting for a slinky but solid feel.
