STRD013 ARTWORK Crazy Sonic - Light Fair EP - Stripped Down

Crazy Sonic ‘Light Fair EP’

Artist: Crazy Sonic
Title: Light Fair EP
Remixer: Extrawelt, Kotelett & Joyce Muniz
Label: Stripped Down
Cat. #: STRD013
Release Date: 15th May 2020
Tracklist:
01 Crazy Sonic – Light Fair
02 Crazy Sonic – Light Fair (Extrawelt Remix)
03 Crazy Sonic – Light Fair (Kotelett Remix)
04 Crazy Sonic & ALE F – Strings & Stripes (Joyce Muniz Remix)
05 Crazy Sonic & ALE F – Strings & Stripes

Crazy Sonic debuts on Stripped Down this May with ’Light Fair’, featuring a collaboartion with Brazil’s ALE F and backed with a superb set of remixes from Extrawelt, Kotelett and Joyce Muniz.

Austrian talent, Rudolf Wrany aka Crazy Sonic is a highly respected producer and DJ in his hometown of Vienna, with a history dating all the way back to his breakout in the golden era of the 90’s. Back then, he met the globally renowned Kruder and Dorfmeister, which led him to his infamous ’Tuesday Electronica CRAZY’ club nights at FLEX alongside the likes of Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Tiefschwarz and Get Physical’s M.A.N.D.Y.. With previous releases on Tronic, Sonusfield & Time Has Changed Records, he continues to build on his stellar discography here with a new EP on Claudio Ricci’s Stripped Down imprint.

Title cut ’Light Fair’ is an immediately captivating opener, fueled by subtle melodic elements, warm bass and an hypnotic groove which come together to deliver a futuristic club hit. The groove continues to flow with a remix from Hamburg duo Extrawelt, who offer a reworking rich with arpegiated synths, deep chords and distorted elements which build the foundation to this darker and more sinister production. Berlin’s Kotelett, best known as one half of Kotelett & Zadak, takes things into spacey, atmospheric territory with trippy effects, rising stabs and subtle keys.

Next up is Joyce Muniz’s jackin’ remix of ‘Strings & Stripes’, which takes the disco string sample of the original and twists it into something refined yet floorfilling. Finally we have that original of ’Strings & Stripes’, a collaborative recording with Sao Paolo artist and international DJ ALE F. The track reveals a raw and feel-good house sound, fueled by a perfectly used, cut up disco sample.

This is a flawless label debut from Crazy Sonic on Stripped Down.

Eli Brown ‘Desire’

Artist: Eli Brown
Title: Desire
Label: Armada Subjekt
Cat: arsbjkt126
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 17th 2020
Tracklist:
1. Desire

Eli Brown outputs another single track on Armada Subjekt, that’s the way we’re used to know this producer, who publishes a few incisive productions instead of dozens of EP filled with four or more originals and remixes.
‘Desire’ proposes an edit of a classic house theme, where the main chord interfaces correctly with the instrumentals and an outstanding female vocals. The usage of a rolling bassline adds solidity and integrity to the entire production.

Eli has rapidly established himself as an artist of real distinction in the house world, with his records making an immediate impact upon a flurry of the industry’s biggest names: Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Fisher, Claude VonStroke, Black Madonna, Denis Sulta, Calvin Harris and Annie Mac, the latter of which selected an Eli Brown song twice to become the ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on her BBC Radio 1 show. Following the success of last year’s worldwide hit ‘XTC’ with Solardo, Eli shows no signs of slowing down in 2020 as he delivers his next highly anticipated record ahead of what is to be another exciting year for the Bristolian.

KD172_-_August_Artier_-_Teenage_Dreams_EP

August Artier ‘Teenage Dreams EP’

Artist: August Artier
Title: Teenage Dreams EP
Label: Kindisch
Cat: KD172
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 17th 2020
Tracklist:
1. Teenage Dreams
2. Fluid
3. Air
4. Cyrus

August Artier gets released again on Kindisch with ‘Teenage Dreams EP’, proposing a style that recalls the Romanian wave of tech house and minimal of a few years ago.
The monotonous loops are concealed with conservative percussive/hihat patterns and small chord lines put there and there: the final result is fascinating, enveloping and dreamy.  Sometimes tribal or contemporary influences inflate a little bit the songs appeal, elevating their potential and the dancefloor oriented attitude.

Just_A_Little-cover

Purple Pill Feat. HRRSN ‘Just A Little’

Artists: Purple Pill, HRRSN
Title: Just A Little
Label: Asymmetric Recordings
Remixers: Adrian Roman, Brlee
Cat: AR173
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 17th 2020
Tracklist:
1. Original Mix
2. Adrian Roman Remix
3. Brlee Remix
4. Sunrise Mix

Purple Pill meets HRRSN for the creation of ‘Just A  Little’, that’s a nice production that arouses an emotive vibe thanks to its tight instrumental and the great vocal. The lyrics are well made, maybe the voice timbre reminds to some Depeche Mode productions, in any case the original mix reaches a great peak before and after the drop, there the producer has been able to condensate well the various souds, expecially the synths, with the melody suggested by the vocal.
Adriam Roman and Brlee show up in the EP with their remixes, adding an alternative vision of the original theme. The package is completed with a beautiful edit under the ‘Sunrise Mix’ name, there the kickdrum is stronger and there is tribal drum loop that affects the original theme, also the main melody is lead by some kind of percussion instead the traditional synth module.

Casimir von Oettingen ‘Brepps EP’

Artist: Casimir von Oettingen
Title: Brepps EP
Remixer: Yulia Niko, Nader
Label: as usual.music
Cat. #: AUM028
Format: Digital
Distribution: Paradise-Distribution
Release-Dates: Beatport exclusive 24. Apr. 2020 / All Shops 08. Mai 2020
Tracklist:
01 Casimir von Oettingen – Brepps (Original Mix)
02 Casimir von Oettingen – Brepps (Yulia Niko Remix)
03 Casimir von Oettingen – Brepps (Nader Remix)
04 Casimir von Oettingen – Dollop (Original Mix)

While it’s quiet in the streets, it’s loud all over in the studios – one thing that no one can stop! For the 28th edition of ‚as usual.’ releases, we are onboarding three new faces with a distinctive sense for brisk underground music. On the main part, there’s one of Berlin’s highly demanded artists in these days – charming CASIMIR VON OETTINGEN, who brings tons of freshness with two originals of catchy minimal music. The remixers are YULIA NIKO, who had an enormous output in the recent times on labels like Deeperfect, Hottrax, Crosstown Rebels or Get Physical. And then there’s Zürich-based NADER who is a protagonist in the scene since the early 90’s and well-known in the city and above for his unique style.

Casimir’s original of the title track feels like a cool shower on sweaty days and has everything that a non-categorizable minimal tune needs at these days. ‚Brepps’ stands out by finding the perfect balance between stripped-down rhythmics, low-boosting curves plus a sincere sweetness and humour.

First reintepretation comes from Berlin-based Russian artist Yulia Niko, who injects her soft spot for subtly reduced sounds, and adds an embracing warmth and deepness on the silky lead sphere and vocal cuts. Quite inviting for gentle moves on the floor and hovering beyond.

Dirtyness comes by Swiss guy Nader by exhuming his old 303! Acid never dies and appears after all these years as one of the strongest instruments ever in eletronic dance music. Nader takes us on trip and combines smartly the old and the new, and always keeps in mind that it’s the remix of ‚Brepps’.Massive rework!

Last but not least, we get lost once again with „Endlos“ resident Casimir’s ‚Dollop’ and we don’t want to find the exit. Light-footedly he seduces us into his world of profound sequences on shaking minimalistic rhythms – effective as hell. Timeless stuff that spends full satisfaction and catches us by the eternal passion for loops.

Label: Sudbeat
Cat: SB168

Tracklist:
1. My Pleasures
2. Do Forte
3. Reliance

Eze Ramirez makes a great apparition on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat with ‘My Pleasures’, a complete three tracker into a balearic style of progressive house. The Eze’s songs arouse summer vibes and warm feelings, the instrumentals are fill with great sub basses and the synths shine with their high frequencies.
The whole sound don’t come from easy made productions, we can’t assume this while listening to these productions, but we can focus on the captivating attitude of these sounds.

The originals pressed in the A side show the kind of style which the artist is into, that’s quite raw and with industrial reminiscenses, while the Joe Farr and Gareth Wild remixes put on the flip adopt an intrinsic mentalism, that adds complexity and a malevolous behaviour infecting the main themes moods.
