(Joel Alter Edit)

Press Info:
The solid tumbling tones found on this EP are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producer’s latest creation. Both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on Sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery!

‘Sirens’ is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! This needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded!

‘Moirae’ works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. Mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement!

Joel Alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

Note: artwork & press text were saying “Sirens” instead of “Sirenes”.

Recommended: In A Mindset – “Compartments EP”

Info :
In A Mindset is the moniker of 27 year old Steven S.. The project was raised in 2009, after playing in various metal bands (FTE and Mortheim and still active in Serapeum), he decided to create something new inspired by various sound installation artists. His works range from dark ambient and neoclassical influences to industrial, noise textures and technoid/abstract rhythms.

While being active in the metal underground scene for almost 10 years, he’s been doing everything on his very own, choosing different paths during the sound creation process. Making electronic music became a huge part of his life the last 3 years.

He is also involved in SEC 1nine13.

It took him 3 years, until Steven decided to reveal some of his first tracks to the public. During these 3 years he was experimenting, building his equipment in search for his very own sound. “Compartments” is his first official release and more of a precursor for his debut album “Artifacts”, to be expected this autumn.

His sound has been described as Arcana meets Gridlock more than a few times, artists who have influenced him as well as many other different sources. While being active in the metal underground scene for almost 10 years, he`s doing everything on his very own, choosing different paths during the sound creation process. “Compartments” is a result of guitar-processed layers, ethereal soundscapes, noise textures and detailed percussion works.

out now: Hermanez – Locomotive [Circle Music]

Artist:
Hermanez

Title:
Locomotive

Label:
Circle Music

Cat#:
CIRCLE027

Release Date:
16. June 2010

Format:
12″ & digital

Tracklist:
01. Locomotive
02. Snarey Business
03. Raw Shuffle

Track 03 is digital-only!

Info :
Circle Music welcomes a new family member: Michael Coninx alias Hermanez. The Limburg born Belgian who started his carrier very classical as a DJ in his early youth arrested attention with his latest productions on labels like Viva Music, Monique Music, or Quartz. With his style between deepness and aggression he convinced big names like Laurent Garnier, Gregor Trescher, Sven Väth or Christian Smith to support his releases. But know we will have a closer look to his first Circle Music release.

“Locomotive”:
With the cautious “Locomotive” Hermanez, who remixed collegues like, DJ Yellow or Kaiserdisco so far lays his focus on smooth sounds, strait beats, wafting basses, fluffy chords and really nice and sharp highs. Very functional the track creates a very easy and bulked atmosphere. Every beat is like taking the next step into something very strong and powerfull, everytime in motion, everywhere in room and time.

“Snarey Business”:
With “Snarey Business” Hermanez, makes it a bit more techno like. The arrangement is more tight, the groove is more impulsive (and Hermanez pushs it higher and higher with every minute. Very dry the percussions are the perfect complement to the wet and semi-melodic synthesizers. This is the perfect track getting the people on the floor.

“Raw Shuffle”:
“Raw Shuffle” is really raw. Pounding grooves and washed out percussions and highs are building the very strong center of the track. And around this strong base vocal snippets, dry chords and a lot of nice gadgetry are flying. Here Hermanez shows a very intuitional feeling for the small elements making his track to a waterfall of emotions, sounds and handcraft. A really strong track with a very sexy groove.
