Press Info (English):
Herla is the collaborative effort of two Austrian producers who´ve tipped their focus of sound towards warm analogue warmth, rugged drums and earthy soundscapes achieved through an amalgamation of analogue hardware.

Bare Hands, the newly formed label of the duo, is dedicated to delivering rough british influenced Techno and other related material. After their debut-release “Shadows of a Conclusion”, Herla themselves are contributing the label’s first EP release, which contains three rugged and driving tracks for connoisseurs of a harder, distorted sound.

The release kicks off with ‘Bold Font Method’, a percussion-driven vibe whose heavy elements and dark synth line are particularly captivating. Nearly seven minutes long, this track fires up the dance floor with its energetic ride and rattling tambourine sounds. The B-side provides two equally compelling numbers. The recurring, darksome and 303-heavy bass line on ‘Raddled Scriber’ lays a solid foundation for the cracking, metallic percussion cadences interspersed with acid sounds. A rough, swaying synth added towards the middle of the track, creates an almost apocalyptic atmosphere.

‘Tossing Barrel’, the second B-side track, is carried by a snappish hi-hat. Aside from its rhythmic elements, this vibe is also distinguished by a combination of a high, short Moog-synth and a deep, coarse bassline, while a down-pitched voice sample gives it a mildly eccentric attitude.

Press Info:
XDB returns on Dolly with the ‘Ganivon’ EP, the follow-up of his excellent ‘Recago’ ep from 2011. XDB is once again delivering the goods, with 3 top-notch contemporary techno tracks filled with his trademark hypnotic melodies, lush strings and solid groovin beats. Favourite is ‘Tonik’ with its classic Detroit-feel and special atmosphere. Berlin/Berghain based Answer Code Request is doing the remix job for ‘Ganivon’, resulting in an effective techno bomb which perfectly combines industrial techno elements with the Dolly feel. ‘Recago’ might have been hard to surpass, but XDB might just have done it. Big!

mit übergängen ist es so eine sache. sie gehen gerne mal daneben. das ist ein wenig peinlich, im club, bis kreuzgefährlich, in der echten welt. man könnte daraus ableiten: konservatismus und stillstand. sollte man aber nicht. gestern und heute sind verloren, bleibt nur, das morgen zu gestalten. we got to move on and come home laughing. unterstützung bei dieser hoffnungsstellung geben strobocop und freddy k sowie allzwecksklasse dj xing vom hauseigenen format get deep. ergänzt durch den freund_innenkreis des richtigen übergangs im falschen.

[Videos]: T.Raumschmiere – Several Videos

 

Notes:
T.RAUMSCHMIERE is Marco Haas, born in Heidelburg, Germany in 1975. His style is some kind of electro techno punk influenced by Industrial, punk rock, hardcore, techno and other music genres.

The slogan “stay anti” became a way of life for Marco. After playing in several bands and already putting out some electronic stuff, Daniel Miller of Mute gave him a call after seeing him on stage in Berlin and offered him a record deal on novamute.

So he did two great albums on Mute’s techno imprint and also remixed label mates like Goldfrapp, Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, Andreas Dorau (besides a lot of other acts on several labels).

Nowadays he runs the Berlin based label Shitkatapult and jsut worked with Dieter Meier of Yello.

We now have here some videos for you. The videos “Monstertruckdriver”, “Rabaukendisko” and “A Million Brothers (Blah Blah Blah)” are taken from album “Radio Blackout” (2003, novamute), the video “Sick Like Me” is from “Blitzkrieg Pop” (2005, novamute) and the video “E” is taken from “I Tank U” (Shitkatapult)
