Info :
Berghain resident Norman Nodge offers up his first full EP for Ostgut Ton with three contemplative tracks; expanding and contracting with countless subtleties and enriched with bold artistic license.

„The Happenstance“ is an enthused explorations into the many musical zones existing outside of Techno. A warm and fresh embodiment of 80s wave electronica – like a classic Carpenter score – only a few elements are needed for his narrative to shine. The impression of distant melodies exist in purposefully excluded moments of rest, where Nodge uses restrain rather than release to interact with our very perception of the music.

A fuller club cut, „Body to Body“ floats into spacious, acidic zones. With the impression of sinking into a disorientating, resonating industrial space, this snaking and hypnotic exercise takes us in a very different yet equally rewarding direction to its sweeter A-side cousin.

An ornate exercise in reduction and challenging timing, „Breakdown“ is a slow and measured display of Nodge’s unique synthesised visions. This short exploration piece is a brave and gritty suggestion of what’s to come next from this talented producer.

Info :
Mit “Waterproof Theme” konnten “Torul” (damals Torul W.) auf dem mitlerweile inaktiven LOW SPIRIT Label (Westbam, Marusha…) einen weltweitten Szenehit verbuchen. Mit massig Airplay und Clubeinsatz avancierte die Band vom Geheimtipp zum Shootingstar! Musikalisch zwischen Bands wie Sono, Mesh, Iris oder Tiga anzusiedeln haben “Torul” eine echte Nische besetzt! Eingängiger Electropop mit Electroclash, Trance und House Einflüssen verbinden sich zu einem ganz eigenen Soundcocktail! Mit “Try” präsentieren wir die vorab Single zum kommenden Album “In Whole”, ein Album das die Electropop Welt auf den Kopf stellen wird, was der Vorbote “Try” schon eindrucksvoll verdeutlicht! Passend zur Single hat die Band ein atemberaubendes Video gedreht das wir derzeit über alle erreichbaren Plattformen streuen! “Torul”, ein Name den man sich merken sollte!

With their hit “Waterproof Theme” the band “Torul” (former “Torul W.”) managed to get high attention on the now defunct LOW SPIRIT label. The single was sublicensed all over the world and got a lot of radio and clubplay! Now they´re back with their new electropop hymn “Try”! Seven exclusive songs/mixes + video on one CD for a singel price! Musicwise they operate in between the likes of bands such as Sono, Mesh, Iris or Tiga but create a very own unique style mostly due to the outstanding voice of their leadsinger “Torul”. “Try” is the pre-single to the upcoming fullength “In Whole” which will set a new quality in the electropop genre! “Torul” a name to remember!

Press Info :
Electric Breathing was founded 2006 by Defcon One…

The music is settled between hellelectro and aggrotech…

Inspired by aggression and hatred it’s really aggrotech!..

Fast beats,aggressive synths, banging bases,rattling snares and very aggressive screaming singing with texts about misanthrophy, religion and perversities playing with irony and provocation, the lyrics are unique and not that kind, you may think reading the titles…

An audio apocalypse extraordinary, you can rarely experience…

2007 Ursus joined as live-support…

On stage, Electric Breathing abstains completly from using distortion, what makes the music even more expressive. Defon Ones live performance, expressing pure agressivity in dance, animate the audience to dance…

Press Info:
Having surprised everybody but themselves last time out with the Drained EP by Shifted, Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver is now ready to drop the gears and put the pedal firmly to the metal with the second installment of Luke’s Planetary Assault Systems “Deep Heet” Series.

Volume 1 of Planetary Assault Systems “Deep Heet”, released in March 2006, signaled the return of Planetary Assault Systems after a 5-year hiatus. The release of this second volume, exactly 5 years later to the day, marks the culmination of Slater’s Planetary Assault Systems tour that began in 2009 with the release of the “Temporary Suspension” album on Berlin label Ostgut Ton.

Comprising three state-of-the-art expeditions into deep space techno, Deep Heet Vol. 2 takes techno back to its primitive roots, adding details inspired by yet-tobe-explored points in the galaxy; only visible from Slater’s Spacestation Ø UK studio.

Sucktion opens the EP in glorious style. The basis being a powerfully hypnotic groove, the track evolves steadily, drawing the listener in completely before revealing its subtle, beautifully powerful, harmonic breakdown.

Mechanical and tense, Pow Wow combines the sonic dynamism of hollow reverberating rhythms with oscillating melodic loops which together create a tightly woven groove that ultimately implodes into a shrill explosion of frequencies

Raid closes out the EP with its shimmering minimalism crafting a calm contrast to the rest of the EP. Pulsing melodies and echoing chimes attract the focus while a heavy flat kick and spurts of firing hats add the necessary dancefloor momentum.
