CARGO012 / Sven Tasnadi – Lost in Chaos (EP)

wanttolearnmore — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:58:29 +0000

2009 is quite obviously Sven Tasnadi’s year, having already released five EPs this year on cream-of-the-crop labels like Pokerflat, Ornaments and Liebe*Detail. Each EP revealed a new facet of the Leipziger, riding the nuances between the 4/4 beat.
After his EP “Down Under Influence” with Juno6 in spring 2009, Tasnadi now dishes up his new Solo EP on Cargo Edition.
“What We Do” is a classic housetrack – very deep and peppered with vocal shots that hold the tension of the track over its whole length. It’s smooth, yet deliciously rough around the edges.
„Amour Fou“ on the B-Side surprises with a very compact rhythm – around the driving bass drum fly percussive elements, all tied together by a reduced bassline, some interspersed vocal samples and deep chords.

supported by: luciano, gregor tresher, martinez, michael reinboth, d’julz, tiefschwarz, russ gabriel, santos, ray okpara, mark henning, anthony collins, miss jools, delete, federico molinari, davide squillace, tim green, catz ‚n‘ dogz, deepchild, emerson todd, jimpster

tracklist:

A1: what we do
B1: amour fou

FATCD004 / Marek Hemmann – In Between (album)

wanttolearnmore — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:48:31 +0000

The first LP is always a reason to celebrate, and also grounds for elated expectation (for more, of course): and now, respect is in order because here is the double premier. The first LP from Marek Hemmann, the multifaceted electro-tinkerer near side of the Saale River, and as well the first CD-Long player from the house of FAT! We know Marek Hemmann is solo as well as half of the congenial duo Hemmann & Kaden, who for years have been the pillars of the new house & techno scene, both as producer and live act. The complete releases are in the meantime around a dozen; the innumerable remix business for colleagues from Trentemoeller to Monika Kruse can it be counted. After the most recent EP, the floor storming Gemini, it was clear that the time is now to get a load of the night fulfilling complete artwork. On to the in between. What Mr. Hemmann offers here on technoid material, despite the stacked title, is but a small universe. Not quite a snack, but rather right in the middle we find ourselves standing in an eclectic house-world, which in every corner offers a new discovery. From classic deep-droning dub epos over the frizzed-up house with Bossa shots and demanding horn action up to highly complex sample tone-art. Yes, it is a long trip through techno-land; one in which Marek takes us along, and one which it must be said, is quite wonderful. In the best way. With a round of wholly comprehensive melancholy, it comes over us like a sunrise through the broken club doors after a completely danced-through night. That happens often enough, but for the swinging beauty and manually-labored final touch, flashes forth Mr. Hemmann’s golden hands, bringing back the hypnotic bass lines. The humming monotony lives, as does the subconscious when it says to us: Stay! Move your azz! And look, what beauteous northern melodies there on the horizon. Then the sun arises. Blazing through those same – broken club doors… Thank you Mr. Hemmann!
