Sasha Wins & Igor Shep – Charoplet EP Part 2 (Incl. Zadig Remix)

Category: Release | Wednesday 28 April 2010

Signaletik Records continues its momentum of duets after Warren Fellow & Michael Steinbach and French Danzca, the label has set her sights on a duet from Belarus, Sasha Wins & Igor Shep. This collaboration is very special because, first, contains two original tracks and two remixes, and secondly, it is in two volumes. Each will find the version of those titles that best match their musical aspirations.

This second volume, which may be called “Remixes”, includes two titles. After a remix of Charoplet by Maetrik on the first volume, two other artists bring a new vision of this track.

The duo Guillom & Benales, after their remix of Blackwind of Egor Boss, signs a second remix on the label. These two artists from Lille are not unknown. Guillom was raging for many years in this region as a resident DJ of the Sound Of Sand parties, as well in 2006, his participation and victory in the contest “Kozzmozz” which opened the way for a booking at Vooruit as young talent in the event of the same name, or his participation in “French Music Man Tour 2008″. Guillom combines the caps as he is also the Label Manager of Signaletik Records. Benales is a young regional prodigy, winner of the contest “Young Talent” at the NAME Festival. Two “shocking” artists of a remix which is just as much. The slamming kick and snares in agreement with cymbals precede a powerful melody that creates a heavy atmosphere on background of effects smoothly done! This techno remix looks like a techno mix done Joey Beltram style! A second remix, a second success.

Zadig, true to himself, offers us minimized and marital techno. With a powerful kick and a severe bassline sticking around 125 BPM, this remix is worthy of being played at Berghain in Berlin. It is very similar in the line of Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann or Norman Nodge. The assortment of rhythmic rises gently to explode the eardrums at long and strong the break. A remix that will lure many fans!

Sasha Wins & Igor Shep – Charoplet EP (incl. Maetrik & Mark Broom Remix)

Category: Release | Thursday 15 April 2010

Signaletik Records continues its momentum of duets after Warren Fellow & Michael Steinbach and French Danzca, the label has set her sights on a duet from Belarus, Sasha Wins & Igor Shep. This collaboration is very special because, firstly, it contains two original tracks and two remixes, and secondly, it is in two volumes. Each will find the version of those titles that best match their musical aspirations.

The two original tracks, “Charoplet” and “Give Me Beat, Freaaaaaks!”, are two tracks tailored for the dancefloor and cause the universal enthusiasm of a crowd in the dark. Atmospheric and mental, they have a side air that leaves no one indifferent. “Charoplet” is rocked by layers of synths with drums carefully measured to ensure the effect. “Give Me Beat Freaaaaaks!” resumed the recipe but in a more open way with a metallic voice that takes us into a world away from home, a world full of bass, rhythm and clubbers.

Mark Broom reiterates once again its trust by signing a new remix on this release. His version of “Give Me Beat Freaaaaaks!” is not a small lace of coffee table but without any hesitation, a title: techno! Kick, snare, heavy bassline, rhythmic sequences and filtered sequences to provide a sufficient impulse to announce a devastating and atmospheric break. A brilliant remix by its excellence that does not alter the original but offers a different vision.

Maetrik, despite his new project Maceo Plex, also signed a remix on this release. This artist is a master in the entirely reworked sequences and we can hear it! Techno ambiance, the sounds are crushed and refurbished before being sublimated to a record filled with a specific groove that can only reach the public. This remix, closer to the edit, is rich in emotion, including only the voice of the original! The many sounds are clear and distinct as layers made to get you moving on the catwalk and a break that will not leave you insensitive!

My name is Felix Bernhardt. I’m 24 years old and I’m producing “driving minimal techno” for clubs respectively for dancefloor.

How was your passion for electronic music born?

At an early age I was fascinated of techno music when I was present at some techno parties. This music has deeply impressed me that I decided to compose it.

Where do you find your inspiration?

Really everywhere. But mostly at long club-party-nights inspired by the crowd.

Felix Bernhardt – The Wireless Beat EP

Category: Release | Friday 9 April 2010

After its first digital release, Needles & Fibers EP, by the Ukrainian Egor Boss, Signaletik Records/Digital relapses with a fine way offering the new productions of the German Felix Bernhardt. Like the first release, the Lille label hopes once again to provide international exposition for a young artist.

Felix Bernhardt is characterized by his Minimal sound which is very impulsive, indeterminate and sizzling. His productions came out on various German labels (Hardshower, Afulab or Hardshower) until now. This artist was also noted by another project, The Minimal Synthetic, a compilation containing 700MB of sample Minimal. He is not only a talented producer but also a DJ who has mixed alongside names such as DJ Hell, Laurent Garnier and George Morel. This multi-faceted artist has the word “dancefloor” as sole leitmotiv.

Leitmotiv that he keeps alive once again with three explosive techno tracks grouped together on this EP, The Wireless Beat. The title track is a ruthless efficiency taking even the most reluctant to move thanks to its heavy bass and ambience both intriguing and captivating. The title Polter Geist continues on the path of this incentive to move with Deep Minimal sounds in the deep bass and strings of white noise throughout the track. This title challenges dancers into the most secluded corners of the dancefloor. Blunt Ball takes us into a world most hypnotic and darkening with the low grunting bass and this sensation of filling the void surrounding us. This EP leaves no respite and will tire more than one clubber.
