REVIEW Red Axes ‘The Beach Goths’ [Garzen Records]
From hard rock to dance-floor music, the Tel-Aviv based duo, Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi, widely known as Red Axes, stand out as eclectic DJs and sophisticated producers. With 'The Beach Goths', they release the first album on their label Garden Records.
REVIEW Jimpster ‘Step By Step’ [SUOL]
Freerange and Delusions of Grandeur labels-owner Jamie Odell has been around for quite a while - a well-traveled Londoner, highly-acclaimed, frequently-worshipped – pretty much what it takes to be able to produce and release - a jaunty and self-confident track.
REVIEW Red Axes ‘Sun My Sweet Sun (Konstantin Sibold Afro Tech Remix)’ [Permanent Vacation]
Konstantin Sibold has crafted a steady reputation as one of Germany’s most proficient producers in the recent years. As his earlier productions mostly focused on House music, it was the year 2016 that marked a milestone for the German producer.
REVIEW Patrice Bäumel + Danny Daze & Shokh ‘Speicher 98’ [Kompakt Extra]
Cologne based label Kompakt Extra is back with its latest Speicher 98 EP that features new cuts from Patrice Bäumel and Danny Daze & Shokh and unites two of the label‘s artist that were resonsible for its musical highlights in 2016.
REVIEW Henrik Schwarz ‘Take Words in Return (Jimi Jules Remix)’ [Watergate Records]
Swiss artist Jimi Jules has been delivering quality music throughout the past month. His latest remix duties led the artist to take on Henrik Schwarz‘ classic tune ‘Take Words in Return‘ that quickly became a Sonar Festival anthem and has ever since been played out by, well, basically everyone.
REVIEW Manoo & Raoul K feat. Ahmed Sosso ‘Toukan EP’ [Innervisions]
Arguably one of the top releases of the year, Innervisions’s ‘Toukan EP’ is making waves. With two works by boss-man Dixon and one by Portuguese producer, Trikk, the three tracks are surely to be in every DJ’s record-box across the globe.
REVIEW DJ Tennis feat. Fink ‘Certain Angels’ [!K7]
Continuing the two-decade old legacy, DJ Tennis has recently put out his take on the DJ-Kicks album. The two-disc, sixteen-track track compilation includes tracks by not on the Life and Death label-head himself, but artists such as Caribou, Red Axes and Traumprinz.
REVIEW Cleveland ‘Kyoto’ [ESP Institute]
Cleveland’s ‘Kyoto’ EP is a nice follow-up to his recent remix streak where he’s reimagined tracks by Roosevelt, Benjamin Fröhlich and Abstraxion. The young producer seems to have the world on his mind as both track named after – Kyoto (Japan) and Coimbra (Portugal).
REVIEW &ME ‘Avalon EP’ [Keinemusik]
&ME‘s path has gone up ever since he moved to Berlin back in 2004, which marked the beginning of his musical career in the spotlight of the electronic music. With his very first Keinemusik release, ‘F.I.R.‘, Andre Boadu, how close friends call &ME, set quite high standards for following releases, but disappointed neither his audience nor DJs.
