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.
REVIEW PHCK ‘Death Of A Butterfly’ [All Day I Dream]
PHCK have had a busy year releasing a multitude of original tracks and remixes. Regardless of quantity, the duo’s talents shine through in all their creations. Their latest original, Death of a Butterfly has been included in All Day I Dream’s Summer Sampler.
REVIEW Fort Romeau ‘Reasons’ [Fort Romeau]
Fort Romeau's newest self-released EP, Reasons, is packed with a variety of elements that perfectly encapsulate his sound.
REVIEW Daphni ‘Tin’ [Jiaolong]
Canadian DJ and producer, Daphni, also known as Caribou, will release a 27-track album for the fabriclive series.
REVIEW Cosime ‘Fyr (Maarten Mittendorff Mixes)’ [Nous’klaer Audio]
With an impressive list of releases from Nous’Klaer audio, it’s no surprise that Maarten Mittendorff’s remix is no different.
