Fire Of World EP

ITA:
Dalla Mona Records, grande crew spagnola, Kraust Sonido firma “Fire of World Ep”.
In “Earth “e “Damn Steel” l’energia ritmica della Roland 909 con tutti i suoi elementi, fusi a pads industriali profondi,
ci fanno ricordare sonorità tra The Advent e Ben Sims.
Mentre a “Fire of World” è affidato il lato ipnotico e lisergico dello stile dell’artista,
caratterizzato da bassi rotolanti, pads ripetitivi supportati da una ritmica dura e corposa dove nulla è lasciato al caso.

In the original versions of “Numero & Rumbite” the joint between rhythm, bass and pad, takes us back to an hypnotic “Old school” style, emphasizing the strong influence of Uk late 90s.
The remixes of Rumbite, by Ortin Cam and Bas Mooy, highlight and exploit the full power and hypnotic rhythm. From an even more minimal with the addition of continuous rolled progressive to a more “lysergic” through in a more aggressive and darker combined with a repetitive pad.
The remix of “Numero” is signed by Xpansul, a perfect in Detroit “Techno clubbing” style. with clear reference to the style of Jeff Mills’s Axis.
For a big Techno-Christmas!

The-Zone Records festeggia il natale 2014 con un grande regalo dalla Scotland
Rumbite Ep
5 tracce firmate da grandi nomi, dagli originali di Danny Smith, label owner della Clutch Traxx ed artista già conclamato da IDJ Magazine, ai 3 remixers, grandi nomi del mercato discografico internazionale come Xpansul, Ortin Cam e Bas Mooy già conosciuti su Plus 8, Abyss e More-Evolver.
Nelle versioni originali di ”Rumbite e Numero” l’incastro tra ritmica, bassi e pad, ci riporta ad uno stile ipnotico Old school sottolineando la forte influenza techno-industrial dell’isola britannica degli anni ’90.
I remixes di Rumbite, by Ortin Cam e Bas Mooy, evidenziano e sfruttano a pieno il potere ipnotico e ritmico dell’ original, da una visione ancora più’ minimale con l’aggiunta di continue rullate progressive, ad una visione più “lisergica” attraverso una sonorità più aggressive e scure unite a un pad ripetitivo.
Xpansul firma il remix di “Numero”, trasformandola in una track di stampo Detroit -Techno Clubbing di chiaro riferimento alla stile Axis di Jeff Mills.
Per un grande Techno-Natale!

The Ep opens with Luis Flores Remix that completely transforms the original Mnestic into a more “clubbing” version by enhancing the groove and the mentality, a perfect and elegant interlocking between voices and chords for a clear reminder of Detroit old school techno, but with whipping snare and other elements creating the perfect ambience in a “cerebral and spiritual traditions of the land of the Maya”.
Red Square is the second remix, with great technique, make Roaches full of hypnotism, through repetitive and mental pads combine with a sharp rhythmic creating a totally visionary track.

ITALIANO:
Dopo 2 anni d’attesa si torna al vinile|
Un grande viaggio sonoro che parte dall’Italia toccando Germania, in Olanda fino al Messico.
Differenti approcci nell’utilizzo delle macchine e differenti influenze, provenienti da 3 grandi nomi del mondo Techno internazionale come Alex Bau, Luis Flores e Red Square, si confrontano sullo stile delle original di Frankie Serious, grande cultore del suono analogico.
Mnestic / Roaches, 2 tracks ipnotiche e mentali dove voci sottili e bassi rotolanti supportate da ritmiche incalzanti creano un grande groove!
Il Lato A però si apre con il remix di Luis Flores: che trasforma completamente l’original, potenziando il groove e la mentalità di Mnestic rendendola “clubbing” attraverso un un perfetto gioco di incastro elegante tra voci e un accordo di chiaro richiamo old school techno Detroit, frustate di snare e sonagli il tutto a creare un’ambientazione spirituale e celebrale in perfetta tradizione  della terra dei Maia.
Nel Lato B invece la partenza è affidata a Red Square, con grandissima tecnica, carica la track di ipnotismo, attraverso pads ripetitivi e mentali “comunicanti” tra loro e incastrati su una ritmica tagliente creando un ambientazione totalmente visionaria.
L’ultimo remix, prima di Roaches original che chiude il disco, è quello di Alex Bau dalla Germania, dove la ritmica ed i bassi si gonfiano, diventando più potenti e duri creando un arduo lavoro per i subwoofer attraverso un chiaro richiamo alla stile “technoide” berlinese ma con una grande sorpresa, tutta da scoprire  nel mezzo della track, che solo la sua genialità poteva inventare.
Un disco che in realtà è tutta una grande sorpresa, track dopo track, negli stili e chiavi di lettura diverse di tre grandi artisti, su due original perfette!

[Giosuè Impellizzeri’s review]
La propensione per la Techno è inequivocabile, seppur di tanto in tanto l’etichetta capitolina abbia riservato qualche gradita sorpresa di taglio trasversale (Arz, ALH, TraXiss).
A quasi due anni dal “Prehypnotic EP” di Logotech, The-Zone Records torna a scommettere sulla plastica circolare, e lo fa attraverso Frankie Serious, che peraltro ha già occupato un numero del catalogo digitale col “Cells EP” del 2011. Romano anche lui, Francesco Seri è un patito di strumenti analogici e, ovviamente, di Techno, stile che per l’occasione convoglia in due brani: “Mnestic”, incessante crescendo di pathos e ritmo, e “Roaches”, contraddistinto da suoni quasi liquefatti sincronizzati su un pressante beat che non conosce esitazione.
Così come avvenuto per il citato EP di Logotech, il team di The-Zone lascia completare il lavoro a tre remixer d’eccezione: “Mnestic” viene ritoccata dal messicano Luis Flores, che ne attenua lievemente l’impatto, mentre a “Roaches” ci pensano prima l’olandese Sander van der Veer alias Red Square, con una versione in cui gli elementi vengono combinati geometricamente, e poi il tedesco Alex Bau che fa divampare le fiamme e fa grondare energia.
Un The-Zone davvero caldo, in cui la temperatura sale traccia dopo traccia.
La scelta del colore rosso nell’artwork, dunque, acquista un preciso significato.

 

The collaboration between The-Zone and the axis Richter-Japan continue with this new Techno production.
The two originals track “Natura Contro” and “Perceptions” by Richter, are an example of the great compositional technique and the continuous experimentation of Richter that adds to the classic style of dark-techno a groove nicely, where pads are supported by deep mental and consists of a rhythmic and percussive elements with voices almost imperceptible .
The 3 remixes are by artists who are now highly visible in the international electronic world:
Dj Wada completely distorts “Natura Contro” through riffs and melodic sounds coming from the culture of video games with the addition of samples of classic old school techno.
DavidChristoph accentuates the darker part in a more European style with a more sustained rhythm where the voice accompanies the journey of pads.
To close Dr.Shingo with his “Perceptions” remix, emphasizes the mental part of the art of Richter through a much more minimal interlocking rhythms powerful.
An EP not to be missed, with a techno of real quality !
