Red Cloud EP

Andreas Florin, young yet already the representative of the European Dark-Techno Movement presents an EP all based around the track “Red Cloud”.Collaborating with some of the best DJ’s on the scene remixes are provided by the likes of Niereich vs Mike Ban & Dietmar Wohl , Kuniaki Takenaga , David Christoph , Ambivalent and Gabeen.

Tracks all focusing on the deep and  industrial sound which is currently hot in the Dark techno record market.

This type of music is more examples of the self defined “a mixture of all kinds of Techno-elements” motion, echoing such artists as The Advent, Jeff Mills, and other names of the Detroit Scene, its source of inspiration coming from its first encounters with electronic music.

From all the remixes the unique sound of all the artists is clear.

Kuniaki Takenaga and Niereich vs Mike Ban & Dietmar Wohl focus on the bass and drums of a track that reverberate throughout calling on many of the original sounds of the famous city of Detroit, the city that gave birth to Techno.

Other artists like DavidChristoph and Ambivalent focus more on transforming the track into one perfect for the clubbing scene. Whereas Gabeen remixes his tracks with a stronger bpm, harder drums and a deeper base that leaves no respite.

All the versions differ greatly, but all guaranty to send the dance floor crazy.

This is an EP that will leave a mark!

THE-ZONE returns to the sound of Techno. Frankie Serious presents an eclectic 6 tracks EP that involves different subgenres, but with a common attention to the different forms of nowadays Techno.

Everything is enhanced by elements coming from analog synths that warm up the sound and feed it with soul. From the opening first track called “HYBRIS”, where synths and “timestretching” experimentations draw an immediate energetic drive, to the dark and hypnotic sound built up on a deep bassline from the following track: “NOVA”.

“CELLS”, the track which gives the name to the whole EP, sounds personal and intimate: the minimal and hypnotic rhythmic matrix creates a substrate that supports a melodic sharp synth-lead.

“SUBCOLOURS” is a great impact track: dark techno built on a deep bassline, strictly oriented to the dancefloor.

The last 2 tracks are “SONAV” and “RES”: the first one is really essential and, in a different way, “old style”: obviously techno, with some classic percussive elements from past drum machines; the last track, “RES”, is the dirtiest one, including a massive kick that confirms and emphasizes a release which THE-ZONE RECORDS is proud to propose you.

Electro is the music of robots, and robots, nowadays, are conquering the Russia, with the help of newcomer ALH.

Hard to believe that this debut EP is coming from the East, where ice and lowest temperatures have the power during the full year.

Every track has something of special, a kaleidoscope with a lot of influences: from Detroit Electro (Dx Game, Igm) with a lot of basses, synthetic melodic lines and synchopated rhythms, to Breaks and Breakbeat (Last Rave, Apparatus) via Electro Techno in drexciyan mode with Acid influences (Cyborg, Nationalist), which sounds as the perfect mix between music from sea and music coming from the laboratories of mad scientist.

Have you ever think to robot zar who brings new music to Kremlin and Red Square?

Axel Karakasisis is the undisputed king of Greek techno. Renowned not only for his amazing live 3 deck sets, he has releases dating back over the last 10 years – many of which have been techno chart toppers.

Here we find Greek Axel collaborating with The Zone Records from Rome, akin to ancient empire’s colliding, only great things can

On this the fifteenth release from The Zone Records, Axel’s signature sound can be found in all three originals.

“Been Watching you” is a track which will be played everywhere throughout the summer of 2011 and beyond, with its definitive bass bounce, punching perc and superfly groove.

Crazy tech rythym and pounding sounds grow into a crescendo of sonic rapture that are bound to keep all techno heads happy.

“Bite” raises the tempo a little and gives you a glimpse inside the head of Karakasis and what the man is capable of, with its sumptuous synth work and hardcore drum machine workouts -“Bite” is relentless and not for the faint hearted.

“Restricted Flow” is milder than the other two tracks, and is perfect stuff for getting a dance floor going with its infectious melody
and undeniable head nodding hypnotism.

This release offers a track for the start, middle and end of your night – the shame is you won’t want the night to end.

The Zone Records fourteenth release is, unsurprisingly, the calibre you have learned to expect from Italia’s No.1 hard hitting and forth right techno label.

“Hard hitting” is apt, as it’s another way of Saying “Impact”, Niereich’s new release on The Zone Records.

2010 saw Niereich break into the techno scene in a big way with his no-nonsense style of pounding kicks, hissing percussion and grand spatial sound settings.

“Impact” sees Niereich offer two original but distinctly different versions of the title track “Impact”, and sees him joined on the release by no less then Go!diva and Michael Schwarz, providing some quality reworks of the original.

Impact V1 immediately get’s to work on your aural synapses with immense sounding industrial style hisses which toy with the mind’s mental picture of this futuristic sonic strain.

With a rising siren throughout this is sure to cause cerebral chaos in even the most dedicated techno listener.

Impact V2 bangs big from the get go, again steam releasing Niereich’s signature hisses over fat kicks and crispy percussion. Well-crafted synths collide to create a track fit for space travel or getting a dance floor ripe for some hedonistic mayhem.

The remix by Michael Schwarz is bound to delight the bass hungry with his relentless rework of Version 1 whilst Go!diva’s take is pure filth embodied with its distorted synth lines and colossal tones.
