"Late At Night" featured on Ryan Elliott's new Panorama Bar mix...

i am super proud to announce that i am part of the Ryan Elliott Panorama Bar mix cd - with my track "Late At Night" (under the artist name It's Not Over) being included in this mix.

Mr Elliott is one of my favourite dj's and the legendary P Bar is one of my favourite places to dance (and play!) so i'm very happy to be part of this project.

the version in this mix is a different "VIP" version that was never released but that if you've heard Ryan or myself play in the last year or so, then you may recognise it...

finally- massive props to Ryan and the Berghain / Panorama Bar crew for putting together an interesting and, most importantly, forward thinking, mix.

you can check out Ryan's mix, HERE...
and hear the original of "Late At Night", HERE...

The Korner...

looking forward to playing another all night long set for this limited series of party's, in the small but perfectly formed Berghain Kantine...

Groove Magazine (DE) review my new ep...

Sunday, 11 May 2014

4Clubbers (UK) review my remix ep...

Spencer Parker’s Work Them imprint has quickly built a reputation for unreconstructed dance music that flits between house and techno, enlisting the likes of Dana Ruh, Pittsburgh Track Authority, S:VT and Radio Slave alongside original work from the Berlin-based DJ and producer. Following the label head’s EP in March, Parker enlists Patrick Graser and Aaron Siegel in their Answer Code Request and FIT guises to sprinkle their own dust over the thumping techno of Spacial and Faster Forward’s classic piano house leanings.

Spacial’s brooding, metallic techno is reworked by Answer Code Request to great effect in his Remix, toning down most aspects of Parker’s original with a modern techno cut full of warmth and energy. Filling the EQs with layered, effected synths and plump, muddled percs, it eases off the menace of the original, giving it a purposeful, relentless character. His ‘Loop Mix’ strips away the drums, giving the interweaved elements room to breathe.
The FIT Remix of ‘Faster Forward’ subverts the original’s house aethsetic into a shuffling, off-kilter mix that focuses on the piano and pads’ melodies and envelops them in broken percussive loops, adding a dream-like glow to its lofty intentions.

The Jaguar knows what's up...

many thanks to DJ Rolando for including my "Spacial" single TWICE in his latest mix for Trax Magazine (FR)...

Data Transmission review the remixes of my latest EP...

7/10

The beginning of 2014 saw the end of Spencer Parker's It's Not Over project but avid listeners of his boundless house and heavy duty techno satisfied their appetite for new material when Parker released his EP The Moment Not The Memory in March (with support from the likes of Dave Clarke and Danny Krivit). Well now it's had the remix treatment from two of the scenes most in demand producers...
First of the three tracks is Answer Code Request's remix of Spacial. An uncompromising techno number from the outset; broad and heavy bass pumps life into this track at an unrelenting frequency. However, it proves its melodic abilities as it invites arpeggiated fuzzy synths, accompanied by tight yet dampened notes. It remains consistent and somewhat uneventful, but delivers in its purpose of a club-ready track that's fit to make an audience burst. DJs wanting to give this mesmeric track a lick of their own paint can make use of the beatless loop.
FIT's remix of Faster Forward takes a turn from the previous track and retreats to a melancholic cove. Slightly offbeat pangs have backup from alluring, drawn out house-synths and dashes of high-hat that are, though subtle, carry the track through. Modest yet timeless piano keys dodge in and out as a grooving bassline swims underneath. This nine-minute track reaches full circle as it closes with its introductory notes; a sound that belongs in a closing set.
