Look-Alike – „Kunterbuntes Aus Natur EP“ (Love Hertz 033)
Out on Beatport Dec 11th 2009/ All other stores: Jan 8th 2010
From the very first demos to his first remixes for the latest Love Hertz releases we strongly believed in the creative talents of Berlin-based dj, producer and promoter Look-Alike. With his first official solo EP „Kunterbuntes Aus Natur“ he succesfully provs us right.and delivers three super original tracks on the cusp of tech house and post-minimalism with an undeniably psychedelic „Berlin flavor“.
The opener „Lachen Im Garten“ kicks off with funky organ sounds topped by crazy crowd noises, the classic „Are you done mixing yet?“-sample and a strange but funny children's voice representing the housier side of this EP. The tracks also recieved a stunning remix treatment by Berlin's Beaner who recently made some bigger waves with really dope output on District of Corruption and, of course, the legendary Bar 25 imprint. His interpretation is pure stripped down funky bliss for those who like their music with that certain freaky type of swagger.
The second original track on the EP, „Edward's Traubentraum“, delves into techier territory with quirky lo-fi loops and some crazy ideas on the arrangement side of things while „Ich Steh Im Wald“ with it's mad flute hook may be the most accessible tune of the EP. The latter comes along with two remixes by Look-Alike's close friends from The Third Nerd project. Their „Asia Edit“ & „Lesson 2“ versions focus on the prominent hook while providing different takes on the rhythmical structure and overall feel of the track.

Seit 2008 arbeiten die drei Macher (daAura & Autodeep) des hannoverschen Labels erfolgreich an ihrer gemeinsamen Vision, kompromisslosen und individuellen Soundideen im Spannungsfeld von Deep House und Minimal-Techno eine weltweite Plattform zu bieten.
Die bisherigen Releases konnten Love Hertz durch den Support von namhaften Szene-Größen wie Luciano, Paco Osuna, Sis, Timo Maas, Rober Dietz, Someone Else, Tom Pooks, Anderson Noise, Arnaud Le Texier, Lee Van Dowski, Luciano Esse, Phonogenic, Gene Le Fosse, Nils Nürnberg, Toni Rios, Matt Star uvm. als feste Größe und Anlaufstelle für DJ's und Clubber auf der Suche nach Cutting Edge-Sounds fernab des Mainstreams etablieren.
Der Fokus des Labels liegt dabei auf der Entdeckung sowie dem Aufbau von frischen nationalen und internationalen Talenten in Kombination mit ausgewählten Releases und Remixes bereits etablierterer Produzenten wie u.a. Deepchild (Get Physical / Freerange / Anabatic), Microdinamic (Terminal M / Polar Noise), Stipé (Mitu) Dandi & Ugo (Great Stuff / Italo Business) und Marco Dassi (Minus / Hell Yeah).
Der Sound des Labels reflektiert das aktuelle Geschehen in den Clubs ebenso wie eine tiefe Verbundenheit zu den musikalischen Pionieren des House und Techno aus Detroit, Chicago und UK. Love Hertz-Veröffentlichungen lassen sich nur schwer in die genre-typischen, stereotypen Schubladen wie House, Minimal oder Techno einordnen - allen gemein ist jedoch der Anspruch solide stilistische Ästhetik mit frischen und musikalisch vielfältigen Ideen zu, nicht zwingend revolutionären, aber dafür umso deeperen und packenderen, Klangwelten zusammenzuführen.
Love Hertz Recordings (Hannover / Germany)
After nearly a decade of intense work in the music industry long time friends and partners Ulli Hammann and Hagen Pfennigstorf aka Autodeep stepped up with their very own electronica label called Love Hertz in early 2008.
The label's distinctive, yet genre-clashing, deep Tech House sound soon established the imprint as a recognizable force for quality club sound. Love Hertz' high profile output already gained support from international top players like Luciano, SIS, Timo Maas, Paco Osuna, Len Faki, Len Faki, Gregor Tresher, Robert Dietz, Someone Else, Ilario Alicante, Lee Van Dowski and many more.
A strong in-house roster of upcoming international talents combined with remixes by prolific producers like Kruse & Nürnberg (8Bit/Liebe Detail), Deepchild (Get Physical / Freerange), Microdinamic (Terminal M / Polar Noise), Stipé (Mitu / Be Chosen), Beaner (Bar 25) and lots more the present as well as the future look bright for the Hannover based venture.
Love Hertz' approach reflects the current underground club sound as well as a deep respect for the pioneers of electronic music from Detroit, Chicago and the UK. With its steady output of high quality releases the label is considered a tried and tested outlet for quality underground dance music ranging from deep house to minimalistic tech sounds.
So better be prepared for versatile and forward-thinking releases from a label that obviously doesn't care about contemporary stereotypes and musical limitations- it's all about the love for electronic music and sweaty clubs!
Love Hertz.
