NEXT RELEASES: JAN 2010 ON SPORTCLUB MUSIC & GET PHYSICAL
January 18th 2010 marks the 22nd release from Axel Bartsch's imprint Sportclub Music - a new EP
collaboration from a powerhouse group of Berlin based producers that is nothing less than
MASSIVE! Each of these three cuts of tech house mastery brings you a dazzling variation of
the title track 'BLAM AND FLOW' by Axel Bartsch, featuring vocals by Jake the Rapper.
The opening track "Blam and Flow [Hunt Version]" sets the tone for tension. Jake "The
Rapper" Basker tells us the story of a wolf who only wants to explain his psyche - the
predator in all of us. Axel Bartsch's signature minor key melodic minimalism is embellished
lightly by percussive elements and just the right amount of hip shake. The occasional
otherworldly arpeggio rips a vast seam through the hypnotic groove...this is techno!
Come back from the cosmos and into the club with the next track, "Blam and Flow [All the
Beast Version]". The melody variates between pulsating menace and sweet seduction with
intermittent velvety harmonies. The wolf is back, and this time he's a bit hungrier. Thick
warm synths fill the space with electric heat while a drum machine taps along at top speed.
Occasional swooshes of frequencies explode in the background.
Rounding out the EP with a mammoth club remix is the highly respected Thomas
Schumacher (Get Physical). Turn this one up to "11", you'll understand why! This is sexy,
booty shaking big room music. Jake the Rapper's voice booms over the dance floor above
tremor inducing sub bass, kept in time with a bone crushing clap.
A fourth previously unreleased track by Axel Bartsch, "Cuarenta Y Tres Con Leche",
recorded during his 2008 album sessions will also be available as a digital only bonus.
Shadowy groove meets unconventional melodies and swells of ghostly voices.
Joris Voorn: Will play the Thomas Schumacher Remix for sure.
Monika Kruse: Aki and Jake! What a nice team!!!! Including a remix of Thomas .... what else do you need to make your hips move?!!!! :) Support!!!!
Darko Esser: The Schumacher mix is HUUUGE!! Every sound right on the spot!
Christian Smith: I like! Druggy and groovy! Great package!
Ivan Smagghe: I like the original Hunt version! Will support.
Varoslav: I like the Hunt version a lot. Will play it!
Deetron: All the Beast Version for me!
Ewan Pearson: Like the Hunt version and the Schumacher too!!
Also supported by Loco Dice, Anja Schneider, Paco Osuna, Varoslav, Timo Maas, D. Ramirez, Tom Findlay, Tiger Stripes, Raresh, Gregor Tresher...!
Only For DJs Mag (FR): Hunt version is HUGE!
Raveline (GER): Axel Bartsch holt sich stimmliche Unterstützung. Jake The Rapper ist
in diesem Sinne wohl eine der besten Adressen in Clubland.
Bei der "Hunt Version" von "Blam and Flow" sorgt die Mischung aus
beschwörenden wie obendrein sehr lässigen Vocals, dicken Beats und
bedrohlicher Grundstimmung für eine gewisse Eingängigkeit.
Mit der Synthline der "All The Beast Version" kann man ebenfalls nicht
viel falsch machen. Spartanisch staubt und
saugt sich hingegen der "Thomas Schumacher Remix" durch seine
Spielzeit. Die Vocals wirken durch ihre Freilegung noch mehr entrückt.
Als digital only Bonus gräbt zum Schluss der äußerst runde Bass von
"Cuarenta Y Tres Con Leche" den Floor noch mal komplett um, added paar
Synthmelodien und klingt beinahe sakral.
OUT NOW - ODDVAR 'FOR LOVERS' EP TRACKLISTING:
01 Love Me
02 Without You
03 Slave to the Bar
04 The Secret (feat. Jens Bond)
Oddvar is the man of the hour! Entrancing club kids in his native Berlin, his productions are characterized by light-tempered grooves and lively Mediterranean charm. Having already won over the A&R of Kammer Music, Time Has Changed and Pour le Mérite, Oddvar is now joining the Sportclub team with a sparkling new 4-track EP called 'For Lovers'.
The EP opens with "Love Me". Commanding vocals ride a percussive house groove, asking you for one last dance on the beach. A taste of the summer, this track has the funk! “Without You” sounds sad, but on the contrary it's a fresh house tune that fascinates with tense strings and soulful melodies. If you've ever been there, you know what it's like to be a “Slave to the Bar”! In his homage to the Bar 25, Oddvar invokes
the same sonic spirit heard throughout the club when it’s in full swing. Last but not least there is “The Secret”, a collaboration between Oddvar and producer Jens Bond (who gained world wide fame with his releases on Pokerflat, Highgrade and Sender Records.) This track showers the good vibes across the club and massages your midsection with its deep bassline. Just how we like it!
'FOR LOVERS' FEEDBACK: DJ REACTIONS, RADIO REPORTS & PRESS
LUCIANO "Will play!"
HOT CHIP "Nice tracks!"
ELLEN ALLIEN "Love me is fun. Coolio, will play it!"
RUSSELL DEEKS [IDJ MAG] "A four-track EP of some rather pleasing house music. Slave To The Bar has slight nods to old skool Chicago, while Without You – the standout for me by far – has some nice organ sounds and a kind of leftfield garage feel. Love Me and (Jens Bond collab) The Secret, meanwhile, are just nice looping club grooves."
PRESIDENT BONGO/GUS GUS "Oddvar and Jens Bond! The Secret is safe!"
AUDIOFLY "Great EP, we like all the tracks here!"
MARCO RESMANN "Well done Oddvar, very cool 4 tracker. Full support!"
ITALOBOYZ "Slave to the Bar is very cool!"

NERDY FRAMES [NEW ZEALAND] "Perfect and velvety smooth like all good house should sound. It doesn’t demand for your affection, it does it slowly for you while you’re dancing."
PAUL HAMILL [BBC RADIO ULSTER] "Really nice old skool flavas that'll work well on many a dancefloor."
PHILIP SHERBURNE [PITCHFORK/THE WIRE/XLR8R] "I like the disco/classic house feel of Without You, those vox are really nice. The Secret is dope too."

Was gibt es schöneres als sich an kalten Novembertage mal richtig einheizen zulassen. An die grandiose Sommernacht mit Jenn aus Berlin erinnern wir uns noch alle gern zurück. Als die bezaubernde Jenn das Limitpublikum in Verzückung versetzte. Jenn ist DJane, Produzentin und Labelbesitzerin. Eine Frau die straight ihren Weg verfolgt und keine Spur von Langweile aufkommen lässt. Ihr Dj Style ist ein groovig tanzbarer Mix aus Minimal-Techno mit einer Prise Minimal-Pop/House. Gerade zurück von seiner Italien Tour und mit viel Sonne im Gepäck ist Spedro wieder mit dabei.
