Silencer by Stephan Panev

dosio — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:14:49 +0000

It has been quite some time since Stephan Panev released new music under his own name. After his work on several side projects and his latest album as Define One, he returns with the 2012 EP: Silencer.

A collection of four brand new tracks which all embed the trademarks of Stephan Panev. Solidly founded in the field of Techno accompanied by beautiful melodies that won’t let you go so easily.

Artist: Stephan Panev
Title: Silencer EP
Catalogue No.: TAM07
Label: This Ain’t Music
Formats: MP3, WAV
Release Date: 25.04.2012

Tracks:

1. Komponent A
2. Komponent B
3. Melt
4. Silencer

The EP’s first two tracks Komponent A & Komponent B were originally planned as one track, but as the production enfolded, were split. The first part is more based on its beat structure creating a trip for the listener by using repetitive effects and structures all over. The second track alternates the rhythm slightly and drifts a bit further into the darkness signaled by Stephan Panev’s trademark: the haunting bells. Dub-Techno at its best.

Melt changes the mood by going in a more melancholic direction. A beautiful piano figure outstretches over the track underlined with mystique synths. The beat works as a nice contrast and gives the track its pace, well-known aspect of Stephan Panev’s work.

The title track Silencer marks the conclusion of the EP. Combining styles and elements of the three previous tracks Silencer creates a beautiful symbiosis. The track has a heavier emphasis on the rhythm structure and slowly develops the atmosphere with melodic elements, which build momentum and intensity until the end.

With a catchy vocal sample in the middle of the track and distinct synth lines, it is a useful tool with the word cool written all over it.

The first remix comes from England and more specific from, man-of the-moment, Gavin Herlihy. With this remix is showing us once again why is considered one of the best house/techno producers of his generation. Dark, melancholic and melodic techno with the right house drops – a small masterpiece for the after hours. Deepness, haunted atmosphere and a tremendous build up makes this tune one of the best Quantized has ever released.

Their ‘My Real Name Is’ track and remix of Dirty Mongrel were a standout tracks on the first instalment of John Digweed‘s Structures series; while their two versions of ‘Too Much Space’ on the Bedrock 12 compilation showed their highly original and deep understanding of the power of melody. Now they return to Bedrock with the superb ‘Everybody Loves Ice Cream’ EP.

Pitch Black EP by Mobthrow

dosio — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:45:18 +0000

The 8th release on Mindtrick Records will be by the Greek producer and sound engineer Mobthrow (http://mobthrow.com/). Angelos Liaros a.k.a. Mobthrow just released his full length self-titled debut album on Adnoiseam and now is ready for his first 12” release.

The vinyl release brings in a somewhat deeper feeling to the sound of Mobthrow, starting out with “Pitch Black” on side A. The 2nd track is “Flashback” and is based in rewind mirror techniques (intro sample remains the same if you rewind it). Heavy beats at 140 bpm, a story between dreams and reality, as the storyteller (Mulholland drive sample) describes.

“Enter Dubcore” sets the tempo a little bit higher, balancing between Dubstep and Drum & bass. Techy production approach (808,909 & TB303 used), born to spin in underground clubs at rush hour. Also on the B side you will find a remix of “Pitch Black” which is made by German sound designer and composer Hecq which cranks up the sound completely and make you slit your own wrists while listening to it!

Cadenza Vagabundos Ibiza 2011

dosio — Fri, 20 May 2011 09:33:41 +0000

Roll up! roll up! Let the festivities commence…

Like the hobos of Beat mythology who rode the freight trains ever westwards chasing that elusive harvest, Luciano’s own band of vagabonds finally return after a busy winter to their spiritual home on Ibiza. Having brought their unique vision of carnivalesque mayhem to various corners of the world, they once more settle in at the island’s premier night-spot, Pacha. Confounding expectations last year, Luciano successfully transformed the club into the unmissable destination of the Ibiza season with the combined power of Cadenza musical muscle and the raucous concept of the Vagabundos party itself. Stepping out from something akin to a Brueghel tableau, the lights, the sounds, the wild-eyed costumed dancers cavorting to the beat, Vagabundos come together to create that heightened feeling of nervous energy, like that of a child giddy at his very first fair.

…the Cadenza stable close at hand, including Reboot, Michel Cleis, Cesar Merveille, Robert Dietz, Mirko Loko, Ernesto Ferreyra, Mendo, Rhadoo, Alex Picone, Maayan Nidam, Argy, Lee Van Dowski, Frivolous live, Andrea Oliva, Digitaline, Marc Antona, and Felipe Venegas live + many special guests behind the decks.
