Hi there,
I recently posted 4 new d&b tracks (ranging between old-school and jump-up)
Give it some time, my tracks usually get a strange twist halfway.

We get the new year off to a fine start with a return for Offworld veteran InTaKe with some delicious new beats.
Title track Forever sets the mood for the ep and is a solid dark edged stepper with off beat bass and mid stabs peppered with catchy vocal hooks and a sweet drop.
Chase continues the vibe with stepping drums ,filtered vocals which open up, memorable synth hooks and mid stabs.
My Mind has a laid back deep house vibe with deep sub, rasping wubs, vocal bites and otherworldly atmospheres.
Closing out the ep we have the The Way You Move - a brooding stepper with tense atmospheres, great melodies and vocals.
Look out for more InTaKe soon with a collaborative ep with Secret Structures coming soon.

For the end of the year we have something special with a debut ep from new artist LVR.
LVR (Liam van Rijn) has been producing electronic music for over ten years and now his focus is on drum and bass which is firmly rooted in the melodic side and the crossroads between cinematic and electronic.

Title track Skin opens the ep with sweet melodies, a deep bass and modulated mids with a catchy vocal.
No One keeps up the uplifting momentum with warm deep bass, driving drums and bass peppered with vocal stabs and enveloping gated pads and riffs.
All I Need closes out the ep and is a warm stepper with touches of piano and vocal,solid drums and memorable melodies.

Sub Berlin - The Story of Tresor (Documentary, 2012)


Subvert Central    No Replies

+ToRMeNT+, 7th December 2023, 05:21



Dimitri's 2023 cut of the classic documentary from 2012 in memory of Regina Baer.

"Regina would have been 57 years old today. She left far too soon. To mark her birthday, I have uploaded the film documenting the early days of Tresor until its demise at Leipziger Strasse 126. This era is inextricably linked to her. Regina was a special person and the person who I was closest to, and who accompanied me for many years.

She was the person I trusted the most. I could always rely on Regina. She advised me well in all matters and stood by me, even in difficult times. Regina helped build up Tresor and characterised it with her own style. Without her, Tresor would be a different club.

The film is a special contemporary document and illustrates the failure of those politically and financially responsible at the time, who simply sold the historic property with the surviving steel chamber of the former Jewish department stores' Wertheim to one of the nameless development companies. 15 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they had still not recognised the potential of the newly emerging nightlife culture that is so important today. Tilmann Künzel's film, is a masterfully executed work with lots of material from the Tresor archive.

I would like to dedicate this film to Regina and thus keep her memory alive.

The history of the Tresor would be different without her, without her energy, drive, vision, creativity, discipline and ability to inspire and motivate others. She was one of those strong women who knew exactly what they wanted in a scene that was often still very male-dominated at the time - and who never let even the biggest machos intimidate her. As manager of Globus and Tresor (from 1991 to 2005), she steered and shaped the company. Later, she played a key role in shaping Kraftwerk - even when she was already battling her illness.

Her advice was always the most important to me, and if I didn't follow her advice, it often turned out to be a mistake in hindsight. She was incorruptible, unpretentious, straightforward and clear-sighted like few others.
Her true spirit was as convincing as it was infectious, as countless artists, Tresor visitors, employees and friends can attest.

She lived, loved and managed Tresor and nightlife - and mostly thought of others and the future: she founded the Tresor Foundation with me (whose board of trustees she chaired) so that cultural venues such as Kraftwerk and Tresor could be protected from speculation and live on for a long time. She has so often resolved tricky situations, never allowed herself to be confused even in the greatest chaos and always kept her cool. She never avoided an argument if it served the cause. She listened to her employees, time and time again. Which really left a lasting impression on my memory…

She was so open, honest, human and compassionate and one of the strongest women and people I've ever known - and she had such a great sense of humour that rarely failed her. She was a great, loving mum who, despite the sometimes crazy hours and times she spent working on our projects, was always there for her children and never forgot them.

Regina taught me what good friends really are and how important and valuable it is to have a good friend in your life. I am grateful that we were able to work, celebrate, live, discuss, argue, create new things and be friends with her for so long. And when I say "we", I don't just mean our teams at Tresor not just our teams at Tresor, Kraftwerk and the T31 exhibition, but I believe I am speaking on behalf of so many - not just in Berlin - who had the great pleasure and honour of knowing her, experiencing and learning to appreciate her as a friend, companion, colleague or even boss.

She left us on 21 July 2022 after a serious illness, which she fought extremely bravely for a long time.

We miss you, bella Regina."

The Connection Machine reissue+ (analogue sci fi techno biz)


Subvert Central    1 Replies

Theeboon, 1st December 2023, 15:10

I think this will go down nicely with the Subvert crowd: banging analogue sci-fi techno from the mid-90s equally well suited for living rooms and dance floors, reissued on vinyl/FLAC/CD. Straight from my hometown Utrecht in The Netherlands.

https://www.utrax.com/news/58/10/New-The...r-now.html

"Downtempo techno stars The Connection Machine return with a stunning re-release, featuring rare and unreleased tracks and a Legowelt remix.

Combining old and newer material, the luxuriously put together BlackHole+ offers fans and newcomers alike a comprehensive view of a group that made dance music history, considered to be pioneers of the Downtempo genre
BlackHole+ brings almost all tracks of the original release from 1995, including everyone's favorite Echoes From Tau Ceti, that gets a delightful the remix treatment from Dutch producer and longtime fan of the group Legowelt."

Great mastering on my CD, U-trax always puts in the effort.

Silence Groove - Orbital Cruise EP (Offworld118 ) out now

Release date : November 24th 2023 at the Offworld bandcamp store and worldwide at all good outlets.

Audio: https://soundcloud.com/offworldrecording...tal-cruise

We're delighted to welcome back Silence Groove - fresh from releases on 31 records and Secret Operations he returns to Offworld for an ecxeptional 6 track ep. His sound has matured and refined in the passing years whilst retaining his amazing level of production and attention to detail.
Extraterrestrial inaugurates the ep progressively with delicate atmospheres and melodies, growling reese bass and interesting crisp drums which develop throughout the track.
You're everything is a warm roller which is hypnotic and hooks you in from the very first notes of the warm and fat bass. From here trancey melodics come in and out to build the track with a spacious warm vibe.
Illusions is an uplifting energetic amen stepper with great riffs,arps and melodies.
Orbital Cruise could be our favourite here with a sublime contemporary take on oldskool atmospherics amidst a classic skippy break and deep sub bass. Watchout for a lovely switchup later in the track.
Next up The Bells is an intriguing excursion in progressive drum and bass with a stepping vibe and a warm layered bass that drives the track whilst gentle brooding atmospheres and synths envelope the listener.
Closing out this marvellous ep we have Finally There an understated sonorous take in spacious musical drum and bass with filtered riffs and clever switch ups.
