Review: "Stranger..." was originally released as a limited edition on Rekids sub-label REK'D ten years ago, and now it gets a wider release. Despite the passage of a decade, it still packs a considerable punch and is available here in two remixed versions from Len Faki. The first 'Podium' take is sure to send a club into oblivion with its wild synth stabs, rolling drums and ominous filters. Faki's "X-Break" version is not as direct, but is still just as effective; over hollowed out drum breaks, he adds layered chords to the siren-like synths, lending Zahn's original a more measured but distinctive version.
Review: It's that time again: Sven Vath's powerhouse Cocoon Recordings presents the next volume in its alphabetically themed series and brings out all the big guns in typical fashion. There are many highlights, but for our money we'd bet on fellow Frankfurt homeboys Einzelkind, Robin Schulz & Rhythm Factory who team up for the bouncy, late night tech house of "N.2guts", masked Berlin techno impresario Redshape on the brooding dark journey track 'The Choice", Glaswegian legend Alex Smoke with the funky microhouse jam "Porridge" and of course Ovum Recordings man/Philly's finest Josh Wink with the droning peak time acid trip "Buoyantly Grounded". It will take you ecstatic heights like he has done previously.
