Malta's Brian James's new release it out. Three splendid techno tracks in Brian's own throbbing style! Available from Beatport, Junodownload, Trackitdown, etc.



Words:
Brian James is back with mind-altering pulsating techno. La Ramblas De Mi Mente is a powerful and penetrating techno monster in full darkness mode, soul shattering beats that will have your limbs revolt against you, right there on the dancefloor, surrounded by incessant bass tremors. You know you want it!
La Capanina is slightly more on the minimal mellow trip but nonetheless effective in moving your tush. One of those tracks that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Cafe24 heads back into the darkness where we want to be. Weird hypno mental sounds revolving around basic throbbing beats and warped grooves.

Sounds:
1. La Ramblas De Mi Mente
2. La Capanina
3. Cafe24

Some Feedback:

Laurent Garnier: Great galactic sonic techno tracks. Really like this (the 3 tunes). Will play for sure !

We decided to go digital with Aesthetik Records and we're starting off with Ozka, who already gave us the Phutro ep in 2006.
Ozka's mini album, 'Where Is That Sound' digs deeper into minimalism, but rather from a conceptual point of view then from a 'hype' one.
This release is already out and available from portals such as Beatport, Junodownload, Nuloop, Trackitdown etc. So it's all there for grabs!

On to the official bits:

AER008 Ozka - Where Is That Sound?



Text:
 
After a silent phase, which we all need now and then, Ozka is back with new productions. In fact we decided to release a mini-album since all 6 tracks work so well together and tell us a story about how minimalism can still be interesting and hypnotic, about how electronic music shouldn’t always be superstars and magazines. These tracks touch the deeper side of minimal techno. To sum things up: stripped harmony, hypnotic progressions and all the essentials we need to get through those last hours before dawn.
 
Have a listen:

Lower State of Consiousness
Tonik Haircut
Chic Alors
Where Is That Sound?
Born To Be Loved
Kontrol

Some early feedback:
 
Dario Zenker: thanks a lot super cool ep! i like it. my favs are Lower State of Consciousness and Born to be loved. But all tracks are cool.
Estroe: I really dig 'Where's that sound', nice atmosphere, will play at the beginning of my sets.
Franco Cinelli: really good work!
Xpansul: Incredible release! Chic Alors and Born To Be Loved are my favs, but all of them are great. Thanks man!
Tom Dazing: Kontrol is my absolute favorite, will play it!! Good powerful tracks! Thanks!!!
Lee Holman: i really like the title track "where is that sound" off this e.p.  A Deep Spacetrip!

Aesthetik Records proudly (no kidding) presents Malta's Brian James's second release.

Brian James - Rubber Doll (+Xpansul remix)



text:

On his second ep on Aesthetik Brian James shows his true colours. Dark, deep and stripped down techno with a solid old school, almost Chicago-esque feel to it. Rubber Doll instantly grabs you through its simplicity and efficiency. Pulsating beats, a mental bassline with a slight bleepy feel to it.  A true techno dj's delight. Madrid's techno maestro Xpansul turns Rubber Doll into a harder edged techno stomper. Edgy technoid sounds and Xpansul's trademark dark rhythmic craziness makes this track essential to any self-respecting techno jock! Panic In Detroit is again a typical Brian James throbbing techno piece for when dancefloors go into "mental mode". Bubbling Custard takes a more experimental direction, reminiscent of early dark Model 500 tracks, but jacked up in Brian's very own wickedness. Dj-support by Adam Beyer, Alexi Delano, Paco Osuna…

prelisten:

Rubber Doll
Panic In Detroit
Rubber Doll - Xpansul remix
Bubbling Custard

Xpansul (Plus 8, Disco De Latas): Amazing 3 tracks, all of them incredible, but probably my favourite one is Bubbling Custard. Jeff Mills would be proud! :)
Psytox/Didier Sonderfall (Coincidence): Dude, Panic In Detroit is off the chain!!!  But my absolute favourite is definitely Bubbling Custard. It euh... bubbles :)  Love the way the loop seems to go completely off the beat and yet it fits in. Best Aesthetik for me so far, hang in there mate.

The much anticipated Highway ep by Franco Cangelli, accompanied by a brilliant Reynold remix!!

Promo text:

A solid Detroitish techno ep from Franco Cangelli. Digging deep into his roots, he delivers 3 brilliant tracks that exemplify the machine soul of techno. 'Highway' pulsates with deep bass kicks, slowly evolves to a rhythmic orgy of beautiful detroitish chord layers. Future classic deep techno. The darker and moody 'Things Coming Together', works the dancefloor with classic 808 sounds, a square bassline, dark strings and a nasty, sticky melody. DBX meets Detroit. 'Presumably So' starts off on a minimal trip slowly evolving into a funky track with a moving bass string, squelchy electrifying sounds and a sweet pad to add a nice deep touch. Reynold then comes along with a mind shaking remix, funky chords, electro bassline, building up to an unrelenting dancefloor experience. Dj-support from Paul Mac, Ben Sims, Reynold, Estroe, Fabrice Lig, Adam Marshall, Angel Molina, Russ Gabriel…

The Sounds

A1 Highway
A2 Things Coming Together
B1 Presumably So (Reynold remix)
B2 Presumably So

Feedback

Paul Mac: Thanks for this one my favorite Aesthetik so far by a mile good work, Things Coming Together is the cut for sure, good work.

Reynold: great record!!!! exactly the sound I wanna play now.. very detroit but still modern and fresh! + franco is a great guy and his label rocks so when he asked me, I didn't hesitate one bit to make that remix for him :-)

Russ Gabriel: Another superb release from Aesthetik records. I absolutely loved the two mixes of "Presumably So" as soon as I heard them. Played the Reynolds mix in every set I've played since. Soulful techno at it's very best. This record is what it's all about. (Franco didn't want me to have this for Ferox, was saving it for Aesthetik.....bugger!)

Fabrice Lig: Excellent e.p ! Really like the Presumably so (Reynold remix) really funky and deep track ! I also really like Highway ! excellent track too ! A nice e.p between old school and modern « minimal » high quality music

Adam Marshall: I like the "Things Come Together" track alot.... killer funk

Franco Cinelli: Amazing release, musica, no more frozen minimal

Estroe: Thanks for your music. I'm especially going for the Reynold remix. And your track Highway is very beautifull, very Detroit indeed. Full support!
