AFTER A YEAR’S WAIT Lokomotiv Records hurtles

BACK ONTO THE SCENE IN DRAMATIC FASHION WITH ITS NEXT RELEASE Featuring UNIQUE Remixes by Valentino Kanzyani & Tomy DeClerque, Bypass FX and Mauro Alpha & Andrea Paganin

Jackie Misfit – ‘Mama Cocha – The Remixes’

Lokomotiv 004

A1 – Valentino Kanzyani & Tomy Declerque Remix

One of electronic dance music’s most beloved techno artists, Valentino Kanzyani (Jesus Loved You/Recycled Loops), teams up with fellow Slovenian Tomy Declerque (Stolen Moments/Jesus Loved You) to create a slow building yet dramatic A-side with serious club appeal. Their remix highlights the minor elements of the original but adds layers of spiraling synths in combination with organ-like stabs and high rising strings washing over glitched up bleeps and a solid pulsing groove. The track’s pinnacle is a massive breakdown featuring sharp symphonic strings which lead back to the main groove. Think of the musical elements of Igloo-Recs mixed with Italo Business build ups and you’ve got this summer’s minimal anthem!

B1 – Mauro Alpha & Andrea Paganin Remix

Mauro Alpha (Boxer Sport/Momentum/Pulsewith) and Andrea Paganin (Kompass/Tenax) drop a harder kick, sharp clap and twisted noises with a tiny acid burp to start things off giving this remix a jackin edge for the minimal techno dancefloor. Random glitch, echoed out noise manipulations, hollow percussion and an eerie electronic chime riff takeover lifting the track up to a climax when it suddenly drops straight back to the stripped down groove for a serious effect. Anyone who likes the stomp of Subconce Records, the quirkiness of Someone Else or the recent productions by Maetrik on Treibstoff Recordings will enjoy playing this to what will certainly end up being a very receptive crowd!

B2 – Bypass FX Remix

These guys are big time! Bypass FX are a collective of Italian electronica, house, progressive and minimal techno producers (Filippo Montevidoni, Simone Scardigli, Marco Solforetti and Michele Galiano) who recently had their music featured on Nick Warren’s Global Underground 035 Lima compilation. Although this is not as clubby as some of their other output, they create an excellently deep yet mind-bending tech-house number here. A much sexier and funkier vibe dominates this remix which retains much of the same feel as the original. A melodic bassline with naughty warped male (or are they female?) vocals and dark atmospherics make this the perfect accompaniment to those post-party Sunday morning sex sessions in the back of the club (or at home if you can make it there in time)!

Lokomotiv 004 comes out on the 25^th May 2009 on 12’’ vinyl and digital dowload via Straight Distribution. For more information, press enquiries or radio feedback, please email vicky@smokycarrot.com.
