Kompakt releases The Field's debut album 2007-02-21 16:33:51 The Field
is Axel Willner from Stockholm. He’s made some very graceful waves with two 12-inches on Kompakt
, had one of the best tracks on the latest “Pop Ambient“ compilation, and is now gearing up to release his full-length debut
, “From Here We Go Sublime”. His stated respect for the work of Kompakt head Wolfgang Voigt (aka Gas, Mike Ink, Freiland) isn’t just an employee complimenting the boss’s tie; Willner’s music obviously draws from the shape-shifting ambience of Voigt’s final Gas album “Pop”, though Willner favors builds and drama over pure mood.

And finally again under Pantha du Prince
.
After remixes for Depeche Mode or phantom/ghost and releases of “two of this summer’s most wonderful hits (according to a review written by bleed in de:bug magazine on “Lichten/Walden”), his new album is out now: here is “This Bliss
” - a record that again acts both at the heart and at the boundaries of House and Techno music. It was produced here and elsewhere, on trips, while visiting friends, on the train, the airplane or when travelling between Hamburg, Berlin, New York and an old Parisian monastery.Â

of the Seventh Season
". The CD has two mixes which contain the sound of this summer's Ibiza, where Sven Vath had a residency. Although the music has been played all summer, it has an actual sound, clear and still very successful.
Â
The first CD is called Craziness and reflects the best club atmosphere which just doesn't let you sit down.
The second CD is called Continues and even if at first sight is not very different fron the first one, there are some melodic parts on this CD that make it glow more than the other one.

Charlie May vs Sasha - Seal Clubbing 2007-01-26 07:15:24 Seal Clubbing first began life as a commission for a forensically popular American TV series. But, as is often the way in the DJ world, the track soon found its way into the hands of Dave Seaman, who used it as the Disc 1 opener for his recent Masters Series compilation.
The response was instantaneous, being hailed as the standout cut from the entire tracklist amidst a wave of message board banter. The demand was clear the record simply had to see the light of day.
But not before some new interpretations were in the bag, step forward James Zabiela and Tolfrey & Sylvester.

Gabriel Ananda - Bambusbeats 2007-02-24 05:00:24 In March 2007 GabrielAnanda
is going to release his 2nd album on Karmarouge Records.
On ‘Bambusbeats’ Gabriel Ananda presents us a reverse side of his extraordinary skills. Away from his well known melodic tracks now his music dips into the artificiality and abstractness of electronic sound scapes, nevertheless it is emotional and in the flesh.
Gabriel Ananda put his focus on rhythm and acoustic drums wich now carry his emotions across the music and look straight to the dancefloor. This, what is coming out of the boxes fresh and untouched, is pure groove and definitive a tribute to detroitish values - the pairing of great emotional gestures and the uninevitable might of the dancefloor.
