Skryptom collective spotlight: Alys LF makes her third EP on the label after a span of two years from the last publication (‘Drosera’, March 5th 2021): this one titled ‘Tuillo’ shows since the beginning catchy and industrial focused motifs. The title track goes straight and heavy hitting without any compromise, follows ‘Cassia’ which slows down the heat but makes everything infectious with its arpeggio based main synth. ‘Rose’ brings up the energy recalling the style orientation of ‘Tuillo’, with a pounding and kick and alienating synth or hat loops; that’s in the middle of the track that something happens: an 80s inspired pad sound slowly fades in, adding a unique retro flavor to the whole song. ‘Yona’ closes the EP revealing the explorative side of the Skryptom imprint, there it has been created a sonorous spaciness thanks to broken beat rhythms and various surrounding synth melodies.

Artist: Mathimidori Title: Anata EP Label: Echocord Remixer: Levon Vincent Cat. #: EC092 Format: Digital, vinyl Release Date: 23.06.2023 Tracklist: 1. Anata 2. Zanziba 3. Zanziba (Levon Vincent Remix)

Through ‘Anata EP’ his output goes into intricate and atmospheric sonorities, waving into colorful soundscapes while whets introspective and hidden emotions.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Marmion’s seminal classic Schöneberg, Superstition Records are releasing a new 21-track collection of the best remixes over the last three decades, including two brand new versions from DJ T. and Chris Zippel.
If there were to be a compilation celebrating the golden era of European techno, Schöneberg would arguably be the opening track. The most famous cut that came out of Mijk van Dijk and Marcos López’s project Marmion, Schöneberg is perhaps the purest form of what the clubs and raves of Berlin sounded like in the early 90s, and stands as one of the most revered and fondly remembered tracks of all time.
Mijk van Djik and Marcos Lopez formed Marmion after meeting while studying at the FU Berlin, and began DJing together at clubs across the city. It was from their sets that the seed for Schöneberg was sown, as they tried to find a balance between the techno and trance sounds that dominated the clubs. It was an era ripe for experimentation, and for cross-pollination between genres, as van Djik recalls: “Coldcut was doing pop, Kevin Saunderson was playing up and down all the floors, everything fit. I didn’t feel like I had to limit myself or focus on one style”.
Van Dijk and López first worked together on the remix of van Dijk’s High On Hope, which proved to be the beginning of a fruitful partnership. Van Dijk was the producer – with releases on Low Spirit, MFS and Bash – while López was more focussed on DJing. Their first official collaboration was T-Dancer, a tribute to the Sunday tea dance at the Metropol on Nollendorfplatz. “Whoever survived the Whale would hit it again there around 7 p.m. on Sunday. Frankie Goes To Hollywood would have enjoyed this hedonism” López recalls.
Schöneberg was recorded in a single session, and though they returned to it several times afterwards, they never felt they improved on that first creative burst. Released as part of the Berlin E.P. back in 1993, it was heavily championed by influential figures like Tony De Vit and became of the defining anthems of the 90s. “It always went like this: I sat at the Atari, Marcos screwed on the machines,” says van Dijk. And this was the process that led to Schöneberg. “I had little to no idea about the technical side of things, but just a feeling for what I wanted. And Mijk was able to do it exactly,” adds López.
Over the years Schöneberg has been remixed a huge number of times, by a wide range of artists. Now, to celebrate 30 years since its original release, Superstition have collected the best of the remixes – from artists like DJ Hell, John Acquaviva, Der Dritte Raum, Tim Engelhart and Donnacha Costello – presented here with two brand new remixes from DJ T. and Chris Zippel, both of whom do a sterling job of putting their own unique spin one this stone-cold classic.
Another great classic of all times goes through the hands of Kryder: ‘Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan – Silence’ is remixed by the UK based dj and producer, who makes it shining again. The vocal and the main melody is wide adopted and put into a nowadays instrumental, which warmly and pleasantly embraces the parts from the original mix.
Artist: Three Drives On A Vinyl Title: Greece 2000 (KREAM Remix) Label: Armada Cat. #: ARMAS2474 Format: Digital Release Date: 28.04.2023 Tracklist: 1. Greece 2000 (KREAM Remix)
Three Drives On A Vinyl’s timeless theme ‘Greece 2000’ gets another remix treatment by the KREAM duo, who are delivering a lot of bootleg/remixes of well known productions. Their last remix melts the main chord with contemporary edm infected instruments, which sound very large expecially in the low end spectrum. Without going too far from the original vibe the overall result is great, perfectly recalling emotions and sensations that roam around happiness and carefree.
Toolroom Trax hosts ‘Delirio’, a production made by five artists who had the occasion to join each others through the Toolroom Academy music courses. The production reflects as its best the kind of club-ready house/techno music proposed by the legendary UK label imprint, which gets infected by the experience and musical background of each artist.
