Following the direction Struktur Eins layed ahead, the newest release from Vordergrundmusik’s head sits in perfectly in that 12-2am set. A bare-bone track with just enough playfulness to not distract from the distorted basses and furbished drums. Embrace the steady, clean rumble...

Timo Maas dropping his Rittik Wystup Remix in Napoli. 🥳🙌🏻 Out tomorrow!

Snip 06: 𝓓𝓻𝓾𝓶𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓮𝓮𝓹 Timo Maas Remix

Finally, Timo Maas drops a hefty and punchy remix of "Drums in the Deep". He picks up on the poem and its inclinations but keeps the dancefloor in mind when shattering glassy bits over distorted fragments of the melody. A splendid pumpy finisher to a fairly eccentric EP.

Out tomorrow! 🔥

Snip 05: 𝓜𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓨 𝓜𝓲𝓼𝓽
Traditional drums and plucked strings progress through "Might y Mist". Before they lose themselves in a faraway landscape, feet stomp and heads bob. As they meld into a fog, carrying debris of the wanderer’s voice and his melody, they spread like a mist: over the water’s surface.

Snip 04 - 𝓘 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮
Staying in key, "I Exhale" whispers an ascending piano phrase into the air, which upon reaching for the sky reforms into an unwavering, repeated, slightly melancholic expression. A homage to a valley of bells and chimes, it bursts and blasts into tiny fractions before it evaporates.

Snip 03: "𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓮 𝓭𝓻𝓸𝓹𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓼𝓹𝓪𝓬𝓮" presents falling water drops, lifted by a steady, sharp beat. As they approach a large pool, they increase in size and weight, becoming more round and abundant. A gnarly FM bass and frozen hi-hats make way for the passage through the thickening air, blitzing the little leitmotif here and there.

Snip 02 - 𝓓𝓻𝓾𝓶𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓮𝓮𝓹
"Drums in the deep" tells the story of a drifting wanderer, voiced by Stepan Terteryan, at the shore of Armenia’s Lake Sevan. His poem can be heard throughout the track, mumbling away as he feels the ground beneath him shaken by roaming bears.

A massive Club Remix by Timo Maas coming up later this week! 🔥

Out Now! Michael Schreiber - Repetitive Strukturen (Incl. Alec Troniq Remix)

Vordergrundmusik’s head returns to the floor as no one else but himself – Michael Schreiber. In Struktur Eins, form and function fuse to dark matter and sizzling hi-hats, stomping feet on the dancefloor merge with faces of excitement. Simplicity is key here – Schreiber focuses on matching gnarling, resonating bassline with dubby synths and a sharp kick. Nothing more, nothing less.

Building up on the slightly glitchy feel of the original, Alec Troniq brings a touch of energy to the table, expanding the straight groove to a more fully-fledged secret weapon for the floor. Raw synths match the perfectly placed drums, all arranged in a definitive manner. Get moving!

Out now! Kawatin - Weightless World EP incl. Reboot and Martin Merz Remixes. A versatile 5 tracker ranging from ambient to techno.

The Cluster Buster version takes the original on a dark and imposing journey of huge 808s, raw synths and celestial widescreen pads. Turning it into a sturdy yet cinematic beast of an electro tune.

Martin Merz - Back to life (Rittik Wystup Remix)

In between the striking synth jabs and arcane vocals of Back to Life, Rittik Wystup spins a net of sharp, crackly drums and fo**le, almost trickling piano tones. His elation to combining electronic and acoustic spaces is mirrored throughout the rework, echoing his own unique sound note by note.

𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄! The second Remix is of no other than one of Sh*tkatapult's labelfounders, T.Raumschmiere!
