Picked Sound: KNT003 R.EK – N.T.E. (Original) [KnotenMusic]

N.T.E. opens with a racing heartbeat, describing the menacing grace of falling into an abyss in
the first part of the track, and outlining the battle of coming back to life in the second part.
N.T.E. tells the story of a near-death experience, and explores the phenomenon in the form of a
Melodic Techno track—delicately and without any unnecessary sensationalism. It’s the
prevailing dichotomy, resonating in the details, that makes the track so appealing: You’ll find
yourself balancing on the edge of a cliff—between stirring certainty, comforting hope, and a
liberating battle.

About R.EK
Being resident DJ at Hive Club in Zurich, Switzerland for several years, R.EK has established a
reputation as an artist who is able to capture the mood of the audience, and to incorporate it
into his live DJ set. During the last two years, R.EK was working on fine-tuning his live sets, and
he spent hours in his studio working on his own productions. The result thereof is a respectably
sized repertoire—and some of these tracks are meant to see the light of day in the upcoming
months.

About KNOTEN [KnotenMusic]
Under the umbrella of KNOTEN, R.EK is currently developing a new live performance concept
that attempts to reinvent the communication between the artist and the audience by adding
innovative visuals to the show. The new track will be released under KnotenMusic, which was
launched as part of the KNOTEN project.

Picked Sound: Nekliff – Soul (Molle aka Mollono.Bass Remix)

OUT ON 21/06/19 Exclusiv on >> BEATPORT: http://bit.ly/3000GRAD070-BEATPORT | SPOTIFY: http://bit.ly/3000GRAD070-SPOTIFY

Artist: Nekliff
Label: 3000Grad Records
Catalogue No.: 3000GRAD070

The shimmering melody and the percussive flicker of Shiba create a solid amount forward thrust. In the context of NekliFF’s new EP this direction leads us straight into a mental state very similar to a surreal dream. In no time, the track turns out to be a minimalist hypnosis trick. Inu has a very similar structure, but with its rolling bassline this tune digs even deeper. Keeping up this trend, NekliFF builds the title Soul around an enigmatic melody, creating a very spaced-out and trancy vibe. The remix of Molle aka Mollono.Bass picks up this very atmosphere as the inspiration for a dark, yet colorful dancefloor drama.

Picked Sound: BEDDIGI143 4. Andreas Henneberg – Equal To Each Other

Out now on Beatport
http://bit.ly/2F9IQLD

Bedrock is proud to welcome the supremely talented Andreas Henneberg to the label and showcase his magnificent debut 6-track Duff Trip EP.

Born in Berlin and still living, loving & working in that beautiful pulsating city, Andreas has been working industriously behind the scenes since the mid 90s as a producer, label owner, mastering-engineer and (of course) as a DJ and live-performer. Stylistically, Andreas is located somewhere between Techno, Minimal and House, simply because he is constantly blurring restrictive genre boundaries and defying expectations. He has a sonic fingerprint that is easily recognisable yet hard to define, exploring unfamiliar sounds in unique new ways.

The jittery explosive tension of Duff Trip opens proceedings, swiftly followed by the low-slung, heavyweight percussive workout of When The X Drops, complete with deliciously dynamic analogue motifs. With Vilnius, Andreas gets his funk on, teasing out yet another hip-swinging analogue monster, whilst the initial sparse stomp of Equal To Each builds to towering, spine tingling peaks throughout. This delightful rollercoaster ride through the musical mind of Andreas Henneberg continues with
more peaky percussion in the form of AHAP, before a stripped-back finale Techno skank, titled Nomades, brings this exceptional audio adventure to a suitably fabulous conclusion.

Andreas Hennebergs vast number of productions, publications and releases are the result of more than 20 years studio and label experience. The founder of SNOE and Cascandy, as well as part of The Glitz and Hennon, you can find Andreas releasing on the likes of Voltage Musique, Katermukke, Get Physical, AREAL, Desert Hearts, Parquet, Heinz Music and Systematic. It all started for him at seminal clubs like Tresor and at the very first Berghain/Panoramabar, so his sense of history and class as a DJ is unrivalled.

With his critically acclaimed philharmonic live concert concept called Synth Happens (see view link below) Andreas has gained attention worldwide, proving himself yet again as a genre transcending and multifaceted musician capable of blending styles in an innovative fashion. Whichever project he puts his name to it comes from a place of deep understanding and appreciation that too few producers have in the modern age.

Picked Sound: PREMIERE: Elias Dorè & Acado – Asura [ Acker Records ]

Release Title: Fünfseen
Artist: Elias Dorè & Acado (http://bit.ly/1K6iV6L & http://bit.ly/2IaZzBm)
Label: Acker Records (@3000-grad)
Catalogue No.: ACKER066
Release-Date: 05.07.2019

Es gibt Klänge, die sich wie ein Heilbalsam um unsere Denkstränge legen, die uns die Knoten aus dem Kopf kämmen und mit denen sich spontan ein inneres Gleichgewicht einstellt. Die Handpan ist ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür. Im Track Asura haben Elias Dore & Acado das Instrument mit dem gemächlichen Stampfen und den verträumten Eskalationen elektronischer l(langerzeugung kombiniert. Der Remix von Mollono.Bass geht etwas mehr nach vorne, lässt dabei aber ganz viel Raum für die meditativen Frequenzen der Handpan. Und KlangDruide interpretiert den Titel in Form einer entrückten Zeitlupenaufnahme. Der zweite Track Wadeeh basiert auf einer tiefgründigen Melodiestruktur und kommt mit ordentlich Schwung und dem einen oder anderen Spitzenzeit-Merkmal daher. Im Remix von lnnacircle verwandelt sich dieser Titel in eine psychedelische Abfahrt mit tribalistischen Trommeleinlagen.

There are sounds that act on the mind like a healing balm, that untie the tangle of our everyday
worries, that re-establish our inner balance in an instant. The handpan is wonderful example. In their track Asura, Elias Dore & Acado combine the instrument with the slow stomp and dreamy escalations of a synthesized electronic groove. The remix of Mollono.Bass has a bit more forward thrust, while keeping a lot of audio space for the meditative frequencies of the handpan to unfold. And l(langDruide interprets the title in the form of an enraptured slow motion recording. The second track Wadeeh is built upon a deep melodic structure and has a lot of momentum and many characteristics of a peak time tune. The remix of lnnacircle turns this into a psychedelic departure
