Cosmic Pint Glass Electronic & Dance 6 Artikel

Like a DIY brick-shithouse Frak feel like they are preparing for some nasty. Kicking off the track with some serious drums. Eerie synth lines and creepy bass pads lend for a slightly deranged and unsettling feel. There is a strange air about this track. Tuff snares kick in that galvanise and ready the troops. Kernkraft translates as Nuclear Power and from the outset reverberating sequences visualise a bleak working environment. Mechanical sequences rotate. Clouds of sparking particles swirl overhead menacingly. A kick drum stumbles into actions, the machine has powered up. Cold hi-hats shimmer, and hollow synths give the feel of some sort of labouring workforce continuing their daily grind. This doesn’t feel like a nice environment to live in and reflects the reality of some peoples everyday life. Living to work for the greater good and sacrificing their lives in the process. It is a powerful piece. Strong, monotonous and mechanical.

The Cosmic Pint Glass Keg series continues its secret vinyl only 10″ addition, pressed to 200 copies. This time Daniel T supplies the dancefloor fun times by adding some tropical funk to Maricopa’s Ascent and turning it into some mutant disco party jam. On the flip Miskotom adds a hefty dollop of atmosphere to the already atmospheric Volcanic Glass to provide a stunningly laid back finish. Get these while they’re hot!

Maricopa makes the smoothest summer tunes in the world. On his Explorer EP, the second in Cosmic Pint Keg series, Maricopa makes no exceptions. A Journey through Mediterranean landscapes and across tops of mountains in the midday heat to the refreshing sea breeze on a midnight beach. It’s a thing of beauty some are directed at the dance floor some almost chilled to horizontal.

Globe trotting crate digger Daniel T, exploded on to the scene with a string of releases after his amazing debut Tetrachromat on Young Adults a couple of years back. Daniel has been growing some serious gems in his laboratory. Two gems that have come to maturity and have been plucked for the Fahrenheit/Celsius EP on Cosmic Pint Glass records. Daniel has crafted something special in these two cuts. Beautiful, bouncy and positive tracks that work as well on the dance floor as in the soundtrack to a road trip. After hearing them, CPG called in their top men Lauer and Jack Pattern for remix duties.

The release comes in a hand finished paper sleeve and is limited to 200 copies. Additional track from the Pack The Picnic 12″ with an amazingly fruity remix by Pan Solo.

The release comes in duo-colour hand screen printed sleeves and hand finished paper sleeves and is limited to 300 copies. Luke Sanger aka Duke Slammer has been a busy boy lately, from regular appearances at Berlin’s infamous Panorama Bar, to composing game soundtracks for Ubisoft. In this installment Luke dons his Slammer hat for a holiday inspired selection aimed at the dance floor. ‘Pack The Picnic: Box Jams’ takes inspiration from the vast Norfolk sky and coastline. Slammer takes to his hardware to jam out a strain of melodic techno that bear resemblance to acts like DMX Krew and Larry Heard.
