The fist work of this German duo by Upon U was called Burning Train and had a huge success. After that work the German label, that has been present in the scene for the last two years, has launched several interesting works by the hands of producers like Marcus Meinhardt, Ruede Hagelstein, Mathias Mesteño ou ate mesmo The Cheapers. This new Channel X work features three tracks, on the a side we have an unique and magnificent track, “Euphoria” starting with a fine rhythm, very powerful, but that goes calming down to the sound of a constant angelical voice for almost two minutes, moments where you’ll feel your heart breaking apart… from that moment forward it’s just evolution! this is a track where we can find the true meaning of the word “recycling” in minimal music, marked by long pauses inputting a new energy to the track, very well achieved by this duo. In the flipside we start with Mosquito, a trip to a different world where we are constantly pushed by flying insect. It has a notable growing pattern, with the necessary breaks, an excellent bass line in a growing tone from the beginning until the end of the track. Ending it up comes “rising Sun”, very appropriated to this Summer season, portraying an intense light reflecting in a mirror of calm deep waters. Nice rhythm full of strong sensations with lots of power added on…. excellent to the dance floors.

Upon You is a label well known by all of our readers. We generally like their works and once again this is not an exception. In their 15th release they invited the duo composed by André Quasar and Mirko Hensel aka Channel X to lead the decks. They previously released works to Stil Vor Talent and Kassete Records, i must say that i didn’t knew this guys but their works is pretty interesting.
