For Remote Area’s 24th release we welcome back Amsterdam-based, DJ and producer, Lauhaus. Internationally known for his sounds as one half of Polder, his awesome solo productions also create a stir as he blends and clashes house and techno to produce his own exhilarating sound.
“Bring it” brings you a blend of digital vocals across disco feel undercurrents all pinned together with some hot percussive deep drum action. It’s guaranteed to bring the dance floor to a housey climax. Whereas “Moonshine” is a beautiful brew of unforgettable keyboard melodies that thread across, dive under and sweep over the driving beats and our favorite track of the Ep. “Cremita” brings nature to the fore with its relaxing vocals, bird song snippets and guitar riffs intertwined to create a chilled soundscape.

Minimaland Feedback: By now you should all know that both Remote Area and Lauhaus represent quality in the electronic musical world. Every thing this label launches is full of quality and every Lauhaus release follows the same pattern. This 3 track EP is a very exquisite one, with tunes to suit all of your different tastes, from the most deep  (you’ll certainly enjoy “Cremita”) to the most shaky dancefloor ones (”Bring It” is the one for you). Our fav  track – “Moonshine” –  stands in the middle of this two and it’s certainly a very nice one to be listened. Remote Area did it again.

Release Date: End of March, 2010

Yet another live/production outfit has sprouted from the fertile techno soil of Amsterdam. Its name – Gimikk – echoes the unpretentious attitudes and sounds of our flourishing underground scene. It was the open and co-operative spirit of our new school techno generation that brought Daniel Sanchez and Eelco Augustijn aka. E-Contact together. After two well-received EP’s and a lot of hard work their debute album is a fact. We present to you Untitled Concept, a killer collection of tracks set to shake up dancefloors around the globe.

To kickstart Untitled Concept, Daniel and Eelco locked themselves up for a seven day studio binge. The idea was to get into a certain atmosphere, that would lay the foundation for the rest of the session. With the dancefloor in mind and a range of inspirations in their hearts, Daniel and Eelco created eight tracks carrying the same moving and hypnotic quality; Yet each expressing a different mood or feeling. The outcome is a treat for the ears as well as the feet.

Daniel and Eelco showcase a deep sense of dancefloor dynamics on this album. From the dreamy chords of Lovely Way to the wobbly grooves of Dutch Moment; from the percussive mindfucks of Paranoid Nerd to the luscious flows of Soulboy – each is made up of the same effective rhythms bound to set any dancefloor aflame. Untitled Concept is suitable for different dj’s and occasions. Be it the peaktime power of Complex Construction or the 7AM-like deepness of Movement, the album is a sure shot for each moment of the night.

Daniel and Eelco aptly named their album Untitled Concept, because they know that everybody listens to music in a different way – thus leaving room for interpretation. All is all, we would like to congratulate these talented young producers on a job well done. It truly makes you wonder what other Gimikks they have up those magical sleeves of theirs…

Minimaland Feedback: Remote Area is in the top of the mainstream minimal tech house scene, every release they launch is clearly above the average and this Gimmik production follows the same wave. If you’re looking for clean tools full of rhythm and techy patterns this is your choice. This album is all that minimal tech house represents with choices that will turn your Summer into something more tasty! To be listened in all kinds of environments. Gimmik more!

Remote Area shows up once again to deliver a massive ep produced by Makcim & Managemend. It’s the second production made by this duo from the Netherlands and minimaland can ensure you that this really is something special. They compile the best elements of deep and funky grooves, always with very nice rhythm and perfect knowledge of how to produce an healthy dancefloor turn on. “92 House” and “Red Aglet” (massive track) are the perfect example of their good taste. Beside this sexy funked up jazzy grooves, the 2×12″ release also brings a more disturbed neuro minimal pattern that we always appreciate, taking presence on “Somniphobia” and “Euphobia”… Fearful! Supported by Ricardo villalobos, 2000 and One, Sammy Dee and Cassy. Impressive..
