Gabor Schablitzki aka Robag Wruhme is one of our favorite old school producers and one of the guys that I’ve first started to listen among this musical genre. His Ep’s on Music Krause made me realize that this was the next step, this is was the true Dance music! Now, after a few years he still continues to do amazing productions like this one that was released by Vakant a few days ago. Abusus Adde is composed by three very good tracks that were already supported by Sacha Funke, John Tejada, Ellon, Anthony Collins, Magda, Slam and Raresh… It all starts with “Hodgkin Mopp” a tripadelic minimal long length performance that goes around a fascinating melody and a wicked beat typical on Robag’s productions. Next is the disturbed “Ruptur Oing” that will captivate you by it’s fascinating deep lines and the step by step construction. A powerful dark tool to use in night clubs! To finalize the EP appears “Fufo2″, a track interlaced between dubstep beats and minimal constructions showing another side of this guy that we also appreciate a lot! A track to start a set or to end it… Robag isn’t a “normal” producer, his tracks are genuine, now it’s up to you to like it or hate it.

Anthony Collins and Tolga Fidan got together to perform a great piece to one of the greatest labels of the electronic market. It’s Vakant’s 2nd release this year and this one is really something that you all should look out for. Despite their different backgrounds on music, this two French producers managed to combine their best elements and came out with something really synched up. The first track is “Violente”, a smooth deep track with some tribal influences, a beautiful set of drums and some unique piano chords that will turn this one into something really enjoyable. Next, in the b side, you’ll listen a far more pumpy track, with underground patterns. “La Cadence” has a real strong rhythm, again showing some great drum kits and great percussion. This one will definitely have a strong effect in the dancefloors. The “temporary” duo Tolga Fidan and Collins managed to achieve two great tracks that you may listen at home or at the clubs. Supported by 2000 And One, Benno Blome, Dario Zenker, Radio Slave, Nico Purman, Mark Henning and Tiefschwarz. Vakant has done it again!

Mathias Kaden is back to Vakant records, a German Berlin based label for minimal techno run by Alex Knoblauch and Stephan Bolch, one of our favorites. In his first release this year for them he shined up with two long length minimal tracks, huge bombs I must say! In the a-side you will listen “Moron”, a great turn-on reminding me some productions of Mr. Villalobos – the bass variances are wicked and the rhythm is perfect to dance. It’s really a brilliant construction, showing us why he has such great reputation among the techno mnml scene. B side presents “Shetani” clearly going to deeper spaces. The beat is not as pumpy as the first, going through a deep construction! Once again, Kaden bets on worked bass variances (maybe he has been listening Villa, no?)! When the beat starts to uprise and then going down you’ll get a great different feeling about this! It’s really a worked Ep, with tracks that don’t bet on fashionable music, it’s just the deepest minimal you can have, with the kind of rhythms that can be only listened in the best guys of the scene! Kaden is definitely one of the greatest producers among this kind of music, one of the greatest Vakant bets! Huge EP!

a1 - Moron
b1 - Shetani
