Artist: Swat Squad
Title:Sleep Traveler Ep (Maurice Aymard rmx)
Label: Galaktika Records
Style: Techno, Minimal,Techhouse
Released: Feb 2008
This is Swat Squad’s second release for Galaktika Records, the ”Sleep Traveler EP”. The brainchildof Oliver Henares, Swat Squad has been published before by labels like Treibstoff and Resopal. Henares also runs a record label of his own, Pulsewith. He mainly plays live, but also Djs. As for the ”Sleep Traveler EP”. The journey begins with the title track, and what a beginning it is.  When the needle drops our hero (you) is confronted with a series of adventures, one after another, one deadlier than the other. He gets attacked by laser guns, keyboards and walls of sound and always manages to come out at the other end, ready for what’s next. On the dance floor ”Sleep Traveler” will hit hard and show no mercy.

Tracklist:
A1 Swat Squad - Sleep Traveler
B1 Swat Squad - Iceberg
B2 Swat Squad - Litle less Gravity
B3 Swat Squad - Iceberg (not so icy rmx by Maurice Aymard)

[IC002]Tala - Mandragora (Inc. Cosmic Sandwich Remix)

February 22, 2008 at 5:21 pm · Filed under Articles, Media, Reviews

Iconise’s second release features four variations on a deep techno theme, as we invite three distinct production talents to remix Tala’s ‘Mandragora’.Based in Argentina, Tala debuted with his acclaimed remix of ‘War In Donga’ (Iconise 001). Deep and heartfelt, Tala style is a blend of springing, melody-heavy techno (think Sascha Funke, or maybe Superpitcher) with the stripped-back feel of contemporary minimal house. His original version of ‘Madragora’ is a low paced, quietly romantic pulser, ideal for deeper dancefloor moments, or late night listening pleasure.Fittingly for a Brighton-based label, we’re pleased to welcome Cosmic Sandwich on remix duties. A born and bread local, Steve Barnes relocated to Cologne some years back, and went on to produced a string of acclaimed tracks and remixes for Traum, Trapez and My Best Friend. His warm, dub-spiked rework tweaks the pace for a plaintive club-burner in his typically rich style.Next up we welcome newcomer Marcel Oelke, a brand new German talent. His remix strips the original back to its minimal roots, inserting a bumping contemporary groove and a smattering of textured harmonics. Smart, unpretentious and brimming with potential, it’s a fine start from this young artist.Finally, we return to Brighton for Danzai’s remix. Layering dripping percussion clips over Detroit-ish string swathes and a deftly arranged groove, it’s a fittingly emotive end to the release.
