Koltun Remixes (DigiStr 17)
Koltun Remixes (DigiStr17)
For our next release, we summoned two outstanding remixers that during the last years were delivering the goods one after another.
The task was to remix a 12 minutes length Perfect Stranger’s – Koltun, released about a year ago here on Digital Structures, a track that had enough ideas inside for 3 different tunes.
The outcome from Da Fresh and Magitman, came out as two completely different, dance floor orientated, techno bangers. Both artists had chosen totally different parts to remix from the same package, causing the remixes to sound diverse, entertaining and most importantly, to be very useful DJ tools.
On top of that the ScizZors 2012 edit of Original Koltun tune added in here to make this a 3 track release you don’t want to miss.
Enjoy!
VA – At The Crossroads Vol.1 (DigiStr16)
VA – At The Crossroads Vol.1 (DigiStr16)
Digital Structures makes it’s fashionably late entry into 2012 with “At The Crossroads Vol.1” – first installment of series of mini compilations planned for this year. Gabi 2B is a new name on the block, having 2 successful tracks released under 1605 and Iboga Records, brings in his third, equipped with moody melodic hook and a BIG break – it’s a winner!! The Swiss alchemist Martin Knecht ( Human Element ) with his progressive psy crossover rollercoaster ‘Chain Reaction’, introduces a very useful weapon especially for the outdoor season that is about to come. Another newcomer to DS is Diamandy, that presents here a dark and minimalistic number ‘Believe System’, with effective voice samples throughout and a powerful riff climaxing in the breakdown. Next in line is Roy RosenfelD, Israeli Electro wunderkind, that remixes Perfect Stranger’s ‘Slope’ and creates a groovy and kicking, haunted electro-progressive mash- up… Israeli Shahar Melamed ( Indepth ) is closing the ‘unreleased’ part of this mini compilation, with groovy and playful Techno number ‘Parabola’, that smoothly develops into a seducing melodic crescendo. Koen Groeneveld’s signature remix of A. Balter’s track ‘Beans’ is next, no nonsense here as usual with Koen’s productions, and the same usual suspect Balter makes his second appearance, this time with his mate Eitan Reiter, signing off this chapter of “At The Crossroads” with their smoothest creation so far – ‘Komodo Dragon’
A. Balter – Art Off 2011 (DigiStr15)
A. Balter – Art Off 2011 (DigiStr15)
Art Off was probably the main track that introduced A. Balter to the Minimal & Techno crowds little more than 2 years ago, entered the Minimal charts on Beatport and stayed there for quite some time. The 2011 re-edit just as phat, dark, brooding and nasty as we would expect this tune to sound after 2 years of studio excavations. Irish Techno ambassador Matador, who is our guest for this EP, transforms the darkness of the original into a stomping galore and boy we like it!
Danalog – Baked Beams (DigiStr14)
Danalog – Baked Beams (DigiStr14)
Digital Structures is proud to present an Israeli born, Zimbabwe raised and Cape Town based, up and rising talent Daniel Lobel, producing various Tech tunage under the name Danalog. Baked Beams brings in a curiously familiar yet haunting melodic progression, wrapped with quirky wobbling tweakage, that transposes itself into a bootie moving funkster. Chasing Chubby is a stripped down minimal number, that gets it all going with a simple and well executed motif. The Swiss Tech House and Minimal maestro Khainz, pulls out of his sleeve a big Techno rework of Baked Beams, and delivers it all the way with a massive emotional rollercoaster.
A. Balter & Eitan Reiter – E0E (DigiStr13)
A. Balter & Eitan Reiter – E0E (DigiStr13)
To make a long story short, TB303 needs no introduction to dance floor music addicts. It’s probably one of the oldest and most reliable tools of trade in the arsenal of dance floor music producers for the last 30 years. Digital Structures is proud to add one more example of how a proper TB anthem should be done by our own A. Balter & Eitan Reiter, and to make everyone even happier we added a “in your face” remix job by the French maestro Da Fresh.
Perfect Stranger & Eitan Reiter – The Bite EP (DigiStr12)
Perfect Stranger & Eitan Reiter – The Bite EP (DigiStr12)
The Bite is a menacing heavy weight track, armed with a whip-like synth lead, and a no nonsense groove section, it has all the necessary ingredients to justify its name. WMCJ on the other hand, is on the nonsense side of this release. Accompanied by strangely familiar vocal samples and well executed crescendos, its unorthodox groove section has quite a few funny moments that will let your dance floor experience the power of the silly side.
A. Balter – You’re A Fish EP (DigiStr11)
A. Balter – You’re A Fish EP (DigiStr11)
Digital Structures is delighted to present you a 3 tracker package from our up and rising talent A. Balter. ‘You’re A Fish’ is exactly what the title implies… A. Balter presents here, in our opinion, his best solo work so far. Based on warm engulfing bass line, contrasted with lazy and groovy percussion work, seamlessly concurred by skillfully crafted and slowly developing lovely chord progression – this track is a swimming session you don’t want to end. ‘Drought’ with its wobbly bass and melancholic melody is like an old friend from the past coming to visit – and suddenly you remember how much he was missed. This is the sound we love and miss in nowadays Techno productions. Eitan Reiter, another frequenter @ Digital Structures stables, takes the original ‘Drought’ to the “world of Eitan”, where ever changing and abstract phrases are riding on a conveyer of constantly evolving bass structures. Thrilling and deep, the track seamlessly changes phases till the inevitable ending.
Perfect Stranger – Slope EP (DigiStr10)
Perfect Stranger – Slope EP (DigiStr10)
Slope EP presents 2 Perfect Stranger tracks which are more on the “brooding” side of things. The title song is all about it’s simple but effective whip-like percussive groove, that is joined later on by a melancholic riff, which is on it’s turn develops into a massive break crescendo inevitably ending in a certain oblivion. Koltun, from it’s very beginning introduces a playful and dark melody dipped in a seducing atmosphere and riding a steady groove in a constant rise, that culminates in a powerful march. For those that enjoyed the ride, and want more, the track offers a second round for free
A. Balter & Eitan Reiter – Happy Fat Kids EP (DigiStr09)
A. Balter & Eitan Reiter – Happy Fat Kids EP (DigiStr09)
Happy Fat Kids effortlessly stomps ahead with a bassline that will make you drool. Fat and rolling, the Kids introduce a thematic lead sound that transposes the track to the next level of emotional excitement while the heavy loops keep pulling the track onward and forward.
Behind Bars is a straightforward rave-ish Techno monster. The repetitive angry vocal bit with the addition of accurate and tight drum programming make this track to be a massive peak time tool.
Perfect Stranger – OUCH! EP (DigiStr08)
Perfect Stranger – OUCH! EP (DigiStr08)
Italian all around player Manuel De La Mare takes the dance floor orientated bits from the original and does what he does best – make that dance floor stomp.
Eitan Reiter & A. Balter’s interpretation of the seminal piece is an 11 minutes saga of genre defying dancefloor music. You can hear the mosquito riffing near your ears and transform into the familiar melody from the original track. The duo doesn’t miss a chance to go at it all the way, and “nail it” with a massive and almost live performed entry from the break.
