OVM 216EP
|
Ovum presents a remix EP from Agaric's Who Made Up The Rules (OVM 9011CD). Josh Wink is onboard to remix the title track -- this is vintage Wink, pumping and building as only Josh can. On the B-side Axel Boman takes the hypnotic "Get Off My Mind" and makes it a funky house jam. Two amazing remixes of two incredible tracks that should be heard throughout the summer season and beyond.

Patrik Skoog isn't only one of the youngest veteran techno and house producers from Sweden, he's also one of the most interesting and inspired. Though incredibly versatile, the sustained energy in his sets and productions are equally exceptional. In the last two years, Agaric established the Club Tracks 10" series on his label We Are. Besides his own stellar productions, collaborations with close friends Shonky, Walker Bernard, Ed Davenport, and Beaner have also graced the Club Tracks series. International support came from leading DJs like Richie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, Loco Dice, Ben Klock, Luciano, Joris Voorn, Magda, Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth, and Adam Beyer. Above all, his productions were championed by Josh Wink, who went on to sign his album debut to his Ovum imprint. After more than 100 vinyl releases, Patrik Skoog can look back at quite a history: his harder techno project Headroom on his label Native Diffusion, releases on Synewave, Loop, and many more long-forgotten underground labels in the '90s and early 2000s left his first mark for those who know. From 2005 on, he evolved into his deeper Agaric project, with releases on his internationally-celebrated We Are label, Adam Beyer's Drumcode, Truesoul & Mad Eye, Raum...Musik, Sunset Diskos, Nummer, Kontra Musik, Treibstoff and Liebe*Detail. As a technical DJ with a magical sense for momentum and selection, he's been playing worldwide for more than 15 years, while his equally as stellar live-sets are one of the few that can rock a crowd throughout its duration. Relocating to Berlin in 2007, he quickly established himself as a celebrated constant inspiration, be it for extended Bar25 after-hour sets, or club nights in Watergate, Arena, and Berghain's Panoramabar, where he holds his We Are label nights.

KM 002EP

"Producer Agaric alias Patrik Skoog is a techno veteran who released his first tracks already back in '98. During the years he has grown into a mature and skilled producer, which has brought him up to his most recent alias. With his own interpretation of minimalism, Agaric is the choice of the moment...generating amounts of positive response and support from world renowned DJs like Richie Hawtin, Villalobos and Michael Mayer. The EP The World Is Asleep is a conscious step away from the over exploited minimal scene. The A-side and the track 'Over the Hill' instead offers a deep, reverb drenched and soulful techno classic. This is a track that flirts more with Detroit than Chicago but still there is something in the groove that makes it irresistibly funky. The B-side and the track 'The Outside' starts off with a short Jack Nicholson sample from the classic '60s movie Easy Rider. What follows is a slow bass cord that reminds more of the drone/doom group Sunn O))) than of techno music."
