"Bartsch is back! It took Axel over one year to deliver another solo Sportclub release, and he did it with bravura. 'Dancing In My Shoes' rolls in spherical and deep, still keeping that pressure on the dancefloor. Axel gets the crowd belting with skillful downbreaks and a hypnotic bass line. 'Interconti' shows his love for analog hooklines while spreading the Kompakt-style all over the world to finally travel back to Berlin minimalism with 'No Way Out.' A bellgroove is digging through that track, which is shortly outshined by flashy housechords to finally gain the upper hand again for maximum pleasure."

KARMA 035LP
|
Double-12" vinyl version of Axel Bartsch's debut full-length, Kiss, previously released on CD by Karmarouge. After a few 12" releases on Kompakt, Sportclub and Spielzeug, Axel Bartsch made the final decision to name his album Kiss because of his passion for music... because music is like kissing -- highly emotional and sensual, as the feeling of approaching lips. These are melodic and energetic tracks that space out into ambience against minimalist hooks, classic techno, dub, and vocal experimentation, dipping into the abstractness of familial and emotional electronic soundscapes. Kiss celebrates the glorious pressure and tension felt in the body when the dancer is animated by a grooving techno current -- moving, throbbing, and finally being released in hisses and pops, like being kissed by music.
