OSTGUT 030EP
|
Cologne-Berlin duo Prosumer and Murat Tepeli deliver trend-resistant deephouse, brimming with their unmistakable signature sound. "U & I" is based around an adorably old school bassline that Larry Heard would be proud of. Prosumer and female singer Elif Biçer share vocal duties, revealing a touching story about night clubbing and human relations. Based on the recordings for "U & I," "The Jam" is a techno-oriented, instrumental side that caters to a more upbeat dancefloor. Their most energetic effort to date.

OSTGUT 018EP
|
This 12" by Prosumer & Murat Tepeli includes Soundstream and his remix of "Serenity." His deep and hypnotic treatment captures the sound and atmosphere of the duo's album and leaves enough room for melancholy, playfulness and bass-y grooves. This EP also includes the original track, previously only available on CD. As a bonus, there is the vocal mix of the album track "Believe." Measured chords, a driving bass line and ecstatic melodic sequences make for an emotional journey.

This is Ostgut Ton's first artist album by Berlin's Achim Brandenburg aka Prosumer and Cologne's Murat Tepeli. If you are familiar with both their works, it won't be unexpected that Serenity is a flawless house album in the truest sense. Rather than a bunch of dance tracks stuck together, it's been carefully compiled to form a union of songs where emotions and excess are laced with a good measure of sexiness. For Achim and Murat, house is a universal language, a matrix for different atmospheres and moods. To cater to different listening situations, both at home and in a club, Serenity is released with two different tracklistings. The CD contains 17 tracks, whereas the double 12" has eight DJ-friendly, extended versions of the CD's most danceable tracks, as well as some exclusive to the vinyl. As a Panorama Bar resident, Achim has a lot of experience in how to move a dancefloor. His sets display the full spectrum of house with classics and newer productions that are well-mixed with a timeless quality. Inspired by their live gigs, Murat started some tracks that he played to Achim, who then selected from them and suggested vocals, lyrics, drum patterns or different arrangements. Subsequently, they finalized the ideas together and recorded the different drum and synth patterns to finish the tracks. Because Serenity also contains each of their solo tracks, they sent everything through a big analog mixing console onto a tape machine to give it a homogeneous and warm feeling. Prosumer and Murat Tepeli love the sound of analog machines, as well as the rough and direct qualities of Chicago house by producers and labels like Ron Trent, Chez Damier, Armando, Trax, DJ International, DJ Pierre, Cajmere, Fingers Inc. and Dancemania. This album also features grassroots tracks, swirling acid lines, and beautiful guest vocals by Elif Biçer. These tracks deal with fury and mourning and illuminate both moments of calm and pandemonium.

"Turn Around" is the first single from the forthcoming album Serenity from Prosumer and Murat Tepeli. "Turn Around" is based on a mid-tempo house groove and reveals an endearing pillow talk between Prosumer and female singer Elif Biçer. On the flip, Cassy augments the beats with her own voice. A pumping darkroom dub for the moments without time and space. Pure magic.

OSTGUT 007EP
|
Having released an EP on Playhouse together, as well as some solo releases, Murat Tepeli and Prosumer prove that Berlin and Cologne fit together quite nicely. "What Makes You Go For It" is a mixture of driving bassline, deep chords, spacey sounds and Prosumer's warm voice. A dark and melancholic affair for thumping house floors. "Jaws"caters to both house and techno floors. A relentless bass takes turns with euphoric pads and makes this track perfect for primetime. "Vise" is peppered with acid and old Chicago house, with low frequencies hitting dancers in the brain and hips. What makes you go for it? Good music.
