"This is the 2nd part of the Faze series from Sam Rouanet aka Reynold (boss of Trenton records) with one hell of a track called 'Straight Into The Wall,' a straight up (real) shuffled groove with nice chords and a killer electro bass line! The remix from Till Vons Sein is definitely as good. Deeper. Great work from Till though; he is really on the ramp right now and we will see more of his work on the upcoming Trenton releases. Also a new signed artist on the label is Der Thal that is giving us a remixed version of the 'Craft' tune from Reynold's Faze Part 1. Finally a more 'Toolish' but still great remix from Yappac & our boy Daniel.FX, perfect for long ass sets and after party freaks. We call that a hit record, right?"

"Samuel Rouanet aka reynold aka Duplex 100 (together with Phil Stumpf) also boss of Trenton is releasing here his first full EP on his own label. After a year of serious boredom when it comes to techno music and especially what is the so called minimal sound, he decided to release what is his own vision of dance music. 'Poison in My Mind' has a strong bass line and triplets chords that drives you while the melody comes in and out. 'Blue Steel' is more of an old school anthem with strings and Detroit vibes. 'Craft' is what Reynold does the best, electro deep cinematographic tune, close to the work he did on Persona with his My Favorite Films album. Like it or leave it."

Reynold (Sam Rouanet) made his first Persona appearance with the album My Favorite Film. Sam now presents a 3-track vinyl which further illustrates the Persona style of emotional dance music which embraces the heart and stimulates the dancer. La Cité d'en Haut was inspired by the L'Incal series of graphic novels by Moebius (Jean Gireau) and Alejandro Jodorowsky. In those books we are introduced to a dystopian underworld filled with thieves, mercenaries and the like -- familiar territory for techno music.

This is Toulouse-to-Berlin transplant Sam Rouanet's first full-length release for Persona Records. Continuing in the path of recent releases such as Touane's Awake and Stewart Walker's Grounded in Existence, this is an album of iconoclastic electronica which balances production skills and musicality to create sounds with timeless appeal. Based on a lifetime of film and music appreciation, and the desire to create the perfect soundtrack for his own internal movie, Sam sat down with his guitars and synthesizers and got to work. Influences range far and wide here, from Tortoise to Brian Eno on the popular music side, and from Bernard Herrmann, Lalo Schifrin, and Jonathan Goldsmith on the film-scoring side. And though the album was assembled digitally, all acoustic instruments were played live, either by Sam himself, or by his friends (including Rob Mazurek on trumpet) and family (his father Jacques Rouanet on Rhodes). As a result, the album combines the moods and production techniques not only from recent electronica but also the warmth of '60s and '70s-era jazz and easy listening.

In anticipation of the forthcoming My Favorite Film album by Reynold, Persona presents some compelling remixes by DJ Donato Dozzy and Stewart Walker. Donato's "Over There" has an ambient intro, and as the intensity of the track builds, you realize this is that rare jewel of a track which floats love, intimacy and a feather touch over live 909 kicks and toms. Stewart Walker's mix of "Persian Indigo" builds on the original mood while nudging the emotions into a happier and more carefree shape. Atmospheric piano chords, Brian Eno's pads, and Reynold's guitar-work will make you jump for joy.
