MFP 071EP
|
After the release of his album Angular, Mathias Schaffhauser and Mo's Ferry present the new remixes. Nicolas Masseyeff and Jorge Ciccioli ensure international scope as well as musical variation. Masseyeff turns "The Best Bad Idea" more into the fuffy tech-house genre and gives the track a refreshing summer flare. Ciccioli stays faithful to his roots and packs the track "Schnuppe" in a minimal techno dress. The typical foundation of a rumbling sub-bass sound and a dry machine beat is topped with a truly hypnotizing bass line. Also features the two original tracks by Mathias Schaffhauser. Technoid sound without compromise and to some extent brutally pushing forward.

This is the third volume in Ware label-boss Mathias Schaffhäuser's Re: Selected Remixes compilations. Re:3 was made almost entirely during the most extreme techno economy crisis to-date, when Mathias Schaffhäuser received one remix request after another. Except for two, all tracks were produced after August 2009. This makes Re:3 a fresh and coherent album, not much different from an artist album. There are two tracks that Ware is particularly thrilled about: unlike the sad fade-out version on the Faust album from 2002, the remix for "T-Électronique" here is featured in its full-length. "You Laugh At My Face," originally by Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras (aka Catholic), is a track exclusive to this compilation. Stefan Goldmann's Macro Recordings found the original version on an unreleased album from the 1970s when both these artists collaborated. Later, Jorge Socarras played in the band Indoor Life, who Schaffhäuser was a huge fan of during the early 1980s. When he heard the Cowley/Socarras track, the old flame rekindled. After a few phone calls to Macro, the licensing and release of an exclusive mix was a done deal. Also, the remixes for Leigh Morgan and Aldrin & Akien were so far only available as internet downloads -- the first is now being released on CD and vinyl, the latter on vinyl only, as is the 16-minute original remix version of M² (alias Markus Güntner and Markus Kavka). Other artists include: Henneberg & Stiller, Philogresz, Gunne, Delhia De France, Breger, and Nooncat.

"Mathias Schaffhäuser is name everyone in the techno scene knows, no introductions necessary. His production credits span over ten years and include Force Inc, Kompakt and mainly his own Ware Records. Two moody late night tracks and a remix by the curious newcomer Carola Pisaturo of Claque Musique (Italy)."

Mathias Schaffhäuser approaches the subjects of religion, God and faith via a totally burning techno manifesto. "Gott Ist Tot" ("God Is Dead") is a punchy rave track which deliberately lacks any missionary intentions and doesn't philosophize but beats around the bush tongue-in-cheek. With the [a]pendics.shuffle remix, all content vaporizes and is ultimately kidnapped into weightlessness by a godly (!) guitar at the end of the track.

"Like its predecessor, RE:2 compiles remixes by Mathias Schaffhäuser that were produced in the recent past. If 'RE:1' was already considered an artist album, then RE:2 is even more so. Just about all mixes were produced over the previous 12 months, i.e. the album is not just a collage of various work periods but almost completely from one single production flow. One result of this remix collection is its cohesiveness but also its definite club affinity. Over the last years Mathias has been DJing non-stop, travelling from Cologne to Istanbul via Basel and Moscow, Bilbao, Paris, Belgrade and back to Berlin. RE:2 also reflects the ever continuing differentiating and refining of the various types of minimal, in Schaffhäuser's own interpretation." Artists include: Pan-Pot, Stefan Tretau, Frankie, Dapayk + Padberg, Novox, Mathias Schaffhäuser, Good Groove, Misc., Crane A.K., And.Id, Laub.

WARE 061EP

In April 2005 Ware label-boss Schaffhäuser released his album Coincidance. The Alternatives EP, which followed in June, became the most successful 12" in Ware history mainly due to Trentemøller's remix of "Coincidance." Needless to say, we'd like that to happen again. Andreas "Audio" Werner turns up the 4-to-the-floor bassdrum on "November Reign," ringing in the New Year as if Christmas was tomorrow. On side B Mathias Schaffhäuser transforms "Dear Elliott," the requiem for the Californian singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, into a stubborn minimal-dark funk track, pulling the mourning crowd from their seats and onto the dance floor.

WARE 059EP

Berliners Pan Pot (Mobilee/Einmaleins) remix Mathias Schaffhauser's all-style minimal track, "Lost Vox." This track is a piece of '70s dance history and it fuses here in a greatly diverse and brilliant 2005 version. Some would say "electro house," some "electro tech" -- we quite like to call it "minimal functionalism." Schaffhauser's original turns the Ware boss' funky side on its head: where normally soundscapes roam, he now lets out some squealing screams. Lost voices... Lonely voices... No voices... Hmmm...

WARE 049EP

"Over the last 12 months 'Truthology' (Ware 41) has turned out to be of the most successful tracks on our label -- so remixes were a must! This time those fateful lines? 'Don't believe in nothing/don't believe nobody/don't believe in anyone/no god, no guide, no party' have been taken up by: Frank Martiniq (Boxer, Sender, Areal) -- here he doesn't rock as hard as usual, ranging somewhere between Ricardo Villalobos' euphoric restraint and Super-Collider's funkiness. Matthew Mercer (Forte, Background) has, of course, once again pulled some wildly-chopped cut-ups from his box of tricks. Frankie from Paris, from the -- you guessed it -- eponymous Frankie Records label always knows how to place his subtle craziness most unerringly -- as he does here. Colleague Schaffhäuser has treated his original to a make-over, pumped it up and brought it even more to the point."

"'Don't believe in nothing / don't believe nobody / don't believe in anyone / no god, no guide, no party.' Life without truth, life without faith -- try it. It works! If this seems a bit banal, you can have it backed up by Friedrich Nietzsche -- from his excellent On the Genealogy Of Morality: 'The will to truth requires critique -- let us thus define our own task -- the value of truth must for once be experimentally called into question...' Yes Please! Try it, it won't hurt. So why does something like that occur to Mathias Schaffhäuser now? The current state of the world? Hmm. yes, no, partly. The text was actually written in 1992, and was indeed influenced by Mr. Nietzsche. But the critical approach to God, ethics and truth has always been central to Schaffhäuser's way of thinking. In his opinion, contemplation and content should (once again) be brought into the focus of Techno and House -- as hard as that may be. But the music should come across without being cramped or stiff -- it's always better to have a smile on your lips, hidden by a mask. 'Truthology' is funky and mean and light on its feet at the same time. Rumpelstiltzkin philosophy, foot discourse... The B-side is called 'De:tox - Re:tox' -- and who isn't familiar with that? The morning after: 'Oh no, I will never take this or that again, from now on I will walk the path of virtue!' And one day later: 'Hey, that tastes fine, sure, lets have another one...'. Give us our daily liquid bread (or whatever). It works even better in the context of confusing dance music. Actually, you don"t really even need any toxic substances if you have warped clusters like 'De:tox - Re:tox' -- but hey, what am I talking about..."

BLAOU 019CD
|
"This is mixed compilation album album for Blaou tells the story musical wise. It is titled From 4 to 6 a.m. and presents the complete 'Blaou Years', the works for Blaou until now, including 10 tracks that appear to be a versatile and highly inspired string of sounds that work like a concept album soundtrack for modernist urban electronic dancing. A striking example how fresh and inspiring this musical genre can still be when it is composed in Cologne-Germany. And 'Composition' is the word for this album, one hour of crystal clear raunchy energetic excitement from the humble foreplay installment '4 Uhr morgens' towards the amorph bass flow when 'Smith and Wesson' appear on the scene up to the dramatic guitar crescendo of '6 uhr morgens', you can feel the rhythms build and tension grow with each round this CD spins. Due to the long time span of the single productions incorporated on the album the final edited version feels like a journey in time, going back to the future in the best meaning of the expression. You may know Mathias Schaffhäuser for his recent success on Lido Hotel on his own Ware label but you have never heard him sounding so special and intense as From 4 to 6 a.m.. So, electronic movers and future music pelvis shakers, if you didn´t know it before : the new year has no rhythm and no rhyme and no right time if it doesn't last 'from 4 to 6 a.m.'."
