SOUVENIR 064EP
|
Holger Zilske and Kai Preussner (aka Smash TV) get down to business with three brawny, burning-hot grooves infused with their signature flavor. Oscillating between smooth and rugged, techno and house, dubby and in-your-face, Smash TV's assured and organic style has earned the support of legendary producers and DJs alike. "Robogeisha" combines thumping kicks, cosmic stabs, stuttering percussion and Geisha vocal samples all into one pot. "Fluffer" directs its attention straight at the dancefloor with a no-nonsense, head-down stomp. "I Won't" brings equal destruction with pitched-down samples pinned down by tight percussion, and a wandering bass line.

Welcome to another edition of Get Physical's influential series, Full Body Workout. In celebration of their 10th volume, the label has a couple of surprises in store, digging deep to bring you some of the most innovative sounds; from classic favorites like Javier Logares and Tiger Stripes to amazing additions from Just Be and Nolan. Smash TV return to the compilation with another bomb "Stop Me," and the unstoppable duo also mixed the entire release. Everyone's favorite summer track "Ninety Five" by Flashmob gets a remix from Argy. And as always, Get Physical loves to ask their buddies to mix the compilation. Last time they asked Simon Baker, whose mix sold out almost immediately. This time, the beloved Smash TV boys are up. You'll love what they've done with it just as much as you love their epic, extended sets. A little slice of Berlin club culture at its finest for your very own. Other artists include: Dachshund & Quenum, Chris James, Simon Baker, and Sonartek & Andrea.

GPM 171EP
|
Kai & Holger aka Smash TV return with Matthew Pervert on Get Physical. "Matthew Pervert" is a slow-building groove attack. Saucy percussion sets the mood for a deep, pumping bass under chords. A sassy vocal adds to the analog ambience, coated with reverb and doused with delay. "Please" features a deep horn falling under kicks. A touch of techno emerges from the darkness and drives you insane, followed by deep vocal lines and foggy chords to melt you to the core.

LEENA 019EP
|
Smash TV's Holger Zilske and Kai Preussner have been in the game for quite some time, yet this is their first release on Leena. With releases in the past on labels such as BPitch Control, Diynamic and Get Physical, now they are here to present World Wide Wet! All three tracks come with the producers' high-energy dancefloor trademark, while, in spite of its suggestive title, "Eating Bullets" takes it a bit deeper and gives you some space to kick back to.

"Increased coherence is the central theme on Smash TV's new album Bits for Breakfast. Multiple sound designs settle here on so many levels of meaning that only the word, synthesis, is left for getting the sound of Bits for Breakfastdown on paper. The conscientiously minimal construction of tracks is only one side to many possibilities. They are being intuitive by standing at the edge between a hypnotic vacuum with a steady bass-line and digital vocals that are then triggered. In contrast there is the working process of Smash TV: the golden thread of the album is sewn with thorough and rational Cut & Paste techniques based on memory and snippets of experiences. This is actually how Bits for Breakfast sounds: a presentation of a musical spectrum that is fully able to go against time in flight along with the knowledge that there is always more/ there must always be more. In the beginning it might sound like Elektro, and Raz Ohara takes apart your ears in the opener 'Queen of Men.' In the end, he blows such soft bubbles on 'Can't Wait to Operate' that it would be so nice to be covered by them."

"Electrified is a tight variety of Electro ? ElecTech. It bears the sign of the new millennium, transformed into 8-bit pixel optics, and hints to their b-boy roots. It is like the soundtrack for a project by the Chaos Computer Club, where a highrise-building at Alexanderplatz is used as a LED-like video screen for playing video games via telephone. While listening you move between digital abstract sounds, vocoder sounds and oldschool references as Electrified is the interface."
