Georg Stuby presents Redust EP on FormResonance. Grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide sound-stream. Dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature - Knowledge which is inherent in class-A circuits, vinyl or tape and which can be barely re-produced. Jonas & Christopher Lawrenz provide a remix.

Here Today (Engin Seyrl and Florian Schirmacher) follow releases on Philpot, Suol, Claqueur, and Buzzin' Fly Records with the Meadow Run EP, released in advance of their debut album Transitory Objects. "Meadow Run" is a powerful techno track with the duo's trademark old school sound. They recorded their drum machines on tape and reused them in the mix, which gives them a softness without losing any punch. "Crossing" introduces a moody club atmosphere with strong, shimmering vocals. You can feel the UK house influence that also defined "Good News" from Buzzin' Fly - 5 Golden Years in the Wilderness (2008).

Huge package out on FormResonance with this Burnin release by Wareika. The original track, now timeless on vinyl, comes alongside with their own "One on One Remix." Brendon Moeller's interpretation focuses on his beloved dub techniques, including an acid feeling and a stunning bass line. His "Beat Pharmacy Flaming Dub" is more focused and cleaner. Wareika's remix of Alex Flatner & LOPAZZ's "Dinosaurs" creates odd rhythms.

The debut album from Bilirubin presents a new signature sound from Hamburg: full vocals in between folk, pop and electronic with a ruff approach. Christos Zarampoukas' magnetic voice evokes a closeness and intensity, its pureness a stand-out feature in each piece. There is a diversity to these well-arranged songs: the funny "Doped Call" is as important as the soft "In Your Garden" or "Horses with Golden Hair." Bilirubin will go on to tour these pieces with ukulele, acoustic guitar, backing vocals, lead singer, guitar and bass. FormResonance sets new standards in terms of mastering techniques, exactly capturing Bilirubin's pure expression, spirit of experimentation, and their love of playing instruments.

This is the debut album by The Chaenge, the duo of Florian Schirmacher and Mijk van Dijk. Mijk "The Legendary" van Dijk has set the bar in the techno scene since the early '90s. He was one of the first European artists in Japan and still follows and promotes his philosophy of thinking and acting without borders. Probably only a few people know that he was a bass player in a funk band before he started his career in techno. The funk strikes back! Florian "The Voice" Schirmacher is producer and singer of Wareika, Federleicht, Hatikvah, Here Today, and of course, The Chaenge. His approach to build up musical projects together with other artists sets yardsticks when it comes to the question how to define a band. He is rightly regarded as an exceptional figure in the current club culture, with an instinct that always hits the mark precisely. Catherina Behr is next to the guys live on stage and acts as drummer. The Chaenge triggers a variety of connotations and shows quite confident future visions on the new record. They present a synthesis of camp, irony, elegance, seriousness and a wink of a surprising turn in their songs. The Chaenge should be seen as a neatly tailored, colorful kaleidoscope. The carefully chosen cover version of André Cymone's "Dance Electric" (written by none other than Prince) proves their courage to raise their music to a new and higher level. The essence and spirit of funk is preserved and transformed into the current club culture. Their compositions draw a rich picture full of musicality and passion, speaking with one voice and creating a synthesis that forms a compelling character.

FormResonance selected three songs from Hatikvah's debut album Synchronicity in its uncut version to make it available for the music world on vinyl. "Big Mind" reveals itself as an extremely dense atmospheric world of sound with beautiful vocals by Florian Schirmacher. "Daedalus" is a Rhodes solo. Pure. Nothing else. "Unforgettable" slides in a 13-minute improvisation with the Rhodes piano that evolves gently and playfully. Sound & soul follow Hatikvah -- the deeper, the better.

FormResonance presents Oculus and Leib & Seele. Within this project, producers Florian Schirmacher and Andreas Barth have gotten in touch with deeper shades of house, especially concerning variations in harmonies and lyrics. "Beizeiten" may cause a sun-dazed state of mind; its reinterpretation by Herrhorst & Meissner is made to cause an endorphin-rush. Oculus' "Ancient" consists of an energetic, powerful groove and a propulsive bass line. "Echo" is a thrilling time-quest riding on a rhythm-monster.

Florian Schirmacher and Marc Bammann aka Federleicht have created a playful and danceable track in "Rosa Lee." This is music that combines fragments and a masterly sense of ease. In "Lillie & Douai," the duo spans an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks from the two French industrial cities of Lille and Douai.
