My EPs Rework vol 1 and vol 2 will be released friday September 19th on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, Beats Music, Rdio, Deezer and SoundCloud. Seven previously unreleased tunes, all remade and remastered for 2014.
I did a demo of some of the possibilities using sample & hold on the System-100. This is a bit different from the usual stuff I do nowadays but here you go..
Here is my first bootleg remix of the summer. My Deep House summer version of Bibio – Down to the sound. Listen and download before Soundcloud takes it down.
I’m cancelling my subscription with the music distribution site Ubetoo. The only track I have with them, Jnana, will be added to the excellent service Distrokid instead.
Reasons for ending the deal with Ubetoo are
1: They’re more expensive than it’s worth for me and
2: They fucked up the Beatport release date for my track Jnana. Because of their fuckup it got several weeks delayed and was never shown among the new tracks on Beatport. Consequently it got buried among hundreds of other older tracks.
Ubetoo sucks.
Check out this great set by d-phrag. Lots of great tunes including one of mine.
Check it out! Hypnotic progressive techno.
Yup we finally signed the papers for our track Renegades – The more I learn. It will be released sometime in the near future by swedish label group PR Records. This is a good deal, PR Records is one of the major label groups for dance music in Sweden and they have a distribution deal with Warner Music.
Hovelmann – Paradise (Bjorn Fogelberg Remix) is now available for exclusive download on Beatport. Check it out!
PRESS
This is the second single Hovelmann has released on 19BOX RECORDINGS. ‘Paradise’ is the follow-up to ‘In House We Trance’ and is a pumping piano anthem akin to early 1990s Italian house productions. Despite this, it’s not handbag house or rave-y. The whirling and driving timbres will surely have devas-tating effects on the dancefloor. Previous efforts from the Swede have seen releases on labels such as SYSTEM RECORDINGS and DUMB RECORDS.
Not content with just one Swedish mastermind, we have managed to call in another one of our favourite Scandinavians on remix duties. As a result of Hovelman having remixed Bjorn Fogelberg’s ‘Before + After’, Mr. Fogelberg has returned the favour by housing-up the original. Bjorn is a man of many talents – music producer, web designer, indie game developer and the former label owner of XAKK RECORDS – which released his own productions. He has released tracks on SYSTEM RECORDINGS , SICK WATONA and of course his very own XAKK RECORDS.
RELEASE DATE : 2012.08.13(beatport) , 2012.09.10
I have uploaded a clip of the first piece of music to be created in the XAKK Studio in over a year and a half. My remix of “Paradise” by swedish DJ and producer Hovelmann will be released together with the original on 19Box Recordings later in 2012.
