3rd Floor & Re:Connected Releaseparty, 28.03.2008, Culture Box

Når de to pladeselskabsmænd Martin Decara og Martinez, bedre kendt under det borgerlige navn Martin Swanstein, for anden gang krydser klinger på Culture Box har, tiden ikke stået stille i de to lejre siden sidste fest for et lille år siden. Martinez’ Re:Connected selskab som var en af årsagerne til sidste års releasefest har allerede 3 EP’er og et album bag sig, og har hurtigt vundet indpas hos en lang stjernerække af de største DJs verden over. Festen markerer den 5. Udgivelse på det nye label, som rammer handelen i marts måned.

Foruden hans udgivelser har Martinez for alvor slået sit navn fast i København efter han har kastet sig ud som festarrangør på blandt andet Culture Box og Vega, og har på bare et år fået en perlerække af DJs til den danske hovedstad, som f. eks. Sven Väth, Loco Dice og Miss Kittin.

Også hos 3rd Floor Records sker der noget. Med hjælp fra vores nye A&R-ansvarlige, Stefan som blandt andet er kendt som dj fra klubber som 6 Hertz og Ready-to-Warehouse, kan vi denne aften præsentere den 8. Udgivelse på selskabet fra allestedsnærværende Martinez, ’Retrospective’ som allerede har fået stor opmærksomhed fra en række af spidserne rundt omkring. Der er desuden en lang række spændende planer i støbeskeen for det nye år, som vi glæder os meget til at løfte sløret for.

For at fejre alt det, inviterer vi derfor endnu en gang til releasefest uden de store dikkedarer med de tre hovedpersoner bag roret, Martinez, Martin Decara og Stefan, på Københavns foretrukne legeplads for elektronisk musik, Culture Box.

Fredag 28. Marts kl. 23.00 - ??
Culture Box Kronprinsessegade 54a
Kbh. K.

Entré: 60 kr.

Line up:

re:connected 002 will be released in store very very soon.
already supported by: Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Konrad Black, Karotte, Steve Bug and many more..

Artist: Martinez
Title: Re:connected 002
Label: Re:connected
Format: Vinyl 12”
Cat.No.: RE002-6
Releasedate: 04.07.07
File Under: techno/minimal
Tracks: A1: Land-Crab
B1: Angvalt

After massive success with the first re:connected 12inch (supported by Ricardo Viillalobos & Loco Dice to name a few), we now returnn to you with another slamming two tracker. Two brand new techno cuts from Martinez, that he produced during this spring in his triple-o lab in Copenhagen. These tunes follow perfectly the style and sound that was laid out on re:connected 001. ‚

On the A side we start off with a more subtle, but growing track called „Land-crab“. The track kicks off with a strong driving sub woofer baseline, an irresistable 808 tom groove, some heavey snare and claps action and a metallic and dripping bleep bloop sound, drives the track steady forward. Later some playful effects enters and make the track peak but without destroying it’s floating minimal structure. „Land-crab“ keeps bubbling until the end just as subtle as the movement of a crab working his way on land.

B side offers a prime-time techno monster, that is called:„Angvalt“ (near to the Swedish word for a steamer, but made the word a bit more internation). Ist driven by its whobbly and rattling bass grooves, some submarin like sounds and heavey hi-hat action for pure dancefloor pleasure. The track then takes a turn into a break down that sort of gives you that feeling that you get when you had a little bit to much of the good stufff and suddenly find yourself on the dancefloor going into a state of mind where everything is sort of upside down and you don’t really know were you are or where you are going.. but then suddenly everything clears and you can hear the steady sound of the ponding 808 kick and in a few seconds you know exactly where you are again.. This is what „Angvalt“ is all about! ;o)

See ya around soon again for some more re:connection!

Martinez - 101 regards - 3rd floor records




Artist: Martinez
Title: 101 Regards
Label: 3rd Floor records
Format: Vinyl 12”
Barcode: 807297 2172
Cat.No.: 3rd006-6
Release date: 28.03.2007
File Under: Minimal/Techhouse

Tracks:
A1: Mistlur
B1: Sliderglider
B2: 101 Regards


Once again, back is the incredible: Martinez. This Swedish
Copenhagener needs no introduction unless you’ve been
living under a rock (as in “ ’n’roll ” ). His first release on
3rd Floor Records is set to take the spitzenklasse quality
of the label to unprecedented heights.
The ball is opened with Martinez’ trademark sound, but
“Mistlur” is nevertheless combining old and new sound –
thereby extending the reach of the Martinez fan base.
Layering tons of hypnotic and enchanting sounds that
twirls in and out on top of the warm driving bass line in
perfect conjunction with the subtle theme play, this track
is an absolute killer and we pity the fool who sits by
without getting into a serious groove.
Sliderglider represents the minimal and bouncy sound on
this 12”. The primary bass line is deep and driving and
requires plenty of room, but the accompanying effects
and synths have a more minimal feel to them thus
resulting in a very effective sound. Once halfway through
the track a wobbly and bouncy synth kicks in and gives
the whole arrangement a staccato burst but it soon
leaves the scenery again only to let the before mentioned
bass monster continue on its path of dance floor
destruction.
Making sure no one is left alive on the dance floor “101
Regards” finishes off this electronic slaughter in a very
hypnotic and building fashion. The siren-ish theme synth
is continually building itself up and tearing itself down
leaving the listener in a state of trance. The basis of this
track is a more funky (mind the f-word!) blend of
percussions and the occasional bleep’n’squeak.
