After several months living in the south of France in Aix-en-Provence, Sascha Funke is now back in Berlin again and moved into his new studio right away (which is, convenient enough, on the same floor as the BPitch office).
Beside working on his new album Funke also produced a new track for this EP - The Acrobat - where Efdemin distributes a remix for the B side.

Back in the days, at the end of 1994, Harthouse released the sophomore effort of Hardfloor´s “RESPECT” - following in the footsteps of their debut album “TB Resuscitation”. While resuming and and refining the sound of the first longplayer, the second album continued the success story of the debut “TB Resuscitation” (06/1993) as well as the 12”-releases “Acperience EP” and “Transcript” which then where key for the rising wave of Acid Trance. Over the years, all Hardfloor productions were defined by the distinctive 303 sound - or even by simultaneously using three synchronized 303s. With the artwork of the first Hardfloor releases, Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker tribute to the visual artists who had strongly influenced the creation and development of their unique sound. February 2002 sees the long-awaited re-release of “RESPECT” on CD and double vinyl - which Ramon Zenker carefully re-mastered. As a bow before their fan base, the CD contains two bonus tracks: “Mahagony Roots” (Work Remix) and “Kangaroos & Bubbles” (Armando’s Darkside Mix). Watch out – this addictive acid may corrode your ear-drums!

The first part of the „The Life We Choose“ album series starts with the 9 minutes long acid-monster: „The Trill Acid Theme“.
„Swiffer“ is dominated by a hypnotic acid line, which is corrupted by interfering effects. „Melorec“ is based on influences of HARDFLOOR`s side project DDPNP, melodic 303 lines, but here
they come in the context of the typical HARDFLOOR groove. All things considered this is Hardflooracid at it’s best!

The 2nd part of the “The Life We Choose” Album series starts with “Who You Gonna Call?” The track is built on a melodic 303 acid line, which, followed by two more 303s, results in a complete acid trip. “The Life We Choose” is compelling, with its 117 bpm Electro-Groove, strong bassline combined with a hypnotic acid line, right up to the triumphant string finale. “Itz Ok (Club Mix)”: sombre, expressive vocals mixed with acid beats make one thoughtful, despite enjoying the whole package in a “Hardfloor will survive” club mix! Attention! Full album cover comes with part 3!

Creme Organization, Bangkok Impact
“Missionary on Mars” is a disco injected techno-ish track with a very strong bassline (a bit Carl Craig style) building slowly to a climax and then really hits it off with floating strings that gives you goose bumps all over! On the flip you’ll find the second version by Bangkok Impact which is more straight forward and stripped down version. And then there is the Raiders of the Lost Arp remix which has the typical techno sound from the Pigna/Nature guys.

Talking about Chloés first album, “The Waiting Room” is not an easy matter for us. Too close to home maybe. We would also like to brush aside the idea of a first album of electronic music as being a real difficulty. Such a trap exists, some fall into it, others don’t… Chloé however is not even on the road that runs along side the trap. What touches us about Chloé is that we don’t really know which road she’s taking.
A couple of milestones however… The Pulp and the Djing of course; or the story of a discreet girl naturally imposing
herself on the international electronic scene. A rather beautiful story; it’s not very often that fragility and sincerity are “under the spotlights”. With no other ambition than to be herself, disarmingly exposing her weaknesses, which become her force.
So doubt can become a driving force. About these doubts… Chloé’s first productions for the Karat label for example.
It was necessary to doubt for an up and coming DJ to produce a record like Erosoft. Eratic, lo-fi, poppy and poetic, going against everything that could be perceived as requirements for success for idiots.
And yet, Chloé obtained immediate recognition from her peers: the best clubs the biggest festivals.
One could easily think the fragililty of her music is the counterpoint to the toughness of a Dj’s career.
As if two Chloés existed : the international DJ, sure of herself, and the producer, expressing her inner fragility.
But there is much more to Chloé than that; she also studies at the Academy of Music in Paris, writes electro-acoustic music and composes original music for contemporary dance.
In constant search of a stability, fragile, among so many things: harmony/dissonance, repetition/rupture, complexity/spontaneity, body/spirit, electronic/acoustic… Questions that not many, or enough producers ask. Maybe we can consider in “The Waiting Room” as being the beginning of replies to such questions. The record is first of all a solution to the equation, dear to us all: the maximum distance from the classical structures of dance clubs with infinite dance floors.
Making heads spin instead of nodding in conformity, there’s a healthy attitude.
And Chloé also reveals intimacies deeper than they appear: love, with a big or small l, the ghosts that haunt us, finding enduring happiness “Around the Clock”, death or far away lands. The text is in the form, the least erudite possible.
Chloé wants to touch, not intimidate people. If she plays, mixes and diverts, it’s precisely to avoid what touches nobody any longer: the forced experimentations of a hermetic electronic sound, a formulised commercial pop dance music. So we are talking about emotions, but emotions shared. Once again, Chloé is risking [big] revealing herself little by little.
An intimate album for a large public, it took guts to do it. Bravo.

The young, talented British producer and DJ Johnny Arthur has been chosen for DJmag’s “Gotta be big” feature.
“I’ve listened to lots of young DJs during my time as Editor of DJ Magazine, but Johnny Arthur has something special.
A real talent with the potential to go stellar.” (Lesley Wright)
Johnny has his own superb bi-monthly club night Chicken Nickers at The Key, London and has played there alongside Paul Woolford, Jennifer Cardini, Martin Landsky, Ellen Allien, Alex Smoke and Magda.
Johnny’s ‘Evil Edna’ tune was released on Kill Brique last March, with a remix from Music Man’s Deetron.
He reveals more of his talent with the “Johnny Hates Jazz” and “Red Planet” Tracks out on MBF now as a digital release only.
“Johnny Hates Jazz” is a monster of a production and will do good on the floors since it combines Johnny´s sensitiveness for new music and essential good studio work he was trained in.
The deeper track “Red Planet” works with a nice build up. The dynamics will especially please people that like melodies in techno.
