Just in time for 2008, Stil Vor Talent comes out with its 18th 12" already.
Label daddy Oliver Koletzki shied at neither time no effort scouting through
BerlinÆs relentless afterhour scene to find some fresh blood, and he got lucky.
Channel X are two berliners who have already been making a name for themselves
with their energy-laden minimal live sets that are full of clicks, clacks,
effects and pumping grooves. their productions carry the same power as their
live sets and, together as Channel X, Andre and Mirko have already released on
their affiliated label Kassette Records, a Berlin-based minimal techno label. On
Stil Vor Talent they are now releasing a three-track-ep that is 100%-dancefloor
material! On the main side there is "Bug Trouble", an ever-shifting track that
is sweetly embedded into a slightly housy groove. Over the top there are some
vocals and other effects that sound like the two producers have perfectly
mastered the art of live-recording. This is a journey into sound - and
dancefloor mayhem, of course! The b-side kicks off with "Black Coffee", where we
get to experience the more musical side of the production team. A twitchy beat
including cowbells and a delayed male vocal sample create the perfect antagonism
for the groovy off-beat chord stabs that kick in after the first breakdown. This
is the perfect symbiosis between minimal techno and house melodies. Then, for
the purists of the minimal genre, there is "Bells", a tune that gains its
momentum from some greatly produced deep delayed sounds which are perfectly
arranged in the midst of a wooden loop. Dark, twisted, yet funky. Definitely one
for the afterhour ... with the "Bug in the Coffee"!
