Release Notes :
Danish producer Martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his
versatile views on Techno and House. His very special enthusiasm enables him to
seize new musical territory with every release. With his debut record on
Cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever
evolving tension between life and music. The Mzuzu EP is all about bass. The
bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades
concrete and iron. While the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture,
they are kind to us humans. The basslines put the dancers in a conforting state
of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when
one still rested in one┤s mother┤s womb. It arouses the memory of a state when
one is completely merged with the surroundings. Martinez reorganises the
structure of house music: The lashing grooves cease to be the center of the
tracks. Martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass.
Its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited
feeling. Freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and
open. Instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their
liberating energy. The tracks rarely need anything else. The icing on the cake
consists in tiny vocal samples. Creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us
in a state of constant curiosity. Disolving completely into the flow of the
tracks, the human voices become pure sound. Mzuzu Chant and Adagio are for the
beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space.
Martinez┤ compositions manage to unleash a deep joy that only Tibetean monks
might feel after weeks of medition.
