Oliver Hacke, who also released on such labels as Traum, Trapez and Background, starts with a slightly dark, very deep ambienced, but nevertheless very dancy track.
Andy Vaz (Sound Variation [---]/ Background) contributed an, in comparison to his past 12? releases, a much straighter/cleaner arranged track without loosing the dense and sometimes weird athmosphere, many people appreciate his tracks for.
Stephan Schwander under his Rhythm_Maker pseudonym (aka Antonelli electr., Repeat Orchestra?), sets the tempo for the b-side to laid back 120 bpm?s with very deep, melodic chords, arcoustic-bass and tiny distortion effects.
Daniel Fritschi has his debut-track on this 12?. Its slowly upbuilding surrounding sound scapes go in hand with filigran beat-patterns and effects.
