12 Inch
23.10.17
memento records is proud to announce the licensing of -brain freeze-, originally produced by carl craig as tres demented and released on his legendary planet-e in 2006. for this exclusive re-issue on memento, carl s original stems have been remixed and rearranged by luciano. his additional production has tuned up -brain freeze- into an even sharpened peak-time weapon, rich of intense sequenced synthesisers and thrilling breaks rotating around a fistful of crushing cuts of the original voice hooks. the original mix is a memorable dark, relentless, acidic track pervaded by the wild shouts that have defined the tres demented project, a never ending ascension of attracting percussions and funky bites, running now on the wide grooves of the whole vinyl side.
SYSTEM PRESSURE (VINYL ONLY)

vinyl only
lucretio s first solo release on memento, the -system pressure e.p.- is a piece of carefully handcrafted nightclub music. the late-hours anthem -addict to the dancefloor- combines the early 90s heart-felt grooves with the state of the art of contemporary electronic production. -2bpad1- is a relentless ride of voltage controlled oscillators and hexadecimal quirks over hefty bare drums processed with a juicy analogue filter. finally -love wont leave- bring back together house and techno, melting their rhythm and blues essence into an absolute peak-time conjunction.
CONSTANTINE (GAETANO PARISIO REMIX)
12 Inch
11.12.14
after his highly acclaimed sunset in kreuzberg ep, dib001 shifts gears and goes straight into techno mode: constantine is a steady number, its acid bass line slugging around a dark lfo pulse and punching snares. piano chords slow down the pace here and there, adding a dreamy touch to the mood. on remix duties, idriss drafts in gaetano parisio, the godfather of the italian techno scene: his track has a more percussive feel, with a classy swinging rhythm that takes over the original groove.

VINYL COMPRESOR
12 Inch
22.07.13
this ep on memento records sees alfonso leon take his production skills to the next level. vinyl compresors soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.
fabrizio maurizis unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat. outstanding works, both tracks.
