Second Release, incl. Mar/us Remix
(Mar/us and WarinD remix) On the A-side, Berlin's Oliver Deutschmann brings his signature sound of hyp-notic big room techno, while Gegen's residents La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard come up with a moody track carrying a weird combination of gritty and dirty synths with spacious sound design that make you wonder if you didn't get thrown off the side of the Milky Way by a boisterous clunky spacecraft on its last leg.
With the second vinyl release of its new record label venture, Gegen showcases two staples of the Berlin club scene.
On the A-side, Berghain regular DJ, acclaimed producer and multi-label founder Oliver Deutschmann brings his signature sound of hyp-notic “8-AM-on-a-Sunday” big room techno. “Wach” (awake in Ger-man) has the kind of sound that builds on layers upon layers of skill-fully designed drums.
On the B-side with “Roadkill”, Gegen’s own residents La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard come up with a moody track carrying a weird combination of gritty and dirty synths with spacious sound design that make you wonder if you didn’t get thrown off the side of the Milky Way by a boisterous clunky spacecraft on its last leg.
On remix duty, Gegen is playing with its Italian roots in its choice of two newcomers: Mar/us and WarinD.
Making his producer debut with this remix, Mar/us, another Gegen res-ident, is coming-in strong with a harmonic tear-jerker full of pads ooz-ing with 90’s influences and whose melancholy is balanced out by a martial groove.
As for WarinD, he completely flipped the original on its head and swapped the moodiness for a kick-heavy hard-hitter adorned with ethe-real dissonant synths and brand new vocals.
