Thanks to three EP’s and two remixes on Electronical Reeds, the Parisian duo Kreiss & GFP has successfully established themselves in the electronic music scene. Today the label releases a “Remixes EP” which provides a new vision of the prolific duo’s original work where each of the remixers come with a very personal touch.

The Spanish artist UNER, from Diynamic and Cadenza, revisits “State For A Track”, which while keeping the soul of the original production, becomes a real dancefloor hit. The Canadian producer Rennie Foster who in the past worked with labels such as F Communications, Subject Detroit and Rebirth, reworks the track “Vis-à-vis”, originally composed in collaboration with DJ Kaine, to develop a vision tinged by the sound of Detroit and its ruthless efficiency. After having remixed Kollektiv Turmstrasse and Oliver Schories, German artist Alex Q selects “The Consumence” and its hypnotic voice of Renan Cadoret. Through seven minutes of the track, he embarks the listeners on a unique journey into his Deep universe. DJ Kaine, while selecting the same title, chooses an opposite approach and composes a pronounced Tech House atmosphere while sublimating the Renan Cadoret’s sweet voice. This “Remixes EP” closes with a special remix. Ephti, half of the duo Kreiss & GFP, reappropriates the track Moving Keyboards and reworks its atmosphere through the universes of his solo project.

This EP decompartmentalizes borders of genres and styles thus sweeping a large spectrum of electronic music. From emotion to dancefloor, it is inevitably one of highlight releases of the end of this year. Read more

After the first “Versus EP” released in June of last year, Electronical Reeds presents again an encounter of two artists of the label for a new EP in the Versus series. The Brussels-based Felix Cage and the Parisian Ephti, new solo project of one half of the duo Kreiss & GFP, have interlaced their musical universe and explored new musical directions. Strengthened by their different EP’s on the label, the two friends are open to a contrasting and ripened travel into the musical world of one another. Through his title Horizon Badwater Ephti held his hard-hitting baseline typical to the Kreis & GFP duo but enriched with hypnotic sounds that offer a unique atmosphere oscillating between energy and calm. With his remix, Felix Cage preserves the powerful approach title has with his own sounds, including his special touch of synths and offers an equally effective title on the dancefloor. The EP ends on the bewitching Manta Ray that deploys its essence in softness and progression. Like the calm before the storm, Felix Cage and Ephti offer a musically rich EP with highly contrasting mood.s Read more

Felix Cage and Lazarusman are back on Electronical Reeds for a special Remixes EP of their track Love Again. Five artists offer their personal vision of this collaboration between the slammer and poet Lazarusman and the producer Felix Cage. Away from their first attempt, here is probably the EP of the “coup de grace” of the dancefloors!

After Rodriguez Jr. remix in June 2011, another member of the Mobilee team, Marcin Czubala, takes the lead of a Felix Cage’s title. The Polish DJ and producer approaches the track with the typical touch from Berlin fusing high efficiency, deep soul and melodic richness. As for the Parisian duo Kreiss & GFP, they steer away from the Deep House of the opening track to energetic Techno with a real percussive rhythm. A dark and heavy atmosphere perfectly merges with jazzy sounds. From darkness to light, Kreiss & GFP are resolutely and passionately in love with the dancefloor. The co-founder and manager of Voltage Records, the Berliner Marquez Ill is the conductor of this third remix and offers a more Tech House approach of the track. The vocal cut and sampled guides the dancefloor until the break leaving Lazarusman’s voice for crowd’s pleasure.

After three remixes resolutely turned towards efficiency and dancefloor, a change of rhythm occurs in the EP. Indeed, the Lille-based artist Max Duke offers an acoustic version with a captivating rhythm and guitar riffs that are reminiscent of a famous American band from Los Angeles. This acoustic approach continues with the remix of the artist from Brussels, Souldust. He produces an instrumental remix leaving a prominent place to the melody supported by a powerful kick. He takes the listeners to a wonderful journey oscillating between power and melancholy. Read more

From time to time Electronical Reeds likes going off the beaten tracks and predicable paths just to offer different and less usual material when one least expects it. For its last EP of 2011, the label with the reeds leaves the dancefloor on the side to embrace the “inner self”. This EP should be savored in intimacy, as it offers a journey of senses and catches the listener’s emotions instantly. This odyssey was written Parisian duo Kreiss & GFP who demonstrate once again their musical diversity and the unbound sound universe. The opening track Moving Keyboards fascinates by the masterful piano improvisation moving on a light and subtle rhythmic background. This piano and its bewitching melody evolve more deeply through In Motion Blue leaving the kick and the bass on a side letting the beauty of the instrument speak for itself. Washing Head abandons the piano in favor of the cellos offering a more introspective and melancholic track. This emotional adventure continues with the deep and nostalgic Patwathead, with its syncopated melody and catchy atmosphere. The mesmerizing and hypnotic Sweet Brawn ends smoothly this introspective journey through listener’s emotions.
