Schermate - Schermate 009

Visionary underground dance music, Schermate are Laric & Stefano Greppi. The group was founded in early 2009
after Stefano Greppi & Laric (Alessandro Larice) met in record stores where Stefano worked.
Schermate Recordings Label founded in early 2009 by Schermate that prints only their own productions on limited edition coloured vinyls.
The first 8 releases have found their ways into the hands of Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Boris, Raresh, Traversable Wormhole and many more big names across the world. The releases have covered a mixture of groovy tech house right through to extremely dark techno. These boys put some serious amounts of detailing on their productions and it's really apparent when you listen to their work. Real nice guys as well as I found out when I met up with them in London last month.
For the 9th release in their series they've produced something a little bit special. On the A side is a track called 'Brettenshuffle' but it's the B side which is really interesting. The whole side is made up of 32 'Locked Grooves'. These are essentially loops that will keep playing and playing and playing until you tell them to stop, or move on to the next loop.
Stefano and Laric are definitely ones to look out for in the future. More info can be found on them at their Myspace page

Traversable Wormhole - The Remixes Vol 1 (Marcel Dettmann & Peter Van Hoesen) [CLR]

In 2009 Traversable Wormhole released a series of 5 anonymously produced ink stamped vinyls which found their way on to the underground techno scene, into stores like Hardwax and Decks.de and into the boxes of techno's big names.

We was so impressed with them at Slash Dot Dash we tracked him down and flew him over to perform his live show at our relaunch. A UK first no less. He also impressed Chris Liebing who signed him to his CLR imprint and has been lining up a string of techno's biggest names to remix the 5 releases. The first EP to reach the light of day contains possibly the biggest name in techno in the world right now, Marcel Dettmann and Time To Express head man, Peter Van Hoesen.

Dettmann's 'Closed Timeline Curve' remix is built for Berghain. Driving rhythms over the top over a thumping kick. Has the feel of his his work with Shed under the Deuce alias. Van Hoesen's 'When 2D Meets 3D' is a much more minimalistic creation that drifts along hypnotising as you go. Check them out for yourself

Traversable Wormhole - Closed Timeline Curve (Marcel Dettmann Remix)

Traversable Wormhole - When 2D Meets 3D (Peter Van Hoesen Remix)

Now normally 2 heavyweights like this would be enough for a remix project. But CLR are releasing a different EP every month after this first one with remixes from Surgeon, Sleeparchive, Function, Speedy J, Terrence Fixmer and Liebing himself. This is just the start of a very exciting run up to xmas!

After months of hard work and planning the time had finally arrived, and what a time is was. The Hub club will filled with a great friendly crowd just chomping at the bit to consume what was about to come.

XI & Chris Stanford kicked off proceedings deep and slowly built things up as more and more people arrived. Eventually the scene was set and it was the turn of the debut UK appearance of Adam X's new project, Traversable Wormhole. There had been plenty of underground buzz built up around the, until now, secret world of Traversable Wormhole. A series of 7 anonymously stamped white label releases fueled the live set with his signature stripped down industrial techno beats.

Then came the turn of the main event, as Sandwell District took the stage to step the party into over drive. Function & Regis's DJ / Live hybrid set was something more impressive than I thought it would be. The atmosphere became even more electric and the crowd truly got lost in the pounding rhythms filling the air.

Here, at Slash Dot Dash, we'd like to thank everyone that came down to The Hub Club on Saturday night and made us feel proud to be techno fans in London. The people came out in force. One of the best crowds I've seen in London for a long time.

As amazing as Saturday nights party was, we're not content to finish there, oh no no no. We're working away behind the scenes putting together a line up to match the brilliance of the relaunch. You won't be disappointed. You can keep up to date with the all info on our Myspace, Facebook and Resident Advisor pages

Thanks again and see you next time!
