Here comes summer, and to start it off peacefully, Family’s sixth release is left in the hands of our friend Remain. You might as well say that once more Family haven’t done things by half with this king size package that mixes pleasures. We’d met him before for his excellent remix of Diva (Family005). This time he’s in command. On his label Meant, founded with Siskid, Remain represents the revival of the techno scene. With a strong rock background that he instills subtly into his productions, Remain shows a prominent and smart sense for the dancefloor. With Concrete, he delivers a grand techno moment in which the groove takes us away without ever letting go. We couldn’t imagine a better invitation to the dancefloor, and for a remix. Solo or duo with his partner Steve Cook to form Clouded Vision, Matt Walsh and his neat productions leave no one indifferent. In his hands, Concrete becomes a nu-disco piece to which he holds the secret, a real invitation to the dancefloor. Discovered one year ago (Cambia La Vida), Elagua shows itself as the House part of Family. The Italian trio again give a melodic and terribly catchy tech-house version of Concrete. A remix for sunny dancefloors. Cutting snare, ubiquitous infrabass, this is clearly the essence of the sound of APM001. The founders of Family N.A.M.E set even more their chillingly beautiful and magnetic universe. Around the original vocals, the duo installs an explosive tension, then release it, to then install it again, takes us on a wrong track to finally start over. Electric Rescue have been on a roll these last few years, especially throughout their label Skryptöm. Wich seems natural after fifteen years of good and loyal services to the techno scene. Taking part in not subsiding the original, which he manages brilliantly, he injects a techno energy, a contained rage into Concrete, foolproof from end to end. Other producer from Lille that we’re starting to know, UFO leaves behing the minimal techno in which he excels to make room for a more introspective atmosphere. A techno with a robotic groove to which is added successive layers of sounds. Definitely a cosmic remix. A promise of quality but also of unexpected. Family N.A.M.E is proud to welcome It’s A Fine Line. Tim Paris and Ivan Smagghe take on a relentless techno. An electric replay, with a martial- like rythmic enhanced further on by muffled complaints. A modern and chillingly beautiful dancefloor machine. Pao & mainRo joined the Family two months ago. We had already sensed with their remix of Diva an out taste for sensitive and delicate atmospheres. The duo illustrate themselves once more with a sharp replay of Concrete. Around a cotonny groove, the duo develops a delicate deep house, which is appreciated on the couch as much as on the dancefloor. Matthus Raman pursues his exploration of dark and uncompromising techno. Which his almost industrial remix witnesses, where saturation and tension are knowingly distilled leaving the original melody to appear. Enjoy, play, but please don’t share !
