Marc Volt brings a spark to the house scene that his name demands, lighting up playlists and sets belonging to Danny Howard, Hannah Wants, Camelphat, Solomun, Riva Starr and Joris Voorn: a star selection of those hyping the Amsterdam-based producer’s sound.

Support for Divine verifies her godliness in house circles, with Low Steppa, Mark Knight, David Guetta, Sam Divine, Bob Sinclar and Oliver Heldens all in her corner, and Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1 blasting her across the world's airwaves.

“‘All I Need’ was born in a lockdown session” says Volt, “during a time where we both felt the world needed some words about love and that special someone that will always complete you - a sweet track, made in sad times, that can now start spreading happiness”. For all the feels and freedom of house music, Volt and Divine ask that you look no further.

ENGLISH:

New Release: Chris Gerber heralds a post-pandemic rave age.

“CU at the Venue” a phrase we haven’t been able to say for a too long time was packed by Chris Gerber into a 2 track maxi single to herald the walk into the clubs post corona disaster. After a long break from releasing, Chris tweaked his synths and tried his hand at various versions of “CU at the Venue”. The file Final_version_85_finafinal then embodied the two tracks “CU” and “At the Venue”. Alongside tender vocals from Fabian Baumert, a close friend of Chris’, the release reels out as an ode to pioneering UK clubs that played a major role in shaping electronic music.

The record kicks off pretty busy as different worlds collide in “CU”. In the intro you are greeted by a breakbeat, which develops into a straight four on the floor rhythm with iconic 909 drums. Vocal chops, bongos and recorded leads straight from a 1984 Casio synth take you back to an age when the internet still made dial-up noises before you could access colourful websites through Netscape. A breakdown in the center of the track presents the soft and almost eerie vocals in their full splendour. With renewed breakbeats and an aggressive synth bass, you find yourself in a call and response thunderstorm in combination with the vocal line.

“At the Venue” takes over the second half of the maxi single introducing a dry breakbeat from second 1 which meets hard 808 basses. With a nod to “CU”, hazy Trance pads then take you on a journey through a jungle of vocal chops and before you realise it, you end up back at the starting point of the track – a self-contained cycle.

“CU at the Venue” embodies the debut of Chris Gerber’s newly established label “Computer Toys”and can be heard worldwide starting 5th November 2021. Who knows, maybe we will see each other on the dance floor soon.

About Chris Gerber

Complex, cohesive, rough and atmospheric at the same time – to get to the bottom of Electronica producer Chris Gerber’s sound, these terms only scratch the surface. As a teenager, the Hanover native couldn’t find any bands in his scene, that he fit into, so he decided to take his musical visions into his own hands with his guitar and a loop pedal. With the discovery of Ableton Live, the wonderful world of electronic music was revealed to him. So Chris dove further into the playground of synths and drum machines, forgetting more and more about his guitar. With inspirations and role models like Jamie XX, Bicep and Denis Sulta, he creates his version of contemporary Electronica, with strong influences from the 1990s and early 2000s. Breakbeats, 909 hits and hard 808 basses, that are combined with warm synth pads and almost cheesy Casio-synth leads are part of Chris Gerber’s agenda. His productions are physically thrilling but emotively driven, while his approach is rather playful than serious. Despite Gerber’s musical complexity, you always intuitively know where the journey is going. The new maxi single “CU at the Venue” embodies the debut of his newly established label “Computer Toys” – satisfaction guaranteed.

DEUTSCH:

Produzent Chris Gerber feiert Label-Kick-Off mit Maxi-Single

“CU at the Venue” – Einen Satz, den wir schon zu lange nicht mehr sagen konnten, verpackte Chris Gerber in eine 2-Track Maxi Single, um den Gang in die Clubs Post-Corona-Disaster einzuläuten. Nach einer längeren Veröffentlichungspause, schraubte Chris an den verschiedensten Versionen von “CU at the Venue” bis die Datei “Final_version_85_finafinal” schlussendlich die beiden Nummern “CU” und “At the Venue”enthielt. Neben Vocals von Fabian Baumert, einem engen Freund von Chris, ist das Release eine Ode an die UK Clubs, die für die Entwicklung der Rave-Szene entscheidend waren.

Zu Beginn der Maxi-Single treffen in “CU” verschiedene Welten aufeinander. Das Intro wird durch einen Breakbeat getragen, welcher sich dann zu einem straffen Four on the Floor Beat mit ikonischen 909 Drums entwickelt. Vocal Chops, Bongos und eingespielte Leads, direkt von einem 1984 Casio Synth, versetzen einen in das Zeitalter, als das Internet noch Dial-Up Geräusche von sich gab, bevor man über Netscape bunte Webseiten besuchen konnte. Ein Breakdown in der Mitte des Tracks präsentiert die sanften und schon fast gespenstischen Vocals in ihrer vollen Pracht. Ohne Vorwarnung befindet man sich in einem spannungsgeladenen Call and Response Gewitter zwischen den zarten Vocals und einem aggressivem Synth-Bass.

“At the Venue” übernimmt die zweite Hälfte der Maxi-Single mit einem trockenen Breakbeat und harten 808 Bässen. Mit einer Referenz zu “CU”, begleiten einen trancy Flächen auf einer Reise durch einen Dschungel von Vocal Chops und bevor man es realisiert, endet man wieder am Beginn des Tracks – ein in sich geschlossener Kreis.

“CU at the Venue” ist das Debut von Chris Gerbers neuen Labels “Computer Toys” und kann ab dem 5. November 2021 weltweit gehört werden. Und wer weiß, vielleicht sieht man sich ja bald auf der Tanzfläche.

Über Chris Gerber

Komplex, rau und zugleich atmosphärisch – so könnte man Sound des Electronica Produzenten Chris Gerber umreißen. Als Jugendlicher fand der Hannoveraner keine passenden Bands in seiner Szene, weshalb er sich entschied seine musikalischen Visionen mit der Gitarre und einem Loop-Pedal selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Durch die Entdeckung von Ableton Live offenbarte sich ihm die wundervolle Welt der elektronischen Musik. So tauchte Chris immer tiefer in den Spielplatz von Synthesizern und Drum Machines ein, wodurch seine Gitarre immer weiter in den Hintergrund rückte. Mit Inspirationen und Vorbildern wie Jamie XX, Bicep und Denis Sulta kreiert er seine Variante zeitgenössischer Electronica-Musik mit starken Einflüssen aus den 90ern und frühen 2000ern. Breakbeats, 909 Hits und harte 808 Bässe, kombiniert mit warmen Synth-Pads und schon beinahe kitschigen Synth-Leads vom Casio Keyboard, sind bei Chris Gerber Programm. Seine Produktionen sind mitreißend und emotional zugleich. Seine neue Maxi-Single “CU at the Venue” ist das Debüt seines brandneuen Labels “Computer Toys” – satisfaction guaranteed

Husko – Feel The Heat (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, House, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“New dancefloor dynamite, out now from "Husko". Realize the power of this House vibe which can raise the temperature in hot levels. Steady beat, funky melody and uplifting vocals. What else do you need to start the dance?”

-Nagamag.com

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen – but if you’re fly enough to ‘Feel The Heat’, you’ve got a hot one on your hands. Husko hits a summer house home run slash disco slam dunk, opening with a punkish bassline and then introducing a killer double act that cements the track’s status as absolutely boogiesome. Diva wisdom on vocals - keeping matters pushin’ on but never a pushover - and a gloriously glam Rhodes groove stuffed on soul food, get Husko’s beats cooking, the results earning chef’s kisses all round.

A conqueror of the local scene and now with global gains stacking up nicely, including hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams, Maltese producer Husko has worked his way into the record boxes and onto the hard drives of Amine Edge and DANCE, Dennis Sulta and Annie Mac, who gave strong backing to Husko’s ‘One Night Stand’ on her weekend-starting BBC Radio 1 show. Husko’s hold on house has seen him open live for the likes of Patrick Topping, Mark Knight and Mella Dee, and serve up club essentials for Toolroom Records, Glasgow Underground and CUFF.

Earlier this year Husko released ‘Love Can’ on Be Yourself Music, a pure piece of uplifting house showing his commitment to keeping core dance music values alive. Such attention to the groove means Malta’s main man is guaranteed a warm reception wherever he goes.
