REVIEW: Ferhat Albayrak - Requiem out on Jeton records

1-Original Mix
2-Tom Hades Remix
3-Lance Blaise Remix

The thirty firsth release of Jeton Records, originally based in Istanbul and with a branch in Berlin, owned and managed by Turkish Techno Player Ferhat Albayrak, presents Requiem EP, includes remixes from Tom Hades and Lance Blaise.

Ferhat Albayrak finished this track app. 1 year ago and played almost in all of his gigs in 2011, having huge feedback from the crowd. Also Carl Cox played The Original Mix all summer long in Space Ibiza and reactions were incredible.

The Original Mix from Ferhat Albayrak is nothing but a 4/4 drum loop with ultra-low bass-line and a tight kick combination, spiced-up with Turkish Instruments percussions and side effects but most importantly a traditional man vocal which is making a real Requiem.

Tom Hades, who is the man on fire in Techno Scene right now with his superb works and his respected Rhythm Convert(ed) Label, transforms the original mix to a floor-filler. Typical Tom's Sound, full-range carefully produced and a detailed work on highs and mids, with nice break-down and a perfect rise, this is the remix of Main Room you are looking for.

When you log onto Teggno Records Label Head Lance Blaise's web site, it says "Dark Experimental Techno" which totally what you get on his remix. A dark vocal looped all over the track, freak fx-work and carefully selected kicks, this remix completes the package perfectly.

Ferhat Albayrak Requiem EP is a conclusion of a long-time hard work and with respected real Techno Artists of the scene, will feed your all kind of sets. Enjoy !

Ferhat Albayrak - Requiem (Played by Carl Cox) by ferhatalbayrak

Dimitri Kechagias review: Ferhat is a trusted force in the global techno circuit and his label provides the techno scene with sure crowd pleasers. The original mix of Requiem is a superb example of deep techno with constant relentless groove, dark atmosphere with dark mysterious melodies and the cherry on top is of course the awesome ethnic Turkish vocal that works like a treat within the sound environment that Ferhat has build once again very successfully. Tom Hades continues on the same deep pattern but transforms the track into a bouncy banging techno rocker with warm basslines, clever sound effects and trancy influences as well. He doesn't use the vocal and he prefers to focus on the sound textures and complex layers. Lastly Lance Blaise provide a dark spooky remix as he applies a male vocal repeating I Lost Control and then he adds deep  techno rough and sharp beats that in a way stay on the background and work in our subconciouss. He doesn't use the ethnic vocal as well. Very creative and unique version that is very strong indeed!  Like it!
