1-Mongolium(Timo Maas remix)
2-Mongolium(Nick Warren remix)
3-Vyclone(Hans Bouffmyhre remix)
4-M1(SQL remix)
Mixes from Timo Maas, Nick Warren, Hans Bouffmyhre and SQL, EDM master craftsman Kramnik will return soon with the release of his first full-length album, “Dark Matters”.
Highly revered within the electronic music community, Kramnik effortlessly combines flawless production skills with a fearless approach to sampling throughout.
Progressive techno is the spinal cord of “Dark Matters”, with each track a journey through an atmospheric soundscape. Kramnik’s bulletproof understanding of the conventions of the genre has given him license to throw that rulebook out the window. It is intensely cerebral work, music for the true connoisseur.
“Dark Matters” also comes with a hefty remix package based around the album’s most startling and brilliant tracks, Viclone, M1 and Mongolium.
Mongolium is given the star treatment with remixes by Timo Maas and Nick Warren. Maas delivers an incredible deep, dark track that represents some of his best ever work. His desire to pursue a less mainstream sound and return to his underground roots is paying off big time. Warren, as is to be expected, breaks the mould with a track that is the furthest away from Kramnik’s original techno sound, planting its feet firmly in the progressive house arena.
Additional remixes are included from Hans Bouffmyhre and SQL for a grand total of four not-to-be-missed new tunes.
A selection of EPs, tactfully distributed via Soundcloud and released on Kramnik’s own label, Kram Records, meant tracks ended up in the record bags of some impressive names. Luciano, Paco Osuna, Sasha, Oliver Deutschmann, M.A.N.D.Y., Matt Darey, Cevin Fisher, Misstress Barbara, Danny Tenaglia, Paul van Dyk, Magda, Richie Hawtin, Sander Kleinenberg, Stephan Bodzin and others have all shown support for Kramnik over the past twelve months.
Kramnik – Dark Matters Remixes Volume 2 will be released October 20th on Kram Records and available on www.beatport.com and all other online retailers.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The first part of remixes was really stunning with Hernan Cattaneo & Martin Garcia offering a big peak time tribal house version, Gabriel Ananda moving in a deeper minimal techno route, Ben Sims doing what he knows best to rock the crowd with his tough techno vibes and Franco Bianco & Mike Wall going deep tech house for a very atmospheric piece of dance music. The 2nd package shines with big names too. Timo Maas put his hands on Mongolium and recreates it into a deep atmospheric 9 minutes tech house beauty that is exotic and very hypnotic too. Nick Warren provides the progressive house makeover of tha same track on a remix that will recall the Northern Exposure classics for sure. 10 minutes of tribal bubbly beats, funky basslines and great atmosphere and melodies to travel our minds all the way to Mongolia. In his breakdown he reveals a very anthemic riff that adds to the track more movement and progression. Absolutely brilliant remix from the master of the real British progressive house sound. Vyclone is remixed by Hans Bouffmyhre who delivers an energetic atmospheric tribal techno version soaked with drama and suspense. Lastly M1 is remixed by SQL who provides a very cinematic energetic progressive techno version that has a certain magic to it for sure. EDM at its best. Love IT!
