Josia Loos was actually more into rock music before he discovered the techno thing. He started DJing and moved from his homebase Frankfurt/Main to Berlin in order to dig deeper in to music and the scene. In this time of DJing and producing a lot, he developed a musical style that combines Techno and Hedonism with Psychedelic Rock and social criticism.
Josia played his colourful,excessive sound all over Berlin at well-known venues as Sisyphos or Weekend, but also in numerous german cities and in neighbour countries like Poland, Luxembourg, Lithuania or Austria.
As producer and remixer Josia combines dirty electro bass lines with deep psychedelic soundscapes and effects on a base of minimal techno beats.
With the concept-LP Trippin Thru The Tunnel Josia recover’s the influences of his time in Berlin. Five tracks are telling the story of an adventurous escape from an exhausting world of technology and control towards a reunion with nature. The trip leads through dark club-scenerys of dreamlike visions, machine-wars and emotional outbreaks.
The first Remix comes from our good friend Namito,for 'Shaman Ritual' he got together with Solmaz Lou, a rising star in the sky of New York .
ExtraDruck is a Minimal/Techno project founded by Robin Mosco. Some of his own productions and Remixes are released on labels like Berlin Aufnahmen, Embrion Music, Flat Belly Blue Recordings and other. They enter the competition with a Remix for 'Flashback'.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most experimental and forward thinking techno releases of the year should be Josia Loos mini album that combines techno with melodic and organic elements creating a painting of sounds that is not exactly for the big dancefloors but the more small intimate clubs. The two new remixes coming on Blu Fin are worth purchasing cause simply shine with quality and tendency to be unique, different and not sound like anything else out there. Namito & Solmaz Lou is not a surprise that they choose to remix Shaman Ritual. Their deep house minimal version is groovy and hypnotic with irresistible rhythm, melancholic riff on top and trance music like wah wah style vocal effects. If you search for the spiritual side of deep techno music this track represents it in my opinion really well. The ExtraDruck is very creative minimal techno take on the original with danceable techy beats, deep basslines and various cinematic sound effects. In the breakdown the awesome rock guitar sample is applied in its entirety and will recall artists like Wankelmut. Both remixes attempt to communicate in different inspiring ways and this is what it counts. Love iT
