We celebrate the '50' in Pink ;)

ZIPF ZUPF is the debut EP of TAKT A&R Tim Schroeder from Cologne Germany. This 4 track EP takes you on a journey from Acid grooves straight to your mind with „ZIPF“ to a more deep emotional track with a trancy guitar sound on „ZUPF“. Followed by „Crazy Stuff“ a techno bomb which speaks for itself and ends with atmospheric synth sounds in „B-Lever“. Check this massive EP out! 









Dimitri Kechagias review: The top techno label Takt Records part of the BluFin records family presents 4 massive anthems in one big pink package. Tim Schroeder delivers his ZIPF ZUPF EP and what you can say other than prepare to dance and sweat on the dancefloor. Zipf is an excellent deep techno viber with cool housey infusions and acid infiltrations. Groovy and hypnotic to the maximum what you need is just a loud speaker to play it and enjoy it's dark flavours. Zupf is a top moody tech house alternative with analogue feel and very nice atmosphere and danceable groove. Excellent tribalish percussion, funky basslines and great guitar riffs in the breakdown.  Laid back and spacey is definitely an invite to discover and feel the good old school vibes in truly futuristic packaging. Crazy Stuff is a minimal 8 minutes techno track with snake like charm that slowly evolves and allows to come to the surface the very groovy playful wonking and absolutely maddening synthy melody. Lastly B-Lever is the very cool minimal techno tune with great vocal samples and synthy melody along with nice atmosphere on top to keep the dancefloor moving and shaking. Love IT

Alex Nemec comes from the small country called Slovenia, the same little country that brought Umek, Laibach and few other biggies to the world! 

 Starting to play out in clubs in 1998, he is an experienced dj and most surely best know as being one half of Alex & Filip. The duo has been working together since 2005 till late 2012 and their list of originals and remixes is quite sure impressive. 

 In the time being they had remixed artists like Dave Seaman, Inkfish, Trafik, Kassey Voorn, Jeff Bennet, Tim Andresen, Autophase, Fiord, Subfractal, Ran Shani, Sonic Union & Bastards of Funk and Soulwerk to name a few. Their originals and remixes appeared on highly respected independent labels like Tronic, Respekt, Rekluse, Baroque, Freshin, Flow Vinyl, Lowbit, MUM, Tulipa, Inkfish, Stripped and many more! 

 Together they have received the support and respect from well established DJ's from all over the dance music scene including tastemakers like John Digweed, Spektre, Fergie, Dave Seaman, Joseph Capriati, Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Tiesto, Mark Knight, Miniminds, Nick Warren, Loco & Jam, Jim Rivers, Mr. Henry Von, Eddie Halliwell, Dubfire and Tomy DeClerque to name but a few! 

 Now we have Alex Nemec together with Nik Feral on Takt Records for the very first time :) let's see what happens 

Dimitri Kechagias review: The super cool record label Takt Records presents the superb EP by Alex Nemec & Nik Feral. Two awesome tracks that will find space within   progressive house and tech house dj sets. The very original and inspiring Pegasus is the more progressive house friendly cut that is driving, energetic and with excellent progression of the various elements. Dark, hypnotic, moody and tripping with fantastic percussion, organic elements and little sweet synthy melody that is played again and again and will be hard not to memorise  it. Its the kind of track that will hook you straight away. Unicorn on the other side is the more tech house friendly so I can imagine wide variety of djs to adopt it for their sets. Chunky groovy tasty beats, funky playful basslines, cool vocal samples and magnificent breakdown that reveals a beautiful electronic synthy riff that leads the track to its final sequence. These two are hot properties so better don't miss them! Love IT

Dimitri Kechagias review: Takt records from Cologne never rests and each week brings amazing releases to our attention. The latest one comes from Matt Keyl. His AG Ep includes two massive cuts AG & Shake Shake that is pretty hard to choose which one is the most effective for your dancefloor. AG is the deeper moodier haunting one with retro influences, spoken vocal samples, chopped singing vocals and dramatic melodies coming and going. Its perfect for classic Detroit techno sets. Shake Shake is the more upfront and the most accessible for non techno followers. The percussion is alive and danceable with tribal drums performing irresistible Latin rhythm that oblige the listener to Shake Shake. Also many singing and spoken vocal samples are sprinkled on top to create a very tasty flavour for the listener. Techno and tech house purists will adore both tracks and I can even imagine house djs adopting Shake Shake. Love IT
