Olivier Giacomotto – Jilik EP
Beatport Music Awards nominee, Olivier Giacomotto, has become one of the most artists on demand in the electronic music scene. Apart from being an international dj, producer and in-demand remixer, he runs Definitive Recorings along with John Acquaviva. Together they tour the world’s most famous venues, delivering their unique sound of warm, funk fueled tech house.
Olivier Giacomotto is no stranger to the perfect groove and here he delivers another lesson with Jilik‘s evil bass doing all the talking, while indecipherable spoken word snippets and what can only be described as James Brown on crack go head to head with busy snares. The rocksteady groove keeps going on Malmy with crackling percussion and and persistent hats doing their thing.

UMEK & Pleasurekraft – Korea (Original Mix)
Umek has two decades of global touring and powerful production under his belt , and the always-so-original Pleasurekraft is known for his mode of production and distinct styles in the tech-house genre – When these two collab, there is sure to be tension as to who will dominate style over the other . But ”Korea” is a perfect collab that does not undermine but boost’s the other’s calibre.
Umek begins with minimal percussive lead before swirls of synths that breakdown into infectious rhythms. Pleasurekraft’s dancey influence can also be felt throughout the track, with those strechy basslines and luminous chord progressions that carries the backbone of the track.
We know tech-house isn’t the most popular EDM genre, but it’s popularity is rapidly growing around the world, and people like Pleasurekraft and Umek are a major reason why.
This track is a ear worm !
Umek – I Need You (Original Mix)
The excitement when Umek unveils yet another track on his 1605 Music Therapy imprint is unparalleled and when the ace brings out his second track since turning into the New Year he does so in style. This cheeky, house-ish, chopped-to-bits vocals, with rerunning vocal loop show that Umek is digressing from his energetic techno style and is now experimenting with chuggier grooves with thicker loops while keeping his tight bassline in check. In essence ‘I Need You’ is a perfectly composed tech house/minimal production with vocals that not only compliment the track, but add intensity and imagery to the structure of the track itself.
