OUT SOON! Ryan Van Blanken - Untitled EP - Saytek & Nikkolas Research Rmxs


Another great new signing to Elektek, we welcome Australia's Ryan Van Blanken with a big smile and open arms.

Ryan brings us a two track EP called Untitled EP. This is oozing with deepness showing you, once again, the deeper side to Elektek Recordings.

The opening track is Untitled Render, expect deep chords with a grooving bassline which sits under the track carrying it along nicely. The live drum sounds make this track slightly different to what you would normally expect from Elektek but we couldn't resist. Expect dreamy deep tech house.

On the remix duties we have the one and only Saytek, this guys knows how to move a dancefloor with his signature Live sets. He takes the opening track to another level, adding tribal goodness and sparkling cymbals giving it an overall more upbeat techy feel.

Next up is our man, Nikkolas Research. Nikkolas takes this already cool track and makes it slightly more up beat again. He adds a more low slung sub bass groove but still giving it, maybe, a more deep techno-y feel.

Track two, IS-A-WAIR is another cool, deep tech house track. Low slung bass with cool chord stabs and live drum sounds. The dubby vocal swings in and out of the track along with nice dubby FX making this track one for the deep and tech heads alike...

On remix duty for this once again is Nikkolas. He again takes it more towards the techno side of tech house without taking away the subtle and greatness of the original track. Concentrating on using the vocal snippet, adding effects to twist it up slightly to create a cool subtly more upbeat version of the original.

These guys are really on form at the moment, with a string of releases under their belts this year, you know they are ones to look out for and we welcome them as always, with open arms.

A three tracker made for dark, smokey dancefloors. The opening track, Turn On, delves into the darker side of Techno. Deep, Dark and Driving Minimal Techno with enough kick and bass to destroy any dance floor. Add a building spooky but awesome synth and you have it. Once the track drops for the first time you know you've got a dancefloor destroyer on your hands.

Next you have Tune In, another belter. Starts of techy then the bass comes in. The track gradually gets darker and darker. The percussion takes you on a journey, weaving its self round your brain until you finally hear the track drop and you have it, dancefloor desruction!

Last but by no means least you have Drop Out, subby kick drum with clicks piercing through the track, along with sharp hats, nice percussive hits and big drops, another killer track.

Support on this release: ABOVE & BEYOND, Anderson Noise, Anthony Pappa, Bob Swans, Carl Anians, Da Funk, Dj Rosie Romero, Enton Mushi, John Karagiannis, Mark Knight, Markie Gee, Martin Bundsen, Mastiksoul, Morgan Tomas, Nadja Lind / Klartraum (Soma Rec.), Nikkolas Research, Paco Osuna, Pedro Delgardo, Pierre Deutschmann, Sarah Main, Steve Murrell, Tom Hades, Alex Martin, David Laake...and lots more ;)

And there you have it, Enjoy!!
