Equitant - ReKonstrucktion review

The Fossil Dungeon decided to make us discover (again) Equitant’s creations thanks to a remix cd of a few titles of this dark ambient project which begun its career with a tape released by ‘Seventh Key Creations’ (today, ‘the fossil dungeon’). Numerous artists took part in the making of this album: LEGGO, LETHARGY, EQUITANT (himself), DR. SIAK, MAHURA, BUBBLEDOOR, DJ SLINKY, DJ PISCES, DJ JAKUB, DR. WUNDT, RUBEN MONTESCO, and RAUL PARRA.

With Re-konstruction you are going to be in a minimalist electro world. It is interesting to discover all these reinterpreted titles. Because, from a same title, we get remixes with very different sounds. You just have to listen to the numerous versions of “Elemente” to become aware of this. However each creation has its cold and simple part. And if some tunes are appearing again and again, it’s sometimes in a hidden way, like DR Siak did by hiding the main theme. Ruben Montesco, as for himself, kept the voice while adding an accentuated beat. And what about the title “Last Night In My Body”, relatively dark under Pisces Phenotype’s fingers and very lounge with DJ Jakub?

Lovers of simple and dancing electro are going to appreciate Re-konstruction. But the cd will also urge you to discover Equitant’s original titles.

Weltherrschaft Kompilation I & II review by Nexus - 6

V/A - Weltherrschaft Kompilation I & II – Black Montanas BM072 & BM073

If you’re into dark electronic music with experimental and innovative approach, rush on Black Montanas’s releases, in particular the “Weltherrschaft Kompilation” series. In the musical steps of SolarOneMusic or Transient Force Records to name, this unstoppable and prolific independent label hailing from San Antonio and Dallas, introduces one after the other two virtual packages demonstrating how active is the current underground electro scene. Establishing an audio platform for net artists worldwide in order to give them the exposure these talents deserve and to break the boundaries between musical genres, this copious bundle provides here a refine collection of twenty-nine much anticipated cuts ranging from electronica to techno passing through EBM, abstract, ambient or minimal.

Featuring indiscutable producers Crotaphytus, Dr. Siak, Electroberlin, Equitant, Franck Kartell, Galaxian, Jauzas The Shining, Jonathann Cast, Katelectro vs Jauzas The Shining, Moon Disco, Other Aspect, Raw Mechanics, Scorpio, Starchaser Network, The Breakwaters, Elite, Eldar, Hadamard, Korporation, Mysterium, Svart1, The Pulse Projects, Tesla Monophonic, Trifid Nebula, Uniflux, Valerio Orlandini, Wave Tank, X-in and Zhark. The project offers a mind-blowing selection of fresh, audacious, eclectic, diverse, inspired and sophisticated tunes chosen by the label owner Equitant not only for their dance floor but also for their home listening impact.

From the early Detroit influences of “Battle At Sea” to the C64 80’s tones of “I Need A New Computer” passing through the emotional aesthetism of “Raison d’Etre”, the gloomy minimalism of “Schöne Weihnachten Noch!” or the fearsome distortions of “Black Hand Series 005” to name a few, both compilations cover all kind of sonic register in an exhaustive way, giving an exact idea of what's coming out there at the moment. Must have!
