Mix by Gene

Through catalogue # 17 we are again introducing a refreshing artist at Soap Records. Gene is from Tel Aviv and migrated to New York in early 2008. The three tracks on this EP indeed mark his very first release, even though the precision of individual sounds rather suggest an old studio stager. The longer side A - Goa Morning is about a distinctive spotlight with a bass line, as if especially made for the upcoming summer. It is almost needless to mention, that at least by the break, a grand art piece will be presented on the dance floor.

The absolute contrary is – Finsternis ist tief (Darkness is Deep). This track is a perfect Rave tool! The sound of the sirens can be understood as reminiscence of Mathew Dear’s Audion Tracks. A second A-side, however, placed here as B1.

On the other hand, with the B2-track – Moving Images, Gene displays his house-side and, applies the use of wind instruments in an extreme functional but not cheesy way. A truly diversified first release, prompting the revival of an old radio slogan: Remember where you heard him first. More about this young man soon on this channel.

Mix by Rick Nicholls and Asher Jones

Soap Records welcomes a new interesting UK based Producer Duo, listed on catalogue number 16. Rick Nicholls and Asher Jones knew each other since their early youth, However, they only started producing together since 2007. With just a hand full of labeled singles and remixes such as Noir Music and Yellow Trail, their tracks have already been supported in a high-karat quality such as Laurent Garnier and John Digweed. Despite the fact that the Duo has so far remained widely undiscovered in Germany, this should now change with the new EP for Soap Records. At this point we can modestly say that the Duo clearly provides a solid Techno Hit with their side A Shameless. Shameless consists of a crystal clear bass wall, including the short but efficient vocal sample 'Shame' and additional rave signals. As for the finale, the good-olde 303 gets to also shine. Peaktime Entertainment par Excellence. With Break Your Heart on side B, the two Britons manage another smart Techno-house Groove. It’s remarkable how every single sound has precisely been written out. Verifiable on your own stereo, or at the club of your choice.

Welcome on board!
