Deru, Pushing Soil [Delikatessen Records – PLATE8, 2004]

Another fine release on Delikatessen Records, this time around it’s Deru getting the remix treatment on the “Pushing Soil” EP. And as usual with Delikatessen it’s all rather tasty, a 10″ vinyl with strikingly good-looking artwork, top-class packaging and four strong tracks. The remixes are done by two household names and two soon-to-be household names.… Continue reading Deru, Pushing Soil [Delikatessen Records – PLATE8, 2004]

Myrza, All You Can Eat [Delikatessen Records – PLATE6, 2003]

The sixth offering from the ever-impressing Delikatessen label. The sixth plate is like the previous servings a 10″ the artwork and packaging is as brilliant as ever. The artists Myrza deliver “Lylt”, “Taksi” and “Lescal” three superbly composed tracks, they all contain cleverly constructed beats and the 10″ is really focused on the rhythmical side… Continue reading Myrza, All You Can Eat [Delikatessen Records – PLATE6, 2003]

EU, Mandarines [Delikatessen Records – PLATE7, 2003]

EU on Delikatessen what can you say? With out a doubt a worthy follow-up to the mysterious Myrza release. Not as intense beats programming, but excellent down-tempo bass-filled electronica bearing EU’s analogue sounding trademark.There are four tracks on the 10″ ranging from the hallow yet solid beats and quirky melody in the forward moving opening… Continue reading EU, Mandarines [Delikatessen Records – PLATE7, 2003]

Funckarma, Bourbon Sounds [Delikatessen Records – PLATE4, 2002]

After the blinding opening done by this relatively new label the plate number four offered by delikatessen is delivered by none other than Funckarma. The Bourbon 10″ contains four tracks and starts of with the previously released “Noir” and it’s crunchiness defined giving the track a hint of harshness however lush strings creates a soothing… Continue reading Funckarma, Bourbon Sounds [Delikatessen Records – PLATE4, 2002]

Lilienthal, Anti-Matter [Delikatessen Records – PLATE5, 2002]

The fifth installement in the delikatessen 10″ series is called “Anti-Matter” and features Lilienthal. Oddly enough Plate5 was released before the fourth release by Funckarma. (At least where I obtained my copy…) But now the order has been restored and five delicious plates are available from delikatessen. The fifth being a four-track offering. “Infinity” contains… Continue reading Lilienthal, Anti-Matter [Delikatessen Records – PLATE5, 2002]

Metamatics, Remixes [Delikatessen Records – PLATE3, 2002]

Metamatics of Neo Ouija fame gets remixed and ends up on this, the third delikatessen release. A-side’s first track “byeway rewired” has the distinct sounds of the remixer: sense. And what a fantastic track it is, a nice build up leading to some serious beats programming and a pulsating deep bass. None other than sense… Continue reading Metamatics, Remixes [Delikatessen Records – PLATE3, 2002]

Crunch, 10″ [Delikatessen Records – PLATE2, 2002]

The mysterious Crunch with an album release on Musik Aus Strom and an EP on Colony is responsible for this second release on delikatessen. The A-side’s single track “boy.rek” is amazing, strong beats sprinkled with some delightful clicks, a solid bass-line and a melody that is sure to bring tears to your eyes. The B-side… Continue reading Crunch, 10″ [Delikatessen Records – PLATE2, 2002]

Lusine ICL, Sustain [Delikatessen Records – PLATE1, 2002]

L’Usine ICL did the honors and was the first to release on delikatessen records. This beautifully packaged 10-inch contains 4 strong L’Usine tracks. As always it is a display of carefully constructed beats, bass-lines and selected sounds. Starting of with “In Flight” a beatless soundscape number that is followed by a Funkstörung remix of L’Usine’s… Continue reading Lusine ICL, Sustain [Delikatessen Records – PLATE1, 2002]
