For over 20 years now, brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz have been moving the masses with their delightfully clever take on dance music – both from the DJ booth and from behind the mixing board. Two decades later, the brothers, known as Tiefschwarz, show absolutely zero signs of slowing, with their future-forward electronic music remaining as influential as ever. Teaming up with Yawk, a fresh faced Berlin artist on the quick trajectory (and kingpin behind the wicked Studio Kreuzberg imprint), the trio have crafted the latest release for Tiefschwarz’s very own Souvenir Music imprint.
Our debut transmission, ‘North’ is a steady, mind altering slab of weirdo-tech house, with energy levels building and building from the very start. A track that just gets better and better with each passing minute, with more elements being added at the perfect moments. A disjointed bass stab keeps the cut moving forward, with occasional moments where the sounds simply fall of the track into discordant territories (clearly meant to cause the listener to take notice). Truly twisted, groovy and perplexing 4/4 music that will surely lock the dancefloor into a hypnotic state of dancing.
