Alex FlatnerAlex Flatner is one of the busiest men in the music industry since last year: directing three labels, spinning his tunes out and about every weekend all over Europe, producing regularly for renowned imprints and being one of the most in demand remixers (New Order, Kool And The Gang, Awex, Tom Wax). With his latest production “Strings of a Maniac” Alex Flatner is defining Tech-House in a new and different fashion: banding together housy grooves and endless wide harmonies.

The results of this exciting fusion are: shaking grooves! A great track like this needs a special remix treatment. Consequently Alex has selected the crème de la crème: Martin Eyerer, Vox Sola and Silversurfer.

A1: .„Strings of a Manic (Vox Sola Rmx)“ His remix for Client´s “Rock and Roll Machine” on Mute and his track “Metro Pop” on James Holden´s upcoming compilation make Vox Sola an international heavyweight. His remix is shining full of clear harmonies and cleverly arranged breaks, far away from all the standards. He succeeds in transforming the original into a crispy and minimal surrounding!

 

A2: “Strings of a Maniac (DJ Silversurfer´s rmx from the rmx Rmx)” Silversurfer is one of Berlin´s most gifted producers. His releases on imprints like Crosstownrebels and BPitch Control together with Kiki founded his status and made him a demanded remixer around the globe. And you can hear his talent on this track! Minimal and reduced sounds are catching you in a discreet but continuous way! What a tune!

 

B1: “Strings of a Maniac (Martin Eyerer Rmx)” Releases on labels like Ministry of Sound, Session de Luxe, his own imprint Kling Klong and last but not least Great Stuff are proofing that his productions are hotter than ever. Besides this he is hosting his radio show “Session Deluxe” on Sunshine Live. With his remix Martin succeeded in giving the original a brand new flavour by adding heavy electronic influenced sounds and a propulsive bassdrum!

 

B2: “Strings of a Maniac (Original Mix)” Clear percussions and a bass line starting completely at the bottom are accelerating the pulse on the dance floor. Flatner combines a driving beat with wide open melodies, strings and spherical sounds. Consequently you will find this track in the cases of different DJs, such as Carl Cox or Bryan Zentz.
