Kassem Mosse - Workshop 12

A1 - Track 1
B1 - Track 2
B2 - Track 3

"The master of modern, abstract and deeply arresting House & Techno drops his third 12" for Workshop - the home of his very best releases. The longer A-side is something special; a mesmerizing piece of decepetively raw, bass-boosted and noirish House music with trapped loops of tension raising Hermann-esque strings, cyber-sensual vox and creepy, half-heard nuance. The flip is built to jack, deep styles, one track deploying depressed square bass cloaked in hovering twilight synth, and a last gasp of tumultuous deep space techno drama." Boomkat

Madteo - Workshop 117

1 - Track 1
2 - Track 2

"This Workshop transmission is controlled by Madteo, a unique NYC-based producer with uncompromising releases on Morphine and Meakusma. The A-side has some mad raw Afro swing, kinda like the recent Congotronics remixes or Stefan Schwander's Harmonious Thelonious project with it's instinctively loopy arrangement and lo-fi hypnotic effect. On the flip is a more sinister, narcotic number set to a sludgy mid-tempo jack and coated in peeling layers of noise and droney samples, reminding of Jamal Moss's Africans With Mainframes sessions condensed into one trippy little side."

Kassem Mosse & Lowtec - Workshop EP - Laid Records 07

A - Kassem Mosse - Untitled
B - Lowtec - Used Me (Laid Remix)

"For its seventh release, the Dial sub-label Laid has commissioned a split 12″ from Berlin’s lauded Workshop family, granting Kassem Mosse and Lowtec one side each. One assumes the two labels share much of the same fan base and so the EP’s outsourcing is a little perplexing. Regardless, both tracks are predictably emblematic of Workshop’s dusty, narcotic take on experimental house." Little White Earbuds
