After the entire "For Whom The Bells Toll", Luka Baumann is back on Sect Records with his new project and moniker, Jolka. Baumann gets deep as fuck on "The Jolka Experience". The whole record is definitely great – I love the warm and lush chords, the deep vibes. This is the most beautiful and deep sort of techno record I’ve heard in a while. Hurrah !

Preview clips of all tracks here [The Jolka Experience by Jolka]:

Sect Records will release The Jolka Experience in September 2009.

Description

Japan’s Itokim releases his debut on Nice & Nasty – a sublime 3 track EP full of melody and depth. Itokim like many of his Japanese peers pays hamge to the innovators of Detroit; the European Techno Soul renaissance; and pure good ol synth sound. This is techno. It is melodic, it is deep, it is also groovy. Itokim is fast becoming of force on the global techno scene after a solid upbringing in the world of human and technological wonder that is Tokyo, Japan.

Here’s some feedback:

• Very Nice Production! – Orlando Voorn (NightVision)
• "two and one" and "we’ve had it all" are awesome! thanks – Russ Gabriel (Ferox)
• Killer release. – Rennie Foster (Dirty Works)
• Amazing Ep, I can not choose my fav, love all tracks … Nice & Tasty!! Full support from me!! – Tony Blunt (Dpress Industries / Thump Elektroniks)
• Digging ‘We’ve Had it All’, love the strings! – Franco Cangelli (Mowar)
• Nice deep and funky release. I dig two&one and between visible and invisible. Great mover. Big thanks for the promo. Full support! – André Kronert (Neurotron)
