Dortmund‘s very own Ante Perry introduces his famous Flashing Disco Sounds concept in the form of a fantastic, barrier-breaking DJ mix, and an exclusive additional CD showcasing some of his greatest productions to date plus some new and unreleased tunes.
Fresh from yet another storming Love Parade weekend in Dortmund, the workaholic DJ, Producer, party organiser and self professed ‚Diskobär‘ has made a name for himself over his 8 year career with electronic music. Known for his long, dramatic and unpredictable DJ sets, Ante‘s mix is a finely tuned machine full of building and expanding underground, eclectic house music.
The ‚Flashing Disco Sounds‘ concept is one that refuses to conform to rigid borders and pre-determined directions. The legendary long running parties of the same name, promoted by Ante, have given this multi tasking creative force a reputation for the finest mixture of modern sounds available, and this is translated here over 15 tracks of purest and deepest abandon!
Opening with the beautiful chiming melodies of Ante Perry and Kolombo‘s ‚Reaction‘, the mix quickly shows off its party intentions, mixing into the addictive hypno-funk of Burnski‘s ‚You Said‘. After some uplifting vocal action courtesy of Stereotyp and Fauna Flash the rousing swagger of Johnny D‘s huge ‚Orbitallife‘ takes centre stage.
Later spine tingling moments include Vincenzo‘s recent haunting hit, ‚Fruit Fly‘, back to back Joris Voorn‘s deeply nocturnal ‚Blank‘. Ante brings the pressure with rolling basslines and reminiscent melodies a-plenty, as his co-production with Tube & Berger raises the roof. More bouncing, minimal sentiments unravel from herein, and the might of Heiko Laux exposes his raw and edgy dynamics.
Pushing through till the early hours, Ante keeps the intensity at breaking point with Oliver Klein & Peter Jürgens‘ ‚Scoleville‘, before the warm and spaced out disco delight of Chymera‘s ‚Shadowdancer‘ finishes the mix in true Flashing Disco Sounds style!
The bonus CD included here celebrates Ante Perry: the Producer.
10 unique, un-mixed tracks allow the listener to explore the many different personas that Ante adopts when in the studio, either alone, as a remixer, or alongside production partners Tube & Berger, or Babylon Robots. There are 4 exclusive, new productions made especially for this compilation.
Keys cuts include the rolling, house funk of Ante‘s exclusive track ‚Jay‘, the deep house journey from Dortmund via Hamburg that is Ante‘s remix of Maniax‘s ‚Plutonium Boy‘, and monstrous insanity of ‚Affentanz‘ — those monkeys will never behave!
Ante‘s key collaborators Tube & Berger and Bablylon Robots have also both joined with him in the studio to produce the bombs ‚Walthervondervogelweide‘, ‚Symbiose‘ and ‚Mutant Rebellion‘, respectively. The former are slow building journey tracks with plenty of funk and more than enough stomp, while the ‚Rebelion‘ is a twisted electro jam revolving around some freaky fx and dark, morphing synth lines.
Of course who could miss the other essential inclusions, like Ante‘s insatiable remix of Elia Cassetti Orchestra‘s ‚Infinito‘, or the aptly named ‚3 A.M‘, but we‘re sure you‘ll discover the magic in each and every one of these full length lovelies…!
