Each artist took a | | different approach to create mind blowing workout music. This | | compilation proves that GYM aficionados can be melancholic and deeply | | existentialistic, meditating on the world s serious issues, while | | gently pumping iron. | | | | THE GYM emerged out of an old circle of friends, throwing parties and | | DJing together, while slowly building their individual careers. It | | became a record label when founders and co-owners Brandt Brauer Frick | | (Daniel Brandt, Jan Brauer and Paul Frick) made their first steps in | | the music scene. Other GYM members include film & video producers, | | club curators and bodybuilders. | | | | Muscle Tuff is a snapshot of the contributors' current state of mind. | | Eight of nine tracks have been produced exclusively for this | | compilation. | | | | Berlin-based singer and producer Josa Peit opens with "Waste", a | | hypnotic soul sketch, her vocals beautifully fragile and intense, | | with analogue synths creating sonic Alice In Wonderland moments. | | | | Brandt Brauer Frick play a fast and raw Techno track. One feels like | | working out in the jungle, or participating in a ritual worship of an | | archaic goddess. This time, they used only synths, as Juno-106, | | SH-101 or Nord Drums, and left piano and other acoustic instruments | | aside, contradicting their signature sound. | | | | Offenbach-based Bodo Elsel delivers a radical old school approach, a | | bone dry one-take house miniature, crooning "I Can't Reset My Mind" | | in his unimitable sloppy style, over cascades of dry 707, 808 and | | SP12 beats and claps. | | | | Copenhagen producer and long-time collaborator James Braun teams up | | with Dan M for "People Move", a slow burner of the kind that are | | truly hard to find and that take you from a low level into haunting | | ecstasy. | | | | Next up is Berlin's 20 year-old house, bass and hiphop prodigy Max | | Graef with "Nr 3". His exceptional musical skills came to the labels | | attention during an in-store gig at the legendary OYE RECORDS in | | Berlin. He is a unique talent and musically wise beyond his years. | | | | For those who know THE GYM's former releases, it's evident that | | Dollkraut can't miss. The Dutch analogue sound wizard keeps on | | fascinating us with his golden touch for pop moments. "Catch My Soul" | | is an old pearl and one of Dollkraut's most housy tracks. As it has | | never been released on vinyl and has proven to be a long time GYM | | mover it had to be on Muscle Tuff. | | | | THE GYM's brotherhood with Tartelet Records keeps on flourishing on | | Tartelet's label head Muff Deep's contribution: "Let's Go To The | | Gym"! It's hot & sweaty and it gets you. It sounds like a drunken | | Theo Parrish in a Honda, caught in a thunderstorm on his way to THE | | GYM, trying to work the MPC. Kind of. | | | | One of the clubbiest tracks on the album is supplied by Freude am | | Tanzen and BPitch boy Douglas Greed, whose straight and no-bullshit | | techno track "Raw And Order" leads from agitating percussion into | | synth madness, GYM music at its purest. | | | | On its finishing track, Muscle Tuff opens up into the glamorous new | | wave disco world of the mysterious Frenchman Bernard Crochet. He is | | an almost entirely unknown face to the electronic music scene, except | | for his 2012 debut with Dollkraut. We know nothing about him, and | | it's hard to situate him in any context in 2013. One thing is | | certain, he has access to some crazy rare vintage gear and he's not | | afraid of big emotions! | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
