It’s their third release together (after “Marketel & Marketim”-Marketing Rcds and “Dog or Vodka” – Crack&Speed rcds) and you can expect here some great dance combos while listening to this two tracker. Loic is now living in Berlin, Tim in London and Julien in Paris so it has been a bit of a challenge to gather them to record this new EP. Reason why we have 2 very different textures on this record as both tracks have been made in different studios. First song ‘The Fork’ is a sharp piece of modern techno: straightforward grooves and acid lines make it a dancefloor monster !!! ‘The Trout’ would certainly be so far the ideal crossover between their styles… It builds slowly from a very simple groove and elements after elements, it grows and turns into an hectic and deranged piece of analog house music.

Fierce. And “The Trout” is really really freaky, reminds me a bit of the recent Syclops track on DFA, percussive and unhinged. Good shit.” Will Saul (Simple): “Warm sounds with proper bite. Nice! I think The Trout just edges it for me. Will play for sure”

Parisian studio neighbors TIM PARIS and fresh duo TEKEL put their heads together and incubate two stringently rocking tech-house cuts that easily avoid to trod down the worn-out path but rather blaze their own trail. “marketel” starts out with a bass like a impenetrable wall and fidgety beats that are only painstakingly curbed from breaking loose and additionally get trampled on by clicking percussive sounds like a step-dancer tripin over pots and pans. when a piercing hi-hat and a mad drilling, acidic bassline join in, the leash is finally loosened and the track descends onto the floor in full power additionaly driven by drum rolls and jittering chords. flip over for the slightly more introspective “marketim” that harks back to the innovative times of 70s synth pioneers and krautrock heads with it’s amalgamation of hypnotic rhythms,at times bulky at times etheric analogue synth sounds and dashes of jazz and rock. yet as daring and fresh as this all is it never fails to send you sweating your ass off.

At first glance it might seem to be an odd move by TIM PARIS to call the first release on his new imprint Marketing Music ” a tribute to John Surman”, but you just shouldn’t take this too litteraly: there are no screeching yowling saxophon excursions here – it’s rather the atmospherics, the mood and the will to search for new exciting sounds and rhythms that are reference to one of UK’s leading saxmen and major asset to the famous ECM label catalogue. TIM PARIS mix demonstrates this principal to perfection with serene interwoven melodies as well as fresh sounds bytes and mind-altering technical gadgetry strung together by a loose tech-boogie beat. TEKEL’s contribution is the most straight forward: a busy tech-shaker with a scraping bassline and synth lines striking like bolts from the blue. I:CUBE’s take is very delicate with a impromptu grassroots tribal riddim made of handclaps and few percussion paired with layers of intertwined sweet, childlike melodies that are close to stumble over each other and getting drained in echo.expect to be surprised and step into tomorrow!
