f you haven’t realised yet, it’s 2008! And Flash Recordings are back with a bang. This time around the label owners Oliver Koletzki and Florian Meindl joined forces again with their tough breed of Minimal and Electro creating their unique signature sound that has been hailed as the New German Techno. After singles by Daso, Pawas and Lützenkirchen, the two masterminds behind the imprint have decided to throw their skills together in a big pot, stir it around a couple of times and spice it up with some dance floor mania. And their brew is lethal! Cyclone is one of those tracks that will completely reorganise any dance floor. Koletzki´s charming melodies are mixed with some tough minimal Meindleske beats that break down in a crescendo of effects and synthie patterns. This is a magic potion! On the flip there is Tiger. With its strong bassline the track lurks around the corner eagerly waiting to bite the crowd with an enchanting arpeggio and some great stabby chords. Tiger is more introvert and deep, but nevertheless it’s a smoothly thumping tune that one could perfectly imagine hearing towards the end of a night or at the beginning of the After hour. It will slowly get you up on your feet and make you realise that the party is definitely not over yet. Don’t go home! Once again Koletzki and Meindl remind us what Flash is all about: wonderfully crafted tracks that positively stand out of the release jungle that is German techno.
