Einmusik – 5 A.M Remixes [Einmusika Recordings]

by Priya Sen November 4, 2014

Samuel Kindermann alias Einmusik; Berlin based man of the hour to label head at Einmusika Recordings, handpicks talented producers from all over the world and gives those musicians a platform from where they can show-case music Samuel believes in. But here’s where Einmusik steps out from the spot-light and sums up 6 of his original tracks to various producers trail blazing the scene with 6 different overtures in the pack titled- ”5 A.M Remixes”.
First up Einmusik’s ”Screaming Hand” gets an Oliver Schories Remix fanned up by a warm groove, built around a sleek minimal chassis. The melody pad tumbles around super favorably with much of the track smothered in Deep pressured synth, and restrained Deep House Bass throbs. Quite the winner this one. The aforementioned original gets tackled again but with Berlin duo Kruse & Nuernberg throwing down a sleazy little take this time around. Their remake has a lot of space in the groove and the tempo a tad lazy. Having said that, the kicks are much stronger and the bass line accessible funky.
Next up ”Bisloa” gets a rework from Swiss act Animal Trainer, the track epitomizes dance floor friendly beats. Fractured soulful vocals take over and mellow pads cascade on clickety clacks, wondrous slippery bass moving at a brisk pace all through to the end. The cloudy synths and dreamy pondering of melody works real well too.
On the flip side, the title tune ”5 A.M” gives Acid Pauli a chance to remix the track with charm filled layering and precision Bass thuds. The squirting melody line and bubbling bass is just Tiramisu for the ears all the 8 minutes. It’s sprayed with overlapping chimes one on top of the other shifting speed at will, disorientating yet so elegant and well made, that I cannot help but fall in love with this rework.

”Sacro Bosco” brings in Marc DePulse in to the scheme of things, by having an ”iron hand in a velvet glove” kinda outing. The bass line gets constant escalation right through and people might just get surprised at how hard they have to actually dance on this one. It’s that tricky track, your mother didn’t warn you about. The melody has much fissured attitude and the track just keeps swelling up and away.
Finishing off brilliantly ”Azur” has a Ran Salman remix that’s party fodder warehouse style. As a sharp shooting producer, he comes up ace with his handiwork that speaks abrasive tone, flanked with a sinewy sharp melodic sample, dense angular Bass jars and a cavernous underground groove, at times sounding frenetic, at times swerving and playing with your mind, decoration that fastens all over the tune.
