IO (MULEN) レコード& CD

Review: REPRESS ALERT: Ukrainian artist iO is the next to make his mark on One Records with
'Mir', including two intricate and sophisticated, rolling dance floor
tracks of the highest quality. On remix duty, the profoundly talented
Cab Drivers showcase their unique production style, as they too are
warmly welcomed to the label.
Part of the game for a number of years now, iO's successful releases
can be found on imprints such as Rejected, Noir Music, Area Remote,
Leftroom, VIVa, Highway Records and his own Mulen Records which he
started in 2012 and released his stunning debut album with on in 2013.
Aside from his skills in the studio, iO's talents as a DJ also see him play
regularly at the likes of Arma17 (Moscow), Studio 80 (Amsterdam) and
Boom Boom Room (Kiev), also appearing at events such as ADE, WMC,
Exit and Kazantip.
Hugely respected Berlin residents Cab Drivers aka ZKY & Daniel Paul are
well known for their distinguished productions and live showcases. Their
well established record label Cabinet Records holds an extensive
catalogue of quality music and places them even further within the
real elite of electronic music.

Review: Berg Audio according to its online profile is "a dub techno oriented label finding its inspiration in the lost monuments of the soviet era". This various artists EP inaugurates the fresh imprint and what a great start. Man of the moment iO (Mulen) kicks things off on side A with "The Kingdom Of Darkness" which follows on with his breaks driven style and immaculate production standards as always; definitely much more dub techno than minimal house this time around. KW aka the man from Uranus Kris Wadsworth serves up the liquid groove of "Aquarius" complete with some serious 808 bounce. On the flip the man from Guestrow, Andre Kronert (who presents the label's next release) gives us the Fachwerk style dub techno of "The Architect" while Swiss producer The Idealist serves up the sexy and slinky deep house of "Starflow" which reminds us of late noughties grooves by Quarion or Slowhouse.
