Review: Adam Port, &ME and Rampa at team up with Little Dragon are quite the collaboration here on 'Saving My Love', a one track 12' where the deep house sound of Berlin collides with Swedish pop sensibilities. Proper mood music for late night basement parties, the Keinemusik trio's idiosyncratic style of bold, emotive and futuristic groove is the perfect backdrop to Yukumi Nagano's breathtaking vocals. Tip!
Review: German producer Adam Port isn't exactly a new name in the production game racking up under the radar releases on Liebe Detail and Moon Harbour, but he really came to the fore last year with a deft rework of sex obsessed indie R&B crooner The Weeknd. The edit was subsequently licensed for release on Play It Down, and has angled Port on an upwards trajectory. Now considered hot property, Port signals his growing production prowess with a return to Jesse Rose's blossoming sub-label with the two track drop Sally. The title track seems poised for plenty of summer play from the Hot Creations crew, lining a sample Stetsasonic once used to perfect effect over a constantly bubbling sub heavy groove. Flip her over and "Voyage" is one for the heads, showing Port at his deepest in swiftly locking onto a dubby groove that undulates and fizzes in all the right places.
Review: Keinemusik have made a shocking wave on the international minimal house and techno scene. Two of its core members and executive officers, Adam Port and Alan Dixon, here present a brand new collab single: 'Forms Of Love' is so emotive that its piano, drums, strings and synth flourishes register deep in the gut, the sonic equivalent of a deep bacteria detox. Recalling the slow mournful builds of Rising Sun blended with the of live drumwork Harvey Sutherland or Mim Suleiman, the track is surely our next set-closer go-to.

Review: German producer Adam Port has been a mainstay of the tech house scene since his first drops on Souvenir and liebe*detail back in the late 00s, and here he's linking up with singer-songwriter Monolink for 'Point Of No Return', the kind of brooding song-meets-club epic that fills stadiums with its sheer emotionality. Monolink's voice hits that heavy-hearted tone to match Port's yearning, dramatic production to such great effect, you can entirely understand why they chose to make this release a special single-track 12". If you like your tech house big and bold and shot through with Autumnal moods, you're going to need this record in your life.
Review: Two years after first hooking up in the studio, Adam Port once again joins forces with veteran British duo Stereo MCs. In its original form, "Changes" sees mic man Rob B wearily half singing, half rapping over Port's melodious, tech-tinged deep house backing track. Although the music is quietly positive and attractive, the track feels strangely subdued. It's accompanied by a couple of fine, more obviously club-focused remixes. Port's own hypnotic, bubbly tech-house re-make expertly mines the Innervisions back catalogue for inspiration, while Freerange boss man Jimpster laces Rob B's entire vocal (spoken word section included) over snappy beats, rich bass, and immaculate deep house chords.
Review: Aiming squarely for the charts once again come German and American minimal maestros Adam Port and Stryv, together joining forces with the irresistibly tremolo'ing voice of singer Malachiii. Few songs in the contemporary climate do so well as those which blow up on social media, and 'Move' is one such case. The present zeitgeist's mode of "hip ennui" is achieved with great celerity here, with the track's instrumental weaving an excessive yet insouciant trance around Malachiii's neon croons. Impressively echoic, it's the fusion of minimal techno and contemporary Afrobeats - both fervently identifiable styles - that make this one catchy.
Review: Berlin tech house heavyweights team up here on 'You Are Safe' a collaboration between &ME, Adam Port and Rampa on their Keinemusik imprint. The city natives hand in a collection of deep and evocative cuts, that are brought to life by some exceptional studio engineering, sitting somewhere between the sleek late night grooves of local imprint Souvenir as much as it does Innervisions with its melodic and futurist edge. Highlights on here include the hi-tech soul of "Civilist" calling to mind the sonic grooves of Toto Chiavetta or Ame, the sultry r'n'b of "Up & Down" featuring London songstress Chiara Noriko or the slinky moodlighting of "Bumper" featuring frequent collaborator Nomi Ruiz of Hercules & Love Affair fame. Keinemusik came to life in 2009, naming an existing friendship linked by the interests of six members - five DJs and one graphic designer/painter. Five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew.
