Benja – Paradose //
HIVE AUDIO is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous Hive Club, located in the the industrial quarter of Zurich.
The imprint was founded by Samuel Gmür and Adrian Wöllhaf, better known as Animal Trainer, with some great releases on Oliver Koletzki’s Stil vor Talent, amongst others.
Zurich is not only party capital of beautiful Switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and DJ’s, who will now get a new international platform. Releases will be held mainly by residents of the Hive Club itself – Benja will be given the honour to start off with his track Paradose.
Paradose impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. Benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real floor filler without any razzmatazz needed.
On the flip we have a remix by Christian Burkhardt who needs no further introduction. He turns the number into a real Techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then won’t let loose again. Hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree.
Christian Burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. This is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a Hive Club resident on our Hive Audio 001. [Hive Audio – HA001]
