It's safe to say that Tim Engelhardt is proving to be an exceptional talent with multiple productions across the board and a fabulous album release on Poker Flat in May this year. Tim's tracks have become radio and event regulars for many of our sets over this last 12 months and we have been following this young man extensively. 'Your Words Keep Me Safe' has in particular been a wee anthem at our Berlin Beach Kollektiv Parties on the Brighton seafront.
When Tim's full length EP landed in May this year, it took a lot of people by surprise. It was clear that a very exciting new talent had arrived - one that at the tender age of 19 had found a voice and sound far beyond his years.
"The stunning LP combines his extensive classical training with an eclectic dance edge, utilizing complex melodies with subtle harmonies. It's his elegant, unique touch that makes his music so utterly mesmerizing and sets him far above the competition." (Magnetic Magazine).
Following on from his main release, this current EP gets the full remix treatment. 'Kissing Your Eyes' is reworked by André Hommen - the German househead who flips the original into a deep and loopy house bomb - the percussion is tight and fully wound up - sure to unravel a few dancefloors in the near future.
The British DJ and producer Tim Green sets to work on 'Eyes Closed' - infusing the original with his own character - a thick, pulsing bass drum, long, dramatic strings and the superb vocal from one of the album's crowning glories.
Fideles’ remix of 'Beyond Time' is typically sublime - the Italian duo Daniele Aprile & Mario Roberti take the track for a spacey, trippy ride with smooth arps and a killer groove reminiscent of Âme at their most progressive.
Later this month we can also expect another release by Marco Resmann. Marcus, a native Berliner, (also one half of Luna City Express) returns to Poker Flat Recordings with the 'Flux EP'.
