The year starts off with a new release straight from the 31337 management! Label head Stefan Klaas aka 0x7f presents his EP 'As The World Burns We Watch TV', a classy selection of tracks filled with ambience and mixed with a bit of tech-house and dub. 0x7f doesn't follow any standards or trends and has a distinct feel for deep melodic tunes with lots of clicks and field recordings wrapped into complex minimalistic sound structures. While the title shows a critical view on parts of todays society, the EP doesn't reflect negative thoughts and simply invites the listener to let the mind wander and thoughts flow. Along the 3 original tracks there are 3 fabulous remixes by Akiko Kiyama, Ditch and Sil from the Easy Changes duo. Akiko delivers a wonderfully unique remix of 'Surface' that brings in some fresh elements and turns the track around into a new and interestingly mysterious direction. A well structured flow with lots of true minimalism, carefully chosen patterns and straight to the point. Ditch presents a very creative, dark interpretation of 'Virtualized', filled with samples that leave some kind of industrial impression. A pounding beat that slowly comes out of the shadows, surrounded by a field of percussions and well selected cuts. Sil pushed the boundaries and made a remix aimed at the dancefloor. Well arranged and cut up percussions emerging between twisted samples and melodic bits and pieces that turn the original track upside down and inside out. Of course with the typical Easy Changes style.

Pachyderme (31337 Records , Doma Musique, Bluecode | Cordoba)
Solid and intelligent release, love the whole tracklist, good work Stefan! And congratulations to the 31337 crew for keeping bringing us high quality avantgarde sound!

Marc Oxide Lacasse (Shift radio 101.5 umfm/Jackhouse)
1. A slow and momentous audio excursion of raw deep emotions
2. The deep minimal tech-ouse moody groove is great, nice and slick for the house/lounge crowd to
3. Def a good track to build an evening with, the bouncy vibe will hit the souls
4. There is so much movement here you loose the sense of the original melody here
5. Although I do enjoy atmospheres I feel the link from the original has been lost in the subtle breezes here
6. The rough saunter glides well and suits this track well

Dr.Nojoke (Unoiki, Archipel | Berlin)
Another huge release! Just love it. Can’t even decide, which track is the best. They are all great :)

Yet another solid release by 31337. My favorite would be the original ‘Virtualized’. Furthermore, I have to say that Sil’s remix is good and the artwork is really cool as well.

Really deep strong stuff.
