The Walk and Rogerseventytwo started to work together as dj’s in the summer of 2004. Soon gigs followed in the Netherlands, including festivals slots in Prague, Paris, Copenhagen, Bratislava, Berlin, Freiburg and London. In 2007 AMSTEREO was born – their own party night that rocked Amsterdam with guests such as Teenage Bad Girl, Les Petits Pilous, Aysam, Danger, Breakbot, Djedjotronic, Hey Today!, and Scenario Rock. Their name, as dj-duo as well as individual dj’s grew rapidly in Holland and the rest of Europe. It was in 2008 when Erol Alkan himself dubbed these guys as the ones to watch in the future. And he his right.
Now known as TWR72, their latest venture is another release on INSTANT REPLAY. “Tunnel” is a painfully progressive tune that acts like hot, glowing embers, heating dance floors up to point of spontaneous combustion.

DEEPAK SHARMA + DIETER KRAUSE + AMBIVALENT
Let’s be honest here, the blog world is a tad saturated with electro and frankly, electronic music needs to get back to it’s roots.
Thankfully there are producers like DEEPAK SHARMA and DIETER KRAUSE who consistently turn out techno and tech house to keep me moving in the dim light of those long nights. Setting a new standard, New York City’s HIDDEN RECORDINGS offers a new release that demands attention and brings a sharp focus to the emerging label. What makes label owners’ Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause “The Great Lawn” noteworthy is not the amazing collection of top shelf remixers, eight to be exact, but that none were affiliated with the label. All eight producers were brought together out of a love of the original source material and a respect for Sharma and Krause’s growing body of work. The diversity of the material on the single spans every inch of the techno spectrum, from deep late night insanity to vintage Detroit analogue electronics.
They sent us the AMBIVALENT remix to share with you. The track adds some stealth and muscle to the release, but at the same time it’s also lean and sinewy. The scant but efficient melodies only serve to feed the beat of what is essentially a build-up record. What is most noticeable about this track are the missing elements that serve as a reminder of the track’s intense starkness, which is exactly what minimal is supposed to do.
