Official press release: With Roland M. Dill we have signed our first home based artist from Cologne for a long time. Roland M. Dill has won a couple of DJ contests in the Rhein area and is a person who likes the challenge of physical extremes. His passion is ice climbing, where he throws the axe rhythmically in the glacier wall and has successfully climbed the Chimborazo. He likes to DJ at least with 3 record players and if that all sounds a bit worrying... well he is a guy that knows what he is doing. Roland´s release on Trapez ltd in February 2008 is his first one and a stunning debut. Quite untypical for the Cologne scene, that has lived some years from the inspiration of Wolfgang Voigt, we witness here a fresh new style. His release shows his skill to be accurate, physical and at the same time very funky. His influences range from Chicago Jack trax to Adam Beyer, which he reveals with his tracks the "8th Day" and "9th Day". Both tracks work with complex seemingly simple groove patterns and are special in that respect that they bridge the borderline between Chicago and European minimal techno. Being a youngster and newcomer we see a great potential in his fresh and dynamic way of writing techno music and have asked him to produce a mix for Alex Under´s Remix EP which will be released digitally on top of the vinyl release in January 2008. In addition to the vinyl 12" "Days" on Trapez ltd Roland will be releasing the digital bonus track "Modus Operandy" which was also included on the Trapez mix CD "Triple R - Selection 6". Comments[0]
