Last week Ole Biege and Ron Flatter dropped ‘Desmond Salamanca’, their latest release for Pour La Vie Records. I pretty much knew I was going to choose a track from this EP as soon as I saw that Ole Biege had released some new material. But picking between the two tracks was a bit more challenging. Ultimately I landed on ‘Desmond’. It is a very cool, powerful track that brings several interesting elements together to form a stunning piece. Make sure to check out ‘Salamanca’, the B-side, as well![soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/227461698" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]Since German-based DJ/producer Ole Biege teamed up with Super Flu for the track ‘Ueber’ on their 2011 release ‘Euterpah EP’, Biege has shown time and again that he is an immensely talented artist. His 2013 remix of Monkey Safari’s ‘Hi-Life’, on which he recorded the vocal track himself, is an absolute banger. That in and of itself isn’t necessarily something to write home about. Lots of artists record their own vocal samples and modulate them to fit the sound. But the Monaberry artist’s catalog of grooves is deep, featuring releases on labels such as Sunset Handjob, Hommage, and KNM, many of which feature his own original vocal scores. More recently he recorded wrote and recorded ‘Leni’ in late 2015 for his dog. Make sure to check out his contribution to the Monaberry Podberry podcast series, it is one of my all-time favorite mixtapes.Ron Flatter is another immensely talented artist. With releases out on Pour La Vie, Einmusika, and Still vor Talent, one can rest assured that Flatter has put the work in to earn that talent. Also based out of Germany, Flatter has been working with Ole Biege consistently over the last couple of years having contributed a remix to ‘Leni EP’ while Biege contributed a remix to Flatter’s own ‘Hidden Hands’ back in 2014.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/264887787" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /][soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/240373099" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /][soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/264767177" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
