1. Original
2. Dub

(Amalgam Audio/AA06)

Release: Out Now Distribution: Critical Rhythm

Leading the charge on this release is Freshin records head man - Da Fresh , with a tasty tech house double whammy. ‘The Frog’ takes shape with an ultra neat tech house groove to get feet shuffling, gradually twisting and turning with an incessant repetition building the groove and working its way to the brain.

There’s a dub mix for seconds that spawns a deeper mood, pushing further into the underground just that little bit further.

This is part 1 of this release with the second, The Frog – remixes coming later in 2009.

DJ support from John Acquaviva, Tiesto, Gil (The Youngsters), Kamishake(Azuli), Boshell & Cody, Nino Anthony (Defected/Portamento), Flash Bros., Zoo Brazil, Dave Lambert, Rowan Blades, Silinder & Nick Hook...

Silinder - Route to all Evil
1. Original
2. Jeff Bennett mix

(Amalgam Audio/AA05)

Release: Feb 28th 2009 Distribution: Critical Rhythm

Amalgam’s newest release comes from Gavin Mulhall aka Silinder. With a string of releases on labels such as Renaissance, Kindred sounds, Spinifex and Composure records this Irish based producer has set the bar with some ultra sleek tracks.

Route to all Evil is as sublime as it is deep, with a smooth progressive groove setting the pace while a host of unfolding melody hooks grab you along for the ride. On the remix is Tech-house guru Jeff Bennett who needs no lengthy introductions. His take on the original puts the sting in the tail with a rumbling, bubbling concoction.

Darwin & Backwall - Bananas Faster (Ben Shaw mix) 
1. Ben Shaw Remix

(Amalgam Audio/AA04)

Release: Jan 28th 2009 Distribution: Critical Rhythm

Next up from AA is a bit of a slippery one we’ve been keeping under lock and key. Ben Shaw aka Sunscape takes a look at ‘Banana’s Faster’ and turns out one hell of a genre- track.

Ben Shaw is an artist who heavily influenced us here at Amalgam in the late nineties, his tracks and remixes for labels such as Fluid, Strictly Rhythm and Fire set the benchmark for others and through his own label Kubist recordings, spread the net further with a bunch of quality underground releases that to this day still sound fresh. ....

M’Ocean - Gravity 
1. Original
2. Feralcode mix
3. Boshell & Cody - Snorkeling down mix  

(Amalgam Audio/AA03)

Release: October 28th 2008 Distribution: Critical Rhythm

With Amalgam releases being picked up by dj’s around the globe we felt it’s time to unleash the next salvo in the form of ‘Gravity’ -  a deep, tech house original from New Jerseys M’Ocean complete with a low slung package of mixes from Feralcode and Boshell & Cody.

Having a foundation in rhythm in place from an early age, Michael Tomaselli is an artist with wide scope. He’s worked on material for movie soundtracks, TV commercials while also forging a name as a dj and producer ……”Music will always be my main creative joy in life. I will always make music just for the pure ecstasy it brings me and other people who enjoy my sound”… says Michael, and this is reflected in tracks and remixes he’s put out on the likes of Red Circle and Feralcode records. ’Gravity’ however pushes much deeper with an intimidating, low rolling groove to get feet shuffling.

 Remixes come courtesy of Feralcode (Feralcode records)who reshapes a peakier tech-house vibe while label heads Chris Boshell and Brian Cody (Boshell & Cody) stick close to the original but wig it out in their own inimitable style.

Fady Ferraye - Spiral Trauma

1. Original (Feat. Jakob Rullhusen on guitar).
2. Pole folder & Cp - ‘Dig into it Deep mix’
3. Silinder mix
4. Dub mix

Amalgam Audio make’s its second outing with a stunning double take from Lebanese born Fady Ferraye.

This release also features two superb remixes from Pole Folder & Cp and Dublin based Producer - Silinder.

One of a new generation of producers, Fady Ferraye’s sound is diverse and open-minded.

His music has found its way into many high profile DJs sets and he also produces under the guises of - Fading Ocean (with M'ocean from the USA), Free Jerk Inlay (with Eelke Kleijn from Holland) and Yield (with DJ Maron from Holland) along with recently launching his own label Goosebumps.

Fady Ferraye tracks gel organic rhythms and genre-bending phrases that push boundaries and this is no more evident than in ‘Spiral Trauma’, which unfolds a richly deep groove to shake any dancefloor, and also features guest Jakob Rullhusen on guitar.

Remixes come compliments of Pole Folder & CP who create a fantastically rich and emotive ‘Dig into Deep mix’ along with Silinder who turns in a funk’d-out re-take …. But that’s not it, as Fady takes another look at the original with a more subtle ‘Dub mix’ to wrap things up.
