 While many techno producers can take months to put out even the most paltry 12” single, one man who’s had no such trouble generating material in the last two years has been producer Stefan Tretau. The German resident consistently released records on renowned labels such as Fortek and Sounderground. But with 2008’s much loved tune “Benin”, Tretau had the right momentum to hit his stride in 2009. Deep tech-house and techno album Bricks Collected Volume 1 capitalized on the enthusiasm surrounding his work and critical attention for a deft minimal touch.
Here we have Tretau's second episode in the Bricks Collected Saga. With this top notch album we bring you even more Tretau remixes, tracks and exclusives. This album is a brave leap forward in either his own technique or production in general. Ridding itself of the responsibility of being a genre-bending breakthrough for tech-house, this 13-track, 86-minute album focuses on Tretau's functional dancefloor tracks and deeper techno smashers.
This should be more than enough to tide listeners over until his next release and another new step forward.

 As Eric B. and Rakim once said, “it’s been a long time”, but now Sounderground are back with a bang. For our digital-only latest release we challenged five gifted yet very different re-mixers to have a crack at their favourite track from Mikael Stavöstrand’s classic Spaceflake EP. And boy did they take up the baton and run with it! With results ranging from the sublime to the more eccentric yet with a nod and a wink to the originals still, the Spaceflake Remixes EP is just like a great box of chocolates with something for everyone.....
Three is the magic number of re-mixes of the title track netting a hat-trick that Wayne Rooney would be proud of. That young Turk Ali Kuru tackles Spaceflake head-on with a summery, bongo-filled, brass-tinged beauty that eventually breaks down into a warm deep-house vibe. Label veteran Stefan Tretau's Spaced Out Mix takes us on a completely different trip. The German vinyl junkie’s first-rate techno re-rub hurtles along at break-neck pace with a more distorted, frenetic and quirky take on the original. Rounding-up the tasty trio is Pablo’s Mix. It’s his debut for us and the boy done good, as the pundits say, with a solid performance that starts on a chilled, almost-ambient note before settling into a devilishly-infectious and hypnotic groove [...]
Support from; Mathias Schaffhauser, Brendon Moeller, Sian, Florian Meindl, Xpansul, Sebastian Roya, Dubnitzky, Patrick Zigon, Noir, Wollion and more!....

 On his debut long-player Bricks Collected Volume 1, long time 12" fiend Stefan Tretau settles himself long enough for electronic fans to get a good look. In fact Stefan has long favoured singles, issuing slabs for Fortek & Sounderground among others, that feature some combination of minimal and house. Bricks Collected Vol. 1 is an amazing collage of deep techno music and flouts the conventions of his 12"s, offering some of his best remixes and some of his original works. This first episode of Bricks Collected takes mammoth amounts of dedication and its rewards come mostly in the form of dark, room-shading atmospheres, no matter the tempo.
Stefan Tretau has always seemed a little bit playful -- check his profile www.myspace.com/tretau or listen to the cheeky synth-work on his "Nskrd" track-- but Bricks Collected Vol. 1, apart from its weirdly mesmerizing cover art, plays things fairly close to the vest. The first part of this compilation is the kind of tech-house Stefan Tretau fans have been waiting for, and it seeks weedy, murky terrain. It leans heavily towards modern minimal, unleashing deep bass concussions that leaving chalky, muted imprints. Tretau ups a notch with every track and the second part of the compilation features some of his most energetic tracks to date.
Bricks Collected Vol. 1 is a distended exploration of known and unknown sounds and moods. This album is sure to drive some tech-heads bonkers. Enjoy the whoosh when Stefan Tretau releases the pressure and hope he's got more big surprises up his sleeves.

 It often seems like the tracks that stay fresh the longest are the ones with the least embellishment. Stefan Tretau’s spring release on Fortek is one such record. On Bricks Two: Lily, Tretau squeezes a lot of personality out of understated house motifs, assembling a classy and effective handful of tracks in the process.
The opening track, Stefan’s own version of Lily, is a funky, uncluttered house tune that makes great use of a dry tonal palette and melodic features. EqF Kid is another big one of Tretau’s well-crafted techno stormers that will easily fit any set played by the likes of Hawtin, Villalobos, Luciano, etc.. This track relies on little more than a fat bassline, a heavy snare, and lightly dispensed sounds to stir up a nice bouncing momentum.
The remixes of Lily that are included in this package mark a distinct change in style, ushering great in the ambience and depths of the original. Adrian Martin’s remix features tight and concise drums, liberal use of effects and drifting sounds make this track really ornate. Fortek family member Stefan Mallmann really shines on his take on Lily. Mallmann does draw up some nice minimal sleaziness for sure. All in all Bricks Two: Lily is about as unassuming as house gets, and its delicate attention to rhythm guarantees it a long tenure in the collective DJ crate.

 The original oozes with melodic elegance - the chords are well affected and done justice by the cleverly-worked delays and synth samplereversing. I consider this good warm-up material for the early period of a big club night. The way the crisp, clean hi-hats kick in at 3:10 gives the production a real sheen of professionalism and a genuine sense of progression in the track. The 2 remixes do not detach us from the key theme of the original, in that they both maintain hypnoic grooves that set a metronomic, engaging undertone to a meanedering whirlwind of luscious synths and pads, which flutter by and fracture into effevescent delay lines. For me, the best of the four offerings is the epic "Dub Mix", which skates gracefully over the tracks already laid down by the other 3 outings. The synth is stipped back with a distictly Basic Channel influence, especially with the dubby delays and fractured scattering of sounds that keep a low profile in the mix at the early stages (first 4 minutes). The percussion is more delecately layered and more suble here, which help this one achieve a more backroom feel.
Laurent Garnier this is a realy lovely deepness. will play the M-Lito remix as well as the Dub mix. Great stuff. ore... Dubfire Hi there and thanks for the music.Gabriel Ananda (karmarouge treibstoff platzhirsch..... // artheater cologne) Beautiful athmosphere and and melodies! thanks!! der dubmix ist balsam für meine seele :-)Tim Green (Dirtybird / Trapez // Fabric) really nice release.
