T-Bird’s Minimal finest:

A day delayed, here is this weeks minimal finest(but it was a bank holiday). So hope you all had a good weekend.

This weeks’ sound bite is one of my personal favorites. Shlomi Aber, one of Israel's most noted DJ's and producers in the field of minimal techno, Shlomi Aber's star has been constantly on the rise since releasing his 2006 breakthrough hit - the catchy and melodic 'Sea Of Sand', produced together with Guy Gerber (another well noted Israeli artist) and released on Cocoon Records. Aber has cemented his success with releases for Ovum, and London's progressive house imprint Renaissance. The best thing about Aber, is that he is one of the most versatile Dj’s around. Not limiting him to a genre, he once said; that he founded his Label BeAsOne because he couldn’t find enough music that he was really into. His trademark, are stripped back deep techno beats, which he translates into house, and dubstep beats.
No surprise this man is one of the most touted up and coming talents that emerged in today’s scene. His production skills are as good as his dj skills and experiencing him live is absolutely exhilarating. He has gained the respect from names such as Sven Vath, Pete Tong, Danny Tenaglia, and Tiefschwarz.

I found this extract on a website a while ago after seeing him live I have to say it is the best description of his music there is:
“His musical inspirations cannot be defined by one genre, as they draw upon jazz and funk, house and minimal, in addition to acid and techno, all of which contribute to the unique sound and style that Shlomi has slowly been grooming over the last few years. Shlomi’s sets are full with warm and unique sounds that makes you feel like you are going back to the better days of music, it was something I cant define just by one word, If I must I will call it something between house and techno”

Enjoy with volume!
