Release reviews

Cio D'Or - "Die Faser / Part 1" (incl. Donato Dozzy Rmxs)

Various Press & DJ Reviews

Kevin Gorman/Mikrowave: super super release on prologue. love both yours and donatos version... congrats!!

Obtane Synewave/Prologue: If you thought Munich was the capital of electro you was probably wrong. Prologue is rising up with a mindblowing sound who people calls "headfuck techno". Label is totally forwarded to the future and this release is again the confirmation. Zellulose, a superb and sinister intro with cinematic feelings, is starting the ep in a perfect way. Goldbrokat is a masterpiece of melancholic and hypnotic techno with refreshing atmospheres without business deals, just for the pleasure to make true underground techno. Donato Dozzy turns it in two versions. a drone remix that reminds to his own imprint on Aquaplano and an analogic techno monster that will damages dancefloors seriously.

Mnmlmssgs: quality release from a distinctive voice. the beautiful originals are artfully reworked by dozzy. highly recommended.

Stephan Bodzin: full support for one of the most atmospheric releases i heard lately!

Laurent Garnier: beautifull atmosphere Will play A2 (original) everywhere

Giorgio Gigli (Prologue/Zooloft): Goldbrokat original mix is a GREAT track!! is the best track of the album i love this sound!

Josh Wink (Ovum Recordings): deep and sexy techno. Like A2(Original) best. Donato's techno rmx is good too, a tad bit progressive sounding for me but killer hypnotic groove...

Silent Servant (Sandwell District): good release... will chart for sure at some point...

Peter Van Hoesen: my favs are the original of Goldbrokat and Dozzy's techno remix. Swell!

Samuli Kemppi (Prologue): Superb cut from the LP. Will play on radio and gigs, both original version and Donato's techno remix.

Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts): that's what I call new techno... Full support! Actually it's very hard to choose my fave, and that's cool!

Markus Kavka (MTV Europe): gewohnte top-qualität! "goldbrokat" ist ein großartiger track - sagenhaft, wie der sich nach hinten raus öffnet, man möchte die ganze welt umarmen.

Richie Hawtin (Minus): download for R Hawtin

Tony Rohr (Clink, Weave): This is a FAN-fucking-TASTIC record.

Expander (Sonic Culture): Great release! Love all tracks..!

Mark S. Krüx (Urb Magazine): Really love anything Cio D'or does... Ambient remix could be useful.

Chris Burkhalter (Resident Advisor): Shifting from atmospheric percussion treatments to gently dramatic keys, the softspoken "Goldbrokat" blooms into something quite stirring. This ought to sound terrific on a big sound system but, to me, the track's slowly unfolding, almost narrative quality is headphones bliss. And Dozzy's pair of remixes are an absolute treat. Great package!

Lee Curtis: Goldbrokat is like re-entering the womb...

Brett Johnson (Cynosure, Frankie): While this release has some very nice atmospherics none of the dance mixes are things that i would play. I like however the intro/ambient bits. thanks.

Marc Miroir (Paso Music): I like "Goldbrokat" the original and the techno remix of Donato. very good stuff :)

Brendon Moeller (Third Ear / Echocord): donato's remixes are great! original pretty hot too. nice package!

Alland Byallo (Nightlight Music): Finally some minimalist techno comes out that can actually be called "minimal." Although I can't really fit Goldbrokat original mix into my dj sets, I love it immensely. That said, I will definitely be playing Donato's Techno remix. Will run it this weekend, for sure.

Kevin Gorman: a brilliant release.. goldbrokat is epic and dark, the donato remix complements it very nicely.. takes me back to the early harthouse releases circa early 90s! many thanks

DJ Montana (Club Basement.net ) (Sputnik): goldbrokat = good intensity and still calm music, 9/13, donato dozzy techno mix is also cool, thx morten
