The Slovenian master has been very busy lately, creating track after track over the last few months. Just a week after releasing “Spank!” through Spinnin’ Records, UMEK is out with a brand new release from his own 1605 label. Featuring the label’s distinctive, bizarre artwork and UMEK’s production expertise, “I Need You” makes quite an impression with its sexy vocal sample and nonstop, house beats. It’s a very different sound from “Spank!” but will certainly please fans of the deeper, tech house style. Take in the magnificent artwork and listen to the track below – the full release is up for grabs on Beatport.

UMEK’s new track “Spank!” was just released today off Beatport on the prestigious Spinnin’ Records. This track is a bit different than most of the legend’s productions, for not being released on his successful 1605 label and being much more housy than his usual huge techno tracks. Despite all of this, it’s easy to say that the track is flawless with its driving house beat, ‘spank’ vocal samples, and percussion elements. Give this one a listen and enjoy!

If you’ve had enough wobbles today, or you just love good house music in general, we have something new here to share with you all. The legendary UMEK released his new single, “Kuzla Prevarantska”, which ironically means ‘cheating bitch’ in Slovenian – UMEK’s native language. Regardless of the track title, this ‘special track’ as he mentioned to his fans is nothing but a tech house gem from the veteran. The drum sections are fully filled alongside the bassline to keep you moving through this massive track, as well as a clever vocal sample to keep things interesting. Give this a listen and grab your copy on Beatport below!

Renowned as one of the greatest techno DJ/producers to get behind the decks and as a pioneer in Slovenian dance music, Umek has helped define the realms of EDM far beyond just techno. He was a driving force in helping build the rave scene in Germany and Eastern Europe back in the early ’90s. Umek is also responsible for co-founding the highly influential techno labels Recycled Loops, Astrodisco, and 1605 – Sixteenofive. Since then, Umek has become a recognizable name all over the globe playing festivals world-wide and carrying out his residencies in Ibiza. Today Umek frequents DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart and is often a best seller on Beatport. On top of that, he recently won Best Beatport Artist in 2011 by staff pick, showing us that while he stays true to his original techno sound, Umek still remains a favorite among the newer generation. Our Ibiza representative, Shea Hausen got a chance to speak with the talented Umek. Check out the interview after the jump! [Read more...]
As part of Umek and Mike Vale’s Chosen EP, Chosen displays that tech meets house groove that wasn’t expected by most people. “Chosen”, with its light touch of bass and full plump of swing, shows off its offbeat tech chords while cheeky little snare fills keep the rhythm section ticking over. Although minimal tech and tech house have been around for years, tech house artists are beginning to include more harder and electro elements which is perhaps why we are finally seeing this genre emerge again and make its way back to the top. This sub-genre is no longer one for the weak-bladdered.

The Slovenian DJ adds on to his storied career by teaming up with Definitive’s own Olivier Giacomotto to bring you this Detroit-style tech house track that I really am beginning to love.
