[Clone Jack For Daze Series] Geeeman is one of Gerd's newer aliases, debuting at the end of 2010 with the Rubberband2 EP, which defined the project as a tribute of sorts to mid-90s Chicagoan ghetto house. Its follow-up, Bang't / Fire Extinguisher , is more of the same, combining a studied reverence for that era (doesn't "Fire Extinguisher" sound exactly like a Dance Mania track title?) with a subtle emphasis on [...]

Amplified Orchestra ( Gerd ) has an output that is just unbelievable in terms of quality (and vibe). This track is by no means new, but if you're looking to lift it up a notch, not all the way, just a notch, then this is the track you need. Infectious funk with that level of drive I always seem to be searching for, that and my utopian dream body - ripped as fuck. It's for sale, so buy it! Ali Renault dropped a couple of their tracks in his last FMB Mix, check it [...]
Dj Charts: Elef's January 2012 Top 10 tracks, genre: Deep House.
Genre: House, Deep House. Gerd - Palm Leaves Remixes released on Royal Oak, with the remixes from: Deetron and Mr Fingers.

As the Xmas express continues unabated, the free tunes just keep coming and coming. This time I'm going for a nice slice of deep house from Gerd . The Clone and Royal Oak stalwart gets busy on the 1992 David Anthony track "Free Your Mind". It's been beefed up on the beats and ready for the turntables. While you are at it, check out this tasty house mix tat GERD laid out in Leeds last month.
Next up, the mighty jackin' house producer Dj Kool Dek!

15. Mark Ernestus, "Mark Ernestus Meets BBC" [ Honest Jon's Records ] ( buy ) While Honest Jon's Shangaan Electro remix series brought a heavyweight line-up on board to remix a selection of raw South African Shangaan tracks. Anthony Shakir, Theo Parrish, Ricardo Villalobos, and Peverelist all contributed, but the pick of the bunch was the offering from ever-elusive Hard Wax boss/Basic Channel legend Mark Ernestus. Sounding totally compelling yet maddeningly effortless has always been his stock in trade, and this 123 saw him lock down a damn near perfect groove while respectfully retaining a number of [...]
GERD @ THROWING SHAPES SHOW, LEEDS 02-11-2011 by gerd deepgoa.blogspot.com underground music guide _________ © dg , 2011

LWE's 67th podcast was a toasty 70 minutes of lush house music mixed by Gerd. Be sure to add it to your collection before it's archived this Friday, November 11th.
I had the joy of hearing this record a few times over the weekend, and there is no doubt it's an absolute burner. The original version from Gerd is a ripper, especially when that bass line hits for the first time. Sure enough the Alden Tyrell and Serge remix also holds it own and makes the original Royal Oak record worth the money. But then Royal Oak releases a huge remix package from Deetron and the one and only Mr Fingers. Larry Heard takes things in a very different, but beautiful direction. His age [...]

A great bumping freebie thanks to Gerd. He's done a special little edit of David Anthony's Free Your Mind. You can almost smell the old school when you play it. Grab the free download below: DOWNLOAD GIFT ::: DAVID ANTHONY - FREE YOUR MIND (GERD EDIT) by gerd

[ Royal Oak ] These days it seems like each new Gerd release is described by its label as having been recently unearthed from his old hard drives or DATs. That the Dutch producer is still turning up fresh delicacies is a testament to how busy he's kept in his two decades of production. But it also speaks to just how tremendous his talents are, as each track feels uncannily in-tune with [...]

Gert-Jan Bijl alias Gerd ist eine dieser ewigen Konstanten im House-Zirkus. Seit Mitte der Neunziger bewegt sich der Niederländer stets zwei Millimeter unter der Oberfläche und ist damit so etwas wie der klassische artist's artist . Die Platten von Gerd und seinen diversen Pseudonymen gehen irgendwie immer. Irgendwo zwischen klassisch geschultem House-Verständnis, aufgebrezeltem Slo-Mo-Disco und immer auch entlang der Achse Detroit-Rotterdam tänzelnd bewegen sich seine Releases auf so unterschiedlichen Labels, wie Philpot , Royal Oak, M>O>S oder seinem eigenen Imprint 4 Lux . Für das Internet-Magazin Globeats mixt sich Gerd [...]

Image by Saskia Olde Wolbers [ 4 Lux ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) The clichés that exist in dance music are almost as well worn as the ears and bodies that have been moving to its rhythms for over 30 years. There was a time when hearing Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech laced over a 4/4 beat seemed fresh, or when an Apache break used in a drum and bass track was the epitome [...]

Holy Strays - Enlightenment (Not Not Fun, juin 2011) J'en sais long comme le bras sur les procédés de production de notre cher Holy Strays. De sa première tape enregistrée selon des procédés « bricolés » à ses dernières sorties au son de plus en plus travaillé, l'évolution est palpable. La première face du sept pouces me fait penser à une version synthétique d'un Psychic Hills époque Mirror Eye agrémentée par une voix de chaman de RER et ces presets de claviers foncièrement nouveaux romantiques (dans le fond si, si). La face B, bien [...]

We all know Rotterdam's Gerd from his remix of Session Victim on Delusions & for that cracking track In The Morning. Well now he is back with the amazing Time & Space EP, which came out on Clone.nl side project, Clone Basement Series . Time & Space dances on the border of deep genres with heavy techno sounds, it is one of those tracks that can make you feel euphoric even if it were 11am on Tuesday afternoon. This is Duplex 's south-side mix of the track. Much the same but with tripped out vocals & some beefed up [...]

I hope the start of your week hasn't been too much of a hassle everybody, here is an hour and a bit full of monday evening listening thanks to Andrew Clarke . If you are a regular inhabitant of the now viral SoundCloud, you may have noticed this name popping up amongst the truckloads of disco edits on there. Kano - Can't Hold Back Your Loving (AC Re-Edit) by Andrew Clarke Unlike a vast majority, he provides relevant edits that thanks to his production sound [...]

Chart courtesy of The Economist 01. Gerd, "Time & Space" (Original Dusty Tape Mix) [ Clone Basement Series ] ( buy ) If anyone needed more proof of the enduring quality of Gert-Jan Bijl's productions, check the latest single from Clone Basement Series. Purportedly found on a "dusty DAT tape," likely from the '90s, "Time & Space" is a rousing house song that fits as easily into the present as it does its original context. The interplay between its stalking synth sounds, [...]
