Ostbahnhof EP

by JanVe:

A first step takes courage, further steps take confidence. Club operator, promoter, and DJ Jan W. takes the chance of a further step and releases his first EP named „Ostbahnhof“ (German for eastern rail station). With techno-based sound, an allegoric concept, and three coherent tracks the German music lover produced his own musical metaphor of a journey.

The first track „Fernweh“ (German for wanderlust) introduces the whole record with a driving bass line combined with deep minimal beats and generates a smooth climax through atmosperic sounds. „Gleis3“ (track/rail 3) as the second and middle track reveals the core of the whole record: pure Techno with hard beats. „Ostbahnhof“ then again is more a tech-house track and sounds brighter than the previous titles, to conclude the EP like a farewell with a smile before a journey.

With accuracy and clarity at the structure of the tracks, wave-like development of every songs climax, and effectively used echoes this disc evokes connotations of staring into the distance with a yearning mood. With „Ostbahnhof“ Jan W. selects the melodic and melancholic but still driving sounds from typical dynamic techno and hence creates an energy that moves both the head and the legs.
