Search - Joey Beltram :: The Rising Sun

Joey Beltram is back with a new album. To say "back" is not exactly correct because he is constantly working and recording, releasing tracks on Tresor, on other labels and of course on his own label STX since his last Tresor longplayer Places in 1996. For Joey Beltram, making an album means taking the time he needs to create something he´s 100% happy with. "I´m not only pushing buttons. When I make music its an emotional thing", he says. And found in this work are his many emotions of 2004 transferred onto the CD and vinyl medium, to be carried straight to Techno and House home listeners and clubbers. All the tracks - whether they are more technoid or more housey - bring sexiness into electronic music that has definitely been missing for the last few years. This gave him the motivation to record a new album in the first place - and with success. The Rising Sun exudes incomparable freshness: hi-hats that take your body through techno storms and lash back with solid precision. The New York legend has once again created a milestone in the electronic music spectrum, for the modern techno dancefloor. Only one difference to the Places album: previously Beltram recorded tracks mainly with DJ tracks-for-vinyl in mind. New ideas, new emotions, and he has since then wrapped his experience into this artist album, structured for both vinyl and CD formats. The CD (that has 3 bonus tracks) is designed to get CD collectors tuning in at home, the rhythm loud between your ears so as to not miss any of the textured layers...
