Citric is the brainchild of label boss Noah Becker and former Holosound collaborator Alex Fish. 2009 saw a few very solid releases from label mainstays and the introduction of Deep Cycle's meticulously crafted tech house to the repertoire.
In 2010 and beyond, Citric will be distributed by the esteemed Critical Rhythm team. As well, Citric welcomes the addition of Shane Wheel aka Shane Thomas to the team. Shane has myriad slamming releases out on Tambour/Melodica and Citric is lucky to have partnered with such a bright upcoming US talent. Shane will be conducting all A and R and helping out with operations and of course, lookout for the new collaboration between Shane and Noah in May...it promises to be nothing short of mind blowing.
For CITRIC's seventh release of the year we bring you Holosound's "Jailforthings" a dubbed out and spacey tech house track that Dana Bergquist has described as as "proper groovy heads down dance deepness." Along with two solid remixes to flesh out some other incarnations of the original, we see one of the most comprehensive and widely accessible packages from CITRIC to date. Andreas Bergmann from The Netherlands transports us to the terrace of Warung just as the sun is beginning to peak out over the jungle canopy: tight beats, stabs, sweeps and effected radio transmissions all come together to create a very special feel-good groove. Rodskeez from the land of Oz confirms exactly why we believe to have (helped) uncover one of Down Under's most promising upstart producers. Delivering the most pumping mix on the package, his crisp and pulsing groove moves along nicely while slowly bringing in tastes of samples that remind us that "No one wants to go to Jailforthings......."
