TIC TAC TOE RECORDS
- the Danish label for high end minimal house and techno – is back with it’s 8th release and again it’s our homeboys ‘Hansen & DJ Daniel’.
Their last release on Tic Tac Toe, was an enormous hit, which sold out very fast and we had to do a quick re-press in order to keep up to all the orders that came in. Also the boys received very good reviews and fantastic feedback from some of the worlds best DJ’s and just lately, the ‘DJ Spell Acid Mix’ of ‘Wreck’ was licensed to a new mix CD that will be mixed by Ivan Smagghe of Black Strobe and included together with a new interactive city guide from Time Out. It will be released in late September 2005.
On this release they present to us:
Techniques Of Hospitality The title track of the record is a typical Hansen & DJ Daniel, just as you know them from, especially, their Trapez Ltd. releases. It is dry, dry and dry, but just with that little twist that makes this track so much better than their earlier stuff. Again they have mixed it up with some trancey stuff coming in late in the track, doing a perfect blend of the hard and the soft mixed together. Sounds weird? Well, try it out yourself, this track works perfectly on the dance floor.
Absteiger Hard punchy kick drum and a fantastic bassline make this track a peak hour floor packer, this track is surely this records most energetic track and we’re sure it will be well received by those DJs that are packing it just a bit harder. It has been thoroughly dancefloor-tested by TTT label owner DJ Patrick Bateman, and is also featured in the live sets of Hansen & DJ Daniel. Let's be brutally honest: it's the business!
PWY (Instrumental) TTT headquarters favourite track on this release. An amazing and emotional piece. In our opinion the best track they have ever done. Trippy (almost trancey) sounds, dry kick drum (as you could expect), great bassline, and a melody to die for. This track will rip you apart at those crazy after-hours, where God himself intended this track to be played. Amen.

I really like the PWY (Instrumental) from Hansen & DJ Daniel.
Beam Me Up Magazine - Review by Mathias Schaffhaeuser
Sauberer Clubstoff, von knarzig bis harzig, hh, trippig wollte ich sagen, vor allem PWY (instrumental) triggert mit seinen Echo-Sounds meine kleine Trance-Schwche an. Kommt bestimmt ganz gut, wenn man einen geharzt hat, jawohl! Absteiger rockt dagegen ziemlich kompromisslos und knnte auch von Jeremy P. Caulfield sein, und das Titelstck bewegt sich genau zwischen den Koordinaten der beiden anderen Tracks.

Playing the B2 track. Super dry, but works nicely. I dropped it at the last couple parties!
Keep it up.

It's more progressive, melodic , and atmospheric. Not exactly my style, but it's cool for a dj set.
Mike Shannon / Cynosure - Valencia
I'll be playing the sh!t out of that, this weekend at the Street Parade in Zurich.
