Axpin debuts with its EP „Gilgamesh“, including three deep house tracks and a first floor remix of mastermind Christian Burkhardt (Cocoon, Oslo, CBSessions). It smoothly combines multifarious arrangements and arousing melodies with a forward pushing club sound. Suitable for the dance floor as well as the afterparty at home, this EP transports the listener to a faraway world of subtle grooves, pushing drums and mesmerizing sound design.
„Gilgamesh“ is a track based on the story about the journey of an ancient emperor, searching for enlightenment in the highlands of Mesopotamia. So it comes as no surprise that a driving beat breaks through the laid back percussions and hypnotizing atmospheres. Wandering through this track side by side with mysterious pads and exotic sounds, a lost but defying melody accompanies the listener on his steps.
„Catiba“ is a track with a multilayered arrangement, that doesn’t necessarily reveal its complexity on the first look. Different rhythmic moods provide the structure for two melodic lines, competing at first but working perfectly together after a thrilling break, melting your soul. They’re supported by a pervading deep bass groove that will make your body vibrate.
Christian Burkhardt summarizes both tracks’ features and unifies them in an impulsive club remix that floats every second and climaxes in a thrilling break. Dry but playful, perfectly fitting for the dance floor without losing the warmth and lightness of the original.
„Kryon“ is the EP’s third and most expressive track. Starting with lost parts of a melody, rather an echo in the vast distance, the track continuously  increases its tension, extending the rhythms until the arrangement blasts out a stunning break that, contrary to all expectations, is a calm and compassionate moment with a transient theme. The clear production provides a place in the mix to each sound, a deep moog bass rumbles in the basement while the stimulating percussion coats the volatile beat.

Axpin
Being friends in real life and both addicted to electronic music, a collaboration in producing was the next logical step to take. Ahmed Tohmé, DJ and producer originating from Mannheim and Tomio Tremmel, producer and label owner of 4MPO,put their heads and skills together and not only created Axpin but also founded their own label – Miava Records – in 2016. Since both share the opinion that Tek-House music has nowadays become a peculiarly repetitive, not to say disposable good, they decided to put effort into finding back to a sound based, atmospheric and melodious music style. Ahmed’s relentless hunt for deep and pushing techno beats and Tomio’s expertise in production techniques and skills in scoring seem to be the perfect match for a fruitful cooperation.
With their debut release on Miava Records, Axpin shows to the world that they don’t have the need of hiding behind other big names in the scene. „Gilgamesh“ hits the dance floor worldwide and pushes the two young producers to transcend themselves. Stay tuned for forthcoming releases!

Ahmed Tohmé
War may not be a typical introduction to a musicians biography, but in this case it’s a meaningful circumstance that led four brothers, deprived of their childhood, to leave friends, family and their beloved homeland Lebanon to come to Germany. Ahmed, the youngest offspring of an ingenuous arabic family, found his way to electronic music growing up in a prospering and peaceful surrounding. The latter soon became an important part of his life. Every week he hurried to the local records store to listen to the newest releases and witness the evolution of techno music. So it was the next logical step when he and his brother Abed decided to start as a DJ-Team in 2008 – also since then known as Gebrüder Tohmé – rocking nearly every club in the Rhein-Main-Area.
But DJing not being enough for him, Ahmed started producing. His influences happened to be major artists of the time, as Maetrik or Adam Beyer, just to mention a few. It didn’t take long for other producers to take note of his creativity, shown through his debut releases on Autark Records and stunning remixes for other artists. Being courted by Tech-House and Minimal he still aimed for a higher target: merging techno beats with powerful melodic soundscapes, for which he soon got the opportunity to collaborate with a certain kind of musician. So he took the chance and locked himself up in the 4MPO-Studios with his friend and coproducer Tomio Tremmel, not only enhancing technical skills but also and principally the use of sounds and melodies as an expression of his thoughts and feelings.
After months of composing, beat-programming and mixing he is now proud to present his first episode of his musical journey over his newly founded label Miava Records, appealing to the audience with atmospheric soundscapes, tripping effects and hypnotising beats.

Tomio Tremmel / The Sushi Club
In 1998, Tomio Tremmel released his first album “Sushidelic” under the name of The Sushi Club over the record label Electrolux, located in Frankfurt. His second record “Neo Sashimi” came out in 2001, bearing significantly stronger electronic influences. The more melodic work “Sakura”, partly produced in collaboration with Japanese producer Toby Izui and singer Kaori Kaneko, completed the Sushi Club trilogy in 2003.
Besides musically and visually contributing to German TV shows such as Spacenight and Flowmotion, consisting solely of ambient and lounge music, he also produced the TV show Man vs. Machine in collaboration with artist Naoki Kenji. The aforementioned show was the first on German TV to deal with more club-oriented, up-tempo music and video art.
Inspired by a trip to Japan, Tomio Tremmel used video material from his journey to create a DVD with an impressive Dolby Surround mix. For several years, the music video featured in the TV show Flowmotion.
At the beginning of 2010, Tomio Tremmel decided to shift his focus back to his personal most important project The Sushi Club. Deep House influences mix with electro- and trance beats, spacenight sounds with acoustic instruments, and sample-bites from Japanese movies with digital effects – all morphing into a fascinating tapestry of sound. The end result is a diversified experience of creativity that rejects any type of conventional label. With “Lunarium”, Tomio Tremmel has again demonstrated his gift for compositional complexity while staying true to his particular aspiration for the sheer quality of the music.
In the current year 2016,Tomio Tremmel is proud to present his new label Miava Records in cooperation with his friend and co-producer Ahmed Tohmé. Unconventional but atmospheric techno music is what Miava claims to represent, combining deep rough beats with adrift melodies based on an cosmic sound design. Besides building up a new roster of talented and profound musicians Tomio aims to reach a new level of production and grant long-term quality releases. Moreover, being a part of the music collaboration Axpin, his dream of ascending to being part of the top producers of the scene seems to come true.
