“After his very well acclaimed debut on Orphanear with “Jujuy&Salta” and his impelling and chartbreaking remix for Tocotronic´s latest 12″ “Imitationen", Pawel is back with the new 12″ “Gabriel” on Orphanear. Both tracks have it in oneself to provide the autumn soundtrack for deep and dark house loving clubs all over the globe. The A-Side with “Gabriel” mixes classic house-strings with some xylophone and bell-sounds rather known from hamburg´s scene around dial and smallville records. These elements built up in beautiful layers to culminate in a furious rather ironic break. The B-Side with “Early Bird” begins with an airy beat that brings Pawel´s 2004 Vocalhouse Lover “Grab It” back to mind. After the softer intro the track mutates into a synthspiral which home has already been defined by Pawel´s 12″ “Ceramic". Some abandoned industrial city in the north of the united states. A timeless record.”

giles smith: “A side is a quite charming litle track with some sweet melodies and strings...”

De:Bug (GER): “Mit einem ganzen Xylophon (oder was immer ich auch dafür halten mag) Orchester bekommt man mich immer. Klar. Und dann noch diese schnippischen, kurzen Geigen (Synthesizer du Depp) und das sanfte Tänzeln über den Teppich des schliddernd runden Grooves. Ach. Definitiv einer der schüchternsten, aber effektivsten Peaktime- Weltfrieden-alles-Gelb-Tracks des Jahres. Dafür sollte man glatt Rave neu erfinden und auf reiner Schönheit wieder aus den Ruinen aufbauen. Und die Rückseite. Ach. Da schlägt das Herz eines jeden Liebhabers klingelnder Meloiden mit leichtem Kirchgang höher. Wirklich. Festlich. Grandios. Unerreicht süsslich und doch so wahr. Eine Platte, zu der deine Katzen zu Hause so laut schnurren, dass die Nachbarn sich beschweren. bleed •••••”

Josh Wink (Ovum): “like the early bird track the best of the two. Nice minimal deepness. how minimal production should be! Thanks”

Mr C (The End UK): “A: Excellent track. Great musical content & a very nice vibe, just how house should be. On rotation. B: Very nice indeed. Reminds me of Isolé with the beautiful melodies. On rotation. What a great EP. Put a real smile on my face.”
