i light another cigarette in the tittery the sparrow has landed. we have returned from our excursion to the modern and would like to share what we brought with you: some showtunes and a twelve tone row. the show, as it turns out to be, is our very own. we started out writing new material to perform on stage, after we had found out it was great fun to refrain our instrumentation to vocals, piano and bad acting. originally very attracted to the- as our label told us- very clandestine idea of releasing three 12inches with very limited playability for djs, we agreed not to ruin our dial friends and work on an album instead.

ein halbes jahr nach dem zauberhaften album >thrown out of drama school< von phantom ghost erscheint nun die single >four shadows< und knüpft konzeptuell an ihre langspielplatte an. nur auf klängen des von thies mynther gespielten, geschlagenen und teils präparierten klaviers und dem gesang dirk von lowtzows basiert >the shadow<, eine hommage an den schauspieler peter o toole (lawrence of arabia, caligula etc.). in gleich zwei teilen liegt das stück von phantom ghost selbst vor. dazu gesellt sich ein höchst kathedralischer remix von dial label chef carsten jost persönlich, sowie eine reduziert epische version von pantha du prince, der gerade sein neues album >black noise< auf rough trade veröffentlicht. in praise of shadows

fake blood alias dj touche (wiseguys) liefert fźr fabric ein geniales electro-house-set aus nagelneuen unveroeffentlichten upfront-exclusives und legendaeren klassikern ab, die warme erinnerungen hervorrufen. erlebe die vergangenheit, gegenwart und zukunft der house music, von acid-ueber bleep- bis electro-house, in einem wahnsinns 30-track-set.

when dial records started in 2000 with a bunch of friends highly inspired by deep house, detroit techno and cologne lovetunes, nobody of them ever thought about running a decent record label. the only concept david lieske, peter kersten and paul kominek had in their mind was never to be part of any proper record business, never to be controlled by any rule or trend, always to let the record label be a part of their love for music and arts. even the dial family was never intended growing that big, almost 70 percent of the artists on the first compilation are the same on >2010<, the history starting from a small label based in hamburg turned out climbing a high mountain. touching cities like detroit, tokyo, paris, berlin, buenos aires, releasing music like contemporary classic, drones and glitches, ambient, guitar pop, singer songwriter, deep house, minimal techno, discovering arts of protagonists such as michaela meise, sergej jensen, dirk stewen, hanna schwarz, anna mšller, cosima von bonin, all this fills a decade of dial records. but still the main part is the music and as we hold the 2010 compilation in our hands and listen to the tunes of phantom ghost, isolŽe, pantha du prince, carsten jost, john roberts, efdemin, lawrence, christian naujoks, dominique, rndm, pigon, kassian- we still have this enthusiastic feeling that wants to tell us: this is only the beginning
