paragram is now on to its fourth installment, and gladly welcomes a new member to its family, michael melchner. after several releases on respected labels such as love letters from oslo, moon harbour, cargo edition and eklo, the talented berlin producer now announces his 12inch debut on paragram. the ep, composed by three tracks, each one complementing the others, is a combination of futuristic beats, deep hypnotic basslines and slick glitchy percussions moving in and out of the arrangement.

after this sublime achievement of voigtmann on our last ep, this time our dear friend michael melchner is introducing his vision on our viennese imprint.

welcome on the other side! llfo is back on track with the next strike and the very first release for 2012. this time with michael melchner and jorge savoretti. michael melchner comes along with a genuine declaration of love to deep house music. sumu mainly build of trippy ambient sounds and sizzling hats, combined with a chunky but smooth kick, generates a warm and cozy feeling, which you will love for sure. jorges contribution sul meno has a different approach. it begins already on the dancefloor and you can hear the goal right from the start. this is modern electronic dance music

>white winter lust< is the third release by ekkohaus, a greek artist living in berlin, on cargo edition. throughout the last two years ekkohauss music has constantly developed towards a deep house sound which has always been an element in his tracks. you feel he was brought up on this music and it’s his life.

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

concealed sounds return with a new 12 for 2014. this time around we have invited our friends from mysteries sylphe label to remix the title track by martinez, and they delivered a monster! on the a side we find >consolidation (sylphe lydlos dub)<, were we are taken a true journey thru sound and rhythms for about 13 minutes. the remix kicks off in a kind of tracky way, with a strong focus on the irresistible groove laid down by holdie gawn & micawber. after the first small breaks and manipulations to the groove, we are introduced to some very trippy modular sound design. these sounds takes the lead of the remix and forms into small melodies in a very organic way. while you can still sense the ingredient from the original track, sylphe takes a slightly different directions and offers a good opposite to the original with their own special twist. the original version of >consolidations< is presented on the b side of this 12. its a dirty groove ridden track that goes on for well over 10 minutes, developing from a broken groove into a more danceable techno pieces, with its shattering metallic sounds, bubbly baselines, deep layers of sub rhythms and lush pad chords to give it some more atmosphere. two very different version of modern instalment in techno music. we hope you enjoy it as much as we do… and as always there is a special hidden track on this 12.

for more than 5 years cargo edition has been standing for the deeper house productions of moon harbour/cargo edition’s roster of artists. so far acts like ekkohaus, michael melchner and markus schatz have been setting the tone. now this platform is offered to artists who haven’t yet appeared on the label. the warehouse release is the first of a series of various artists eps. we invited artists like steven cock from dresden, ralph sliwinski as well as the italian acts mass prod & marco daquino and minimono to contribute tracks to warehouse vol.1. the sound of the first ep is all about consistent house music that does not need any cheap rave tricks. old school house music is quoted with skills and style and translated to the modern dance floor. warehouse vol.1 is the perfect start into the fifth year of cargo edition. luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

bloop recordings are fast becoming a favourite on the european house scene, finding favour with djs across themusical divides and establishing themselves with a reputation for quality releases and outstanding remixpackages. the labels latest endeavour sees them skip a catalogue number (apparently the number 14 is unlucky ineast tradition according to half chinese label owner jose belo) and land firmly at bloop15 with the help of two of germans hottest production talents. alex niggemann has had an incredible year, recording for the likes ofsupernature, 8bit, meerestief and micro.fon and propelling himself into the upper echelons of berlins electronic music community with his solid production and highly touted djsets.
