just across the main, lies offenbach, a place where many of the kids of frankfurts inspirational house and techno scene call home. two promising producers - florian and marc - who hail from this hood, have within one year caught the attention of labels such as levelnonzero, off, below and cécille.

big with: anthony collins, k.atou, sascha dive, mr. statik, lauhaus, julietta, gavin herlihy, federico molinari, dorian paic,... here comes the first release of the new collaboration between chris wood and meat on freebase records and meats own label - below records on the a side we find the main track of their first release, called chi-kago. it follows the old vibes of chicago with a funky bass and a wonderful groove which definitely will kick your ass on the dancefloor!!! b1 comes along with a remix of this track, done by our well known friends einzelkind. their interpretation cought up the deeper side of chi-ka-go while including some nice vocals from an unknown cuban dancer!!! b2 sidiki let the childrens bassline take control!!!

german producer christian burkhardt teams up with fellow countrymen chris wood & meat for a three-track release on jamie jones hottrax this may. burkhardt has been flying the flag for minimalist electronic music for a decade now, releasing on labels such as cocoon, oslo and pressure traxx. likewise, freebase records founders meat + chris wood have been purveying deep and minimal cuts individually since the ‘00s, joining forces in 2009 before releasing on labels like desolat, housewax and tiefschwarz souvenir. between the three of them theyve continually garnered support from the upper echelons of house and techno, making regular appearances in the sets of names like ricardo villalobos, sven väth, seth troxler and jamie jones. intricate percussion and a compelling bassline make up the foundation of closer 2 u as an echoing vocal and tense strings operate throughout. meanwhile, plain is a more downtempo cut in comparison with its dusky atmospherics and distorted spoken word samples that subtly permeate throughout the mix. on the flip, trumpad is deep and dubby whilst integrating trippy synths and mesmerizing effects for a rhythmic conclusion.

long term friends of geddes chris wood & meat deliver four stomping cuts for nofitstate s white series

chris wood and meat, owners of freebase records in frankfurt (germany), have joined forces in the studio again and delivered stripped down atmospheric house tracks. future classic!

housewax proudly welcomes chris wood and meat to the family!

limited marbled 10 inch !!

since 2004 chris wood has been working as a successful producer and remixer for labels including souvenir, below, kindisch, murmur, bechosen or levelnonzero and in 2009 he started working with his long-time friend, fellow producer and co-owner of freebase records in frankfurt, meat (carsten schuchmann).

souvenir presents ruede hagelsteins second single release >berlin< off last years debut album >soft pack< alongside his band the noblettes. last time round it was >a priori< with a bunch of remixes, and here >berlin< is featured in its original version.

souvenir is proud to present its 44th ep from a duo of frankfurts favourite sons, chris wood and carsten meat schuchmann. both chris and carsten have come up through frankfurts music scene, chris with his long time residency at the infamous monza club and carsten having started the citys premier record shop freebase, still going strong 18years later. trained as a studio engineer, chris cut his chops under the wise wings of pascal feos and joinedforces with meat, who held residencies at cocoon and robert johnson. last year they dropped the mighty triple s on souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as sao paolo to ibiza.

tiefschwarz beckon you to dominate my sensation with their latest single on the boys own souvenir. and with its booty-shaking, bass-bumpin funky house vibe, its ripe for the plucking on dancefloors across the world. the title track kicks things off with a dual attack of bass and hi-hat, urging us into its insistent groove. then it takes a firmer hold with its sultry vocals, shaking us around a bit in the process. with the carnivalesque atmosphere of seamy summers in rio, we welcome a funky percussive workout into the mix while a synthline squiggles around us. the breaks saucy vocal instructs us to allow entry into our very own adventure, percussion building to peak levels. lost in the moment, none can resist this kick, and bodies are lost in a dizzying swirl. b-sides include an energetic reimagining from the labels very own frankfurters, chris wood and meat, fresh from their recent smash triple s ep on souvenir and pascal feos & frank leicher manage to dial up the sleaze quotient, murking out the bassline and distorting the vocal.

zeitlos, a german word meaning timeless is one way to describe chris wood & meats new ep, triple s. this is house of a different flavor, pulling influences from freestyle jazz and funk. we find ourselves late in the night. we enter triple s, a smoky cool atmosphere, relaxed and ready. light percussion leads us into the back, where a lone wandering bass line takes the stage. the simmer of hi hats and trample of toms usher in the kicks. chugging along, a single jazz flute, and sassy women punch through the fog. the strings rise and the bass sinks into the cellar. downplayed with style and elegance, triple s is the perfect track for half past midnight, opening the gates and pouring your body on to the dancefloor.

houseworx is back with another strong release. drehwerk should be already known for their productions on inclusion ltd, punkt vor strich, baile musik, apparel music and many more.
they delivered a strong house-two-tracker with a big remix from our friends meat & chris wood.
support: 2000 and one, luciano esse, brothers vibe, daniel sanchez, pawas, robert drewek, meat, chris wood, pfirter ...

big with: matthias tanzmann, loco dice, sascha dive, federico molinari, einzelkind,.. after the big success of chris wood & meats >back down ep< on murmur records (groove charts position 2 !!), they sticked together to bring out their next ep on below records. because of the experience as djs and their work at freebase records, they know exactly what kind of music brings the dancefloor on fire. the a - side is a strong floorfiller, with a long intro section and very nice housecords rising in the middle of the track b 1 is an house track with a typical chicago oldshool feeling b 2 brings back the breakbeats on the dancefloor..

played by karotte & sven vÄth at timewarp 2010!!! chris wood & meat return from their splash on kindische for another electric package, this time on murmur with backdown ep complete with sascha dive remix. backdown is a truly head-turning release – setting up three takes on one track touching on high-end percussion, brass instrument led melodies and the voiced enquiry – do you want it? this package comes with a dub version and sascha dive remix, each accentuating their own unique take on the original. the original melts with a sumptuous hook within a low end bassline before dropping into a restless trumpet fanfare. sascha dive puts a warm and driving house spin on the track, preparing it for those early moments on the dancefloor whilst the dub is the quirky and more looming take on the original one to keep the bodies moving.

played by jamie jones, karotte, sebo k, shinedoe...

soundtrack 2019 to the wmc

within the music of galaxians - the duo of matt woodward and jed skinner formed in 2012 - lies a powerfully hedonistic strain that does much to loop a thread through the party lineage of their (adopted?) hometown of leeds. influenced by classic disco and house labels such as sleeping bag and chicago’s trax. from their raucous live shows at punk-associated diy spots to late night gigs with the likes of horse meat disco and auntie flo, this uk duo is making waves with a hedonistic strain of analog funk, disco, and house. includes the epic original and the more subdued siren remix. channeling new york’s late 80s “freak disco” (was not was, liquid liquid, arthur russell) and detroit’s acid house scenes, galaxians produce a maximum output from minimal set-up.
“fiercely danceable astral-gazing house-influenced duo tear up every show they play, regardless of who they’re billed with.” - nme
