showcase on cosmo vitellis im a cliche label

after releasing the last train to marzahn ep in 2016, im a cliche boss cosmo vitelli is back with the labels first release of 2017, cliche066.

two years after the release of his acclaimed debut ep on i m a cliche, jakarta s best kept secret is back on cosmo vitelli s imprint with four terrific original tracks. jonathan kusuma is a producer who has managed in the space of a few releases and remixes to develop a signature sound which mostly relies on taking disco and ebm elements and putting them in new and unexpected contexts, offering us a glimpse of what modern dance music would sound like if house and techno had never existed. narcotic, hedonistic, abstract and particularly efficient on the dancefloor, kusuma s music is always about quality and never about quantity and so we are particularly thrilled to share with the world the four new tracks that constitute this ep.

im a cliches first release of 2016 comes from label boss cosmo vitelli. after a five year hiatus during which he was kept busy by his band bot ox and relocating from paris to berlin, this is the very first release to come out of his new studio located in berlins marzahn district.

tel avivs red axes are back on im a cliche for the second instalment in their ongoing shem series.

im a cliche is proud to present a self-titled mini-lp by stiletti-ana aka ilari larjosto, the legend of helsinkis underground.

we are proud to present the debut ep from docteur satan, a new project by i m a cliches own crackboy, aka krikor. †docteur satans speciality resides in injecting a lethal dose of horror to the dancefloor through the lens of new beat, belgiums own slow burning and utterly decadent sound.

orestt is one of those talented producers with a sporadic discography that remains viciously underrated.

this is the first entry in red axe s shem series on i m a cliché which will see the israeli duo releasing tracks geared towards the dancefloor but always retaining the one-of-a-kind approach that it distills in all its productions

hot on the heels of moscomans dark horse ep, im a cliches latest release features indonesias best kept secret, the talented jonathan kusuma on the gong 3000 ep where tracks ranging from the heavenly to the downright gritty showcase the full range of the producers abilities.

moscoman – dark horse ep – i m a cliche. after an lp by red axes and an ep by bot ox earlier this year, im a cliche is back in the saddle with a new look and a new feel while keeping the same great sound. two eps including this one are going to be released on both digital and vinyl formats this fall, leading up to very special 10th anniversary celebrations in paris towards the end of the year.

three eps on im a cliche from 2012 and a bunch of eps, tracks, remixes and edits on international imprints such as correspondant, relish, days of being wild, throne of blood, kill the dj and more, made red axes gain respect throughout all the cold-ravers community.

mit sans dormir kehren die beiden franzosen mit eindrucksvollen krachern zurück - der name ist programm!
der vinyl-lp liegen ein downloadcode für das gesamte album sowie eine cd mit unveröffentlichten titeln bei.

botox present >basement love<, the first part of their second album >sans dormir<. two years after their previous lp >babylon by car<, cosmo vitelli and julien briffaz decided to unveil this new project through six different moments - call them eps - like six volumes forming a single story, each one being released every two months. the slow title-song >basement love< is released as a way of introduction, along three dancefloor remixes that lift this basement up in the air.

if im a cliche were a home, fit would be the guest room. im a cliché has some relatives - whether distant or close - who happen to produce isolated gems that just have to be released. the first volume of fit gathers four dance tracks made by different people based in various countries. fitting im a cliches artistic view is the only thing they have in common, and it means a lot to the label.

!!!mixmags tune of the month 5/5!!!
bot ox guys, cosmo vitelli and julien briffaz, perfect pair of its kind, return where they somehow belong: the dancefloor of a club. their remixes for other artists - logo, aladdin and even the unexpected toxic avenger - showed their soft spot for dancing, lately. this pair of tracks brings something special as they feature the foremost poets for the vocal part.. a figure of the underground dance music wall of fame, the foremost poets aka johnny dangerous is also a voice that techno and deep house lovers keep in a corner of their imagination: >i ll beat that bitch with a bat<, >reasons to be dismal<, >moonraker<, >pressin on<.... two versions of >perfect pair< are proposed along the most classical standards: an >original< one and a >dub< 13-minutes one. each of them have their own progressive, undated flavor

already support : clement meyer, danton eeprom, chef, joakim, das glow, remain, headman, nick chacona, tomas barford, photonz, munk, romain bno…

new ep from cliches camp by mysterious binary chaffinch, delivering an epic masterpiece of 19:33 minutes with >heavenz gate<.

babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future – its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in

put your seatbelts on! after hitting toys in slow motion, bot.ox puts it into gear and takes to the autobahn, with uptempo drums, mad synth lines and freaky naive melody at the next left turn. >overdrive< could have been a perfect horror movie soundtrack, something like the pop corn theme covered by d.a.f.

first 12 inch from double cd compilation >moments of a crisis<, celebrating 5 years of cosmo vitellis >i m a cliche< label! happy birthday!

alongside the release of his long awaited first album and his endless world tour, yuksek found the time to make a remix for his old pals of im a cliché. and the result is killer. he kept the melodic dimension of the original and used his skills to turn it into a huge floor filler.

uncle o is someone we have an unlimited respect for, here at im a clich. a restless record digger with an insane record collection, a resident dj at the mythical bains douches club in paris at its golden era (82-85), a graphic designer for james white, omd, the cure, a certain ratio as they were touring in france, and later part of the emerging french hip hop scene (he even appeared on vocals on the seminal french hit h.i.p h.o.p, french people will know what it s about!). he produced occasionnal instrumentals for french hip hop bands like assassin, released a few cult records as jackos and organised some of the best parties in paris, the toxic nights.
