spring 2006 was both cruel and exciting. radiating hot helsinki nights, too much light and vivid, restless dreams about music. while chucking down a glass of cheap brandy in a local bar the idea finally materialized: lets start a record label! a label that would bring people together. proud people. people thinking of music. people doing their own thing in their own way in their own basements. and most importantly, people who understood the meaning of space between notes. after 5 years, 16 records, 85 tracks and 44 artists from 13 countries it goes without saying that those restless dreams became reality. and so did the music.

vezelay is 30 year old matthieu le berre who is from clermont-ferrand in france and this six track e.p. of short dreamlike electropop is his debut release.
the >lyre e.p.< simply and beautifully mixes stripped down simple pop structures with a dreamlike quality featuring matthieus soft falsetto singing. the feeling is quite lo-fi and hazy and with repeated listens reveals an austere depth and complexity.

meine zarten pfoten ( my tender paws ) is the eagerly-awaited album by lady ada that everybody s been longing to get a hold of for so long. her second album after debut blondie truly is a revelation. ada has successfully cast off that four-to-the-floor yoke and has recorded songs that go way beyond all our well-known categories, hovering above everything in a state of serene disengagement. it s certainly ppp in its broadest sense, but ultimately it s a work of music that radiates such an amazing warmth and tranquility that it will even sedate the biggest nervous wreck into a state of subtle receptiveness. this record is your friend. it s a shining light of beauty, glowing from the inside. humans have feelings. and it s only the noblest of feelings that these nine songs arouse. after listening to them you’re left with a slightly sheepish smile on your face. and then you press play again

so here we go again, dj mehdi and riton are carte blanche. cant stop, wont stop. the new ep is called white man on the moon, and includes smashing jack on the moon, and next single with you, featuring alexis taylor from hot chip on vocal duties. the new mixtape is called house party 2: the pyjama jam. and last but not least, the new tour is called carte blanche revue, its worldwide, its djing and tr-909ing, its rollerskate dancing, its popping, and its locking (for real)

from now on, the duo’s ascent was constant and then lightning struck: remixes for n.e.r.d, britney spears, franz ferdinand, u2, daft punk, lenny kravitz and an ep in 2006 (” waters of nazareth “) defining the “justice sound, this famous ultra-powerful compression of pop and baroque melodies, both dark and threatening, lightning and animative, and above all the famous justice image, the cross from which an earlier version figures on the first ep. 2007 was the explosion that will turn the duo into the emblem of a whole generation: their first album “†, anticipated like the messiah, holds all the promises, and swept everything away as an epic soundtrack. “†” is more than a magnificent synthesis of our time: its potential definition. 800 000 sales worldwide and 4 years later, the album is considered as a mainstay of the 2000s puzzled and tonic, one of the few who bridged the gap from pitchfork world to mtv without losing its credibility. ++etched vinyl + 90 cm x 60 cm poster (500 are signed by the band !!!)++

there are certain songs that are so very good, the only singular word that accurately describes them is satisfying. >wait & see< is one of those: an aural pleasure that scratches an itch and hits the spot so precisely, it almost feels like self-denial not to listen on repeat. on holy ghost!s latest ep, the absurdly catchy single from their self-titled 2011 debut gets a makeover from three of dance musics titans: cfcf, kris menace and richard x. and while this batch of remixes finds the artists behind each track steering in new directions, each finds a way to capitalize on the irresistible danceability of the original.

kompakt has always been partial to belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of geoffoy and the star of our show today – kolombo. we have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember kolombo from a number of big tunes for turbo, vice versa and boxer recordings. kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo belgian new beat with >waiting for<. a 105 bpm driven concoction of classic house, balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro howard jones of his memorable hit >everlasting love< means yes, we have a winner!

gus gus aus island zählen ganz ohne zweifel zu den wenigen dance-acts, die sich seit mehr als anderthalb jahrzehnten kontinuierlich oben halten konnten. lange zeit waren sie beim legendären indie-label 4ad unter vertrag, nun erscheint ihr zweites album bei der superrenommierten kölner elektronik-plattform kompakt, wo sie im jahr 2009 als trio wieder zu hochform aufliefen. >arabian horse< ist nun zwar nicht minder elektronisch, aber stilistisch zwischen electro, pop, techno und soul deutlich breiter aufgestellt. obendrein markiert >arabian horse< die rückkehr des gus gus-sängers earth. ebenso wieder an bord ist hogni elisson von hjalatin. mit >arabian horse< ist dem isländischen kollektiv ein fantastisches album gelungen, das an eine fast vergessene Ära in den frühen 90er-jahren erinnert, als the beloved mit ihrem dance-pop maßstäbe setzten, klassische house-musik ihren kreativen höhepunkt erreichte und massive attack eine neue urbane soul-musik erschufen

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

after releasing some highly acclaimed records on delsin tel aviv-based yoav b. releases three new tracks on the belgian meakusma label. gently rubbing shoulders with detroit techno (the way anthony shakir produces it) and hiphop, built on crazy loops and raw rhythms, the tracks are enhanced with psychedelic and playful sounds, that give them the feeling of being in continuous flux and movement. the mood here is absorbing yet ambivalent. on top of this, protect-u, from the fantastic future times camp, delivers a remix, pulling the music away from reality, firmly aiming it for the universe. with a mid-tempo house feeling, a crispy bassline and abstract synthesizer pattern, they take the listener beyond the infinite.

in its original incarnation, shit robots -losing my patience- – a choice cut from 2010s from the cradle to the rave — strikes a balance between iciness and warmth, with hot chip frontman alexis taylors soulful vocals melting the tracks frosty synthlines. now, hot chip and unabombers remix the track and redefine its feel. hot chips new take on the single mystifies the original with deeply cut grooves, squelching bass and taylors heartbreaking, trilling vocals, pushed to lonesome front and center. the whole procession builds to a climax of chiming keys, striking percussion and synth melodies that corkscrew firmly into your head. the uks unabombers – the dj duo of luke cowdrey and justin crawford – take a cosmic approach, laying down synths that stretch toward infinity and holding off on vocals till near the songs midpoint. the dub remix gains traction and energy in its latter stages, with a heady mix of piercing synth squeals and taylors vocalizations set on repeat, like a mantra urging party goers to the dancefloor

freur is the band that featured karl hyde and rick smith before they formed electronic mega act underworld. the band was formed in the early 1980s in cardiff, wales. it originally just had a graphic squiggle for a name. when they signed a record deal in 1983 their label insisted on a pronounceable name so the band made the compromise that the squiggle was pronounced freur. their 1983 released debut album >doot doot< was an ambitious album consisting of early techno, being a set of synthesized beats and keyboard riffs.
