last year we released aaron ahrends first brief embrace ep, which received lots of great feedback. ada (pampa) took newborn and started to do a remix. at the same time she took some larvae as pets and watched their metamorphosis. at the end she released them as butterflies. the tune was highly recommended at here bbqs over the last summer. last year the forgotten birds (karaoke kalk) decided to stop touring as a band. their first and might be last remix at all was created spontaneously in a jam session. enough reason for to be very happy about their awesome gift.

2017 repress, the r&b ep is a selection of ground breaking, genre blurring bootlegs / edits. these tracks continue our mission to change the way we dance, from the minimal 2-step to a much freakier marcy grind. all three cuts have been a major part of our dj sets over the past few tours and everything is dance-floor approved (in some cases even with sing-a-long). it is with great pleasure that we can share this with you for this limited edition pressing! extravaganza - a guaranteed >ladies-report-to-the-dancefloor-for-booty-shake< anthem, this tune tells the story of the romance/heartbreak from a one night stand. sex in the kitchen – over by the stove, put you on the counter by the buttered rolls… its rare to get into such fine details about the culinary arts while raving, and now this bass heavy edit done changed the game. dreams of tomorrow – take one colombian jam session, add a sprinkle of lee curtiss drums and a whole lot of lonnie liston smith and what do you get? mo money

tokyos kez yms follow up to his maiden yore ep, city soul, opts for a more pronounced party vibe, as evidenced by the plenitude of voices that repeatedly pop up during butterflys four deep house tracks. the material sounds of japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi puts a clubby spirit to this ep. propelled by a beautifully warm and soulful bass pulse, inner city funk grooves mightily for five blissful minutes, its rhythm bolstered by the crisp snap of the snare, the funky wah wah of an electric guitar, and the occasional interjection of a synthesizer melody. bridge to bridge quickly charts its own percolating course with the addition of a stepping disco house pulse and a male voices sleepy, off handed musings. bringing the lights down for a romantic make-out session, the sexy low tide chills the pace slightly so that spent dancers can catch their breath and replenish themselves before the next go-round. of the four tracks, the title cut grooves most powerfully in merging a rambunctious broken beat drum attack with an equally driving bass line and manic electric guitar soloing. play these jams loud.

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor
