introducing rydim to the platte family with two intelligently crafted and versatile cuts. including remixes by cristopher rau and kareem.

christopher rau is one of smallvilles steady mainstays, with yamato he is delivering four tracks, that perfectly describe the seductive cosmos of smallvilles sound. there is nods to the past as well as a way to a timeless future. carefully evolving melody, voices and something caressing from somewhere far away- but within your heart in just a moment. its bubbling and telling stories from the inside but its still targeted straight to a dancefloor- dedicated to the sweetest ones of the world.

after baazs successful album red souvenirs, office recordings is coming up with three wild remixes by dorisburg, christopher rau and s.a.m.

berlin-based roundqubemusik welcomes cristopher ledger (the code studio, berlin) with seventh orphism ep which includes three original tracks plus a remix from gabriele carasco & francesco passantino. judging by the vastly different set of sounds used here, from the elegance of the piano to the hypnotism and abstractism of the synths mostly due to experiments with modular synthesis. seventh orphism is an ep which marks out ledger as a very good artist to watch out for.

a: christopher rau_people see: dérive is de retour! and time always waits for this man: christopher rau, dérive’s infamous impresario who offers you a delightful floating track on the a-side, its tricky and nonetheless very danceable rythmn should encounter you on the dancefloors in a spring-like mood. b: christopher rau_sekt é ron: on the back-side christopher shows his other musical side: dark, tripping, meditating. but what does the title mean? probably he doesn’t know either. however, its cryptic style fits the inscrutable shape of the track. well, you’ll hear from us at the latest next year again – approximately! – according to the gentle beat of dérive …

maybe one of the bigger open air releases this year. slow motion minimal pop house at its best. having started to spin hip-hop records in his hometown frankfurt / main he finally ended up in berlin. his >mirrors< ep on katermukke and >akumal< on laut & luise, where released to wide acclaim and already show his versatility and finesse. his remixes and co-productions for instance with nu and acid pauli does confirm his musical pedigree and make us eagerly await all the marvelous things yet to come from this fledging artist.

2015 repress, support by: brothers vibe, dj koze, eric cloutier, laurent garnier, shinedoe, sevensol, tini and many more ... within a year christopher rau has managed established himself as one of the most promising german deep-house producer with striking releases on labels such as smallville, giegling or his own imprint dérive. as a direct follow up to his album on smallville now comes his debut ep on aim with three well selected tracks that show an intriguing understanding of deepness. >stockings< with its funk riffs and filtered vocals brings is a wonderfully uplifting tune, with an enticing oldskoolish vibe that brings back some precious memories. >anita niesz< (a collaboration with jacques bon) is not only a rare manifestation of musical talent in electronic dance music today, but also a intimate atmospheric tune that will work the finest dance floors and bedrooms

quadriga recordings celebrates its 1st anniversary and invites berlin based djane ela h. and hamburg villanova club resident christopher lawrenz (own, body parts) to deliver two massive remixes for alpamayo by retrosynco, releasing them not only digital but this time also on limited vinyl format. don t miss it!

christopher rau strikes back with another smallville episode of dreams that money can buy. after a couple of diverse releases lately on office, dérive and junk-yard collections, he proves his unique exposure to deeply diving with the machines again on smallville. christopher raus aural works feel like an outer worlds embrace, an analog kiss from the beyond. here it is the soundtrack made for our favorite places to escape reality: a magic club, a deepest dream. dont wake up!

for number 03 on the office imprint christopher rau comes up with three smooth effective house rollers!

>simple setup< in fact, this fine tune could have the capability of becoming a true >summer hit< – unfortunately we will release it not until september 2013. but maybe you like its loose and uplifting atmosphere anyway. christopher rau must have produced this good-humoured work with a big smile in his face. >save the energy< attentive boys and girls surely realize that we made a misspelling on the label! so what! more unlucky would be if we release a bad track. but christopher turns out in an experienced way what he knows best: relaxed deep house with a melancholic touch.>athens< what a rumbling tune! one definitively should play >athens< on a good sound system to enjoy its profound sub bass. and dear djs, please dont underrate it just because we placed it on position b2. played at the right time this track can work on the floor as well as the other ones.

neu auf 7 vinyl: das modern-soul-essentials-dreier-package teil 2 von outta sight!

christopher rau has been impressing people since a while! here three tracks that impressed the junk yard connections crew a while ago on a mix tape, not knowing what it was, or who it was! finally they tracked down its origins and found out that it was unreleased tracks by christopher! now finally these tracks see the day light! inter alia, *the green bean*, which has some of that sexy swampy house vibe like theo parrish or stl can do. on the flip its *some song* with its more techier vibe, somehow with an atmosphere reminding of model 500s classic starlight. and last but not least the b2 track no chatter with its up beat house vibe. amazing tracks that are the first tracks on the label from outside the jyc crew. tracks that are here to stay on valuable wax. another cool junk yard connections release.

it is the end of the world (again!) and laut & luise gladly welcomes a new artist to the family: on akumal ep - his first vinyl release - christopher schwarzwalder puts together four exploratory, driving and hypnotic tracks. after waking you from your slumber with >keep< (a1), >jakob< (a2) entices you to take a little ride into the sunset. on the flip side, >barely legal< (b1) easily brings you down into the night, while the hidden energy of >das ganze boot auf acid< (b2) will mesmerize you for the hours after the hours, leaving you in a place where time is of no interest.

top house release from the man !

well known for his minimalistic choice of ingredients christoper rau somehow frees himself of any straight format. songs full of sweetness, a glimpse of soul here, a detroit electro influence there, broken beats, breaks that are no breaks, sexyness and funk and fun.

our long time friend lawrence is back to mule musiq since his excellent 12 inch >above the sky< in 2011. we think its not necessary to say bla bla about his beautiful house music. christopher rau remix made something special ...

big with: norm talley, juniper, gerd, jimpster, recloose, baaz, ben sims, jonas kopp, chris duckenfield, eric cloutier, cedric maison, ethyl, semtek, will saul. creative swing alliance, glimpse, groove armada, huxley, nicholas, ricard miranda, alex coulton, the rhythm odyssey, mano le tough, john osborne, disco bloodbath, dfrnt, chicago damn, vinyl-only label never learnt return with a four track release from christopher rau featuring a blistering, raw remix from lerosa. following releases from nyra and october & borai, the london/limerick-based imprint is in fine fettle and this latest release sees the smallville man, rau, turn in some of his best work to date.

around 3 weeks before the release of oliver deutschmanns double cd slim audio wax01 comes as an appetizer for that multimediapackage. we see the brilliant christopher rau and moomin team up for the drum fuelled deepness of a place at night, deutschmann himself at his most retrospective in tourist crap and milton bradley delivers his experimental and sick interpretation of oliver deutschmanns tourist crap track. oldschool techno and house all the way. enjoy!

the debut release of christopher rau on mule musiq. christopher rau have released from such a amazing label like smallville records or dj kozes pampa. he is definetly one of the best artist in the modern deep house scene. title track on a side is quite unique deep house tune. its like a collaboration of larry heard and dj koze. on b side, >that dam love< is already picked up for mule label compilation >im starting to feel ok vol.5< this track is his trademark melancholic house tune. >balance live< is more minimal&alternative.

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

>i dont have any plans, i just make music for fun< said the latest addition to the hypercolour roster, christopher rau, in a recent interview. the hamburg house don is not wrong, either, with his deep and non-linear sounds leading the way on labels like smallville and pampa. here teaming up with friend tilman tausendfreund, the pair turns in one effort each, plus two collaborative tracks on their pea gravel ep.

christopher is one half of niederflur, who have been releasing music on richie hawtin s minus label for over eight years, with several twelve-inch releases and an outstanding full length album!

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe
