rafael da cruz 1st black label 12inch finally hits the streets, dipping into deeper, gloomier spheres of house. soaring synths cleverly trim the bed of fat broad baselines. the black 80s give the original a wicked analogue touch, with a splendid soulful vocal version as bonus track. cosmic cowboys and david hasert supply two impressive remixes that both create a dark, but uniquely vibrant scenery and complete the package.

the second vinyl is full of remixes from the first one. the small vinyl manufactory in the tree house is working in high quality. et voilá, david last (incl. dop voices), demas, florist and sebastian albrecht are the remixers and they have placed their saws and axes in the shed and carved a few tasteful sounds in electronic sisyphean. like the first release, it is musical understatement with pure groove research and a commitment to a culture of sound of the early perlon vinyls. stay tuned for more high quality music.

trunk - and branches fetched by klangscheiben manager demas with diligent helpers from the forest. they built a wooden house of joy in the middle of the thuringian pampa. in the tree house they set up a small vinyl manufactory. what counts is lively, honest craftsmanship. hunter s tree! here they are, the pieces of wood, uh vinyl. scratched into the inner bark stands out: artists have placed their saws and axes in the shed and carved a few tasteful sounds in electronic sisyphean. chapeau et voilà, because what s crawling out of the wood boxes (clearly!) is not a worm, but musical understatement with pure groove research and a commitment to a culture of sound of the early perlon vinyls. oh god, always these analogies... but there were, no, there are good times for good music! this is magnificent fizzle funk with emo edge. relish and dance!

3rd release of downbeat black label, the sublabel of downbeat. the owners of the label, jose rico, urtzi and f-on present us two long slow motion tracks with field recordings, whirring melodies and voices from beyond the grave. two dense experiments which show us the less kind side of downbeat and continue along the path opened up by *solaris*. only 200 copies pressed.

the second lobster theremin white label comes from the mysterious australian producer, daze. making his release debut with four original tracks, daze covers varying strains of tough melodic house, ferocious acid and old school breakbeat, taking us on an experiential journey into the heart of british rave culture via detroit-influenced electro and rough and ready tape jams.

rough, rugged and raw psycho jackers, that fill you up before the main course is served. parts unknown, weight unknown, this hasnt been the first and definitely is not the last you will hear from this guy. promo only like way back when, just to give you a little taste of what is to come. not coming back!

eine bestechende auswahl an belebenden house tracks. bis dato vielleicht der beste cocolores remix, plus einem großartig-atemberaubenden remix von anushka (neuer künstler auf gilles petersons brownswood label) und wieder einmal ein toller und smarter lukas bohlender house-mix. das spiel ist noch lange nicht vorüber, es hat gerade erst auf dem richtigen fuß begonnen! robinn ist eindeutig ein frischer name/act, den es zu entdecken, beobachten und verfolgen gilt. es ist beruhigend und zugleich fesselnd, wenn man sich den modernen hybriden aus post-dubstep, nu broken soul, düsterem downbeat kombiniert mit den authentisch-stimmungsvollen vocals von nathaniel pearn (natural self / tru thoughts) hingibt. robinns album -multiphonia- erschien im oktober 2013 auf compost records.
