werkstoff musik war ursprünglich eine kleine partyreihe im berliner underground. mit neuen perspektiven und ehrgeiz entstand daraus die idee ein plattenlabel zu gründen, den namen aber beizubehalten. die einstige zielsetzung wird hierbei natürlich auch übernommen, mal für mal neue musikalische erlebnisse zu schaffen. dreher & sm.art dürften spätestens nach ihrem erfolgreichem depeche mode remix jedermann ein begriff sein. viele weitere produktionen auf namenhaften labels wie acker, rotary cocktail und ostwind folgten. nun zum kick-off das erstrelease >dreieckspeilung< auf werkstoff musik, ein track der es wirklich in sich hat. mittels fetten synthies und bassigen elementen wird hier eine musikalische abfahrt inszeniert. unterm strich ergibt das ein hammerstück, welches durch seine euphorische stimmung nach sommer und open air schreit. support kommt hierbei, mit den remixen, von frank martiniq und jerando.

well ok, no rule without exception... this beautiful joint from johannes albert is a little web 2.0 fairy-tail: the white rookie & cratedigga no. 1 moomin found a youtube clip of a dj hammering a super-deep, rough piano track in a club in the german city of paderborn. he didnt know the track, so he sent the dj a mail asking and a few mails later, the tracks from johannes were blowing away mr. offermanns ears. so the labelhead decided to make this the next white. of course first of all johannes & oskar had to meet a few times to make sure they understand each others vision well and after a few meetings they eventually became friends. so the labels movement towards the direction of house is continued by this release. wooden pearls is pure housemusic to the core. very wooden & grounded in the lower spectrum and crystal clear up in the sky. these very honest and timeless tracks tell us a story. the story of johannes alberts passion for house. since he was 15 years old, he is a fan. from the german franconia he follows house throu his local recordstore >swing king<
