the second release from kalvaberget recordings. two long minimal house tracks from clark eng. old school flavored. deep and bassy with sweeping sounds.

as a central point of reference of grischa lichtenbergers la demeure/il y a pe&#769,,,ril en la demeure complex, raster-noton releases a limited edition of three 12inch vinyl eps that are accompanied by a handmade, signed and individualized screen print. the three eps were set up as an experiment. each of the records is guided by a word that could be described as a phantasmagoria, a delusion of the 20th century – like a metaphor that is concerned not only with its immediate meaning, but with an implication more emotional, more irrational, telling something about the mindset of the not so distant past.

up first on the ep comes splendid -copper-. a pure 909 detroit funky work out and a dancefloor-filler at its best. with his name kind of a bow to the originators and the vinyl history. waiting for the drop business. the second tune -memories- is harder and darker. it comes with a huge atmosphere. you can see a dark room with just a strobe and fog in front of you. last one is the title track -akira-. its more experimental with a broken beat and a vibe which feels like a walk through chernobyl. one for the heads.

emil take us out on a journey between drum n bass to ambient. from broken beats to techno. its a reason he is first out on kalvaberget recordings. this is a press of 250 copies (no digital release).

danish djuma soundsystem teams up with italian aki bergen and they get showered in spoken poetry by none other than south african lazarusman.the reciepe is already there and looking good,but even better.it sounds good too. 2 different versions from 2 great producers. aki bergens version is very driving, electronic and suitable for the primetime and late night hours. djuma soundsystem serves the more organic and deep version for the warm up hours and small intense clubs.

debut ep from industrious detroit-based dj, producer and live performer, previously seen on the nite owl diner. 4 effective, infective, face-melting techno cuts. original hand screen-printed artwork.

repress ... it s been a busy 3 years since danny berman aka red rack em released on his own bergerac imprint. since then he s toured relentlessly, released a whole album of live music based disco/punk funk for sonar kollektiv as hot coins, managed to completely update his biggest track in love again to make it a hit the second time around plus released spaced out, wonky party smashers on wolf music, phonica, city fly and telefonplan. while all this was going on bergerac was largely on ice but now berman is turning his energy back to the label with a vengeance.
dj support: dixon, ame, hunee, dam swindle, jimpster, inkswel, medlar, mad mats, doc daneeka, kito jempere, ron basejam ...

and the true secret of their value is the sobriety, the austerity, of the living space they inhabit. it means that they do not simply occupy, visibly, the space they belong in, but have the scope to perform a variety of unforeseen functions which enables them constantly to surprise us anew. this is what makes them precious and elevates them above the level of a common object.« walter benjamin, spain 1932 grischa lichtenbergers new release »spielraum« is the first of three vinyl eps to thematically accompany the 2-part album »la demeure, il y a péril en la demeure«. on »spielraum«, lichtenberger presents the elements introduced on the preceding album in a different context, but without defining them too precisely and breaking them down to only one dimension.

next up on les disques de la mort, and we playing with all the preconceptions, once more. now we are slowing things down, and speeding them up. the word is elastic . we are back with our most psychedelic release to date and you are the first to be injected. rodion & mammarella are known for their strange hybrid of slow burning electronic disco but they have been on the mountain of truth. they saw the light. they flew off. on the remix duties toulouse low trax provides the dusseldorf angel dust to suspend you in time and space and flavien berger, the new wunder french kid, is on the opiate shuffle.

incl adam beyer & monkey safari & coyu & rodriguez jr remixes

for nearly two decades, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. we just really like techno. our definition of the genre is fairly wide though, constantly evolving, which we have attempted to reflect in this our first release, compiling four very different tracks by local producers from our hometown of bergen. setting up a label branch has for years been a burried, old plan. to us, techno parties, no matter how unique and brilliantly planned, have such a short lifespan, and as such it feels good to finally start releasing something that can get a life of its own, perhaps grow into something entirely different.

nice price deal !!! philipp quehenberger s music has existed as a consistent strain amongst the austrian underground for the last 15 years. his output is a cracking combination of dance floor zeal and deep disco disorientation. a perpetually rotating sphere which blends genres whilst bending the body and mind. quehenbergers sweaty cerebrum is significantly showcased on his second full length for editions mego.

groovin techhouse stuff, incl juan sanchez remix

12 inch with 1 new quehenberger original (uffuff) and a trio of near remixes from his latest album hazard (released as laton 047 in 2009). patrick pulsinger tackles new beat, in his unique future funk sound. a welcome return of elin (who hasnt been on a mego record since 1995, check mego 003). he slurps out a version of hey gert, making it into an slamming slowed down twister of a track. this leaves the pumping excess of altroys (minimal sould) keep talking remix.

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

supported by: dubfire, wally lopez, tim green, bodymovin, mousse t, oliver klein, phonique, lemon popsicle, .. today the label returns with a release from its label heads, tube & berger.the german duo deliver their next club smash in the form of kreidler flory . jackin , filthy, tech beats work together with the heaviest of basslines to produce a track with a real san-fran esque stomp . crazy vocal stabs and gigantic snare-filled breakdown make this a secret summer weapon. on remix duty the boys have drafted in defected and cr2 artist, tapesh. giving the track a deeper feel, tapesh opens with deep throbbing keys.

after three digital-only releases polytone switches to vinyl and has signed new tracks from andreas heiszenberger for its first 12 inch release. heiszenberger has enjoyed great success last year with his release on brut! and links to the atmosphere and beat structure of his predecessor here. for polytone heiszenberger also relies on cool syncopated grooves and his heavy trademark beats as well as abstract pads which mingle with sweet harmonies and his laconic vocal snippets.the record is crowned with a great remix by popnoname who has just scored a hit with his new album on italic. of course, popnoname leaps at heiszenbergers harmonies, but also comes up with a really big surprise in the middle of the remix! cool, well-rounded record and a strong start of the vinyl business for polytone.

massive electro house peaktime monster, incl. deeper tech house remix by nicolas stefan (kompakt / karatemusik)

dortmunds very own ‚diskobär, the inimitable ante perry prepares for new double cd long-player extravaganza , flashing disco sounds, with two cuts exclusively produced with close studio comrades tube & berger. these hot co-productions between the long-time buddies simply cannot fail to get the party going. the overwhelming anthemic stir of human you is evident for the very start, but its true dancefloor potential can only be understood after the full ecstatic wonder of the breakdown pours out over a large crowd. super-constructed tech-discohouse is where its at in this high intensity, high drama, big room flashing disco monster. the curiously titled walthervondervogelweide on the other hand is a more brooding beast altogether. working the underlying tension and keeping the pressure tightly locked to the floor its a dangerous late night dancefloor workout... left in the wrong hands this could seriously damage your ability to leave the dancefloor! finally fellow dortmund heavy-calibre producer peter jürgens works his remixing magic and twists human you into a housed up, long building affair that operates on a more stripped, subterranean level to begin with but bursts out above ground with carefully timed energy. warm driving beats and pads layer to reveal the identifying melody of the original.

what an explosive mixture! kittball label owners tube & berger are teaming up with great stuff activist swen weber to produce their first common record, >hayabusa<. if you are a fan of their last years club hit >the young ad the wild ones<, you surely will love this one too! but also check >non stop<. 100% pure club action!
