hinter dem pseudonym des pariser produzenten adrien erra verbirgt sich eine überbordende energie und eine facettenreiche, rhythmische und luftige musik, die sowohl vom house aus detroit als auch von den balearic-house-inspirationen aus ibiza beeinflusst ist.
repress - the previous 3 volume series is now compiled as a compact 2lp. the late, great j dilla is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, in part because his ear for music was so diverse and expansive. as dilla’s mother ma dukes explains, “he didn’t come with a limited capacity, and real producers produce, produce, and produce. “there are no formats for genius workers ... just non-stop creations.” now, a fresh batch of those creations will be made available to the world for the first time, in the form of the latest official j dilla release, dillatronic. presented by ma dukes and compiled by djs alien villainz (fellow detroit natives who worked closely with dilla), dillatronic contains over 40 rare instrumentals that showcase dilla’s undeniable electronic influences. j dilla’s music was impacted by the diverse musical history of detroit - the birthplace of techno and one of the most important cities in the history of electronic music. “you can hear it in songs like ‘raise it up’ for slum village or ‘make it hurt’ for busta rhymes,” says young rj (dilla’s protégé and member of slum village). “the detroit influence is part of what gave him an edge in production.” with today’s music sounding more electronic than ever, dillatronic has a shockingly contemporary feel. “these tracks are still ahead of their time sonically,” explains rj. “the things producers are doing now, dilla did that 15 years ago.”
2022 repress - ltd 1 copy / customer - sophie lloyd produced calling out in a dreary january as an antidote to the pervading doom and gloom of the news, summoning the power of the most joy-filled sound of all, gospel. the track radiates all the live atmosphere of gospel worship in mid flow, with soul trio dames brown bringing the authenticity. following the 7” release, which sold out due to huge demand, comes the 12” complete with the original version plus two brand new mixes from floorplan. the duo of detroit techno pioneer robert hood and his daughter lyric hood are well known for their gospel-infused sound with hood’s hometown influences always apparent. their club mix opens with a heavily swinging groove which breaks down into pure 4/4 indulgence, while the revival mix singles out the looped piano and organ riffs. putting their assertive spin on this new classic anthem, floorplan turn up the levels on calling out, bathing it in further glory.

repress 2021 - ricardo villalobos is back on raum musik with his third solo single for our label. the a side is a signature sounding track that can easily be described as a true masterpiece of him and it also has been sought after already for quite a while now by the ones that have heard it. the b side is unusually straight compared to most of his recent productions and builds a great tension if you let it play for a while. it also works very well as a perfect mixing tool. we hope you like these tracks as much as we do and as for the rest we just prefer to let the music do the talking…
