when dial records started in 2000 with a bunch of friends highly inspired by deep house, detroit techno and cologne lovetunes, nobody of them ever thought about running a decent record label. the only concept david lieske, peter kersten and paul kominek had in their mind was never to be part of any proper record business, never to be controlled by any rule or trend, always to let the record label be a part of their love for music and arts. even the dial family was never intended growing that big, almost 70 percent of the artists on the first compilation are the same on >2010<, the history starting from a small label based in hamburg turned out climbing a high mountain. touching cities like detroit, tokyo, paris, berlin, buenos aires, releasing music like contemporary classic, drones and glitches, ambient, guitar pop, singer songwriter, deep house, minimal techno, discovering arts of protagonists such as michaela meise, sergej jensen, dirk stewen, hanna schwarz, anna mšller, cosima von bonin, all this fills a decade of dial records. but still the main part is the music and as we hold the 2010 compilation in our hands and listen to the tunes of phantom ghost, isolŽe, pantha du prince, carsten jost, john roberts, efdemin, lawrence, christian naujoks, dominique, rndm, pigon, kassian- we still have this enthusiastic feeling that wants to tell us: this is only the beginning

lawrence makes a full-length return to his own dial label with illusions

following 2017’s ‘path of ruin’, dj richard returns to dial with his much-anticipated sophomore lp, ‘dies iræ xerox’. undoubtedly one of the most distinctive and fully-formed electronic producers in recent memory, dj richard imprinted the sound of a bubbling us underground with his label, white material, founded in 2012 alongside young male.

since the early aughts, alan abrahams aka portable has been producing records for labels like perlon, live at robert johnson, k7, and süd electronic. with his new band project “ranger”, the releases as bodycode and portable and his very own label khoikhoi to be launched this summer, the south africa born alan abrahams is an artist in-between genres. “a life without notifications” is now here, marking his first release for dial records.

dj richard returns with another stunning release on dial records: path of ruin. inspired by the rather harsh magic of new england in winter - the place where the three tracks have been recorded - dj richard creates a wide and dark raving beauty.

interstate records is a newborn independent record label based between london and berlin. it’s run by the up-and-coming duo dial tone and aims to provide a vibrant and diverse platform for emerging and established artists within the techno scene, whilst occasionally touching upon ambient and other experimental music spheres.

a complex web – the story of dive position and the shining path ... began in 1982 when peter miller (aka dr. william s ray – vocals, tapes, guitar) met andrew millar (aka maurice spectograph the nose-y pieman – program execution) in gold coast, australia. while sharing a similar taste in music, they decided to form a band, so dive position was born. equipped with a korg synthesiser and tascam 4-track recorder, they -wanted to have the sound of kraftwerk, the groove of can, and the menace of throbbing gristle-, ending up with -a cross of suicide and the residents-, as peter recalls. in a local record shop they met stig andre leonardson (aka vincent blackshadow), who joined the duo on percussion and drum machine programming. their motto was -now is then-. dive position then became the fatal charm around 1984, and the fatal charm became the shining path who eventually released their only album -basic training manual- in an edition of only 250 copies, most probably in 1986. the band then started to drift apart, and shortly after andrew sadly passed away – this compilation -now is then- comprised of previously unreleased dive position and the shining path material is dedicated to his memory.

the brussels based guys from vitesse are debuting on the brand new crevette records label. dim the lights, pour yourself a sex on the beach and dial your stereos up to 10 for this one. a-side ‘in de lucht’ is an ode to the intoxicating pleasures of life while the dreamy synths and juicy bassline on ‘sorry adriaan’ encourages you to do nasty things… the dance floor pads and bells on b2 are guaranteed to ignite even the most challenging dance floors. whether your going to the discoteca or cruising into the sunset this ep will do the trick.

mörk white finally launches to provide a small sub-outlet for more off-mörk sounds. exploring rougher edges and surfaces as well as some more minimalistic and stripped back areas and a bit of sly electro.
no moon opens up the series with 2x12”s of vintage warmth & fire. rollocking techno production and alien vs predator atmospheres & wails on space station kicks things off, rolling into the crunchy piano roller that is unusual light curve - undulating chords & bass washed over pretty much the entire package.
