rob bellevilles 4 track ep for adepth audio is his first vinyl release, following previous releases on the schall netlabel and paul macs digital label sulamuse. the 3 original synth-driven tracks on this ep are a perfect example of robs capability to produce epic-sounding tracks which are deep, soulful, energetic, and dancefloor-friendly.
german techno producer arne weinberg chose to remix the title track sounds of introspection and has delivered a version with a perfect blend of the original tracks main elements and his own beloved signature sound.

the second in a series on theory featuring solid dancefloor friendly cuts that have been a staple of ben sims sets for a while on cdr, that are now getting a full vinyl (a little later on) and digital release.
tried and tested around the globe, these 4 uptempo tracks from established and up n coming artists have been doing damage at many a club and festival over the summer, with a pauls >satori< and the crackerjack remix of bens recent smoke machine release especially, getting some seriously frenzied reactions from lovers of the tough techno groove.
straight up no nonsense toys for your box. enjoy!

marcin czubalas track titles are starting to closely mirror his career path. like a swift gazelle czubala bounces back and forth between mobilee records and nick curlys 8bit recordings, leaving in his wake a trail of triumphant releases. >zoo comunale< springs czubala back to mobilee after the success of his >minskaya< ep on 8bit, and jumping in the cage with him is none other than well renowned artist hugo. an impressive discography and busy touring schedule have made hugo a reputable name in clubs around the globe. as a fan of his jazz educated, funk inspired sound czubala approached hugo to collaborate. the subsequent intertwining of these two musical animals produced >zoo comunale<, its bouncy grooves and hypnotic loops tinged with a bit of funk. animalistic stuff. >zoo comunale< is comprised of two tracks, a-side >zoo comunale< and b-side >no tu no<, as well as a digital bonus track >polita<. every track has its own unique twist, each proving perfect for dance floors world wide. mobilee says welcome to the zoo, and enjoy!

wat is a sound, a digital wave, an electronic bomb! electric guitars like synths, like ice in the fire. easily: smile on your face, a fist on your head!

dont be afraid is a dual format vinyl / digital label championing underground uk house and techno music. the first 4 releases will be eps from semtek, with remixes from a range of talented, original and respected producers. on dba001 semtek combines elements of his many musical influences, with the skills he has carefully honed over time. the ep kicks off with the deep housey feel of bells, before moving on to the tracky breakbeat undertones of key, while the old skool vibe of village completes the package. exclusive to the vinyl is the warped acid dancefloor cut tower, inspired by the sound of early belgian techno and the dance music of legendary frankfurt clubs like dorian grey.

deep a & biri have been involved in the tel aviv house scene for some time. with this 3 track ep plus digital bonus track they give their debut now.
>twisted tango< is the most stripped down of all three tracks and a real cool groover. one of these tracks that grow enormously with volume and space. these two guys have got a good vision of how dance music should be to clad the clubbers in cotton batting. their cool way of transmitting indifference has always been the carrier of sensuality and sexiness in entertainment and it does create a certain kind of peppermint stench here. the vocals stabs in this one work like dubby elements which deep a & biri drop like things dropping out of your pocket.
>mischievous< is a perfect bassline monster... deep and heavy with a genius >pam pam< vocal stab. we dont know where these samples come from but they are luscious as hell. welcome to the pleasure dome!
>hine gama< is as cool as the two other tracks but but a little more laissez-faire fair. we dont think that anybody will be able to resist this bright light brown colour it shows with all its reflections of intensive sunbeams shining in.
this release fits perfectly to the last release on trapez ltd.

fergie and excentric kicking off the year with ragaroo, a tense builder, winding things up to an uncontrollable level with a mixture of rising and just plain strange sounds, with the usual high production standards that you expect from a fergie track. on remix duties is jus phil (monu digital), who returns to the excentric after his shuffling and bass heavy remix of fergie - break-out from earlier in the year. his take introduces a low slung yet bouncy groove, hooking listeners in before using the weird craggy effects of the original to really take things to a new level of twistedness

nach einem jahr der pause gewinnt musik neue freunde. kein wunder, denn viel schöner kann musik nicht sein. edle digital-streicher, feines arrangement und ein remix von mick rubin machen die platte zum neuen besten freund !! repress !!

support by: supported by: adam beyer, joseph capriati, sven wittekind, technasia, pfirter, kyle geiger, axel karakasis, lars klein, dylan drazen, a.mochi, odessa soundfreaks, lars wickinger, kobbe and many more ...
virgil enzinger is for sure one of the most respected austrian techno producers. with releases on labels like clr, kombination research, masters of disaster and many other well known imprints virgil fixed his position in the international techno league. after his massive vx album fiction hes now back on driving forces recordings with two dark and pure techno tracks in the typical enzinger style. next to the original versions of form of the formless and final movement the vinyl features another great rmx by the dutch audio assault labelhead bas mooy, while the digital version comes along with an exclusive rmx by the dfr labelheads sutter cane & mark domine.

here at the exprezoo headquarters we like to keep looking forward and to search for new and undiscovered talents, but we also like to go back to the sounds of our roots and, its not a secret, we are in love with neapolitan techno. blend these ingredients, stir for a while, and voila the fourth release on our catalog, by rio padice. actually, the kid isnt really a new one, since he s already had releases on welt,mosaiko, metroline limited and exprezoo digital besides being half of the new and hyped horacio project along with massi dl, but hes part of the new generation of neapolitan producers who keep going down the path started by marco carola and danilo vigorito. the a-side, don dragone, has a techno mood that we didnt feel for some time and that takes us back to when hardgroove was leading the dancefloors, updating and actualizing its sounds, while on the b-side elm street is made to satisfy the classiest tastes, taking the atmosphere towards a good-for-every-purpose dub techno. the last track on the ep, leviatano, keeps up the feeling we fell in love with on question and zenit, with funky percussions and sunny, warm synths.

the third komisch release is by the parallel. with a string of digital releases to his credit, this talented new producer now makes his vinyl debut.
>abyss< gets down to business,as spacey textures melt into billowing chord sequences, underpinned by spiky claps and intricately woven pitchbent percussion. by the time the massive kick arrives, the seduction is complete.
>mind reverse< is focused on the floor, its stomping beats and metallic, robotic synths becoming increasingly more claustrophobic until the track breaks into a ghostly breakdown.
big with: dave clarke, surgeon, kirk degiorgio, peter van hoesen, serge (clone), samuli kemppi, cio d or ...

baile is the third strike from the mangue crew. this time supported by pierre deutschmann (low spirit, vandit, platform b, exx records) and click click (kassette, autist, kaufe digital, vekton). great tribalistic four tracker.

dark beat is a new label from glasgow, set up to promote its own take on deep, dark atmospherical techno.
after the success of their digital releases this is our first dark beat remixes vinyl which has cuts from the very popular omen and untamed eps from label bosses deepbass & roman toletski.
on the a side we have oddity with a massive remix from mark broom. his remix of oddity is a no nonsense stripped back techno affair with a ripping synth line, the track teases you with a number off small drops before the massive atmospheric breakdown which would bring carnage on any dance floor.
on the b side we have the orb theory with a remix from edit select who seems to be able to to no wrong with his string of releases on his self named label edit select records. his remix explores the realms of atmospherical techno and has a straight up tribal feel about it, this track has been creating quite a fuss at berlins berghain during the early hours. the track has a percussive drive with rolling snares and a beautiful synth line that rises and fades throughout the track.
the tracks have been getting massive support from dubfire, len faki, jpls, ambivalent, drumcell, audio injection, dustin zahn, perc, dj emerson, alan fitzpatrick, alex bau, anderson noise, danny tenaglia, chris fortier, jim masters, par grindvik, hernan cattaneo, anthony pappa and luke slater.

its been a hot minute since we dropped an official street bass release, but the wait has definitely been worth it. this ep is a preview of the heat that will be the >street bass anthems volume 4< mixtape, hitting on cd and digital this fall.
for those uninitiated, street bass is what starkey and dev79 have coined for their unique interpretation of bass heavy urban music. the first three volumes of the mixtape series (and the associated singles) have been runaway successes in the clubs, on the streets, and with the press!

second release on the bounce by helixir on 7even recordings after his last digital dubby experience >xp dub / peace dub< in june! recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of french electronic music producers, the man from strasbourg is back this time with two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style.
>convultions< is a real dancefloor weapon, the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass becoming more and more insistent, the beats never stop evolving along the journey, the breaks hit your senses, pure badness from this ultra precise producer!
>let me drive now< brings you to a beautifully produced track through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres, somewhat akin to 2562s latest directions. a beautiful piece of music, tightly produced by helixir, who shows again his mastery of the studio and modern bass music.

in addition to our first artist album on connaisseur >estroe – elemental assets< and after the first successful vinyl extract >le flaneur<, we present the second single >updraft< with interpretations by joel mull and our man from the big apple tedd patterson. all 12 remixes will be released as remix album in digital plus a few remix extracts on vinyl. look forward to more remixes from audiofly, ripperton, steve rachmad, melon, beatpharmacy, patrick chardronnet, roberto rodriguez and nuno dos santos.
updraft – the second remix extract on vinyl is by true veterans in techno business. the first rework is done by joey mull, who delivers a straight pumping but still melodic dance floor mover.

shaker plates is the vinyl sublabel of the very successsfull digital label >shak digital<. after two releases (including an angel alanis ep, remixed by classics luke solomon) its time for label owner rick n to present his first single, a collaboration with ruediga schneider from gawron paris (nordic trax), produced by sascha braemer and dan caster (supdub, berlin). on vocals you will find nick maurer, leadsinger of the american band greenskeepers (om rec, classic). they get massive remix support from sascha braemer (heinrichs & hirtenfellner, stil vor talent, dekadent) and dan caster (supdub, halbacht musik) themselves aswell as lopazz (getphysical, cocoon, compost, kompakt, circle) and his production partner zarook (kompakt, get physical, italic, circle, gumption).

slowly but surely, a constellation of young artists have expanded around ali, basti, philipp santé. in the night, they share the same decks thanks to the newly created souvenir booking entity. during the day, they swap beats and samples in the studio of tiefschwarz located in prenzlauer berg, building up a new creative energy, which is giving birth to the 23rd release of souvenir on vinyl.adam port, re.you and rampa, already had their own shines this year on souvenir. now, its the turn of &me (front room, keinmusik) and fischer & kleber to release a new must-have record permeated with the best groove coming from the german capital city. on the a-side, &me brilliantly hurts with bleed. he punches on the left with an unstoppable drum, weaves on the right with an hypnotic loop, that stirs mental alertness up, barks his anger with a digital whouah going fast and forward and compelling any dancer to incredible footwork. knocked out! robert fischer & niklas kleber had in common an electronic liveact discokonzentrat (high nrising records) and a band spurv laerke before bringing in their new project, fischer & kleber. they set with berki on the flipside the singular but no less enjoyable soundscape of a cathedral under construction. lightening up with deeply felt and almost religious whispers, the shrilling noises of computer-generated machine-tool, the mechanical and cold precision of a pitched down digital rock-drill, the duo turns >berki< into a canticle of the new millennium

rush hour is proud to present a compilation of anthony shake shakirs best work from his own frictional label (and some choice output from 7th city) over the past 15 years. this limited edition 4x12 inch set comes with an exclusive two track 7 inch (only available with this pack). released 2 months in advance of the 3cd/digital formats…
the label shake started brought us some of the deepest, funkiest and most diverse techno of its time and has been surprisingly overlooked by many. after a few years hiatus, shake is now back and will be recording and releasing on frictional again soon.
this compilation includes all of the classics like >arise<, >frictionalized<, >get a feeling<, >my computer is an optimist<, >the floor filler< as well as an unreleased track >the other one<. all tracks have been carefully re-mastered, breathing new life into the original recordings.

its blue, its true, and its got nothing to do with…well… whatever. after the highly successful wph purple release by san soda wph is back with the second release in our coloured vinyl-only series. the series where no digital suckers are allowed , the series where producers actually get to choose the artwork – in this case the colour, the series that digs even deeper than any regular wph release.

in addition to our first artist album on connaisseur “estroe – elemental assets“ we present the first single “le flaneur” with interpretations by kollektiv turmstrasse our weimar homies christian rottler & deer. all 12 remixes will be released as remix album in digital plus a few remix extracts on vinyl. look forward to the next packages with remixes from audiofly, ripperton, steve rachmad, melon, beatpharmacy, joel mull, tedd patterson, patrick chardronnet, roberto rodriguez and nuno dos santos. le flaneur - this vinyl extract contains the original version of the track - a melancholic detroit-pop pearl with the lovely voice of miss kittin on top plus two remixes. the first remix is the mindbending kollektiv turmstrasse wald und wiesenreh mix that shows in an impressive manner that the two rising northern stars developed their trademark sound to even a higher and more grown-up level. with their “stumme apotheker rmx” the infamous duo christian rottler & deer give a lyrical answer to the original, its starts as a rather acoustic guitar tune and slowly morphs into a trippy and charming debaucher.

all the way from new zealand to the urban landscapes of berlin, simon beeston is a man who likes diversity. this is not just evident in his choice of residence, but also in his musical output. following an ep on highgrade digital and a track on our various artists vol. vi record, simon now presents dusty back room, his first solo 12inch release on highgrade. the ep opens with the title track dusty back room, a track of strings and stabs, and a sound not exactly typical of previous highgrade releases. but when the music comes with such compelling energy and provocative atmosphere, were prepared to make an exception. new zealand meets berlin as we cast an eye over green landscapes and ocean swells, while the bumpy groove intoxicicates us with its magic spell. that simon beeston is a man of great contrast is clearly evident on the b-side with neon cringe and cymbolic. the percussive heat of the club brings us back from the organic landscape of his homeland and into the neon lights of the night. neon cringe resonates with a healthy dose of acid pump, while cymbolic provides a bass driven journey complete with cut up vocals and blistering cymbal rolls. this is a release that richly deserves its round number: highgrade number 70. especially with the addition of the bonus digital track tough luck, another highlight all of its own.

> interference< beinhaltet diese mittlerweile 14 jahre alten sessions von bedouin ascent & move d. noch heute klingt diese experimentelle und originelle musik frisch - insbesondere wohl für alle dubstep- liebhaber - war doch diese session in gewisser weise die blaupause für das mixen von mid- und downtempo- breakbeats mit elektronischer musik zwischen ambient, house und psycheledic. vinyl only - no cd, no digital !!

fresh outa detroit comes the first release on beretta music sub label beretta red. a four track compilation featuring respected artists arthur oskan, third ear and kanzleramts dennis desantis, and label head honcho brian kage. bear trax ep vol 1 is a collection of luscious detroit inspired techno jams aimed firmly at the dancefloor. strictly limited to 200 copies, and if thats not enough comes on appropriately enough tasty red vinyl. it also comes with a code to download all tracks free in digital format... which we presume must be for the girlfriends ipod.

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

dutch dj & producer jazper has set a step into a new direction together with jules from romania. jules known for his digital nature alias and jazper known for his trance and progressive productions together with misja helsloot. following their last release on be yourself, they now present pitching pigeon for baroques sister label method... techy rumbling beats & a slick melody, courtesy of the more bells mix... make this a djs must have!

plastique de rêves new single on david carrettas label space factory disques follows up on last years fantastic release on dfa with its summer !!, a perfect techno-pop summer hit with another great feature by vocalist ghostape, and dives further into the realms of electrodisco, synth-pop, and cosmic music. ultra synthetic and light-hearted, yet dreamy and emotional, the three tracks (four on the digital release) each capture with authenticity the essence of electronic disco music but pay tribute to it here in a very original, playful and modern way. its summer !! is a great follow-up to plastique de rêves previous singles on dfa and supersoul recordings, also featuring ghostape on vocals. this time the music goes even deeper into the worlds of synth-pop and electronic disco, with reminiscences of vince clarkes yazoo, giorgio moroder or kelley polar. the sunny, laidback, pop radio atmosphere, together with ghostapes emotional build up of the deliberately simplest lyrics ever written so far, might well keep you smiling, and dancing, all summer.

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.
also played and supported by agnes, butane, ripperton...

sk supreme records is definitely one of the hottest digital labels at the moment. with already more than 30 releases and various #1 chart positions on the most important platforms this label gets regular support by djs like richie hawtin, marco carola, loco dice, mihalis safras, raresh and many more. so it is really time for this superb special vinyl best of edition!

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.

the end of the world is near, only survivors in the city of the future where there is no trace of life, two brothers roam the apocalyptic climate. a war among justice and david guetta has lead to the annihilation of electronic music on earth two years ago ... desert in the city is a call to remind dancefloors of the planet that techno is still the source of the digital world.

ltd repress !! a unique unique and a collectors item! cosmo was commissioned by k7 to remix when the rain from their album inspiration information, yet k7 released her cosmodelic remix as a digital mp3 download only so cosmo got the rights to release it on vinyl. there is also an unreleased reprise version on the b side for those of a dubbier persuasion. lovely, deep summer vibes all round

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

>realtime art< - that s how blackisbeautiful call their electronic music art. an analogue idea within the digital age. inspired by the aesthetics of analogue music devices, the first album of the dortmund-based producer team will be released in september via the upcoming cologne-based techno label 200. blackisbeautiful partnered up at the vrstck club in dortmund two years ago. they bonded through their deep connection to analogue art. residency atvrstck and a musical and friendly collaboration were to follow. both look back at long-term musicianship and life experience. while tim dicke paved his way into the electronic scene through being a drummer, bassist and soloartist in punk and hardcore bands and later on as dj, Ümit han quickly moved from djing to producing his own tracks. in 2006, Ümit won the remix contest to gabriel anandas >glücksmelodie< and also released tracks on karmarouge, meerestief, harthouse and other labels. blackisbeautiful created two tracks in real handicraft with alerion and purpur: mesmerizing and enthralling at the same time! music that invites you to dance and yet puts you to rest for a closer listen. attention to detail and experiment-happiness get you addicted to blackisbeautiful: occasional street recordings of sounds in everyday life and sampling of snap-shots run through their dynamic sound images.

the souvenir family grows this fall with two newcomers, two new remixes and four new essential tracks. please welcome warmly the global vibes of cj jeff, m-in and the remixes of kreon and sante on souvenir021. on the a-side, souvenir celebrates the talented greek electronic scene. c.j. jeff aka nikos safiris gradually built his sound through releases on his own label rythmetic or modern love. he signs a remarkable entry on souvenir with the a-side >got 2 b<. wave your arms! take a breath! a tribe of incredible bongos players is surrounding you, when the vocals of an androgyny shaman start compelling you to a never-ending foot-stomping dance. you are right, where you want to be. damn, it s >got 2 b< a hit. kreon has been raising a fair share of interest lately with appearances on cecille numbers, resopal or robsoul. he signed a dub remix and a perfect spell to push to the party to the early sun shines of the day. back to germany on the b-side! m-in aka marcus ferdinand from frankfurt has spread his talents of producer with releases for off or get digital, and early supports from josh wink, johnny d, thomas schumacher or dj t. again we are talking about deep sensations, haunting vocals and afro rhythms. the tiefschwarz brothers have hammered >capetown river boating< on the road this summer. now its your turn to send a blessing from south africa to your crowd. studio partner of ali and basti, philip sante maier has barely released >dambalaa< last month, that he is already back in production. nobody will complain. his trademark, a clearly percussive approach and a dizzying groove particularly fitted with >capetown river boating<. 2 - 2, we gladly go overtime!

this release has the new single >100 mph< and 3 rad remixes. the original track rocks amped up vocals with a chicago house groove, and the remixes change it up completely. the ac slater remix adds a bit of fidget and steps up the dub, making it awesomely crunchy. ocelot switches it up and stretches the track into a 7 minute journey, adding a bit of a harder edge. finally, free blood takes things in a more digital direction and injects a slightly darker feel to the track. there s something for everyone on this 12 inch and you need to pick it up.

demas is a producer from middle germany. he produces his own tracks since 2004 and had digital releases and remixes on klangscheiben-records and leporelo. his style is very groovy and its between minimalhouse and minimaltechno, we think. >bohnenherbert ep< as vinyl is a limited edition of 300 pieces. so be fast to get your copy! this is also the first remix-release at klangscheiben-records. we ordered some artists, who are known from previous releases. but we ordered also very well known faces to our label. these artists are milos (telegraph recordings, leporelo), phööptärt (9volt) and sebastian albrecht (klangscheiben). we are very pleased to welcome these artists on our label.
