2018 has been a big year for dope ammo so far, what with the smash refix of -wishin on a star-, countless collaborations with a whole host of talents artists and fitting in a tour of europe. it comes as no surprise that it s now time to unleash a heavy hitting album in the form of -influence-. this isn t strictly a drum and bass affair either and with styles perfectly crossing in and out of each other, it s a true representation of dope ammo s creative production flair.

cedric k gasaida aka starving yet full (singer of former canadian band azari & iii) and victor karzalov (half of russian duo bypass), are about to release their first vinyl ep, drawn 2 u, under the moniker blent, on newly launched french label empirical magnetism

dop is welcomed back on circus company with a three track heater of an ep with a night in sausalito, and there is no way of taming this one. this time, the trio get slapped on wax with a 12inch that is pitted straight for the dancefloor. deetron comes through with some classy dub work on the remix. kicking things off with their headline track, a night in sausalito, the trio combine their signature and intricate synth work with a mixture of lo-fi hums and percussive flares until jaw fills the mix and takes the track away. rolling on a2 with ischia, the trio drop a straight up meaty drum pattern with a haunting range of vocal licks and delicate synth grooves. on the flipside, deetron strips back the vocals and lays a solid housey dub that purs, intensifies and releases in all the right places.

probably the biggest ylotana music and sex of insects release so far. fantastic remixes from dop, sailor & i and anatoly ylotana included.

its a long time since we last heard from dop. the boys have been far from quiet, continuing to tour and enchant party people across the world with their infectious fusion of house music and refined songwriting. theyve equally been no strangers to the studio, with their les fils du calvaire project releasing the recent rester avec toi collaboration with miss kittin in preparation for the debut album of the project later this year

wtm038 is definitely an outstanding release, something between house and real love to technoid sounds. the long a side comes with a classical intro and turns into a p erfect groovy but still monumental house track. the b starts with the track * call me a cap* and is the third collaboration with dop . great melodic atmospheric sounds with a perfect arrangement between vocals and all the typical addicted masomenos style. the second one on the b side has a featuring with tobi neumann who releases also his third ep with the french duo. * pushpush* is more trippy with a great step sequencer arrangement. all together, great release again from masomenos and this will be a special one which you surely wont forget

the protagonists of our next release literally fit to the mediums color: we are happy to announce tiefschwarzs first appearance on our label which is carved in black rills, three years after they mixed the watergate 09 compilation for us.

the unique and barnstorming trio from paris dop are back on the home turf of circus company with killer new single close up including remixes from catz n dogz, san proper. combining a dynamic groove with jaw’s unmistakable sultry drawl and a dreamy soundscape of deep chords and warm pads, the original mix is an addictive slice of vivid vocal house.

incl dop & masomenos remix

dop, the group of wandering minstrels that embody the very essence of circus company, have returned home with new tales to impart from their travels away. indeed the insatiable touring appetite of this trio of mariachis finds them often afar at sea, spreading their message and encountering strangers in strange lands. as such, the first side of this new ep bears the fruit of a sizzling barbeque and a raucous karaoke session held in the distant shores of san francisco, home to a talented gang of artists known as pillow talk.

lcd soundsystem, esg, stephin merritt (the magnetic fields), peaches und debbie harry (blondie) - eine so illustre gästeliste kann wohl franz ferdinand vorweisen. die oben genannten künstler wurden vom schottischen quartett überredet, für die covers ep, welche bereits erschienen ist, ihre songs zu covern. die beeindruckenden ergebnisse reichen von postpunk bis hin zu krawall-elektro und sind äußerst hörenswert! jetzt setzen wir noch mal einen drauf. zwei der coverversionen wurden nun vom pariser trio dop und von brennan green geremixed und erscheinen jetzt auf dieser 12inch!

after some time spent entertaining from distant lands, the circus company brings it all back home with a release purposefully written to pay tribute to the breeding ground for their unique strain of house music, paris. seuil stands proud as one of her most cherished creations, a man ever evolving as an artist from the structure and function of minimalist dancefloor music through to the esoteric expression and ambience of jazz, channelling that same swinging spirit that has characterised much of the work on circus company. the release of his -chamaeleonidae- album proved to the world that there was a strange musical spirit in seuil that manifested itself in live drums and languid keys, character traits you could associate with his fellow parisians dop. the collaborations between them have been many in recent years, and once again they come together to both complement and test each others styles in a surprising vision of what pop music could sound like if crafted with soul and imagination. the beats stay tight and steady throughout the three tracks that make up -fluctuat nec mergitur-, driving a foggy brew of strings, synths and drones into a commanding groove. meanwhile the composition gently rises and falls on waves of melody, as particular harmonies swell in to carry you away to a very blue kind of euphoria. such drama and passion captures the essence of both seuil and his beloved city in one heady brew of dancefloor excellence.

the connaisseur family welcomes its youngest member: ava myra flitsch. the daughter of hilary and alex flitsch was born november 15th, 2011 and both the parents and good friends of the label celebrate this miracle with this release. all participating artists were asked to produce a very personal piece of music. the style was left up to the artists, resulting in a beautifully mixed batch of great tracks. the intro track hello! by dop & masomenos features a little vocal snippet as a salutation by masomenos adriens son and it is an atmospheric, soundscapish and beatless tool.

alland byallo gained global attention producing for definitive labels like poker flat and liebedetail, hosting san francisco s legendary kontrol party and performing at world-famous venues like berlin s panoramabar and watergate, and detroit s annual demf, byallo looks forward to showcasing his more private side through bad animal, expect more organic productions, vocals and raw emotion.
the label s intimate feel is realized in the title track of its inaugural release, >thirsty eyes< an evocative song about a pained, passive aggressive young woman who is oblivious of her own condition. built upon a sinister bass line and raw, soul-drenched vocal, this lo-fi tune builds to an eerie yet frenzied crescendo then explodes into a percussive workout perfect for peak time. remixes from the wildly in-demand techno trio dop. dop drops a spacey, acid-laced, psychedelic monster. finally >open windows< byallo s other original piece, pays homage to the past with a look towards the future, this bass-heavy techno/house tune opens with an old-school build-up then chugs along accented by an ethereal vocal and energetic stabs designed to get the dance floor moving.

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

the enigmatic french trio dop unleash another sonic assault of deep and visceral house music on guy gerbers supplement facts imprint with three bold and organic cuts for your sex. a dark broody and characteristically cheeky affair, your sex opens up this dop creation with a stripped back beat and looped vocal. low-end bass build up the title track to a crescendo that engulfs the senses in deep acid frequencies. this is a nod to the techno elite but fusing a new depth and sensuality to the genre, in true dop style. skipping into subtle and kinetic territory, half naked flirts with reverberating whispered vocals and crisp percussive beats. a lethargic and almost yearning record, it massages the energies of the body with a playful and soothing approach. last up paul ritch tackles a remix of the title track, elevating those throbbing bass elements to new levels with a fluttering and-high energy weapon made to hypnotise the feet, body and mind. dopis the musical summation of a 20 year long friendship between members clement aichelbaum, damien vandesande and jonathan illel, their musical relationship beginning in 1994 as the result of a rock & roll cover band formed for the french national day of music, experimenting in hip-hop, jazz, and reggae followed by various musical incarnations. in 2005 they made the transition into electronic music and last year delivered a highly regarded debut artist album on circus company, noted in the guardian newspaper as steeped not in orthodox 4/4 house and techno, but in jazz, classical, hip-hop and world music

a freaky french battle: masomenos meets dop... have fun

vinyl only. auf matrosen, ole! renate schallplatten kicks off with a great ep of wareika with remixes by dop and acid pauli. wareikas original is a remake of an old german sailor song which is perfectly >interpretiert< by the three guys from hamburg. acid paulis mountain girl remix has a more cluby appeal but still keeps the vibe of the original. the crazy boys of dop totally flip all parts of the original into a new wave-eurodance-timetravel journey. early support and heavy plays by justin bieber, lady gaga, jack sparrow and all other big balled mainplayers of the westfalen tekkno scene

after some collaboration on circus company and for the watergate compilation, seuil & dop get together on the mothership >prostitute<, the story about this guy who fell in love with a whore. made up of seuils dripped grooves and dops incest harmonies. on the flip the outstanding visionquest team, ryan, lee & seth revisited it from salacious irony to unenviable reality.

support from oxia, rodriguez jr, radioslave, josh wink, dj koze, laurent garnier, seth troxler, joris vorn, jennifer cardini, dixon, claude vonstroke... two friends who have known each other for many years, who have often shared the same stage and recently enlightened our summer workshops at la carrière, who trade deeply-felt lyrics and singing for singular and refined productions and who delivered infinés finest electronic rhymes. after >silently<, clara called mimu again for >deer & fox<, the vocal pop wonder of >polyamour<. this fall infiné has invited forward-thinking remixers to work on clara s stems for four new opportunities to play the track. deep and introspective, the troublemakers of dop have kept the classy original textures, slowed down cleverly the bpm to carrying mimus voice into a bubble of euphoric bleeps. pampered by derrick may, juan atkins or kevin saunderson, stacey pullen offers the clubbers a one-way ticket into his time machine. right back at the heydays of the detroit second generation. terribly old school and consequently incredibly efficient on the floors. widely praised for their recent intrusions on the very respected karaoke kalk label, tolouse low trax on top having a profound liking puns, have turned >deer & fox< into a dizzying after party chorus, adding their own dark and hypnotic sound pallet. offered as digital extension but no less essential to the package, austrian producer ritornell aka richard eigner brings celestial violins and heavenly piano for a shining and delicate rework, which could almost let you forget the original.
