gabriel ananda was captivated by the sound of classical music by the early age of 8. he was encouraged by his family to practice the cello, but it was through playing the guitar that fueled his motivation to continue to learn about music. the guitar became a useful tool to express his creativity, but gabriel was not finished searching for his musical direction. in 1995 that changed. a dj set by sven väth was the pivotal moment that ended gabriels search to find his passion and two years later, the new producer celebrated his first release for the german label hörspielmusik. he went on to release singles on treibstoff, trapez, platzhirsch, and karmarouge before producing what was for him, a life changing track

two huge remixes by gabriel ananda and dan drastic on this smoking hot society 3.0 release.

last summer hey blop (live series vol ii) was the hymn that burned down dancefloors all over the world. gabriel ananda continues his live series (here vol. iii) and delivers 2 more sophisticated techno-tracks with diabolic methods.

taking us deeper into the night are the four remixes: london veteran seiji fuses house and garage for a 6 minute roller, dfas juan maclean delves into his deep house roots with his new peach melba project, london duo compound one pay homage to gabriels uk garage roots with sweet old school 2 step and hyperdubs ossie turns in a decidedly trippy uk funky hybrid.

joe goddard is surely one of the busiest men in the world of electronic music: writer and producer behind the world-conquering hot chip, acclaimed solo artist, travelsome dj, prolific remixer, one half of the emerging 2 bears house duo and one of the founding members of the greco-roman record label and party collective. goddards first solo material in 18 months should open with a chorus of angels, before title track >gabriel< strides confidently into familiar territory of londons clubland and its rich musical influences, this time goddard choosing gospel and house as his parameters to create a bone fide underground radio and club hit which currently sits on the bbc radio 1 playlist.

no time to rest, here is anandas next on basmati. like his smash single >doppelwhipper< the present tracks for his >live series< were performed live on stage. >hey blop< is a perfect and very playable summertrack while >give me five< shows how percussions should be looped into great techno.

we are proud to present solee (owner of parquet recordings) who has crafted a pick time tech, yet melodic bomb for our 20th dieb audio release.

do you remember the ananda vs. mehlhart track released on gabriels label basmati last year ? this is the second half time so to say. teams on the pitch: frankfurt and cologne kick off

parallel to the release of his album >selected works techno< ananda starts on basmati his live series. published here are the tracks which have been established on the floors during his recent live sets. the tracks hold almost forgotten practice to deceive an audience: occasional imprecision is a stylistic device, the post production was skipped, unpolished rough edges remain. live series vol.1 is coming with the tracks >alpha< and >smash<. this year at least 3 more releases of this series will appear on basmati.

danny howells returns with a new series on dig depper, featuring tracks by alex dolby & giorgio, benny rodrigues and danny howells. remixes coming from deetron and russ gabriel.

wir freuen uns das neue jahr mit ihm beginnen zu können. nach seiner sagenhaften single coconut blues istgabriel ananda zurück auf treibstoff! der titeltrack love attack hat die für ananda typisch erdigen grooves. streicher bereiten den weg zu einer organisch anmutenden bassline und nehmen uns mit auf einen emotionalen glückstrip. open up ist ein sehr trickreiches stück techno und entwickelt einen unfassbaren sog, der den raum zu einem vakuum werden lässt. für den remix von open up hat sich treibstoff den stuttgarter till krüger beim befreundeten label 200 records ausgeliehen. mit seiner version wählte er diesmal nicht seinen schnellen detroit-sound, sondern lässt die original-sounds in einem gewand erscheinen, daß mit seinen dubs an die legendären gas platten von wolfgang voigt erinnert.

the 1st single off the album of the same name features chicagos diz on vocals and an amazing cast of remixers that include russ gabriel & his smooth deep version and jt donaldson doin his thing. heavy support from mark farina, alex from tokyo, doc martin, etc. bumpin house at its best!

after a very brief lull in activity over the latter part of the summer, we re very excited to be back up and running and present a fantastic new collection of songs from one of our favorite producers, the esteemed russ gabriel. having long been a pioneering producer, dj and live act as well as a hugely respected studio producer, russ has returned to the dieb audio fold and graced us with 4 exceptional new works.
the >knossos< ep, as the collection is known, showcases a diverse palette on russ part, ranging from visceral, heads-down dancefloor material, to intelligent, emotive house productions, in a polished, thorough manner, that defines his work. fans of his sound will instantly grasp his simple, effortless style of fusing together elements and creating classy, functional arrangements. one thing is always guaranteed and delivered with russ: quality.

in fact, its not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. but sometimes, you-re even too modest to stay away. so, whats it all about? well, the music, of course. and only the music. organic stuff, so to speak. tracks made by pure immersion. no plans, no blueprints. just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno. here is gabriels new 4-tracker. inhale.

now techno has its own fair trade. basmati, the new label by gabriel ananda (artist direction) and marcel janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging. epic tracks are rarely seen in such a light-footed mood: gabriel ananda shakes his hairdo again, this time in cooperation with floor hope daniel mehlhart and the pioneers from superstitions quazar. the results are two genre-bending tracks, whose friendliness makes them look like 10 minute long wolves in sheeps clothing. pinpoint funk with panoramic view, coming from true masters of all classes.

the next great release on herzblut comes again from nicolas masseyeff. this time he teams up with jr c, who delivers dark vocals to this tech-house journey. and the package gets even better. the a-side is reserved for the original version of the dance floor treasure, while on the flip side, you can find oxias housy interpretation of the track and anandas groovy touch.stephan bodzin, oxia, gabriel ananda, karotte, darko esser and many more.

self defence proudly returns with our second release, with oldschool veteran russ gabriel. hes been releasing techno tracks since 1993, and has established a morethan- solid reputation through releases on his own liss, hampshire-based ferox (until 2000) and more recent sestra labels, as well as on carl craigs planet-e, peacefrog records, force-inc, soma recordings, mobilee records, and others. with ears wide open to techno pouring out of detroit, the netherlands, and elsewhere, gabriels done the global circuit as a dj and has laid down roots in detroit, london, and germany. the three-track novowooks ep finds him showcasing his ample talents on the sdf labels sophomore release

adryan delivers 2 tracks of glossy, polished beats and melodies that are characteristic of his sound, fusing funky beats and shimmering chord stabs with cool, swishing rides and hooky, cool jazz basslines.

we are delighted to welcome the mighty russ gabriel to ever expanding dieb family and have him contribute this excellent 3 track ep to our catalogue. fans of russ sound as well as the uninitiated will not be disappointed here as there is a very wide stylistic audio palette on display here-yet still retaining russ quintessential production aesthetic and quality.
ranging from the epic, old school >returning home< with its haunting pad and melodious bass arpeggios to the stripped back chugging tech house workout of >push it along< and the futuristic, techno-infused >narita express< with its modulating stabs and catchy, repetitive bassline it is easy to see why russ is and has always been considered a unique and exciting music visionary equally capable of creating harmonic, atmospheric soundscapes or high energy, functional beats aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
whatever your preference, this package is sure to satisfy even the most discerning ear or demanding club crowd! enjoy!

daniel mehlhart is an aficionado. that would explain the cosy buzz emblazoning his >coming close<. the deep bass adept prepares some tasty meal here, just like an accomplished cook, pecking only the best ingredients for his versatile tracks. two soulflul clappers are the radiant result, featuring tenderly restored sequences and carefully tailored samplework. gabriel ananda shows off impeccable taste by firing up the robot beatbox for his remix, tuckpointing the sounds so well, that one might want to rub his ears due to so much rapture. three masterbuilders ftw

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers
