berlin-based artist werner soyeaux under his stage name black davil is a core part of the berlin collective ick mach welle. schnall schnall is his debut solo artist ep on killekill, with own productions accompanied by collaborations with bettina and dj normal 4, alongside remixes by rhyw and gesloten cirkel.

wellen.brecher is an inclusive band that emerged from the killekill’s berlin-based project ick mach welle. it consists of werner soyeaux aka black davil, uwe locati aka dj locati, dave senan aka senator and hanni kusch, a member of the german punk band pisse.

for its tenth anniversary, killekill decided it is worth to resurrect the main label and bring it back in full effect with another compilation of tracks by our beloved family members, favorite artists and bestest friends. cat. number 020 was never released, and we thought, this celebratory occasion was perfect to fill that gap, so everything is cleared, and we can step into the next decade. we start off with a track by mmm, the legendary duo consisting of fiedel and errorsmith, known for pushing the boundaries with every of their very rare releases. this one is an extremely simple, but effective weapon to destroy all dancefloors with its slightly loutish appeal. neil landstrumm got together with brian rays and produced a bleeper hit with catchy vocals. we don t know who the lyrics refer to, but they definitely express a punky fuck-off attitude, which we are missing a lot nowadays.

the raw jacking sexiness of ghetto house has always played a big role in the killekill universe. so its high time to put out our first release which goes that direction. italian andrew soul is an artist we have been watching for a while already. when he sent the demo with the extremely raw and dirty tunes that you find on the a-side of this 12inch, the decision was easy: killer stuff which makes you bounce immediately we want to put this out! the b-side comes from dirtbox, who is also one half of snuff crew and therefore has been part of the killekill family for a while already. actually almost from the start. being the musical wizard he is, he can not only make house and acid music and anything else you could think of, but also class a ghetto house. maybe even more classic than andrew souls side but ranging from the percussive style of smmfd and work that to the raw energy of fukk it is definitely in no way less original. shake dat ass!

killekill house trax is going strong – this time with a 4-tracker by the incredible andreas gehm. he sent us the music shortly before his death and said we could pick any of his artist names and his only condition was that the music was released on vinyl. only after his death we realized that he had obviously already taken a decision then… so we are releasing this record now as an homage to one of the most creative and funniest persons in the electronic universe of the last decade. the ep includes all his typical styles and ranges from hard jacking acid house over weirdo electro house to old school chicago- leaning piano house. a timeless record for all situations. may you rest in peace, andreas, and thanks for still rocking our floors, even when you are long gone!

kht 008 is coming from no less than the man who is called * the prince of techno* by his peers. and that is for a reason: blake was part of the first wave of detroit techno artists and dis and contributed to the techno movement from the mid 80s. tracks like “when a dream becomes u” or “our love” are milestones of electronic music, his style, which he calls “poetry and rhythm” is distinctive. for killekill house trax he delivers the acid life ep which comes along with two strong, acid driven tracks, the a-side darker and more chicago-oriented with its rhythmical focus and the punchy kick, the b-side more detroit-ish with its uplifting chords. timeless!

we are proud to have dug out these two bomb tracks from the 90&#8242,s by manchester legend kid simmons. for some weird reasons these tracks were never released, but here we go now: 2 funky house bombs that will make you bounce and jump like there was no tomorrow. expect more to come from the archives of this man!

dj spider & franklin de costa come along with a massive follow-up of their first single on killekill (cat number 016). second bass on the a-side is a bomb of a track with its jazzy beats, otherworldly strings and a bassline straight out of hell. comsume is even more otherworldly with its stumbling, shuffling beat and a spaced-out vocal sample taken from an unnamed sci-fi movies from the 50s. coffee break, the last track of the ep, is a deadlock groove of heavy beats and freaky breaks, that leaves you lost in time and space.

following eomac’s debut album “spectre” on killekill, released earlier this year, here come remixes of the three most outstanding track sof the album. tommy four seven picked the title track spectre, taking away some of the dense texture of the original, speeding it up a bit and adding some straight-forward percussion to turn the original into a big anthem for the mellow moments on the dancefloor. lars stöwe aka anstam is using his anno stamm-alias to rip the distorted bassline of the grimey su riddim out and add some playful bassline variations and some serious 808 business to it to turn it into a peaktime banger with lots of chicago flavour. and do what they do best and turn shell of dark into a half-tempo stomper that after a while breaks up to a devastating weapon of distorted drums and melodies.

after releases on john osbourne’s label tanstaafl bill youngman once again rips it off for killekill with our catalog number 019.from straight forward, hard hitting techno as in levitate he crosses over to the typical youngman style 2-step/techno hybrid as in magnetic. broken beats and playful me- oldies as in teardrop turns to solid are definitely not new to him, but the combi-nation of these two elements, as we find it here, definitely is. a beautiful masterpiece that works for the lonely hours as well as for the peaktime dancefloors.

our friend affie yusuf delivers the next release for our house imprint.better known as a master of acid house and techno, he shows off with his other side here. with its 4 groovy tunes this record offers anything you can expect from a good house record, may it the subtle groove of rinse & dry, which reminds of the early works of herbert, the ironical drugged out guantanamo rave, the uptempo ferox-like get involved or the funky house fm.

hitsafe are a duo of established producers operating under an enigmatic moniker. nothing new, you might say, and that is true. the music is so outstanding and unusual though, that in this case this approach really does make sense. serious jaw-work is funk in its purest form. and we mean real funk! wonder how many djs will have the guts and abilities to play this one out…to round this release up, we asked lopazz and casio casino for a remix and these guys came up with two! both are so good, we couldnt make a choice. so here we go with both of them on this release. the jack remix on a2 is a functional tech housy Überhit, suitable for all peaktime house floors, the jane remix on the b-side is a moodymanesque version with a strong ludicruous tendency, that has all necessary qualities to become a timeless epic. massive!

here comes the first release lf the outstanding super disco stars hard ton on our label! with a-side track rise up we have the first track with chart potential on our label we d say. we love it anyway! b1 track work that body shows off the heavier jacking side of hard ton and b2 monotone rounds up the ep with its uplifting house chords. not our average cup of tea, but we fckng love it

the two brothers of gebrÜder teichmann have been regular guests at the early killekill events. that is because they have a very similar approach to electronic music as we do. first of all they are deeply in love with the music itself and not the fame, the money or whatever one might expect to get when making music, and second they have a wide musical horizon and interesting perspectives on it, because they are active on several levels, as djs, musicians, promoters etc. first of all though they got class and taste, and so we are happy to present their cooperation with one of our personla heroes and one of the very big names in early house music: johnny dangerous aka foremost poets.

this is part 2 of 3!for most labels catalogue number 10 is an occasion to make something special. and so it is for killekill. we have collected tracks from our regular label artists plus some guests who frequently play at our parties and therefore we consider being part of the killekill family.

kht 002 comes from affie yusuf, a longtime legendary producer from london, who has released tons of tracks solo and in groups on labels such as ferox, force inc and many more. meeting affie yusuf for the first time via internet was like meeting an old friend. a sympathy for the devil was our common sense and after hearing some of his unreleased music it was obvious we needed to get closer. for his first release on killekill he has sent us so many good tracks it was not easy for us to compile the first release. but here we go now with the >i m free ep<, a 12 inch full of house as we like it. raw as shit and full of fun, funk and energy!

killekill herewith announces the start of a sub label focussing the housier side of what we like. killekill house trax starts with the release of a great track by alex cortex. quite uptempo but groovy as hell oh yeah comes along with a strong reminiscence to classic chicago house with its strong bassline and the catchy vocal sample. tyree cooper added a simple but well working piano and packed the original into an even more classic outfit. oh yeah!

spider silk on the a side is a funky stepper of extreme darkness. its epic feel shall make it a hit on all techno, idm and dubstep dancefloors. 8 blip is a short straight tech stumbler with a kick drum as deep it will only be audible on proper soundsys- tems – which is where we want to hear those tracks anyway. litiv is a piece of rare beauty – simply amazing. lakker are a fascinating duo from dublin who have released on several labels and recently got dj support from none other than aphex twin.

hh3 is a techno masterpiece by top notch producer bill youngman. its futuristic and cold. massive dark drones and ambience build up its very unique atmosphere. for their remix of hh3, techno shooting stars sandwell district added some industrial flavor. imagine a steel worm drilling its way into the dancers souls and you almost got it. the last track of the ep entitled trilogy, shows another totally different side of bill: electronica thatís been made to tear your heart apart. wicked!

killekill002 comes from alex cortex solo. the a side track >tackle” is an old school minimalistic loop techno track with a weird bleepy melody inside. made for the late hours on big pas. b1 track >beach bass< is the hit of this record: a deep house number with a bassline that hits your heart immediately and makes you smile and want to dance. a house hit as it should be! b2 >boing boing< is an uncommon, strange electro track that rounds up this ep and shows the wide range of styles that can be expected from this label. alex cortex has been releasing electronic music of all kinds since 1996 on labels like source records, kanzleramt, klang elektronik, pomelo, platzhirsch and many more.

alex cortex and lopazz are bad cop bad cop and they are the perfect artists to open up the new killekill label with this release: widespread, freaky, open minded but whatever style, all tracks are coming with a heavy groove. comes on transparent orange vinyl in a clear sleeve.

das hamburger elektro-duo fallbeil, bestehend aus wosto und kluentah, ist noch ziemlich unbekannt, obwohl sie bereits eine reihe von eps und einige lps auf labels wie mannequin, dem killekill-sublabel boidae oder new york haunted und seit kurzem auch auf ihrem eigenen label teerpappe veröffentlicht haben.

als furfriend 2012 ihren ersten track geck auf der ersten killekill megahits-compilation veröffentlichte, wussten sie kaum, dass sie so viele puplovers finden würden, die nicht genug von ihren schmutzigen geschichten über die dunkle seite des clubbings bekommen konnten.

boyd goosman is back again to delivers an atmospheric, deep and emotive ep, based around a sparse palette of deep synth, warm bass and whispering vocals. the understated beauty of this record will touch every ‘emotive techno’ lovers! the bristol native kamikaze space programme (mote evolver, killekill…) deliver here a fantastic dub techno remix in a massive attack / bristol / future sound of london style. highly recommended! 300 copies limited!

following on from co-ops vol. 1 (counter004), counterchange continues the various artist series with an 8 track, double vinyl edition for its tenth release. joining the dots between a network of producers all pushing boundaries in their respective fields, label curator inland (aka ed davenport) invited boddika (nonplus), cassegrain & tin man (killekill, infrastructure new york), distant echoes (dystopian), pharaoh & yogg (the block tel aviv residents, parallax), patrik skoog (sample & hold, headroom) and bnjmn (tresor, tiercel) to all submit new music.
the result is a heavyweight, diverse trip through modern techno, presented in a hand printed sleeve featuring artwork by carina wittmann, limited to 200 copies.

we had a little pause on our release schedule, but without further delay we present with pleasure the next bomb by our good friend, dj spider! thema 46 was hatched from someone so deeply ingrained in the underground that he barely needs an introduction. from his ra label of the month featured imprint plan b recordings, to his thoroughly played productions on labels such as rekids, killekill and the trilogy tapes, dj spider has been a mainstay on the murkiest, most disorderly dance floors for years. his sound is characterized by disjointed elements lurching around in a off-kilter yet magnetic way that forces you to move in ways you didn t know you could. from the hell scorched, pitch bent echoes of the final revolution to the lo-fi groove antics of distress signal, dj spider proves once again that no one can do it as perfectly weird as he can. text by: nathan levenson

new york’s dj spider returns to rekids with four murky vinyl-only cuts this november. a highly respected label owner, dj spider is well known for helming esteemed imprints like plan b, sub level sounds and btu music. as a producer he has made appearances on the likes of the trilogy tapes, bleed, killekill and vanguard sound!, whilst last year saw him make his debut on rekids. returning to the imprint, the american artist follows dj deep, jon hester and fbk for the fourth outing in the rekids special projects vinyl series. opening with ‘mobius strip revisited’, a squelching bass line and rolling percussive loops underpin ethereal pads and airy atmospheres before an extended keyboard solo plays over inspired chord progressions and a grooved low-end to give ‘antikythera mechanism part 2’ an improvised feel. on the flip we have ‘sub-atomic vibrations’, providing a series of irresistible lead synth melodies and crunchy drum compositions followed by ‘struggles with phantoms’, an unrelenting rhythm section lays the foundation for an evolving mid-range giving the release a stylish close

„umwelt’s 12inch “… city” from 1999 was one of the most impressive 12inches i had at that time and i played the shit out of it. it was dark and very emotional, it was abstract but also driving at the same time. this was 1999 though, before discogs and before facebook and all the other platforms people have now to do research on artists they like and follow their work. at that time it was the record shop – and that was it. nobody knew this guy though, and i didn’t get my hands on any of the following releases, so in my world there was no follow-up to this record ever and i thought it would remain a one-off gem in my record box. until by some coincident i recently discovered he was still around and had actually released numerous releases in the meantime. i was very excited and contacted him straight away and ended up booking him for krake festival in the same year. undoubtedly his set was one of the best of the whole festival! he took the roof off the place with his mix of raw electro, industrial and rave and everybody was talking about it afterwards, saying it was the highlight of the festival! talking to him i learnt, that most of the tracks he played were his own, mostly unreleased. he produces without computers, all his tracks are single takes, there is no editing, no mixing afterwards, he only has a stereo track recording which is what it is. he owns a cutting machine which he uses to cut dubplates from his tracks, which he then plays out during his sets. this whole information about this very unique artistic approach just killed it for me, and since working with him was so nice as well, i asked him for a demo for killekill and its labels and was hoping for tracks i could make a great 12&#8243,, of. i got 14 tracks and after weeks of trying to pick the best, i finally realized i held one of the best electro albums ever in my hand – banging beats and the balls to go big and epic, subtle melodies, drama, funk – this album has got it all, and what’s most important, the music on it is the exact opposite of so much other music nowadays: it is emotional, it tells a story, it is easily recognizable and it is not interchangeable. it’s just umwelt.“ nico deuster

jerome hill is back on his don t label and presents 4 road tested tracks lovely limited grey marbled vinyl in a poly sleeve ! fresh from outings on super rhythm trax, killekill and power vacuum, and following on from april s toy box part one , jerome hill is back to complete the series with part two, presenting four raucous technoid trax in glorious technicolour, striking out and injecting some humour and rowdiness into the techno landscape. -donkey bite- is the one everyone s talking about, borrowing an old vocal sample and updating it into a pleasurably rolling chicago style banger that will appeal to fans of his track -it s time for the-... next up is -slither-, that does what it says on the tin... a creepy and subliminal sludgy bass roller! flip the record for the deranged, banging and distinctly wormy -mr. worm- and then the toy box saga finishes up as unconventionally as it began, with the lop sided lumber of -torque talk-. available on lovely grey marbled vinyl.

vanta 004 comes from alex cortex, an artist who has been producing music for over 20 years now and who has been featured on many killekill releases already. for this release he delivers two monumental tracks in his very own aesthetics: although both tracks are straight at first sight, their complex beat structure makes them shift and drift. and also their sound is distinctive: crystal clear and without any of the reverbs that you hear so often in modern techno they still have an incredible depth and sound more psychedelic than most of the other stuff that you hear nowadays. killer!

jerome hill is back on his don t label and presents 4 road tested tracks lovely limited blue marbled vinyl in a poly sleeve ! fresh from outings on super rhythm trax, killekill and power vacuum, jerome hill is back on his don t label and presents 4 road tested tracks - each totally different from the last but with the common goal of striking out and injecting colour, fun and a good measure of -don t- rowdiness into the techno landscape. -egg roll- is a slamming broken beat techno monster that has been extensively tested out in the field, -scez princess- combines hardcore breaks with waspish synth riffs while over on the flip -i know- hits hard with no messing around. the ep is finished off with the lumbering, stunted funk of -mono skank-. available on lovely blue marbled vinyl.
