der erste schritt zum produzieren ist nicht leicht. es ist fast so wie in einer blaskapelle ohne kapellmeister. alles scheint durcheinander und unstrukturiert, doch zum glück stellt bebetta mit ihrem debüt - track -herr kapellmeister- die klarheit und ordnung wieder her! an ihrer seite musizieren die labelkollegen beatamines und glanz & ledwa sowie serwo schamutzki & kosta aldente. genießt diese tolle komposition!

we are happy to announce xdb on echocord dj/producer xdb aka kosta athanassiadis has been djing since the early nineties but its in the last few years that his abilities as a producer have come to fore both through his recordings for labels such as detroits sistrum and francois ks wave music, remixes for norm talley, conforce and patrice scott to name a few, along with the releases on his own metrolux label which he founded in 2006. lately, kosta athanassiadis is garnering the overdue attention of popular writers and fellow musicians. throughout his growing popularity, xdb has kept his identity nearly silent, allowing his music to be unpolluted by preconceived notions that comes with branding ones image. less is more, he suggests, applying the advice to inspiring and established artists. in the end, it was this tactic – of letting the music speak for itself – that cultivated the respect and trust of his fans. recent 2011 releases are his bakfom ep on harbour city sorrow and now followed by the apari ep on echocord. two powerfull dubby tracks by xdb + a fantastic remix by sven weisemann

harbour city sorrow will showcase different sides of techno. after exploring the electro side of things we now go more towards the deeper housey side of techno. xdb (kosta athanassiadis, metrolux, sistrum) is walking on the border of various styles, creating his own unique blend of techno and house.. youll find 3 tracks of his hybrid style on here. deep sound layers and almost jackin rhythms. well crafted raw analog tracks that will appeal to the club jocks as well as the more adventurous deejay and home listener. music that is not fitting to just one main category.. just how we like it.

beautycase back on the scene with this nice 3 tracker directly from the norwegian north by tetsuo the original is a spaced out electro disco groover remixes come from kosta gitane and napsugar
