spiel(z)immer developed close ties between electronic music and contemporary art. creative projects and extraordinary ideas are our strength. the music is playful, infatuated and versatile. we belong to the alternative electronic music, which reflects the diversity of the scene. created from pure gut feeling on a sunday morning.

your dancing shoes arent smoking enough yet?! well then you can now apply some extra yards with the traumtanzen bonus miles edition to get rewarded by raumakustik and einsauszwei (ellie the cat / thirty5 records).

the first reference of subsequent records ltd on vinyl format, by the owner luis ruiz, promoter of the old school techno sound of the new millennium. the ep contains 4 tracks strictly analog, based on tr-909, thought on the dance-floor. the techno in all the forms, through euphoric style, dark and melodic structures of detroit techno.

for more than 10 years,philip bader has been mixing it up in the berlin electronic muisic scene as a producer, dj and label founder – no wonder then that his first studio album,wishful thinking,to be released on berlin label highgrade records, is such an eagerly awaited piece of work.philip, a native of the capital city, has taken a year to complete this debut long player that seemlessly juggles a wide range of musical styles.

last year’s ‘the age of compassion’ by chicago underground house don tevo howard was one of the standout tracks for buzzin’ fly in 2011with widespread dj and media support. it joined his burgeoning body of work on other acclaimed labels such as rush hour and his own beautiful granville. now tevo returns with his follow-up for buzzin’ fly. if ‘the age of compassion’ was a simple and elegant dancefloor bump wrapped in warm analogue melancholia, then the ‘monument ep’ is its nemesis - a stark future-retro reinterpretation of the origins of house music build from the bare components of machines: raw drums, sub bass, sine waves, square waves and oscillators. and yet there is still a burnished beauty to this ep. all three tracks seems to find echoes of each other in their arrangements and brittle harmony. machine music for the modern age edged with passion and feeling, and another fresh step for its producer.

michael kiwanukas debut album is finally available - a longplayer well worth waiting for!

fine garage / uk funky... including actress & girl unit remixes on the flipside

in the last couple of months the names taiki & nulight should have come across your paths. these 2 artists have been gaining respect from the likes of skream, benga, n-type, mistajam (and many more) and are set to blow up any time now. and because subway likes their beats fresh and new they are kicking off with these boys their very first release entitled the coming up ep. coming up is a 100 procent to the floor slammer wich sees the dubstep sound merging into more clubby territories. the 4x4 beat and soca influences make this track a unique piece of work that not alot of people can resist. get on this and get those ladies shaking their rear ends because once they start a skanking the men will follow. pure takes it back to the dubstep vibe we all know and love. a hefty skanker that will deplete any raver from any energy it has left. tearout basslines and insane switches make this one track that will destroy any dance! impulse is one of t&ns early productions but is not a letter track for that matter.its a mean destructive stomper that shows why these guys have been picked so early on by the subway label. it pounds,it shakes, it rattles & it wobbles. a deadly combination!watch out for more t&n releases coming up really soon on subway and labels like benga beats, sin city to name a few! play support comes from: skream, benga, n-type, walsh, mistajam, antiserum, unitz, dream, laxx, megalodon & tonnes of others!

10 track album of re-edits from the turkish super producer who has released 12 inches on gamm, square, plimsoll and others. a kickass mix of disco, funk & jazz tracks from gloria gaynor, stanley turrentine, don costa, quincy jones and more. double 180g vinyl in color sleeve.

nice price deal !!! three nations, one record: japan, italy and germany come together on the first snuff trax in 2012. our friend humandrone from tokyo already gave us a wonderful piece of music for the snuff trax for japan benefit compilation last year. now we welcome him on snuff trax with an own ep. his tracks my racoon and paranoia will make your body movin for sure. my racoon also got a beautiful melodic remix treatment by our italian brother nick anthony simoncino (known from mathematics, skylax, hotmix) as nick anthony. and on the flipside the minister (you know him from creme jak ) delivers a super-dark version of paranoia. enjoy

lukes angers ace new dinked 7 inch label returns with part.3 for 2012 ! comes on slinky clear vinyl in a clear poly bag. super limited copies for distro, restrictions may apply . >duke slammer is, if you might wonder, luke’s anger in tight lycra pants who is suddenly making something between boogie and skweee. heavily infected with the purple and the disco funk vibe this sweetness is funky as hell!< (lowriders blog).. these records make their intentions clear from the outset, raw swung-out drum machine beats and squelchy moog basslines combine with sleazy pads and wiggly worm lead synths, all the necessary elements for a tasty funk formula! immediate comparisons have been drawn with early 80s synth-funk stars such as parliament, george clinton and zapp, as well as new school disco producers from dam-funk to space dimension controller. all tracks were created on the teenage engineering op-1 and uploaded straight from the synth direct to the mastering house, boom

joel boychuk aka hobo takes us on a tour of the iron triangle this winter, when the canadian producer releases his debut album on minus - a destination point for the techno artist whose very name embodies both the restless spirit of his productions and his journey from being one half of the former minus duo tractile, to being a recognized star performer in his own right.

fukkk offfs bastian heerhorst and dirty disco youths phil speiser team up to drop a bomb on coco machete records and the world at large. with two equally devistating tracks the nuclear war disaster ep delivers on its promise of total devistation. both tracks attack, drive, squelch and pound in ways only these two artists can only to be released by an overture worthy enough to ride with the valkyries. i think its time to head to the shelter!

nice price deal !!!

the moustached disco avengers at sccucci manucci drop their latest missive, featuring more transmissions from the disco underground. argentinean based toomy disco provides >what goes around<, a tightly produced disco-house number with horn snippets woven around low-slung grooves, whilst the glue deliver >without you< a hazy slo-mo looper with vocal teases and hypnotic guitar licks. on the flip, south west seven lock themselves into a fast moving groove with >what have i got to do<, a track that contrasts its fast rhythmic pulse with vocals and guitars that slowly emerge from the filtered ether. aeromaschine close proceedings with >deep champagne<, combining a deep and melodic bassline with improvisational touches and glitchy vocal stutters, it successfully forges its own sound whilst keeping in line with his disco counterparts.

killer! lost and found? we dont know anyway sounds great... never released ... raw as hell techno stomper by emmanuel top. no more words necessary.

something of a departure into uncharted territory for ostgut ton on the fiftieth single release of the label. following berghains hugely sucessful art exhibition alle which showcased the many visual artists among the members of staff at berghain/panorama bar, ostgut ton shows they cannot be pinned down easily to one genre by offering their anniversary release to two artists of the extended ostgut family who normally wouldnt be associated with what you might have come to expect from the label. shambhu the undisputed queen of the berghain bar ladies (she regulary holds court every saturday upstairs at her very own gitter bar) and rummelsnuff the germanic hulk of the berghain/laboratory bouncers come up with enchanting and surprising results. the release comes pressed as a 7 inch (a first for the label and limited to 500 hand-numered copies) and each side is given to one of the two artists.

already supported by m.a.n.d.y., audiofly, catz n dogz, franck roger, luna city express and many more!
