the mysterious zohar – nobody knows who he is, but what we do know is that his music is truly remarkable. we first took notice of him for his great records on the equally fantastic label quintessentials. his love for philly soul samples is one of the reasons why he is such a perfect match for tenderpark since we are big philly lovers ourselves. brooklyn 9.30 am and dog day are full of wonderful soul references and so is the drei farben house edit of brooklyn. another deep quality outing from tenderpark. supported by alex agore, roman rauch, ivano tetelepta, skipson, borrowed identity, adryiano, ynk

k skip skipson has built himself quite a fan base with his funky releases as (knarf) skipson on quintessentials and other labels. the young man from berlin is deeply infuenced by hip hop – both in terms of production techniques (he uses an mpc as his main instrument) as well as aesthetically. for maria colors he comes up with four massive house tracks full of hip hop and soul samples which make you wonder, can it get any deeper than this?! funky as hell and extremely soulful – thats what makes these tracks from skipson so special – and at the same time theyre a wonderful way to celebrate the labels first birthday.

foul & sunk, the swiss-german house-imprint based in freiburg and zurich, rings the bells for round 4 with the eriswil ep by jagged, a spunky release that blushes your cheeks like a strong sip of bernese apple brandy. and bern is the code word that sheds light on the origin of jagged: behind the name hide three veterans of the swiss house music scene - the djs and producers benfay, jay sanders and zukie173, who emerge from the vicinity of the now discontinued freestyle label a few among others, whose founder was zukie173. as jagged, they are releasing house music built upon hard-hitting drums, sinister bass lines and soul-drenched instrumentation for over four years by now. they debuted on quintessentials with hello kool nice in 2008, and didnt lose their gritty energy since then. now, theyre back on foul & sunk with eriswil, a deep rolling, dark monster that also gets a remix-treatment by the abstract eye

after he caught our attention several times with a string of releases on such labels as quintessentials for example, we are very happy to introduce skipson as a new artist on our label. his influences can be found somewhere between labels like classic or music for freaks for example. these influences combined with a great passion for detroit house from the likes of kdj or andres create the very own skipson sound that we like so much and that always shows his ability to add something unique to his productions.

limited to 350 collector copies !!! with the sixt release, which is the third of the mini sampler series, enterbt delivers a record created for your vinyl deck, the dance-floor and the serious music collector. the opener on this ep is the first contribution from topdeal music feat. alessandro felline (produced by topdeal music aka eugenio chiais). the track named >completely in tune< consists of smooth vocals and huge synths evolving into an amazing deep atmosphere full of mediterranean soul. the second track on this release >kairo< is produced by jagged, an already known trio from the swiss capital bern. jagged previously released their tracks on labels like >quintessentials<, >a few among other< or >bonzzaj<. the sound of this track spins around two different moods with the use of very raw and deep, hypnotic synth-lines. just lets get jagged! the flip side of this mini sampler continues with the track >last day< of our man from barcelona dario damerini. full analog power here! (plays inside-out) the fourth and last track of this ep >what can u do for me< is produced by cco. he is a member of >wave test< and is well known for his mathematics releases (plays inside-out). limited to 350 collector copys! b – side plays inside-out!

after his highly inspiring releases on detroits mathematicsa, quintessentials (uk) and yore (germany), marcello napoletano is back with another adventure into house music. again his unique way of keeping a detroit / chicago sound freshly alive comes neither from the beloved ghost town nor from windy city - marcello napoletanos source of deep madness is based in lecce, a small countrysided village in italy. from here he spreads his deepness all over the world, representing the 8th outstanding issue of laid records.

after their great debut >motzbaz / indeed< on afao recordings and the following 12inches >hello kool nice< and <langenthal ep< on quintessentials recordings, which found its way into the bags and charts of djs like quarion, laurent garnier, jimpster and many more, jagged strikes back with a 12 on bonzzaj recordings. this single also contains a hot remix by the dutch multi-talented man aardvarck, one half of the rednose district. jaggeds productions are restrained and minimal in the right way - they doesnt let things get overloaded. they focuses mainly on straight beats and functional house music but always with the right ingredient of soul and rawness. the title track ten to twelve is a heavy cut with a lot of disco influences, funky basslines, cool house-grooves and surprising changes all over the track. the remix of ten to twelve comes from aardvarck, who releases on rushhour, kindred spirits and delsin. he transformed the original in an broken beat stomper, which sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co-op. the b-side contains chicago, a deep house number with forward going percussions, warm strings, oldscool-house-vocals and a slight acid flavour and last but not least the track an orange drippin, which takes you with its deep synth, percussions, basslines, bells and things in the deeper shades of…jagged nation. hot shit gesundheit

the 3 jagged guys come from a different background, but they all love and live quality music for many years already! so the best time they have cooking things up in their studio – and as a result, it sounds like >hello kool nice<. analogue equipment plus the mpc, thats the sound of jagged and quintessentials 02: organic, raw and real! the remixes courtesy of colognes harry swinger & dc (rushhour) with an old school deephouse edit and man of the moment quarion (drumpoet community) with a great summerish uplifting rework are pure dope too. essential
