fantastic limited handmade artwork 12inch vinyl ... 100% quality stuff, for fans of giegling

hug bomb deep house tracks on these lovely 10inch vinyl.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

third outing from terpsiton imprint, made by dionne aka just von ahlefeld (smallpeople), backed up with a remix by christopher rau (smallville / giegling).

it has been the sweetness and warmth of the city of hamburg, its delightful venues such as the golden pudel club and smallville parties at ego that made him diving into deepest music. after >ne travaillez jamais< became the favorite track of all smallville and dial djs and rau played on one of those magic nights the idea of an album was born. the plan was as simple and lovely as the music on asper clouds is. here comes the sun.

due to their stunning releases on underground quality and laid the smallpeople aka julius steinhoff and dionne are back with a real smasher. this time they catched up christopher rau who will be releasing his debut album on smallville very soon. the results of the dreamteam’s jamsessions are gorgeous: two never to stop tunes which will light up the dancefloor with unforgetable hooklines. representing the smallville parties in hamburg, berlin, paris and tokyo the test pressings of this double a-side already created pure magic. meadows is reduced to the essential, produced to the max - a track on point, the way deeper life aquatic is none the less delightful. wont leave your box forever.

stripped down basement techno tracks on the giegling sub label staub. two tracks with a touch of that post basic channel sound with a gentle steady groove.

bon & rau are rainy citys newcomer jacques bon and christopher rau. jacques is originally from paris and takes care of the smallville recordstore in la cité d amour. he fell in love with hamburg though when he first came there and calls st. pauli a home since a little while now. while hanging at smallville record store in hamburg, he met christopher rau, who blew away the whole smallville crew with his > ne travaillez jamais< on dérive records in 2008 and had his smallville debut with >childhood< on smallville 16. the youngsters teamed up as bon & rau and we are proud to present the 12inch debut of another smallville dreamteam. cloverleaf days was already presented on the smallvilles label compilation cd -and suddenly its morning-, that gained huge reputation last year- but it more than deserved an appearance on 12inch now. a reduced groove that takes you to somewhere unsearchable. the b-side presents two versions of brothers & sisters- a modern house-anthem that twists into your ears with a subtle melody. the poodle dub on b2 rounds up a perfect 12inch with a tribute to hamburgs finest golden pudel club. three tracks that can definitely make the moment on the dancefloor.

almost one year after the first release derive schallplatten releases the second record. thats quite a long time. but however, haste makes waste and even more when its about some passionate drifters!

due to the long awaited cd compilation release and suddenly its morning smallville comes up with a third 12inch issue. the labels darling sven tasnadi, also known from his releases on ornaments, poker flat, cargo, oh!yeah! and liebe*detail, lightens up the dancefloor with a bright sparkling groover- new villalobosish moves with a deep emotional fill on the a-side. on the flipside we welcome the highly talented newcomer christopher rau to the smallville label-roster. christopher is a friend who hangs out at smallville record store in hamburg a lot. with friends he runs the hamburg/ munich based label dérive and delighted us and everyone with his ne travaillez jamais track earlier this year. for his debut on smallville christopher creates a reduced seductive track, subtly growing to total sweetness on the floor. and suddenly its morning… a w&p by sven tasnadi b w&p by christopher rau

support by djinxx, jichael mackson, tobias becker, pelle buys, rulers of the deep, dave mothersole, laurent garnier, leandro gamez, james talk… gedankensport signed a new amazing artist for you. with his sense for minimal techno and house arrangements he bursts every brain, because he will start the real sport of thoughts in your mind. christopher rau, who came in contact with electronic dance music in 2004, produced three poetic minimal housetracks reduced to some kind of essential form of electronic music. a: gribuntal: this track is pure minimalism. based on this monotone organ chord that seems to make you insane during the nearly eleven minutes, there is kind of tropical feeling, too. the easy tribal percussions put this track in warm, windy and relaxed beach surrounding, nobody wants to leave..

well known for his minimalistic choice of ingredients christoper rau somehow frees himself of any straight format. songs full of sweetness, a glimpse of soul here, a detroit electro influence there, broken beats, breaks that are no breaks, sexyness and funk and fun.

this is new smallville-stuff!

180 gram brazilian polysom re-issue of the polydor original.
one of the hardest rocking albums ever cut by os mutantes – a record that’s got a slightly ironic take on rock and roll styles of the time – still performed with the sense of drama and humor that always made the band so great! rita lee and arnaldo baptista are still in the group at this point, and they’re working amidst a heavy wave of guitars that echo out with a bit of keyboards and some rhythms that are chunky enough to almost be called funky at times, but sweet and dreamy at others – all produced with a flanged-out finish that makes the whole thing sound great!
