repress , strong contender for dance record of the year- red rack’em’s incredibly wonderful and fantastically wonky, disco banger, was rereleased on classic this year. after a few months of slowly embedding itself in people subconscious, it returns with new mixes. first up in the marvellously talented kink - strahil is no stranger to classic, having made a stamp on the label many years ago with his remix 3rd face. he s gone from strength to strength with his productions which have been accompanied by his glorious live performances. kink goes in, heads down with some proper techno wonk. this is indeed a beast. on the flip luke solomon joins forces with bristol’s very own eats everything and lord leopard, creating a bristol “circle of three.” the luke eats leopard edit adds a slight bit of conformity to the drums and the arrangement, without taking out too much of the wonk but taking it ever so slightly into “house “ territory. overall this is a monstrously wonky package - and just in time for xmas too.

respected producer and dj red rack em is due to release his new album self portrait this february via his own label bergerac. formed over the course of four years during a transitional period after moving to berlin, self portrait, as the title suggests, is a true reflection of danny berman and his influences.

2016 repress ... *in love again* first surfaced as part of red rackems *all i ever wanted ep* in 2010 becoming an underground smash. soulful vocal samples, and beautiful detroit strings work uniquly in the wolf style that we come to expect. the new remix is uptempo, with skippy drums, and a deep warm feel. this tweaked mix is made for underground dancefloors. the b side features a brand new track entitled *latin techno*, which combines filtered chopped up loops layered over huge beats. another successful release for red rackem and a fine return to form for wolf music.

unlucky 013? ha! this one’s a pearler. multi talented producer red rack’em climbs up the fertile n s y d e spirit tree for this glowing summer release in the form of the ‘nothing without you’ ep. a mutation from the same skunky-soul strain of n s y d e 005 by skymark / lady blacktronika. the title cut is a result of a red rack’em tour through the south pacific, connecting with inkswell and fam. what was meant to be a rack’em / inkswell track instead ended up with australian vocalist, now berlin diamond in the rough: misumami liberally sprinkling her magic throughout. with a proposed subject matter based around missing loved ones while apart, misumami weaves an enchanting story of longing, and matters of the heart, through signature sleek, clever, floor ready rack’em production. flip for ‘love beat’ and here we get red rack’em- the funky technician fanboy, dusty fingered native tongue devotee, and closet jazz dancer. the loose, bumping drum programming and sculpted, cubist jazz sampling (inna heavy mandalorian funk fashion) weld this nocturnal seduction dance together. this is a late night groover, an eyes closed on the dance floor vibration. both sides are modern, vital, considered house music, where the problems of the world dissolve in a heads down- vibes up situation. mastered by pole at scapemastering so you know it’s gonna bang...

support from todd terje, crazy p
from da vaults…nettles is a new series from red rack ems bergerac label which will focus on the more sample based end of things. tracks which have remained secret weapons for many years will finally see the light of day. this first release features music which was played by quite a few heavy hitters but sadly remained lost on the hard drive…until now… ‘bill george starts of as a super funky, cut up electro disco jam which morphs into the mother of all breakdowns before drifting into super deep detroit style house and then peaking back to the original electro funk vibes. a secret weapon for the likes of crazy p (who featured it on their beats in space mix way back in 2010) and one of red rack em most unreleased tracks requested for release , there s going to be quite a few people around the world celebrating bill george finally making it to wax. a 30 second piece of incidental music from a long lost german children s television series is extended into a late night disco jam timm which picked up props from none other than todd terje when danny extended it back in the hot coins edit days of 2007. another lost track which is finally seeing release…. ‘transfer list began life as a hip hop beat which ended up being such an epic opus that the full glory of the track had to be unleashed. once again a cdr classic for a trusted few. a super funky beat evolves into a kind of honky tonk vibe sort of on the kmd tip but with added poppy vocals. made in 2003

repress ... it s been a busy 3 years since danny berman aka red rack em released on his own bergerac imprint. since then he s toured relentlessly, released a whole album of live music based disco/punk funk for sonar kollektiv as hot coins, managed to completely update his biggest track in love again to make it a hit the second time around plus released spaced out, wonky party smashers on wolf music, phonica, city fly and telefonplan. while all this was going on bergerac was largely on ice but now berman is turning his energy back to the label with a vengeance.
dj support: dixon, ame, hunee, dam swindle, jimpster, inkswel, medlar, mad mats, doc daneeka, kito jempere, ron basejam ...

red rack em is a name well known to wolf fans as he launched the first wolf white release with his deep house classic in love again. he is a master at reworking dusty grooves into peaking house bangers. that is the best way to describe this ep too. do or die is a straight up peak of the night disco jam. big sample, big bass, big track. ooh ooh ooh leans on the soulful side of his sample selections and its wonky but funky composition never fails to turn heads. the final track live at music hall is straight up deep. so, something for everyone, no messing.

scottish born and currently berlin based dj/producer danny berman (aka red rack em/hot coins) has had a pretty hectic last few years and show no signs of slowing down. following the anthemic releases on wolf music & city fly red. he is now ready for his telefonplan debut.
*i got something* and *make your mind up* are both dark tracks with punchy basslines that hit deeeeep, pitched-down vocals and plenty of bounce to move any crowd. the surprise is *jan 11 hip hop*. get ready for carefully constructed next-level effective drum programming from mr berman, and a perfectly balanced third course!

red rackems debut ep for ramp recordings finally available!

the a side >feel my tears< is a warehouse burner on many levels. perfect for those summer evenings of drug loneliness.

the last track on the record how we do is a strange jazz techno house hybrid, taken from the early years album and now available on vinyl due to popular demand.

limited, 300 pressed… once upon a time in a borough not so far away… endlessly walking the streets, on one of those hot-as-hell summer days in brooklyn nyc. you pause on the corner, to catch your breath, only to have an old box of records catch your eye. your fingers start to gather dust as you rifle though 12s with names like strictly rhythm, nu groove, madhouse, henry street and loop nloop on the labels. as you reach the end of your frenzied search, one unassuming piece of wax, in particular, seems to mysteriously peek your interest… on the corner vol. 1. the debut release for the brooklyn nyc based cortelyou road recordings. this will be first in a series of compilations coming from cortelyou road. leaving no stone unturned in their search for the finest production talent from around the globe

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

untracked recordings had a killer year in 2009, and if this is any indication things are only going to get better for the vinyl only label in 2010. release eleven at the label is the incredible new all i ever wanted ep from rising star red rack em. the title track is straight beatdown, theo parrish esque stabs and rumbling sub bass underpin a low slung heavyweight, for the true underground connoisseurs. the track, however, thats had everyone freaking out is in love again. serious support from gilles peterson, and endless inquiries as to its release date has ensured this record won’t be around for long. deep warm pads, an emotive vocal and beautiful detroit strings bring this straight to the heart of the matter. 300 copies only on 180 gram vinyl.

red rackem aka danny berman aka hot coins with 3 killer downtempo deep house bullets from detroits undertones label an offshoot of kolour recordings.

autodiscotheque return with a mighty release by one of their favourite maverick producers and djs danny berman. with releases on tirk, untracked, deep freeze and society, danny has made a big impression with his mixed up approach to production and djing. from the wonky house of the hot coins material released on tirk, to the more classically detroit outings under his red rackem moniker, danny is a music lover with an ear for the not so obvious and the left of centre musical territory.on this release which features both his musical personas simultaneously, the idea was to truly represent the difference between the red rackem and hot coins sounds on a single release, and to recreate an intense peak time feeling, but to do it from these two completely different scenes.place for me is detroit inspired heads down, cut up motown soul business, which pays homage to one of dannys favourite producers moodymann, and fits perfectly into that crossover space between slo-mo house and disco. chinese electro on the flip however, references that authentic early 80s new wave electro sound, and is influenced by yellow magic orchestra and recordings from new wave radio shows like belgiums liaison dangereuses
