cocoon recordings is proud to present the 4th edition of our inhouse-compilation-series dots & pearls. cocoon recordings never has been a narrow minded and singled sided techno label with just one style to refer to. the bandwidth of artists in the label roster such as roman flźgel, minilogue, guy gerber, åme or even boys noize (just to name a few) proofs that sven vŠth and his label managers have always combined a wide range of techno and house subgenres throughout all the years. electronic music for all different kinds of listening- and body-movement-purposes

nice price deal !!! concealed sounds are very proud to announce martinez fourth studio album, -o-pen-. it has been about four years since he released his -paradigm shift- on moon harbour, and during this time he been busy experimenting in his studio to come up with a very mature sound rooted in the musical output we ve seen lately on his 12- releases for concealed sounds as well as other labels. on -o-pen- the focus is not to make any concept around the tracks or the album itself, but just to have ten full compositions that each have their individuality and not necessarily is the same genre or style. you ll hear more melodies again and instruments, as well as analogue drum machines and modular synths that creates the soundscape of this album. a very organic album, including all sounds from the usual house & techno to more dub, ambient and even jazz influences. we are very excited to release this piece of work. early support from: zip, ricardo villalobos, raresh, s.a.m. & sylphe.

jacek sienkiewicz is back. drifting is the artistÕs 5th full-length release and the second one on his warsaw-based label recognition since 1999. his records were played and strongly supported by renowned artists such as sven vŠth and richie hawtin, legendary producers like ricardo villalobos, uwe schmidt and recently, max loderbauer collaborated with jacek. drifting takes its listener on a complex but still accessible journey to a state-of-the-art techno territory where carl craig melodies coexist with stark minimalism of robert hood, but they serve only as entry points for further exploration

the trained pianist max loderbauer, together with ricardo villalobos, has just breezily launched the jazz sanctuary of the munich-based ecm records into the ether as re: ecm. on the new adventure he now logically again finds himself working with sanctuaries. for the tool he uses for creating worlds is the finest modular synthesizer in the world, the buchla 200

following the international success of his much acclaimed debut lp, drone logic, daniel avery expands on his wide reaching world with a carefully curated collection of remixes from the artists with whom averys forward facing electronic style shares the deepest affinity. inviting each producer to either compliment, reconstruct or occasionally rebuild his original compositions, new energy stands as a testament to the strength of the current state of affairs in electronic music, borne out of one of its most original talents.

it seems that there is an overabundance of artists today who have reached a level of success from their work, but very few of them come close to the level of output and range as butch. equal parts producer extraordinaire, dj, gentleman, and comedian, butch has everything deserving of a star in todays dance music arena. which is why, we here at watergate are extremely pleased to present him as next in line for our watergate mix series

fabric macht einen sehr klugen schachzug und begrź§t den dj/produzenten petre inspirescu, ein aushŠngeschild der rumŠnischen houseszene, in seiner serie. petre handhabt es wie sein vorbild ricardo villalobos und serviert eine komplexe, aber zwingende vision von housemusic aus auschlie§lich unveršffentlichtem und exklusivem eigenmaterial. eine klasse fźr sich!

zip ist nicht nur eine der umtriebigsten persšnlichkeiten der hiesigen house/techno-szene, sondern auch eines ihrer grš§ten rŠtsel. er scheut das rampenlicht, ist aber in allen bereichen elektronischer clubmusik allgegenwŠrtig: als dj (mit residenzen in der berliner panorama bar und im offenbacher robert johnson), als erfolgreicher labelbetreiber (perlon, mit dem hauptact ricardo villalobos) und als produzent (dimbiman). zip hat es sich nicht nehmen lassen, der einladung der legendŠren fabric-serie folgend, eine eigene ausgabe abzuliefern, bei der er auf nonkonformistische art und weise techno-takte aufbricht und sie in warme deep-house-grooves źberfźhrt. das ergebnis ist so einzigartig wie schillernd und mit sicherheit eine weiterer meilenstein dieser kultigen ausnahmeserie.

addison groove (aka antony williams) bestritt als headhunter seit 2007 sieben releases auf dem einflussreichen label tempa und erwarb sich einen kultstatus innerhalb der dubstep-szene. 2010 kam dann die źberraschende wendung mit einem der fettesten bass-tracks der dekade (footcrab),und das unter dem neuen pseudonym: addison groove.das feedback zu footcrab seitens der dance-szene war phŠnomenal,von kritiker- wie von kommerzieller seite. nicht nur die dubstep-djs,sondern diesmal auch techno- & house dj-schwergewichte wie aphex twin, surgeon, ricardo villalobos und mr scruff spielten footcrab hoch und runter und machten addison groove einem breiteren publikum bekannt.addison grooves einfluss auf die uk-bass music-szene ist gewichtig und ungebrochen, und sein von chicago ghetto tek und der juke-szene inspirierter style fźhrte zu einem gro§en interesse an diesen neuen genres der bass music.die erwartungen sind hoch, doch wir sind źberzeugt,dass niemand enttŠuscht sein wird.hšrt selbst!

we are happy to present the fifth part of >superlongevity<, the labels well introduced compilation series. this one will come as a continuously mixed double cd, 28 tracks....all unreleased

introducing the raudive alias, he created a reduced, sexy, dancefloor-centered wave of greatness for labels from drumcode to cocoon. this sound turned out to be highly attractive for the djs to play and for the girls and boys to dance to. the unparalleled appeal of his beats left the usual minimal competitors sounding rather dull. thus raudive quickly became the blueprint of techno modernism and one of todays most influential genre-bending production styles. macro unleashes the highly anticipated debut album - chamber music. chamber music is both: claustrophobic in sound design, reminiscent of the dark and sweaty concrete club spaces this music inhabits, as well as carrying acoustic qualities of induced instrumental experimentalism. bitches brew voodoo reeds, new york no wave voices and european avant strings spin a mesmerizing dark patina around the ultra-sexy year-3000-rhythms. no wonder theres huge dj support all accross the board - from miss kittin to richie hawtin, surgeon to trevor jackson, ricardo villalobos to jeff mills. massive deep edge and one of 2010 finest albums so far!

brill 2010 cocoon compilation with the hottest ibiza tracks...all previously unreleased complete new tracks

>the mix is rather a non-conventional mix, as there are many unreleased tracks from friends and artists that i deeply admire, like bruno pronsato, matthew styles and the mole, as well as some tracks from ladies i really love musically, like nina kraviz, laverne radix or deniz kurtel who provide an extra feminine touch to the mix-cd< dinky says.

like hardly any other contemporary dj, catherine britton aka cassy is living at the interfaces between reduction and soul, jazzy deep house and geometrically structured techno. and it comes as no surprise, because being the english-born daughter of a caribbean father and an austrian mother, cassy started at a very early age to develop a sense for artistic aesthetics that draws its special magic from the >in-between< especially. being resident in berlin since 2003, she quickly gained a residence at the panorama bar, worked as a producer with such renowned musicians like ricardo villalobos, luciano, mathew jonson or swayzak and releases her music on labels such as perlon, ostgutton as well as on her own imprint cassy. simply devotion, cassys 2nd mix cd after the highly acclaimed panorama bar 01 compilation is a proof of her love for deep house of a different kind, which has - despite occasional flashes of souly vocals - nothing to do with garage house and handbag factor

final song goes to the very heart of musics spiritual dimension by asking a number of musicians to select their ideal last song, either to serenade their final moments or to memorialize them after the fact. the participating artists deserve to be commended for their openness: theyre responding to one of the most personal questions one could ask. (several of those approached declined to take part- taboos are taboos, after all.)
