limited run on these - don t snooze !

the snooze fest is over and we’re back in the saddle with the first output from colin la plante aka the mole aka half owner of this imprint. he’s been touring up a storm and playing out a lot of new music we’re excited to share with you this year.
spicy noodles are something colin thinks everyone can love…not one at a time…but by the bowl.
this four tracker definitely shows off “new directions” for the mole – nothing too outlandish mind you, but the path he chose with the title and crowd favourite “gelb grun blau” definitely has these tracks leaning towards the centre of a dj sets vs. beginning or end…spiralling kick drums with a fine grind blend of digital synths, analog synths, drum machines and the occasional samples here. vape-house anyone?
the closer “back in the studio game” is a beatless one created just for the sunrises of your life.

deep emotional house tracks . this record needs no introduction! one of the most classic house records ever made! the legendary pairing of frankie knuckles (rip) and jamie principle delivering two devastatingly ahead of the curve anthems. * baby wants to ride / your love*, both still sounding as fresh, vital, original and contemporary as they did on their 1987 release.
truly one of the dream pairings in modern dance music, the knuckles / principle team brought us many classic moments but the two tracks contained here are among the most recognizable and well loved tracks in the house music lexicon.
often sampled, covered, edited and re-worked, but never, ever bettered here are two absolutely essential cuts, re-issued as they were released originally in the late 80s on trax.
re-released for 2015, re-mastered and re-pressed with all the original trax label artwork present in conjunction with the official rights holders / owners. an essential addition to any dance music lovers crate! dont snooze on this

musically and emotionally, superpitcherÆs third full-length studio album, the golden ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-years, emotionally. and full-length it is: the golden ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in january 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period. the seventh piece of the golden ravedays puzzle will be released on hippie dance in july 2017. number 7 of the series introduces two further tracks of the sound adventure that superpitcher is taking us on this year.

side a features andy, music made by superpitcher in memory and admiration of a pioneer artist and his works. andy warhol looks a scream, hang him on my wall, andy warhol, silver screen, can t tell them apart at all, andy walking, andy tired, andy take a little snooze, tie him up when he s fast asleep, send him on a pleasant cruise, when he wakes up on the sea, be sure to think of me and you, he ll think, about paint and he ll think about glue, what a jolly boring thing to do. david bowieÆs lyrics about andy warhol mirror the groovy yet deeply moving emotion of this track. the music superpitcher imagined here is a pleasant cruise in itself and once you wake up from it, you will for sure think of andy. side b features yves. the track starts with a long introduction of harp music and then gently evolves into one of the more fragile and poetic pieces superpitcher has created thus far for the golden ravedays record. similar to andy this track is dedicated to an artist, yves saint laurent. what is clear in this music is that there is an intense understanding of the suffering yves saint laurent lived throughout his life as an artist and fashion designer. as only superpitcher can, he translated that emotion into this beautiful and touching piece of music.
