with the very first release on polynom thomas stieler presented an euphonious sounding interpretation of look for the sin, which stems from daniel schwarzs dubby original. the labels second release is coming up now titled my soul. this track has the signature of thomas stieler and shows, what emotion and commitment within arragement means. thereby a warm, phantasic balanced and primarily harmonic and qualitative valuable house track that creates a gracile level of comfort by its deep and artful temper relatio focussing the dance floor as balanced staging area. in the soulmate-remix by less the original is applied by a dynamic portion of drive, which absorbes the aesthetics of my soul and polarises therefore with pressure. doing this less is never loosing the reference to the classic message of the original. hes just additionally seasonning as taste is as well-known varying. strictly ltd, no repress

classic hongkong techno !!! limited repress

a very special release for us, hope you are feeling it ! early support from little louie vega & osunlade !

nice price deal !!!

thomas hesslers ep is the first player through crepuscular shafts & sonic subways.. beware the trail. first track - lost - cements you into a vacuum of suffocating synths that precede a poundin kick.. you are propelled into a tunnel. the bridge of the track is a course in restraint, giving way to menacing drive & looping side sticks.. siren like washes takes hold, swirling & disorientating the listener. on the flip, - 12 channel madness - best conveys the tone and atmosphere of the release. the murky darkness & pace feels inhuman to the core, but not without infectious rhythm breakdowns with flavors of old & nu skool shuffle timbres. these tracks are also - tools - that do not sacrifice on complexity. the haunting synth washes carry us through but offer no comfort. insanity & intensity reaches catharsis but never overpowers the overall mix. - berlin movement - is the final track on the ep that affirms you are still inside the tunnel. the incisive hook lines impel you to find your way out. the kick is more subdued forcing you to go with the melody until the break & bridge lapses back & the restraint builds to hypnotic frenzy. a dry, howling wind prevails.. filtered and distorted. thomas hessler succeeds in taking us through his tunnel of contradictions: alluring, menacing, emotional yet coldly detached. listen up: you might not escape !
words: livia terri

dust off your mirrorballs and set the strobes to max. discodromo brings in the italian barry white from hell, hard ton, for this late anthem of the year… prins thomas on the dub, tensnake on the remix internasjonal hq, september 2011

the long awaited >thracian ep< by bogdan irkuk a.k.a. bulgari is finally here. already played by idjut boys in tokyo and supported by heavy names such as mark e and toby tobias to name a few.
bogdan asked to include this legendary quote by his hero brahim ivaylov, written on the back of the record sleeve. -... it came down from the mountains, over the wind-swept plains, we covered our faces as the wind and the sun spoke with one voice, singing our songs so impossibly true...- brahim ivaylov, thrace, 1906.
these few words really capture a lot about the mood of this masterpiece. dont miss this release - no repressing.

seit seiner ersten veröffentlichung auf bpc vor drei jahren pflegt thomas einen unverwechselbaren sound, dessen eigenwillige und detailverliebte soundgestaltung den eindruck stetiger bewegung bei gleichzeitigem stillstand vermittelt. die daraus resultierende spannung erweckt eine ebenso unwiderstehliche wie eigenartig anmutende, maschinenhafte lebendigkeit. während thomas sein klangliches markenzeichen auf vergangenen eps und remixen - u.a. für telefon tel aviv und cormac - perfektioniert und etabliert hat, stösst er nun mit jedem track seiner aktuellen ep >neurones< neue türen auf.

live recording of a 6 channel loudspeaker concert of improvised electronic music., november 14th 2010 at Äänen lumo festival for new sounds at myllysali, suomenlinna island, helsink.

busier than ever with their cocktail damour label and parties, releases north, west and south we once again bring you the sounds of unicorns and rainbows(doing the disco)with discodromo aka giacomo and giovanni. viaggio verso pegaso in original form and (from the top of the dromos wishlist) a fresh rework by ichisan & nakova backed up by a slightly re-arranged and arp-ed up version of >numero uno< by yours truly. enjoy!

finally back on vinyl. one of the strongen techno releases from thomas schumacher

for all the wonderfully subtle shell-breaking he did on his full-length, mark e falls back on old, slow habits for his new single, >the day<. and welcomely, we might add. pitching things down to a basement lounge floor crawl, the midlands dj/producer wraps his always chugging kicks and snares in serpentine synth-bass, jazzy, tripleted hi-hats, and moaning, wordless soul vocals. its grasp is tantric—hinting coyly at ecstatic release, but never fully delivering. for the vinyl junkies that bought stone breaker and missed out on it the first time around (it was absent from that version), this release should be a no brainer. but >the day< isnt carrying all the weight here. a new track called >special fx< will have sample hounds—particularly those with a thing for classic electro-pop—salivating. and the oft imitated, never replicated prins thomas shows up on the flip for a (naturally) eleven- minute revamp of >the day<, livening up the bass and drum patterns, adding in strings, piano, guitar, organ, and ending up with something that totally could have emanated from a camaro at some point in the early seventies. (albeit, one owned by someone with interest in eleven-minute instrumentals.) it even has a fade out!

so addictive: the title says it all. this housey tune builds up with layers of digital swirls powered by a kickass beat. chopped up disco-feel vocal snippets create the dancefloor vibe of ?club lasers meet glitter ball?. we?re hooked but be warned - you?ll never get enough. starstruck: a cocktail of electro chord harmonies with a delicious shot of catchy oohs give this groove something to slam too. it?s disco audio waves roll up on the funky shores of vocal snippets with just enough white-crested synths to give this housey number dance-driven pleasures.

vor vier jahren hatte thomas d noch rückenwind und dieser trieb ihn ganz nach oben in den charts. bei lektionen in demut dürfte der wind indes von vorne kommen, denn 2001 präsentiert sich thomas d sperrig, düster, apokalyptisch und alles andere als massentauglich. schon allein dafür gebührt dem stuttgarter eine menge respekt.

das label polynom entstand in weimar und verliebte sich in dichters sein.die erste veröffentlichung richtet sich an die klassiker. wie sonst auch ist das erste release eines labels geprägt vom entstehungsprozess. auf einem weg durch berge und täler des kreativen schaffens erscheint unter dem namen look for the sin das erstlingswerk undbeinhaltet zwei stücke, die für bescheidene glücksgefühle bestimmt sind. tief klingende, funktionale bässe und zurückhaltende flächen werden durch das mastering von dubplates perfekt ausbalanciert. den remix steuerte thomas stieler bei und legt seiner veröffentlichung auf legotek nun aufpolynom nach. seine interpretation ist sommerlich knackig und lädt zur gediegenen after- hour ein. wieder tritt form und funktion in ein symbiotisches verhältnis und glänzt durch die leichtigkeit des arrangements.

silky vocals, warm basslines, gentle guitar licks and a smooth melody – a perfect ode to a beautiful day. prins thomas kicks off the 12 inch with an epic 12 min long remix. eli escobar remixes night spot, a heart pounding dance floor scorcher and trap.avoid do a minimal disco remix of under the sun.

dj ageishi is like the sensei of japanese djs: a true legend and active since 1973, he can scoop from an incredible musical wealth of experiences yet has his ear to whats happening in the now. this mixture of knowledge and curiosity for the new also characterizes his debut on internasjonal with colleague dj akin, who left his mark outside of japan with a remix for brennan greens >900lb man<. rattling drum breaks from the funk end of disco are the backbone for a soprano sax lick slightly remiscent of coltranes >a love supreme< that floats on top of noise distortet sheets of synth before the >rain parade< makes a total turn ending with a comforting lullaby like rhodes melody. prins thomas boils it all down to a simmering slow dub remake, while mark e lets all the single ingredients patiently lets every ingredient from the original develop its full-bodied flavour before kicking up the heat.

prins thomas spreads proper, earthy dub house vibes in a good old bobby konders tradition with >lang tung ting<. a hard driving jacker with dry, punching drums and grumbling, low-frequency acidic sounds not modulated by an 808 synth but from warped cello and bassoon lines. an ode to the timeless magic of beats and bass. much less sparse >ny maskin< on the flip is a dizzying disco/ rock jam backed by african derived beats and a gyranting, buoyant guitar lick . prins thomas brilliantly proves himself a jack of many trades again

massive double header from german uber producer thomas schumacher. pressed on limited edition solid yellow vinyl!

thomas fehlmann is integral to kompakt and the labels history. his solo releases and collaborative work with alex patterson as the orb have been some of the kompakts most revered and cherished tunes. following the success of his 2010 full length gute luft (a collection of re-edited versions from his score to the hit documentary 24hr berlin), we start 2011 off with titan one / dfm. on october 16, 2010 thomas fehlmann performed in montreal, canada at the historic molson coors brewery building together with members of the montreal symphony orchestra (osm). together they sought to recreate a version of gustav mahlers classic symphony no. 1 (titan). kompakt is proud to now offer a new recording inspired by that epic concert of symphonic and electronic with a new recording inspired from that performance – renamed as titan one. the hum of cellos and strings conjoin fehlmanns electronics – held together by the sublime, unobtrusive thump of a bass drum. titan one flows with a beauty and edacity that is rarely heard in both classical and electronic music form. the b-side features a new recording inspired from the second piece of the performance - a new version of thomas fehlmanns du fehlst mir from his 2006 kompakt full length visions of blah. reanimated as dfm, the piece again conjoins the different musical worlds in a way we have never heard to such a high standard. a much more upbeat affair than to titan one (of course) bass and keyboards mingle with the symphony the playfulness of the original song rolls throughout dfm. whether as palais schaumberg, the orb, or 3mb (to name only a few alias). fehlmann may have 3 decades of professional recordings under his belt but he continues to prove to the world as being one of the most fascinating and creatively open musicians in his field. this release clearly proves his story is far from over.

nice price deal !!! platte international strikes another powerful blow to dance floors and loud speakers everywhere with their third vinyl release in 2010. two of the founders of the label, kareem and thomas bellmer, teamed up for an ep that equips the listener with an arsenal full of deep analogue sounds, infectious rhythms and floor-stomping bass, vital for any sonic attack.

another debut on full pupp henning severud is telephones, hailing from bergen but recently relocated to berlin. as a special treat prins thomas regurgitates the track with a little gastric acid.

big with: justin harris, nathan coles, darren roach, dj disciple, jef k, makossa, tim sweeney, samuel l session, vince watson

the fourth release of >lets get lost< which is started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this new release is by thomas bullock aka rub n tug/map of africa/welcome stranger. i guess the introduction about him is not necessary. on the a side, thomas edited the disco version of jolene by olivia newtone-john (original is country rock from dolly parton 1974). on the other side,its a rework of >zz top-i wanna drive you home < . this rework is like a thomass original production.you can comparevery easily with map of africa or his another moniker. both tracks are very cool rock oriented disco stuff. dont miss this rare thomas s edit release

58 minutes of proto house, denizen loops, far flung folk, post punk, cosmic rock and other junk. after forging new ground with his previous sonic hotchpots >miscellaneous mutant mishaps< and >the exploding disco inevitable<, dom thomas returns with another brain melting audio escapade into the ether. the third album in his dynamic anti-mixtape series on brutal music is salubriously entitled >synthetic soul & other junk<, giving thomas free license to curate a mood that takes the unsuspecting listener on a cascading journey of edits and loops, blurring the lines of traditional dj mixes and original compostion. >synthetic soul< is composed of a variety of genres from >international disco frankenstien< thomas musical heritage, warping together vastly disparate records into a rich sonic tapestry. repeated listening recommended with or without substances...

thomas muller has most definitely found his sound. following two splendid remixes for his bpitch label-mates cormac and telefon tel aviv, he finally indulges us with a complete 12 inch from his own sound lab. a masterpiece without a doubt.

first of 3 volumes taken from the incredibly rare japan only cd release inner films 70 from 2009. the sketch is simple, modern disco artists take on seminal film scores from the 70s and give them a twist. first we have norweigan disco wizard prins thomass take on the theme from rocky – gonna fly now. all live instrumentation… thisll rock your socks off. on the flip japanese artist foog (mule musiq) gives the theme from close encounters of the third kind a new lick of paint, while fellow japanese sonic adventurer hideo kobayashi (apt. international / bite grooves) turns rhapsody in blue into a tech-y workout.

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut, just the way we like it. fernando pulichino should be a familiar name to you, either as part of 2020 soundsystem or maybe his recent cover version of bauhaus >kick in the eye< on redux? anyway, we cherry picked 2 of his tracks, one for the peaktime and one for the good times.

our dutch counterpart onno is known for his dance floor mastery. his after school ep on upon you was a multifunctionalmover that could teach any lethargic raver a few aerobic moves. >hit me< is in the same league and is completely unsuitable for yoga and pilates, so hes succesfully targeted the blonde dance instructor once again. onno brings the a1 fatburner to a peak with his charming impertinence. thomas schuhmachers pimped version of this awesome rave stepper on b1 tugs and pulls at your pants dragging you kicking and screaming to the dance parquet, where you soon realize that you never want to leave, but for those of you that want to lose some weight also know that you always need to condition yourself and >ghetto talk< on b2 is the perfect bouncy tune for that hour or so on the treadmill.

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.

jakob korn, break sl, thomas froehlich, cuthead on the first release of this ambitious new label from dresden. with its foundations firmly rooted in house and open to all styles such as techno, disco and dubstep. its a small community of friends and producers, djs that meet each other the old fashioned way, the local record store fat fenders. the first release is a true house-affair. thomas froehlichs >get us< is a mysterious and breathtaking opener with beautifully plucked strings and a summerish feel. jacob korn with the surprise track on this record that combines intricate soundscapes built on an uplifting groove. this guy is on a roll! on the b-side breaks-prankster cuthead unleashes an unusual deep house study entitled >unacceptable moustache styles< before the record concludes gracefully with break sls late night jam >low light<. we ve said it before... the next generation has arrived!

one of the master teachers of the norwegian house and disco rune lindbaek - who put oslo on the house map as part of the those norwegians ( paper music ) - joins forces with younger disciple kare frisvold for a potent, accoustic hallucinogenic called >bozak brewed with the shared knowledge of mad sounds scientist like walter gibbons and lee scratch perry: a constantly building electrical storm of strange psychedelic synth noises pierced by flutters of rico rodriguez style trombone solo, liquid guitar scales and kraftwerk like melodic fragments all held together by a forcefull drum beat. the quirky >spok & spenning< on the flip is another beautifully strange mixture of cinematic melodies, like sweated out by a drunken ennio morricone, over an easy skanking beat and comes additionally in a stripped down bonus beat plus spacey sounds version by prins thomas. take a trip to your mind!

limited one sided 12 inch !! slamming tribalistic / latin infused summer anthem... for fans of luciano, villalobos...

what a perfect definition of minimal techno, differing from all this crap that made minimal suffering over the last months. swen hutmacher aka shi buka and thomas wangorsch know where to set samples, sounds and elements, and italian fellows nihil young and alex d elia deliver some nice personal flavour on the original as you are used from their work for labels like rekluse or their very own frequenza. this is the deal!

salz is back!! very special handmade cover which is stricly limited to 200 copies!! the cologne duo salz, has written history with their unigue interpretation of dub techno for over 13 years. their work has been highlighted through numerous 12s on their own now deceased label salz. they have remixed alexander robotnik, philippe cam, thomas dolby and recently minilogue, piemont, thomas bjerring, deepchild, riley reinhold etc. what makes salz remixes so special is their opproach to deconstruct and transform the original through tape delays and spring reverbs into something genuine new. no artificial flavorings being added. on this limited 10 inch you can witness for the first time on vinyl one of their best up to date remixes! timeless music for connaisseurs. music for the gay moments in life

one of the major players in oslos disco scene joachim dyrdahl aka diskjokke returns to full pupp with his new original track takt raver, a shiny example for his melodic, epic yet jacking style where almost fragile melodic fragments, stomping grooves, simmering acidlines and air-horns magically gel together. label boss and discoverer prins thomas takes us on a space walk with his marvelous psychedelic remix of 1987 which will appear in its original version on diskjokkes forthcoming second album on smalltown supersound. on the flip excentric duo and food geeks ost & kjex ( diynamic ) serve up a whole menu with several courses and a huge variety of flavours: their remix of interpolations makes itÆs entree as a jerky, crunchy afro-beat style funker followed by aromatic, earthy house chords before a well-rounded finish of tangy acid lines and hints of bitter-sweet melodies. sink your teeth (and ears) into this!!!

super prins thomas remix , incl mp3 download code !!

(gute luft) leaves a soothing emotional residue. taken as a whole, gute luft sounds like a continuation rather than a culmination of thomas fehlmanns rich career. hes not out of ideas yet. in fact, they just keep getting more interesting. – resident advisor

big with: ivan smagghe, hot chip, axwell, seth troxler, monika kruse, tiger stripes, tiga, john digweed, loco dice,.. thomas schumacher has always had an underground attitude toward his music. he thoroughly demonstrates this attitude with his first 12inch of 2010, >taxi<. an audible middle finger to the dull - as - ditchwater - post - minimal - token - ethnicvocal - sample - loop - boredom

we are proud to have discovered a new artist for traum who will boost the cinematic and electronic side of the label. the debut sees a sound evolving with thomas bjerring that is emotionally deep to the heart, masterfully produced and unique. the a-side >stratus< moves like fog over woods and landscapes. it is rich and mighty in texture but light as well. it is somehow detached and at the same time very touching... a master piece of techno.
