catcalling from the depths of a city seen from the outside as crumbling, sonic grooves carve a path to the soulful detroit duo known simply as the oliverwho factory. first noticed across the primitive music sharing plateaus of a decade past, the oliverwho factory quickly gained notoriety overseas with a glasgow based distribution, and a keen sense of product importance, releasing rich, mood-driven tracks on vinyl, inspired by and resonating the roots of rock, pop, jazz, and r&b. earth near-silently stumbles with the distinct yet mysterious, funk laden blend of house and techno that oliverwho and shonie c. so naturally provide. like stepping into dreamscapes of unknown desire, the obscure flavor of owf s tunes keeps unconventional beauty and otherworldly adventure at the forefront of this duo s detroit-based soundboard.

big with dj sneak, hot chip, ellen allien, thomas schumacher, nick curly, m.a.n.d.y. !! hallo sportfreunde! wir freuen uns, dieses jahr unser 5 jähriges bestehen mit euch zu feiern und veröffentlichen daher various artist e.p.s von künstler, die mit ihrer musik zum erfolg des labels beigetragen haben. der anstoß kommt von alex niggemann, der zur zeit mit releases auf 8 bit, supernature, bla bla und be chosen weltweit durchstartet, sowie axel bartsch, der dieses jahr wieder voll angreift und zuletzt mit releases auf get digital und suol verzückte und oddvar, der 2009 mit seinem ersten sportclub release für furore sorgte.

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun
