lp 1 of 2 is vinyl only, 180g heavyweight vinyl, cellophane wrapped

previously unreleased works of marco repetto (former grauzone)

carlo ondas vinyl-debüt repräsentiert die neuinterpretation der neuen deutschen welle. wirklich avantgardistischer und frischer minimal-synth und perfekter deutscher gesang, der uns in die glanzzeit von grauzone, daf, joachim witt oder robert görl zurück versetzt.

als ein großer grauzone- und stephan eicher-fan war robi insinna extrem geehrt, als er vor einigen jahren gefragt wurde, ob er ein remix von stephan eicher machen wolle. die idee zu der reworks 12 inch auf relish kam erst einige jahre später und seine wahl fiel auf *nice*. dieses wird auch teil des reworks albums sein, welches nächstes jahr erscheint. headman hat dann noch new york citys justin strauß in das projekt einbezogen, welcher *eisbär* schon bei seinem ersten dj job im legendären mudd club spielte. mit seinem partner bryan mette als (whatever/whatever) gab er *les filles du limmatquai* seinen touch. das cover ist eine hommage an das original artwork von der *nice* 12 inch us mixes vinyl von 83, welches von klaudia schifferle stammt. sie war mitglied der schweizer punk-band kleenex, welche das original von *nice* einige jahre zuvor geschrieben und performed hatten.

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

atas volume of the >life at robert johnson< mix-cd series wouldnt be complete with out a 12-inch. here you get two of the most extraordinary songs and mysterious corkers of his outstanding compilation. ramonaäs main man picked grauzone with >raum< and zwischenfalls >flucht< for this special plate. as this wouldnt be a treat in itself already, ata extended the pop arrangement of >raum< into an almost 8 minute long powerful ballroom blitz edit for all you new wavers and old romantics. always remember: the future was already yesterday, but the good times are always now

mental groove records is thrilled to announce bigenerics new double album entitled spielmanda in collaboration with the artist own inzec imprint. swiss artist marco repetto is the chromatic brain behind bigeneric musical project and has a strong background in the burgeoning scenes of minimal synth (grauzone with stephan eicher), early techno (synectics on aphex twins rephlex imprint) and ambient / trance (planet love on superstition). spielmanda album reflects the artist deep love for nature, psychedelia, health and futurism. the title is borrowed from a book by berner writer and myths researcher sergius golowin and is a fictional legendary and mystic place in the swiss pre-alps, a place that marco repetto explores through the 16 tracks of this album that he has constructed and tested at numerous performances. a truly justified and bright +2 hours long daydreaming walk across the deep forests and infinitively colorful meadows of imaginary spielmandas landscapes and beyond, with marco repettos heart rebel signature, a unique and modern mixture of technology driven hippie & punk culture. 117th release from versatile swiss imprint mental groove records (donato dozzy, bruno spoerri, eduardo de la calle, kenji kawaii, orlando voorn, nate krafft, sinner dc, orbe, lugano fell, keiichi tanaka, tommasso cappelatoÉ)

digitalism has lovingly created a mix for !k7s legendary dj-kicks series. for these two young germans, jens moelle and ismail tŸfekci, joining the ranks of contributors to the series was nothing short of a dream come true. twelve years ago, the duo met as two record store workers in hamburg, admiringly selling the dj-kicks series to their customers, and appreciating the dexterity of the mixes and range of artists who assembled each mix. their favourite contributions include tigas mix (his mix was the essence of edgy and cold electro-techno.), the playgroup mix (more really playful stuff.) and erlend oyes mix (cause he sung over a lot of stuff and had some favorites like jŸrgen paape and the collaboration with morgan geist.
