played by tim sweeney, only fools & horses, guillaume coutu dumont, sebo k, shit robot, mock & toof, fabrizio mammarella, toby tobias, willie graff dflex is the project from house music aficionado & x-press 2 member diesel & restless soul producer felix hopkins. both have been involved in electronic music long enough to understand the finer points of whats needed to create something of substance and with dflex they have formed a platform to explore their love of house music, techno & jazz. here we have their debut single, waltz, remixed by two very talented producers, switzerlands kawabata (a.k.a. lexx) & us producer dave aju. both offer outstanding offerings for those who like it deep..

diese tolle housenummer erinnert ein wenig an die alte >moodymann < zeit! dazu gibt es einen serafin remix

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

cool minimal trippin funky minimal tech track selection

the story of this record includes one day in m(dm)ay, anarchic after-hours, laptops, gurner-djs and the need of pressing something that sounded nice, uplifting, somehow kompakt, pop-trance and just so convincing on a 12-inch. databoy78 thought the same and here we go with a seductive and hypnotizing drama. flip the script for a splendid remix by zurichs super dj lexx (zukunft, sometimes known as kawabata and switzerlands version of dj premier back in the day) who houses tings up and giving away a dope swiss beatz excursion on top of it all. lemonade was a popular drink and it still is.

the latest addition to the miasmah roster is oslo based musician fns aka fredrik ness sevendal. a veteran of the oslo experimental scene, sevendal has been associated with several bands over the years: del, slowburn and kobi. additionally his previous work has involved collaborations with makoto kawabata (acid mothers temple), mitsuru tabata (zeni geva, marble sheep), mark francombe (ex-cranes guitarist), and bill wood (1/3 octave band).

die zweite ep zur cd-compilation >drumpoems 2< präsentiert tracks von hunee, dc, riot und kawabata in exklusiven edits, die es nur auf dieser maxi gibt. fantastische musik zwischen detroit-techno und new-school- und old-school-deep-house. das schweizer label drumpoet community spielt inzwischen in einer eigenen liga.

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

a very special vinyl only release!!! for obvious reasons this is a black label style vinyl only release here on mountain people. 009.1 has been around for a while and has been supported by the drumpoet community guys, above all by lexx/kawabata, who has pushed to make this a proper release. the mixdown pressed here is actually a very early raw recording which he kept (we didnt). so thanks lexx, we owe you one.

dj support : loco dice (desolat), minimono (tuningsork, oslo), kawabata (drumpoet community), kalabrese (perlon), giles smith (secretundaze)... must have for fans of we can do it !! incl livio & roby (solar, fantastic house) and mia (sub static) remixes

foat & boddy haben sicherlich schon die ein oder andere platte auf drumpoet community gehört. denn der modern, housige sound der beiden londoner erinnert stark an die platten von quarion, kawabata, manuel tur oder soultourist ohne, dass foat & boddy dabei als kopisten in erscheinung treten

this teasing 4 track ep combines the previously unreleased tracks of foster, kawabata, the lost men and soultourist on vinyl. deep house heaven!

with only a couple of releases and remixes (incl antena >bye bye papaye<) under lexx and his more house oriented alias kawabata on drumpoet, he became one of the key figures in the ever growing neo disco scene. we are very proud to announce his first full 12inch on permanet vacation. >axis shift< is an absoulte space boogie bomb. think of innervisions goes disco. sure shot on the floor. >el sueno lucido< is a psychedelic balearic affair with a great guitar play. support comes from lindstrom, bill brewster (last night a dj saved my life), mock & toof (dfa), toby tobias (rekids)...

permanent vacation is going in the second round of antena remixes with belgium s disco devil (in dfa style), nouvelle vague, lexx (aka kawabata / bear funk, drumpoet) & the cosmic italo trio phreek plus one (compost) on the controls

drawing heavily on the alpine backdrop of their home city and its relaxed vibe, the artists have assembled a selection of exclusive tracks and one-off edits to reflect the rhythm of zurich and it s cosmopolitan feel. incl. brand new tracks from cavalier, the lost men, langenberg, quarion, kawabata, azuni, hunch, a previously unreleased track from dc and new edits!
