cocoon recordings celebrates the 100th release! incl. 3 x vinyl + 2xcd + ein paar exklusive slipmats! well, to be honest, we are even over in the 100 meanwhile as our anniversary release needed some time to get well prepared and to make sure it will be a very special one.

dj andy smith Ð one of the worlds premier funk djs and the man who supplied portishead with their samples Ð joins forces with keith lawrence - renowned reggae collector and reggae dj from www.colourfulradio.com - to present the heaviest selection of funky reggae in the uk smiths comps have sold over 35.000 units inc. the acclaimed -document- series which included albums for greensleeves & trojanp>killer cover versions of stevie wonders you havent done nothing (sly dunbar), marlena shaws woman of the ghetto (hortense ellis) & william de vaughns be thankful for what you got (donovan carless) super rare cuts from bumps jackson, barry waite & sly dunbar tracks from impact, randys, demon, dynamic, hot shot, tent & various pama records offshoots various tracks from the pama catalogue which back-in-the-day was a contemporary of trojan inc tony scotts what am i to do now, pussy by kid longo, lloyd terrells i did it, ricos tribute to don drummond, d tony lees peyton place, lester sterling & stranger coles bangarang & children get ready by the versatiles.

mit traumwandlerischer sicherheit schlŠgt lawrence einen bogen źber 16 jahre gelebter clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische hier und jetzt aus dem auge zu verlieren oder auch nur eine spur in anachronistischer nostalgieseligkeit zu verfallen. stattdessen gehen unter seinen sensiblen hŠnden meilensteine des minimierten deep house wie >forever monna< von chez damier, ron trent und stacey pullen (1995) oder der 99er clubhit >overcome< von thomas melchior/baby ford mit kontemporŠren intensiven detroit-techno-hommagen wie smallpeople & raus >life aquatic<, delano smiths >my life< oder pigons traumhafter >koto<-dubtech-romanze von der 10 jahre dial-compilation auf wunderbare weise zusammen. au§erdem mit dabei sind so bekannte namen wie aril brikha, isolŽe, das ifach collective und robert hood, bevor roman flźgels auf duran durans >save a prayer< basierendes meisterwerk >brian le bon< und das kristalline >oi< von plaids klassikeralbum >not for threes< (warp) den wehmźtigen schlussakkord setzen. lawrences mix atmet hier jedenfalls die gelassenheit eines lichtdurchfluteten sonntagmorgens zwischen modernistischer gro§stadt und waldlichtung und gibt so seinem globalen kźnstlerischen ansatz die passende dimension

two years from the vol.1 which one of the most cutting edge artist like dj koze, minilogue, jan janelik joined, finally vol.2 is arrived. new ambient collection from the familiar artist with mule like koss, lawrence, terre thaemlitz, sebastian mullaert (minilogue) to the new comer like kassem mosse, nsi., porn sword tobacco. hope you will enjoy the silence.

die neue fabric-ausgabe kommt von roman flźgel, einem seit źber 20 jahren elementaren mitglied der frankfurter elektronic-szene, der unter aliases wie alter ego, acid jesus oder sensorama auf labels wie playhouse, ongaku, klang elektronik, cocoon oder dial (club-)musikgeschichte geschrieben hat. und auch sein fabric-mix ist geprŠgt durch seinen langjŠhrigen, charakteristischen stil: abstrakt, idiosynkratisch und dicht, dabei aber immer warm und einladend.

cocoon recordings is proud to present the 4th edition of our inhouse-compilation-series dots & pearls. cocoon recordings never has been a narrow minded and singled sided techno label with just one style to refer to. the bandwidth of artists in the label roster such as roman flźgel, minilogue, guy gerber, åme or even boys noize (just to name a few) proofs that sven vŠth and his label managers have always combined a wide range of techno and house subgenres throughout all the years. electronic music for all different kinds of listening- and body-movement-purposes

its not everyday that pianist and composer, francesco tristano, joins forces with one of the belleville three Ñ the godfathers of detroit techno Ñ and yet, anyone whos followed the luxembourg artist will know that expectation is not a currency he deals in.

those of a certain vintage may have a soft spot for global underground s after hours series, which promised to soundtrack -the party after the club- by joining the dots between woozy progressive house, deep techno, electronica and, of course, ambient. some eight years after the last installment, the long-running club brand has decided to re-launch the series. apparently, this latest installment took a year to put together, and featured tweaked, edited and gently reworked tunes layered up for a more enjoyable listening experience. musically, it sticks to similar territory to previous installments, updating the sound a little via tracks and remixes from ewan pearson, lawrence, scuba, matrixxman, michael mayer and joris voorn.

dj koze : * wir haben źber 1.5 jahre unsere sehr geschŠtzten pampa freunde und kźnstler gebeten, ihre bestmšglichen exklusivstźcke fźr die compilation zusammenzutragen. stźcke, die alle komplett unterschiedlich sind, aber sich alle durch ihre originalitŠt, beseeltheit und liebe zum sounddesign aus der flut der veršffentlichungen dieser tage herausstechen. zeitlose musik, von ausnahmekźnstlern, die auch in 20 jahren noch bestand haben wird. musik, die uns berźhrt und hoffentlich auch den rest der welt*

when the smallville record store was founded in 2005, people were surprised and regarded it as an experiment. everybody discussed the downfall of vinyl sales and the upcoming market of downloads these days. just a bunch of people regarded record shops, vinyl labels and wonderful warm sounding clubs as the places of true magic. smallvilles finest stefan marx, who is responsible for all artwork-related things and therefore the visual impact that smallville always had, got a call once at night from another one of those dreamers and activists, ata macias. he came up with the fabulous idea to create a standard 12inch cover saying: vinyl kills mp3.

itÕs the season of the juiciest, sweetest fruit, of shorts, tank tops and thongs, the time of year when you look at life through a dark pair of sunglasses. summer is also the time of year when lovers of soul, disco, funk, bossa, jazz and other similar grooves get together to enjoy the sunny vibrations sampled by guts and mambo from the world over.

incl. tracks by mike candys, hardwell, cascada, jean elan, bryce, tujamo, armin van buuren, michael mind project uvm

this new album features the music of calypso in its many styles. included is music from its birthplace - the island of trinidad - as well as a number of other caribbean islands (including jamaica and the bahamas) and its subsequent onwards journey (britain, panama and the united states), recorded during the years 1955-69.

cocoon recordings celebrates the 100th release with a double-cd, that contains the tracks by the above standing heroes and further exclusive material by dominik eulberg, minilogue, sante & frank lorber, popof, timo maas, gregor tresher & petar dundov, electric rescue and a track by legowelt

kollektion 2 is also a perfect opportunity to plug the first installments gaping holes.

there will always be a bass drum making people dance, but it will rarely sound the same. techno and house are in continuous flux. there will always be people celebrating. and each year new kids join the scene, hungry for pleasure, for beauty, for ecstasy - for life.

fźr die 13. saison auf ibiza und die dazugehšrige warum-up summer mix-cd sind fźr euch dies mal cassy und joris voorn am start!

dj friendly unmixed version! incl.exercise one, daze maxim, radio active man, soul capsule and many more

viele der antiken heldenfiguren waren zugleich halbgštter oder zumindest gegenstand religišser verehrung. wie war das noch gleich: god is a dj? spa§ beiseite. die zwšlfte ibiza-season des cocoon-teams um sven vŠth hat sich als motto >cocoon heroes< gesetzt. cocoon recordings sorgt deshalb mit der mittlerweile fźnften summer-mix-ausgabe fźr die offizielle einstimmung in diese mega-event-reihe. eines der absoluten highlights in dieser saison ist der auftritt von adam beyer am 25. juli. der stockholmer drumcode-labelboss gehšrt seit źber fźnfzehn jahren zusammen mit richie hawtin, jeff mills und sven vŠth zu den wichtigsten taktgebern der elektronischen tanzmusik. als produzent oft ein garant fźr stringenten und harten techno, beweist beyer seine vielschichtigkeit mit einem energetischen parforceritt zwischen hypnotisch perkussivem techhouse, dub und acid und źberrascht nicht zuletzt mit einer ausgeprŠgten neigung zu sinn stiftenden vocal-samples. schon bei der opening party im amnesia dabei ist der frankfurter dorian paic, als mit-inhaber der plattenladeninstitution freebase und als label-chef von raum...musik. seit vielen jahren untrennbar mit der rhein-main-szene verbunden. wer dorian paic als dj bereits erleben durfte, wei§ um seine beispiellose begabung, mit geschmackssicher reduzierten und dennoch unverwechselbaren techhouse-juwelen eine ganz eigene geschichte zu erzŠhlen.

spinning nowadays regularly throughout legendary clubs in berlin, dave is also playing gigs all around the world. having released his first 12inches on raum musik in the late 90s, the long players sensory overload (2000 mueller records) and lights and colours (2007 moodmusic) were the highlights of his career which is now being crowned with retake one.

when dial records started in 2000 with a bunch of friends highly inspired by deep house, detroit techno and cologne lovetunes, nobody of them ever thought about running a decent record label. the only concept david lieske, peter kersten and paul kominek had in their mind was never to be part of any proper record business, never to be controlled by any rule or trend, always to let the record label be a part of their love for music and arts. even the dial family was never intended growing that big, almost 70 percent of the artists on the first compilation are the same on >2010<, the history starting from a small label based in hamburg turned out climbing a high mountain. touching cities like detroit, tokyo, paris, berlin, buenos aires, releasing music like contemporary classic, drones and glitches, ambient, guitar pop, singer songwriter, deep house, minimal techno, discovering arts of protagonists such as michaela meise, sergej jensen, dirk stewen, hanna schwarz, anna mšller, cosima von bonin, all this fills a decade of dial records. but still the main part is the music and as we hold the 2010 compilation in our hands and listen to the tunes of phantom ghost, isolŽe, pantha du prince, carsten jost, john roberts, efdemin, lawrence, christian naujoks, dominique, rndm, pigon, kassian- we still have this enthusiastic feeling that wants to tell us: this is only the beginning

excellent sven vŠth 2009 double cd mix... incl dvd !!!

the smallville collective has injected a real breath of fresh air into the house music scene. after launching their record shop in hamburg city in 2005 they invited the most sophisticated artists of the european and american underground scene- such as jus- ed, keith worthy, shinedoe, sleeparchive, omar s, baby ford & thomas melchior and many more to play at hamburgs love-spreading allnighters.

martyn needs no introduction and his p-funk inspired melody and bassline provide another entirely fresh take on the deliciously broken rhythms we have come to love from him. we thought it only fitting that we should try and get a different take on lee jones’s ‘aria’ for the project, as it has been the most in demand single from the first 20 releases on aus.

farväl falkenberg is an album by erik enocksson and a soundtrack to the movie of the same name. it is 10 years old this year and in celebration of that posh isolation is rereleasing it in a remastered version with new artwork, giving it its first widespread lp release to date.

hamburg city in da house ! dj koze & lawrence treiben dir das pipi in die augen mit einer sommerlichen melange aus minimal und zarter bande..
