incl. strong dj koze remix ! tip !

la duquesa the most tender and most refined piece of the album amygdala, perfectly casual and serious, deep and euphoric, all at the same time, is dedicated to the spanish duquesa de alba, who, as holder of 46 titles of nobility, is even more highly decorated than queen elisabeth.

pampa is a new label from old pals dj koze and marcus fink, dedicated to releasing club music that s seriously danceable without recourse to the tried and tested ingredients. a home for house and techno tunes that will conquer hearts and take root there forever, music that s brave and not afraid to break with convention

2023 repress - dj koze doesnt aim for technical perfection for its own sake, but rather to serve the purpose of giving birth to great music. on his debut >rue burnout ep< from his own pampa label, he plays with finesse and sophistication, and implicitly understands the importance of subtlety, leading from dreamy and restrained parts to a noisy frenzy at the end.

do you know what time it is? its debut oclock. emitting his first material for pampa, its &me - craftsman of all things deep and sturdy, at the same time connoisseur of emotive touch and virtuoso of sure instincts, one of the scenes central characters for a good amount of years now and one of the main figures of berlins keinemusik-crew. the man has been hitting the bulls eye of public perception several times in the past, meeting everything it takes to get a crowd going with an intent on the detail when it comes to his arrangements and sound. these new two cuts seem nothing less than the essence of his abilities.

!! new koze !! seeing aliens unquestionably is a banger, its bass riff snaking around your body like a python, its high-drama strings, pianos and outbursts of noise designed for maximum crowd pressure release. but, again, it sounds like nothing else, and its dynamics and twists unfold over eight and a half minutes in ways that will mess with your head every time no matter how many times you hear it. the exclusive b-side track, nein könig nein (no king no!), meanwhile, is slightly gentler on the face of it: it’s less about sonic pressure, more about hip-shaking syncopation. but it too tells strange fairytales in its peculiar and brain-tweaking accumulation of detail, and though you’ll hear archetypal sounds from the heart of house and disco in it, every last one of them becomes new and otherworldly.

robag wruhme strikes back, with two 2 club smash versions taken from his recent album ... phaaaat

despite all the collaborations on last years amygdala by pampa cult leader dj koze, there was still one recurring comment from the public: the album still had dj kozes trademark stamp all over it.

three kicking, bumping tracks for all day and all of the night. euphoric percussive floorkillers with a hint towards an alluring gloominess.

pampas favourite barnhus boy returns to the label fold, and his previous episode is no easy act to follow: 2010 was the year, holy love was the name, and purple drank the undeniable track of the year it captured the dancefloor zeitgeist with its sultry tempo, and created an classic with its instantly recognizable vocal. while he last left us falling down the rabbit hole, axel boman’s newest concern is upward, forward, accelerated motion.

next dj koze mega release, candidasa is already played by sven väth

2023 repress - dj koze might be one of the worlds best producers, but above all hes a dj, and it’s his dj ear that governs. just as in a great set, so with his releases: seeing aliens came out of nowhere, a big buzzing beast of a track, to announce that koze was back on the scene and prime everyone for the coming album, knock knock. but now that koze has your attention, it’s time to remind everyone what’s most important about club music, pull things back, take a turn to the left, and get deep into the groove. thus pick up: the second single from knock knock is 100% pure groove, doubly so in the extended 12inch version. in a sense its incredibly familiar it is essentially a filter disco record, very close to something you could imagine coming out of paris around the turn of the millennium. but of course, this is koze. nothing is normal or familiar in his world, and hes taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia – there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock – but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

das selbstbetitelte album der avant-pop-musikerin sophia kennedy vom april vergangenen jahres auf dj kozes pampa label begeisterte fans und kritiker gleichermaßen. sophia kennedy gilt völlig zu recht als ausnahmekünstlerin in der zeitgenössischen musik aus deutschland. die symbiotische verbindung setzt sich nun mit der veröffentlichung einer neuen 10inch fort, inklusive zwei unveröffentlichten songs, auf der sich sophia weiterhin der handwerkskunst eines songwritings diesseits des mainstreams widmet. im zentrum von -being special- steht ein trio aus perkussivem piano-riff, streichern und handclaps, dass das herz mit der anmut eines großen cinematografischen gefühls wärmt. in kennedys version von -afraid- - einst von der all-time-underground-legende nico geschrieben - scheint eine spröde do-it-yourself-angelegenheit, doch der song entwickelt sich ausgeklügelt in kleinen schritten: sophias unverwechselbare stimme gewinnt an fülle und wird zeile für zeile dynamischer, wie sie durch wiegenlied-artige strophen schweift. -apple in the basket- schließlich ist das verschrobene schlussbild, verkörperung eines wirbelnden zirkuskarussells, das sich im verzerrenden glas eines spiegelkabinetts reflektiert und wo der ort, der eigentlich für den refrain reserviert war, der sich steigernden wiederkehr nun grotesk verzerrter orgeltöne überlassen wurde.

niall mannion aka mano le tough is set to release his first record on pampa entitled ahsure. the 3 track ep sees the irish producer showcase his unique ability to combine dance floor rhythms with visceral vocal based songs. the result of which is a piece of work that will find a comfortable home in a variety of settings. while this method has become the hallmark of manos discography, ahsure feels like some of his most honest and accomplished work to date.

dj koze introduces sophia kennedy - stunning debut album by 26 years old wonderwoman sophia kennedy
elegant, melancholic, sometimes menacing, with smoldering piano melodies, desolately whistling organs, and a jaunty jaw s harp loop, kissed by the golden californian sun, or shrouded in gloomy, dreary fog: sophia kennedy is currently the most versatile composer in german pop music – not to mention the greatest singer. her debut album -sophia kennedy- reveals her as a dramatic romanti-cist and distanced diseuse, as a deft lyricist and master of melody. in her eleven songs, she travels from doo-wop to dubstep, from classic crooning to breathless r n b, from frank sinatra to beyoncé. her talent for songwriting is deeply rooted in history, yet it seeks nothing but the present: both historically versed and timelessly beautiful at the same time. all tracks have been produced by sophia kennedy and mense reents (who is known as being a member of die vögel, egoexpress, die goldenen zitronen).

pampa is ecstatic to welcome berlins mike denhert for his label debut. known for an uncompromising, heads-down approach to moving dance floors, whether as a producer, a dj, or in his live incarnation, mike has provided 2 original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. how close to be is a stuttering march of half heard and half imagined discourse, broken by bright synthesis which disappears before it can fully form, with the disorientating sonics held in check only by the rigidity of rhythm running throughout the tracks length. its both surprising and linear. dark and uplifting. me too is also a creature of opposing ideologies. warped moving jazz plays with static motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout. bright keys warp, and swing ebbs in and flows out, all to an eventually breathless but ultimately compelling sum of these parts

isoees long and celebrated discography has taken him from seminal microhouse compositions, through lush, deep and dubby productions, to the melodically rich sound design of 2013 mindblowing allowance. any of this would be a tough act to follow, but the seasoned hamburg talent takes it in his stride once again, looking firmly towards the future while paying tribute to all chapters of the past with the brand new two-tracker, floripa ep.

dj kozes 2013 album opus amygdala has continued to bewitch all who encounter it since its release. tipped as his own personal sgt. pepper, the sublime long-player revealed a fully-realised and personal body of work, complete with a classic songwriting at its core, house in its heart, and veins coursing with psychedelic color.

after a few nice but largely unnoticed 12s for lower-profile labels, duererstuben is ready to make a serious maneuver, and pampa is pleased to provide them with the proper platform. the sheets of rane ep is the berliner duos most sophisticated statement yet, imbuing cold programmed sounds with a glowing human touch and a penchant for melody.

london trio vondelpark have received quite some notable accolades for their debut full-length album seabed, released earlier this year on r&s records.

incl. collaborations with caribou, apparat und dirk von lowtzow, hildegard knef und matthew dear, ada und milosh!

after his separation from playhouse in 2007 and the rather longish break that followed it, it looks as if isolee has finally found their new homebase with pampa records. evidence of this may be found in such unprejudiced tracks as taktell, a single extracted from the album well-spent youth. as is tyical for isolee, it defies any clear-cut genre classification and creates its very own harmonic setting, merging associations of pop, house and distant landscapes into a unique sound voyage.

pampa is proud to present stunning remixes from die voegel for dntel & dj koze for matthew herbert.

next michel cleis masterpiece , this time on dj kozes pampa records... >mir a nero< begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio - like if philip glass make dance music - but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. by the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the tracks overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. simply put, this is latin house with that anomalous pampa records swagger, drenched with flavor like sangria-soaked mango. flip that baby over and you get >amaranthus<, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. this piece stands as a color-negative of >mir a nero<, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, >amaranthus< is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the a-side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

just in time for summer, pampa issued aimlessness, the long-awaited new album from dntel aka los angeles producer jimmy tamborello. his latest electronic suite brought forth stronger leanings toward house grooves, building upon the pop and idm approaches he explored earlier in his career as half of the postal service and a member of figurine - with a healthy dose of pampa otherworldliness on top. now, robag wruhme steps in and recontextualizes two aimlessness cuts for a remix ep. wruhme is already a beloved member of dj koze’s extended family, having released the full-length thora vukk about one year ago, which was deemed another success for both him and pampa” in resident advisors four-star review. first up is robags kloff mottüré mix of bright night, a starry-eyed transformation of dntels work that twinkles like fireflies in the clear midnight sky.with symphonic splashes, playful pitter-patters and a tranquil breakdown, it sounds a bit like teenage toads skinny-dipping amongst the lilypads. next up, robag finds inspiration in dntels jitters,not once but twice: the marf labo mix takes the title quite literally,offering a jittery breakbeat interpretation with a metallic angel chorus swirling over the haphazard beats. finally, on the flip side,the emmens worsch mix brings things more closely aligned with the grooving, heartfelt house thump that pampa has engendered. its the eps most dj-friendly cut, while at the same time showing off robags gentle production touches and letting tamborellos sweet, subdued voice shine through.

mit >life is full of possibities< von 2001 wurde dntel zu einer der wichtigsten figuren der glitch-szene, die der elektronischen musik eine neue dynamik und komplexität verlieh. unvergessliche songs wie >anywhere anyone< verschafften ihm eine treue fan-schar. seit dieser zeit sinnierte dntel, der mit bürgerlichem namen jimmy tamborello heißt, in zahllosen veröffentlichungen gefühlswelten und stimmungen nach. als teil von figurine entwickelte er einen mal anmutig-bezaubernden, mal irrwitzig-albernen techno-pop-sound. mit ben gibbard von death cab for cutie gründete er postal service, deren nummer such great heights wurde vom rolling stone unter die hundert wichtigsten songs des vergangenen jahrzehnts gewählt. dass tamborello als einziger electronic-act des nirvana-labels sub pop gesignt wurde, war zwar eine kleine sensation, rückte ihn aber aus dem blickfeld seiner europäischen fans. schon in den ersten momenten versetzt einen aimlessness mitten in den dntel-kosmos. von van dyke parks bis pavement, von den dead kennedys bis zu dr. dre hat popmusik aus kalifornien durch ihre emotionale abgründigkeit fasziniert. genauso zieht uns dntel in einen unwahrscheinlichen strudel aus irisierend schönen melodien und noch nie gehörten elektronischen klängen.
inklusive cd-version des albums.

2x12 inch repress version (ohne downloadcode und ohne 7 inch bonus)!! in der pampa weiß man nicht, was einen erwartet. bei >thora vukk< sind ein heller und ein dunkler fluss ineinander verwoben und so verschieden die beiden stränge auch sind, so notwendig sind sie füreinander. die düsteren, herausforderenden klangräume bringen die melodischen, clubbigen tracks zum strahlen. die feingliedrigen grooves kommunizieren mit jeder einzelnen muskelfaser. sie ziehen an den gliedmaßen wie an den fäden einer marionette. bezaubernd schöne strings eröffnen ein packendes oder doch ungreifbares popmoment. durch die ständigen variationen öffnen sich die fächer der grooves immer anders. im gegensatz zum ersten robag-wruhme-album sollte das neue gesetzter werden und mehr mit melodien und mit selbst aufgenommen samples arbeiten - ideal für das schlafzimmer und für >fahrgastzellen aller art<.

for the first time on this planet dial owner lawrence shows up on an excursion to his beloved pampa imprint. the double feature >kurama” presents two deepy enchanting anthems, a timeless vision of love. after touring around the globe with his new label mate dj koze since ages, having the most successful release in dial history with kosis efdemin remix, sharing music with each other like crackbrained, it is not a big surprise for lawrence to occur with two of his best pieces on pampa records. well known for his releases on mule electronic, ghostly international, styrax and his own imprints smallville, dial and laid, it was his first mix cd on cocoon >timeless< which made lawrence put some cats among the pigeons. with the new pampa again he has proved that the holy temple of deepness has to invite some flawy hypnotists once in a while to get clouded and shaken. the number 09 is dedicated to two most famous experiences in japan: the kurama mountain in kyoto, one of the most amazing places on earth, and oolong high, one of the most amazing drinks on earth- cold oolong tea on the rocks with a zip of japanese shochu liquor. after koze and lawrence had another few of these beverages again they started dreaming of this wonderful release

die vögel are back. almost two years after their sensational debut release‚ blaue moschee, the arena rocking ep thats still a permanent fixture in sven väths record bag, die vögel have laid another milestone in the history of club music - the fratzengulasch ep. ground breaking, surreal and captivatingly timeless, this dance music doesnt give a damn about the laws of gravity and the monotony of everyday routines.

meine zarten pfoten ( my tender paws ) is the eagerly-awaited album by lady ada that everybody s been longing to get a hold of for so long. her second album after debut blondie truly is a revelation. ada has successfully cast off that four-to-the-floor yoke and has recorded songs that go way beyond all our well-known categories, hovering above everything in a state of serene disengagement. it s certainly ppp in its broadest sense, but ultimately it s a work of music that radiates such an amazing warmth and tranquility that it will even sedate the biggest nervous wreck into a state of subtle receptiveness. this record is your friend. it s a shining light of beauty, glowing from the inside. humans have feelings. and it s only the noblest of feelings that these nine songs arouse. after listening to them you’re left with a slightly sheepish smile on your face. and then you press play again
