we are happy to have pan/tone for our fourth pfand release. sheldon thompson, aka sid le rock, serves up three melodic pieces which catapult you into a deep dreamy trip, complete with floating hypnotic grooves and melodies. rhodes avenue comes with tropical bells, 70 s-style rhodes piano with 80 s-synth flavour. animal parade convinces with cinematic soundscapes and a memorable hymn which brings us to another level. inyourendo surprises with electronic soundscapes which fit excellently for intros, interludes or ending of a set. and finally, the pfand team, hali and yapacc as -the cabin- adds a rework of animal parade with a percussive techno groove supported by a groovy bassline with deep drones that move directly into your brain

we are proud to present souki for our third pfand release. third time is always a charm and this time, we bring our longtime close friend and collaborator souki with her stellar release hot jupiter. the outofthisworld title track, cowritten by the hubrist, features an eerie extraterrestial backdrop captured from the deep space array by nasa. also on this release is an upbeat remix by yapacc + hali under the cabin. the b side is packed with two stunning minimal tracks entitled chicxulup and korona, both contending title tracks on their own. and rounding out the release is the beautiful, atmosphereic track entitled etna which serves as a fitting way to close out this gorgeous ep.

every great weekend in the party capital of berlin usually involves a big fat breakfast. this time, our favourite pfand duo, hali + yapacc release their sophomore pfand release entited the breakfast ep under the moniker the cabin. whether it’s the super-catchy big fat breakfast (in pankow), the psycho-lovely halibell, the fine-minimal of moscow, or the hooky-vocal this time tonight, this is sure to woo fans old and new.

the founders of >pfand<, hali and yapacc, met each other in berlin and torontos nightclub circuit. they created the synonym >act natural< and debuted four tracks which describe the actual vibe and feel of berlins club culture. beside the purely minimal percussive tracks (pretty good & action - words), they created a vocal-based hymn, >berlin is killing me<, that perfectly expresses the mood after a long party weekend. for >revenge or insanity<, they invited julie marghilano to give the right punch in combination with a bumpy bassline that kicks you in your ass.
