c.o.w. ist ein deutsch-chinesisches produzenten-kollektiv und kunstprojekt. mit der vision neu und frisch zu sein, haben sich c.o.w. im dezember 2015 gegründet. das ziel: die musik, in der deutsche popkultur stagniert, aufzubrechen. dabei sollte nicht nur die musik, sondern auch form und gestalt einen neuen zeitgeist reflektieren. die vier erfahrenen produzenten aus deutschland und china entschließen sich dazu ihre identitäten zu gunsten der kunstfigur c.o.w. aufzulösen. mit der gründung von c.o.w. verlieren sie sich in der multimedialen welt des internets. verschmelzen im digitalen. erzeugen eine neue wirklichkeit. sie produzieren und spielen insbesondere instrumental-elektronische musik, die von jazzigen interludes bis hin zu no-brainer-beats das volle repertoire ausschöpft.

casino shanghai was a -techno-pop- band started in the mid-80s in mexico city. they released their debut and only album -film- in december of 1985. an album considered today as cult status. casino shanghai were part of a great cultural change in mexico and its music scene. the band made various controversial appearances on tv when a band without a drummer or guitarist was unheard of. all members had been in different notorious bands in the local scene. ulalume was the lead singer of the casuals (punk-new wave) and denseundergrowth (avant-garde). carlos robledo and walter schmidt were part of size (post-punk) and have been playing together for many years in decibel (experimental). humberto alvarez played with mcc (prog rock) and is currently a well-known musician and multi-instrumentist. before the band split-up they recorded two last songs in 1986, -le tombeau d edgar poe- and -l action minimal-, as part of an unreleased solo ep for ulalume. these tracks were edited in 2014 on 12&#8243,,, by mannequin records together with a remix by in aeternam vale. the music of casino shanghai was also used for the soundtrack of some mexican films. -crónicas de familia- directed by diego lópez and nominated for the ariel award for best original soundtrack in 1986, and -juana la cantinera- directed by josé loza. -film- has been restored and remastered for this new edition including all original tracks plus two bonus: -le tombeau d edgar poe (haunted version)- and -cuerpos huecos- (spanish version of -hollow bodies- available only on a promotional 7&#8243,,,). limited to 350 copies on white vinyl with a new artwork and printed inner sleeve with photos and song lyrics.

college ist eines der musikalischen projekte des französischen musikers david grellier, der auch als valerie und mitch silver bekannt ist. der film-soundtrack zu “drive” machte ihn über nacht berühmt. der song “a real hero” von college war einer der beiden pop-tracks (mit “under your spell” von desire), welche die schlüsselszenen des films untermalten und den soundtrack so berühmt machten. “shanghai” ist ein konzeptalbum, welches stimmungen dieser stadt reflektiert. dies hört sich über weite strecken wie ein imaginärer soundtrack im 80s electro-gewand an. mit dem stück “love peas” ist gewissermaßen ein chinesischer song geboten, der in die fußstapfen von “a real hero” treten könnte. fans von johnny jewel/chromatics sollten hier herein hören!

mannequin records is elated to present a 12inch ep with two unreleased 1986 tracks of the mexican new wave band casino shanghai, with a killer analog modular remix by in aeternam vale on the b side.

and now for something completely different … cgi is extremely excited to present the proof of concept ep from shanghai-via- chicago’s osheyack. these are productions with a weight and freshness that we at cgi have not previously encountered. while on a small us tour in june 2016, osheyack played a set in atlanta and thoroughly blew everyone in the room away with a mastery of rhythm, sound, and arrangement that is uncanny. we approached osheyack after the gig for demos and what we received was as dense and inspiring as the live set. words don’t do this sound justice but it’s perhaps most fun to close your eyes and imagine a demonic cirque-du-soleil-esque techno marching band stomping through the graveyard of your dreams and resurrecting all of the wasted souls to stomp on their graves in a frenzied trance...

limited sales pack, featuring 3 classic releases from the let’s play house label: lph050, lphwhtx and lph045.

we are pleased to welcome arkaik back to dispatch for his 2nd release, the superb timelapse ep, dropping on the main label this february.
knife edge precision separates arkaik from the crowd, with an unrivaled delivery in dark, stripped back beats and timelapse collates some of his best work to date. clinical bass stabs are rife throughout, with eerie atmospherics keeping the tension heightened as the shanghai resident consolidates his unique dancefloor style. with infectious grooves, techno inspired progression and sub pressure to test any soundsystem, timelapse is a testament to arkaik’s mastery of the minimal sound.

shanghai based, altieri second release on slow motion and it is an absolute belter. an insane mix of acid and middle eastern influences that punches its way to the cerebral cortex and takes no prisoners. sure to any drive any discerning dance floor into overdrive, spazio terra is backed up with a peak-time remix from the man that always can fabrizio mammarella.

osmose and thoma cher present 4 disco house jams that will work the floor from hotlanta to shanghai. each song arranged for peak hour vibes!

(2lp + download) this duo is cheerfully pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz, armed with only piano and drums. fans of nils frahm, radiohead and keith jarrett should be lining up already!

raffaello & palermo is the union of two friends and old lph brothers, damon palermo, aka magic touch, and raphae&#776,,l valensi, aka laura ingalls. palermos an angeleno who came up in the bay area scene of the mid-aughts and valensis a frenchman dwelling in shanghai, perhaps best known for his work as the horses, a duo comprised of him and cle&#769,,ment pony. so there s the backstory. what s actually on this slab of wax, though? four chunky anthems that nimbly weave ravey mayhem into filter house and disco edits, sometimes touching on almost psychedelic trance-like tropes. if you dont hear one of these out every weekend night this summer, you re going to the wrong parties

whiskey disco continues to explore the boundaries blurring the lines between original and edit, disco and oddity. wd47 is helmed by dutchman, olivier boogie, an artist known for strengths across the spectrum, in previous releases, we ve seen his editing on display, no goodbye is a fine balance between original synthesis and editing panache. thoma cher is a newcomer to the edit scene, but has been heavily involved in a disco and house renaissance occurring in shanghai over the last few years. his club chops have honed an acute ear, we love what we re hearing from him and can t wait for more. the b-side is everything a b-side should be: weird. label staple, alkalino guides us along a cosmic journey of boogie-down grooves. arps, baby. we love em. sf crew, jp soul & anthony mansfield have been attracting serious attention of late between outings on roam recordings and sightings at the famous burning man camp, disco knights. to say they are ravelords is an understatement. their pedigree is on full display in warlord, equal parts arp energy and huge (huge) lead, the right balance of fun and cheese.

for the fifth installment in the common thread series we are launching our series of various artists eps called *knives replace air*. for the first effort in this series we have the likes of chinaski, mangulicafm, 33.10.3402 and gitchell moore cooking up stuff. expect an odd mixture of genres all sharing a common thread in terms of feel. maybe not the most dancefloor friendly record but definitely some kind of miniature soundtrack in its own right.

by now the leipzig based overdubclub got fixed in the heads of instrumental music lovers in germany outside the city boundaries. the concept and the unique sound of a beatmaker roundtable which focuses not just on each participants productions, but also on the jam character, shows through diversity and individuality what is possible when making music collaboratively.
