m.in alias markus ferdinand has been busy releasing on various labels and he is still a unpredictable person. his release on desolat >sing and blow at the same time< as well as his release on robsoul have established him as a funky player in the field of minimal, who freshened up the genre with light hearted emotional tracks. trapez ltd has been in contact with him since the early days, so we are happy to welcome his debut 3 track on trapez ltd.

the greek icon mihalis safras returns from his summer break with a powerful 4 track ep!&#8232,,,,,for all the die hard fans of mihalis >berliner< makes a strong move towards the deep and driving side of what we would call >detroit influenced< music.

with vernissage one on trapez ltd amir kicks off a beat which could have been written by herbert. as amir says himself his beats are ongoing a constant change, nothing stays the same. >cadaques< indeed highlights a spiritual quality that is expressed by ethno sounds, constantly shifting dynamics and a feeling for deepness

mihalis safras is back with another big time release on trapez ltd, produced with german artist pascal mollin. they have announced to go stronger on to the techno side with this release, but we certainly see the roots in post detroit and chicago house.

david keno delivers a fine selection of 4 bouncy house cuts that are so elegant, bloomy, sunny and uplifting, it feels as if winter did not exist.

the italoboyz released their portucais ep with us a year ago and now we are exited to release two new tracks by them and a digital bonus remix from trapez ltd artist blind minded.&#8232,,,the italoboyz are free spirits. they always invested a lot of effort, like to use real sounds and instruments played by musicians and go for the matureness and raw side of the authentic sound.

we welcome back mark henning. mark released a 12inch >pokerbot< at an early stage of trapez ltd already. he recorded his new ep together with japanese artist den aka tokuto denda.&#8232,, the 4 track ep features the tracks >la galaxia llorona< and >close encounters of the deep kind< plus two remixes, one by ed davenport and another one by sebastian russell. this ep is a hell of a techno ep, the revenge of detroit techno

reissue, ltd white-blue splatter

nice price deal !!! finest minimalistic groove & kick monsters! only for djs. the colombian duo jose m. & tacoman have recorded on top labels like material, area remote and sphera records and have written three tracks for trapez ltd now. >what are you watching< is a tricky traxter with a cool swing programming to keep you happy on your feet and moving. this is very much a beat track but has an outstanding groove that makes it so special. raw and streetwise it makes sure things are always going fine. one of these tracks that are loose and tight at the same time. a perfect alliance.>warehouse< seems at first less funky but convinces with an hypnotic aspect and a congenial feeling to it. >kick this< is similar to >what are you watching< a strong groover with sounds in the background and a catchy vocal line. all three tracks are cool and perfect for groove addicts.

two cool housy minimal slammers: this is 100% club music. we can see the tracks being played heavily by a lot of djs. relaxed but at the same time moving very rhythmically, both tracks have a modern way of getting the party going

supported by richi hawtin, john digweed, shlomi aber, hot chip, paul woolford, chloe, anja schneider!!

marcus sur lives 30 minutes from cologne in essen and has recorded for several labels in the past like pottheads with whom he reached no 1 in the dcc charts with his >stop the junk< release. his latest tracks were released on highgrade and keno records. marcus sur played bass in a band but stopped in the 90ies to get involved in djing which lead to famous residencies in clubs such as >rote liebe< and >baikonur< where he was also responsible for the musical programme. with his release >down with the ship< on trapez ltd he shows his love for minimal music. his definition of minimal though has more in common with robert hood than with recent developments due to the fact that his love for rare groove and deep house music has been part of his life. his 2 track vinyl is authentic and cool and speaks the language of the coal mining district in germany, the ruhrpott. house music has always been big there and lead to the founding of one of the first house distributers in germany, ntt . marcus sur is momentarily resident at the gold club in essen where he will celebrate his release on the trapez label night (26th of september)

roaring 2005 release by franklin de costa back in stock!

huge vinyl album sampler, with four of the best tracks from his full cd album release...

big with: richie hawtin, dubfire, dj hell, mandy, dj t, james what, ralph lawson... well what can we say, two tracks that could not be more different from well know mainz/ germany based artist butch aka bülent gürler. the a side >destruction< is a track that so perfectly fits into the scene of german minimal house, we think it will be eaten up immediately by the dj scene. the flipside track >muskatnuss< is more challenging and made for the advanced djs. this track is weird, funky, housey and more on the side of the new school of house we get nowadays from cecille and similar labels. the track makes use of samples from butchs most sought after sample libaries that include fantastic cartoon sounds he has cut up and arranged rhythmically. a stunning performance!

giorgio s mixture of house, disco and techno sees its result in these 3 tracks which are fuelled with a lot of euphoria and don t hesitate to make brave/courageous changes when crossing over from one genre to the other

diese 2 track ep kommt mit edem tech-house track >epopoe< und dem mehr auf house fokussiertem >haptic<. diese beiden tracks werden mit sicherheit in den plattenkästen von sven väth und josh wink landen!!

bomb ! undeniable force mihalis safras combines with kimono..no more words.. no more supporting feedbacks !

cooler 2-tracker mit einer gehörigen portion deeper & kräftiger basslines und hypnotischen sequenzen. played by loco dice, einmusik, martin landsky, brett johnson, jennifer cardini, gregor tresher.

ziemlich kranke, psychedelische aber vor allem unterhaltsame 3 track ep mit genialer ausstrahlung und charisma die zeigt, dass oldschool auch modern sein kann. in den kisten/laptops von james holden, adam beyer, hot chip, ricardo villalobos, laurent garnier...

labelchef riley & pierce sind 823 und lassen bei ihren >823s crackpot in the field mix< mit vollen bass & slammender percussion nichts anbrennen. roland m.dills mix hat ordentlich drive und entlädt sich in einem tollen break. support von dubfire, 2000 and one, tim green, scratch massive

>just a must buy< ... loved and charted by almost everyone !!! next mihalis safras biggie on trapez! after his top notch >interafrica ep< mihalis is going from strength to strength and presents us a record that will be loved and played for many years now....

seit langen wieder einmal ein naturtalent aus köln, der ähnlich wie audio werner die welt des post chicago house mit techno vermischt und etwas neues schafft. zur erinnerung, der hammer track der trapez ltd 63 von lucio aquilina war sein remix

played by: richie hawtin, dj hell, dubfire, monika kruse, onur Özer, gabriel ananda, karotte, italoboyz, dominik eulberg, gregor tresher , chris liebing, d. ramirez, sebastian leger etc... the follow up to >elements 1of 2< starts with >wind<, a strong epic old school monster of an acid track, with a cool chicago flavour, reminiscent of lil louis, with cool ups and downs, that have set the dance floors on fire around the world. >earth< the flipside track is a stripped down mover, quite drugged out and shivering in itself, having a much stronger new school touch to it. it is as bass heavy as we have experienced with all of the releases of butch

big ep from mihalis safras!! no1 in sven väth dj chart !! sehr originelle platte von mihalis safras der mit seiner massiven hookline voller afrikanischer sounds klar aus dem üblichen minimal schema fällt. fröhlicher, vitaler und nachhaltiger ethno-techno

red robin/jakob hilden & roland m. dill sind nicht nur die neuen shootingstars im traum imperium sie sind auch absolute qualitätsgaranten. das dürfte noch so einige floors zum kochen bringen

following the big success of their debut release >metro gold< berlin based resident dj of bar 25 red robin and format b member jakob hilden have come up with a very hitty and unorthodox big production as a follow up. the two club tracks of the upcoming >tales ep< are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. made out of pure power. >lazy jack< the a-side is another monster of a track. it holds the dark berlin side of techno, with its droning noises and delays. it reminds us a bit of chicago techno house at its best, but this is just one facetted of the track. it gets its other enthusiastic crazy over the top and emotional side from the whistle melody which sets in half way through the track. this leading sequenced is such a catchy tune that its sure to be heard in all mayor berlin clubs and eventually all around the globe. the b-side track >tin soldier< is a marching techno tune, with a cool slight swing programming in the rhythm and drugged out chords. creating a ghost town atmosphere, transforming the club into another >futureworld<

was bei >metza< anfangs noch als schleichfahrt durchgeht, wird im laufe der umdrehungen immer mehr zum strahler. >citric< dagegen tritt selbstbewusst & forsch auf den plan

zwei alte hasen aus italien hauen hier recht maximal in die minimalkerbe. funky & bewegungsfreudig mit rasanten bassläufen gipfelt die maxi schliesslich im sample: >everybody get on the disco-bus !< tja humor haben sie ja, die beiden..

>just wanna get down< von der ersten audio werner auf trapez ltd bekommt hier seinen feinschliff !! einmal vom macher selbst und einmal von guido schneider

dominik eulberg & gabriel ananda pays tribute to south africans shane berry !! bomb alert !

shane berry ist der stammgast unter den trapez ltd künstlern. majestätisch gleitet er auf dicken basswogen durch die technowelt und lässt die zukunft hinter sich

ryan crossan aka berg nixon vermischt den detroit sound mit europäischen einflüssen und bleibt mit dieser platte nicht nur magda s liebling

sehr lautmalerischer minimalpop mit pferden, füchsen und allem pipapo. plus ein langer, darker minimalsmasher auf der b-seite

shane berry versteht es, einflüsse aus analoger, gemorhpter und modulierter musik mit moderner laptop musik zu vereinen. dazu ein >mund auf, augen zu< break und die platte ist geritzt

der hartchef soulman mit seinem zweiten auswärtsspiel bei trapez ltd. grooviger, schillernder detroit in vollem effekt

mit eleganz, groove & den passenden ravesignalen machen die trenton betreiber auf sich aufmerksam

der detroiter ryan crosson setzt auf auf deepe basslines, und hyperaktive rhythmische sounds und haucht damit der legendenstadt neues leben ein

der mann aus dublin scheint den groove mit löffeln zu fressen. von akufig bis dubby geht es ähnlich zu wie auf seinem letzten traum release

schon überraschend welche talente sich in slowenien finden lassen. trapez ltd's härteseter release bisher macht uns den rasenmäher mann!

rhythmisch verzweigte & bassaktive tools, die wunderbar jede clubnacht ausstrahlen

benefizplatte für popnebo dem nach einem gig sein laptob geklaut wurde. dafür legt er sich mit eclat & dadableep so richtig ins zeug

ein mann der bereits auf r&s , tresor, teknotika, pure plastic, bipolar, co-lette, re-load, m?ller & sur muzique ver¸ffentlich hat wei? was er tut. funktionale qualit§t par excellence in einer elektroiden techno & einer minimalen pop version.

tiefer minimal aus marseille. grundgut und ?berdurchschnittlich. trapez ltd h§lt das hohe level
