next sure-shot from the berlin boys plasmik – the success that these two brothers have already had with their first release >eight to nine< and their remix for ripperton is impressing. licensings for steve bugs fuse sampler, loco dices time warp mix and jamie jones get lost mix are just a selection of their current achievements. furthermore, they will release an exclusive track on crosstown rebels. the crowd and the djs love their style. inspired by us-techno cuts from the middle of the 90ies, they transfer and interpretation of this sound into today. with their newest release, they raised their understanding of dance music to a new level. pitch it is a dubby house track with pitched piano elements and a catchy hookline. this outstanding tune, which is already in heavy rotation, was licensed for claude vonstroke s mixmag mix.

incl harmonic lovely anja schneider rmx !! plasmik are the brothers roman and marcel fritz. both originate from black forests finest city freiburg, located close to the swiss border. the time came, when both went different ways but now in 2006 the brothers hooked up with each other again in berlin and continued where they stopped ten years before. since then they are on the quest for that timeless sound, which fascinated both in their musical past so lastingly. the first results of their promising reanimated collaboration are the tracks >eight to nine< and <ahead>

schöne remix compilation (3x12 inch) mit housigem touch

big with: laurent garnier, lee burridge, losoul, funk d’void, peace division, kiki, manuel tur, stimming, quarion, afrilounge, h.o.s.h, alex attias, jesse rose, dubshape, alex flitsch, patrice baumel,... big one !!

goldfish und der dulz are now dropping a bomb that will outshine the others these two awsome guys are cooking up their next soup on dessous recordings. 13 klaenge, is a dark, spooky track, catchy and hypnotic, and takes you on a real psycho trip. warm sounds on a cold tight beat, a hihat from somewhere beyond and a melody that sticks in your head for hours. chirocco is housey and definitely focussed on the floor with sharp pushing hihats and a weird melody

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

jamie jones hört sich an wie dave clarke in seiner red- series, aber auf minimal getrimmt. sehr solide sache!!

ripperton released amazing records on famous labels like planet e, wagon repair. for our last release on connaisseur in 2006, he saved two outstanding tunes. >tainted words< is a killer club hymn combining two mesmerizing parts. >tainted words (plasmik rmx)< is deeper than the mariana trench. plasmik, our new boy wonders from berlin, grab the outstanding original, vivisect it and recompose it into a deep underwater journey. a must for lovers of deep detroitish cuts. >farra< is far more than a track. ripperton specially dedicated this one to his family and his closest circle of friends. a very personal and pleasant soundtrip, more a song than a track – a short emotional story teller
