popnonames change is the perfect pop song to sing along to and soundtrack a change in you.

following a string of contributions for kompakts pop ambient series jens-uwe beyer aka popnoname joins the kompakt pop stable with a truly remarkable tune that is destined to bring him to a broader audience - hello gorgeous finds itself somewhere between the classic sound of kompakt and the pet shop boys. hello gorgeous sounds likes it was produced in lavish place where rave and indie meet on the dance floor. and all throughout, the song is harmoniously carried together by beyers powerful vocals. popnoname provides a upbeat le klub remix tightening the techno up a notch or 5. the big news is that terranova step in for remix duties - legends in their own right fetisch and me have been an institution in the music scene since the 80s so we are excited to have their exceptional contribution - they turn hello gorgeous into a cracking jack house number.

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

2. teil der popnoname album 12inch vinyl serie auf italic und repräsentiert die club seite von surrounded by weather mit den instrumentalen und tanzbaren stücken perspective und crack und einem neuen mix von the movement. die a-seite perspective ist das herausragende krautige disco stück des albums und bezieht seine energie aus improvisation und tiefe und klingt wie ein morgenspaziergang durch den nassen deutschen wald. das radikale crack ist das strengste stück des albums mit seiner monotonen stroboskophaftigkeit und der harten ekstatischen tanzbarkeit. doch auch hier deutet sich duch die flächen ein hauch von zartheit an. den abschluss der ep bildet the movement im neuen >revolution mix<. der mix beginnt flächig mit vereinzelten gitarren bass sequenzen, der federnde beat unterstützt dabei die dramaturgie des stückes und der gesang verdeutlicht noch einmal den pop- appeal von popnoname. der ideale soundtrack, um das 70er kraut gefühl mit dem 90er techno gefühl zu verbinden und heute neu erstrahlen zu lassen

the field, tennishero & picious mit einladenden remixen die in erster linie für den dancefloor gemacht sind, darüber hinaus aber den indie sektor bereichern. unkonventionell & stark

popnoname gilt als einer der grossen exzentriker der kölner elektronik. sein neues album mäandert gekonnt zwischen den polen house-not-house, funktionalem techno und klassischem singer/songwriter material. scheinbar mühelos fügt er all dies zusammen zu einer unterhaltsamen reise durch die stile und epochen

acht herrliche perlen die einen nicht unberührt lassen & trotzdem sehr prima funktionieren im gnadenlosen zirkus des clubs- und dancefloor-diktats

groove sagt: popnoname hat ein faible für das grosse drama - und das ist ihm mit >no doubt< auch gelungen. was als techno-ballade beginnt, löst sich zu einer der euphorischsten rave-hymnen der letzten zeit auf, die markant stotternde hookline dürfte man so schnell nicht vergessen. hit

this lovely gent from cologne returns to italic. with credits, popnoname takes the classic approach to cologne techno, embracing the aspects of pop and techno wholeheartedly with romance and addicted to night

popnoname klingt immer irgendwie bekannt aber doch anders. 6 musikalische besonderheiten in allen facetten. von gerade über verstrahlt über poppig bis zum songwriter track. kein wunder, dass holden popnoname mag

>you are popnoname< ist techno mit geschmack, rave mit gutem benehmen und gar nicht weit von der border community baustelle entfernt

firm sorgt weiterhin für eine frische brise. popnoname bringt es eskapadisch angerockt & melodisch auf den punkt!

zweites album des koelners, der hiermit seine soundstrukturen noch einmal verfeinert und auf besondere weise traditionelle instrumente und gesang mit referenzen zu pop und krautrock auf technobasis verbindet.

with -nekromant- the labelheads avidus are back on empore music, to present their darker side. the original consists of powerful arpeggiators rolling on a triplet-beat with a trancy vibe. the remix from jens-uwe beyer, formerly known as popnoname and as the curator of the label magazine, delivers a dreamy remix from the original with nice organic percussive elements. berlin based sebastian voigt, who has been making waves with his release on outcast oddity, completes the remixes with a straightened interpretation of the original back to a 4 to the floor beat, even adding even more drive and power if compared to the original. the ep comes full circle with a beatless -synthapella- from the original.

nice price deal !!! italic s neuentdeckung kommt erfrischend oldschoolig daher. acid house modern verpackt & ein popnoname remix für dein sonnenaufgang set

as one third of the founding trio of revered cologne imprint magazine, jens-uwe beyer has become an obvious choice for any adept of open-minded electronic music, both through releases such as the one-track-one-hour manifesto red book (magazine 008), several contributions to our pop ambient compilation series or inspired remixes for barnt, dream weapons and others. besides this being the same mastermind as the one behind the ongoing popnoname brand, you wouldn t expect upcoming the emissary to actually be a debut, but it is, for it s the very first time that we re treated to a full-length offering under the artists real name.

oid is the solo project of russian producer andrei antonets who is set to release his latest track bright side of life on pnn records 13/07/2015 born in riga and having lived in berlin, oid is now based in moscow, where he is inspired by the citys rapidly changing scene. bright side of life translates a sense of potential, it is upbeat without being commercial. the tracks singular sound has prompted the field, popnoname & j.p janzen (von spar) and mujuice all to produce remixes which will appear on the ep alongside the original. each of these deliver a unique take on this uncommon yet catchy tune.

as idle hands reaches its 30th release, it gives us great pleasure to welcome rising talent matt karmill to the fold. to date matt has delivered a strong body of work to labels such as beats in space and yume, as well as dropping the cryptically titled - - - - album on popnoname’s pnn label last year. this three track ep marks his first appearance on the idle hands roster after earning his stripes on the shelves of the shop, and he will be following this record up with an album for us later in the year. the hooky leftfield house constructions on play it continue the thread of adventurous releases idle is championing in 2015, following strategy’s seeds of paradise lp and leif’s broken beat excursions. with a balance struck between experimentation and satisfaction, matt has delivered a record that continues the all important tradition of timeless music that the label always strives for.

an idea who’s time has clearly come, moon rock volume 1 struck a nerve upon release last spring. a collection of deeply atmospheric ambience, cosmic, and chillout techno, it was the opening salvo in a much longer-term effort by nyc-based throne of blood recordings to establish a platform for a diverse collection of friends and musical fellow travellers to explore composing music for folding time and exploring innerspace. now, just months after vol. 1 hit shelves, moon rock volume 2 is upon us…

huge atmospheric club no club tracks here with help by famous jazz drummer wolgang haffner and jens (popnoname).

this 12 inch with remixes from popnoname, korablove, gorje hewek and khz is a tribute to moscows synth pop and new wave shooting star pompeya. the bands music sounds so fresh and well produced that we couldnt not notice and thus we had our pro-tez artists remix it for your listening pleasure. as a result we are proud to present a remix single which offers a house, a disco, a dub and a synth pop version of the original hit >90<. pompeyas music might be compared to musical styles of death cab for cutie and postal service but it has their exhilarating original sound to it. we present a killer remix single from the forthcoming album >tropical<. listen!

the buzz has been around for some time, but now its getting real! the recently created cologne label magazine will release its debut record >cologne tape.< until now, they have made their appearances almost hidden, but it might not be too far-fetched to refer to them as a kind of supergroup: cologne tape are ada, axel willner (the field), joerg burger (modernist, burger & voigt), philipp janzen (von spar), john stanier (battles), jens-uwe beyer (popnoname)

after three digital-only releases polytone switches to vinyl and has signed new tracks from andreas heiszenberger for its first 12 inch release. heiszenberger has enjoyed great success last year with his release on brut! and links to the atmosphere and beat structure of his predecessor here. for polytone heiszenberger also relies on cool syncopated grooves and his heavy trademark beats as well as abstract pads which mingle with sweet harmonies and his laconic vocal snippets.the record is crowned with a great remix by popnoname who has just scored a hit with his new album on italic. of course, popnoname leaps at heiszenbergers harmonies, but also comes up with a really big surprise in the middle of the remix! cool, well-rounded record and a strong start of the vinyl business for polytone.
