smallpeople presents their new beautiful album >afterglow<

2018 repress in black double hole sleeve. roaming are christopher rau and moomin as a team.. do we need to say more? believe in reflecting is a result of a spontaneous jam-session in berlin, without the intention to start a new project. but meanwhile the boys already played some phenomenal livesets together and it works perfectly. smallville co-owners smallpeople aka dionne & julius steinhoff step in with a trippy remix on b1.

2018 repress in original artwork! the debut album of these two young lads with baseball hats not only honours and delves into a sound that already peaked some fifteen years ago, it also hones and elevates it, without ever falling into the reynoldsmania trap (please see retromania for further reference) or being old gold retold. and this is all oh-so-clear from the very start: the fine flutes of >when its there< go straight to your heart and they do so without any self-mockery or hipster smiles as much as the gasping 303-sounds, chirping birds and healing dx-like bass sounds a few tracks later do. >salty days< - an allusion not to grim times, but to a certain members adoration for the crystalline mineral - is blessed with a coherence that isnt samey, with tradition that isnt leaden and a feeling that is pure.

2 raw beauties from tv.out and smallpeople, produced in the owls room, hamburg. plus hypnotic-stripped back borrowed identity rework- don t sleep!

from the great success of smallvilles first label compilation >and suddenly its morning< a new deephouse collective evolved: the smallpeople aka dionne, steinhoff & hammouda, jaques le bon and christopher rau. hanging at their record store, djing together and exchanging beats and samples made the lovely hamburg house gang around smallville owners julius steinhoff and just von ahlefeld (aka dionne) an new source of deepest club culture. due to their large output jus ed from bridgeport ny signed another 12inch of the smallpeople for his underground quality imprint to come out right after their amazing debut on laid recordings.

incl julius steinhoff version (smallville) ...telfort returns with a third 12inch on his own imprint, following the aptly titled debut in a good place and stellar follow-up lickety split. his best yet, the edinburgh-based producer drops the evocative and soul-stirring soon i will embark on a journey, with its immense, alluring melody and downright addictive grooves. on the flip, the hazy and hypnotic æuntil nowÆ takes us further on the journey with its shimmering textures and mesmeric flow, radiating warmth through mind-soothing chords and gritty percussion. further on, we hear a reinterpretation from julius steinhoff, co-founder of smallville records and half of smallpeople. serene and smooth but equally stomping and floor-ready, the melancholic strings and trickling percussion slowly develop and captivate in a sublime and entirely fitting rework.

johannes albert is running a record label since 5 fun years and 20 releases. releasing his own music on vinyl but also his mates stuff. from achterbahn damour to smallpeople via jeremiah, from fred p and lauer remixes back to french youngsters ralph & larry houl. so frank will celebrate this anniversary among life & happiness early 2016 with two twelche inches and a lousy tour. starting with the lamest of all johannes himself to be followed by a bulky rework by oskar offermann. flipside ticks in with heartbreaker phillip lauer and his bottomless love for all things lohret. markus mutzenbacher hailing from würzburg in southern germany a djs dj manages to drop his first track ever. after only 15 years of being a dj. this guy is an inspiration.

in the ever-expanding universe of deep house, julius steinhoff is far from being a stranger. half of the dynamic duo smallpeople, founder and one of the steersmen behind hamburgs smallville empire (record store/ label/ party curator around the globe) as well as a producer and dj in his own right, steinhoff is closely associated with a group of like-minded people that unite fresh ideas and individualism with a certain consciousness of tradition.

endlich! nach unfassbar tollen konzerten folgt nun ein erster tonträger des duos viktor marek und ashraf sharif khan. der eine nicht umsonst als der >madlib von der waterkant< gefeiert, der andere aus einer sitar-spieler-dynastie in pakistan durch zufall in hamburg-city gelandet. zusammen produzieren sie einen sitar-getriebenen clubstep, der alle länder, völker, ja beide gehirnhälften ein für alle mal vereinigt! auf dieser maxi befinden sich neben den zwei originalstücken remixe vom legendären britischen dub/ step/ uk garage/ drum & bass-vater benny ill aka horsepower productions und dem hamburger kollektiv small people um die smallville-gang. ein must have

further to motor city drum ensembles dj kicks compilation, his exclusive single l.o.v.e. has been reworked by the young detroit prodigy kyle hall, the painter and music creator wolfgang voigt and an excellent remix by smallpeople. kyle has been highly influenced and captivated by the underground deep house sound of detroit. inspired by artists such as theo parrish, mike huckaby, rick wade, 3 chairs, kdj and omar s, who believe their music has a certain feeling of the advant garde and liberation from the so-called rules people place upon dance music. kyle took that principle of their music and applied it to music that he was trying to create. wolfgang voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects and aliases. of these, his best known is arguably >gas< a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno. his remix of motor citys l.o.v.e shows his minimalistic approach to music he has been famed for worldwide. smallpeople are julius steinhoff & just von ahlefeld aka dionne. smallpeople are focused on a wider range of music and can be diverse- between deep house, detroit techno and some chicago flavours but always within the balance of atmospheric warmth and club suitability bringing yet another perfect addition to this remix package. watch out for more big tunes from smallpeople in the near future

when the smallville record store was founded in 2005, people were surprised and regarded it as an experiment. everybody discussed the downfall of vinyl sales and the upcoming market of downloads these days. just a bunch of people regarded record shops, vinyl labels and wonderful warm sounding clubs as the places of true magic. smallvilles finest stefan marx, who is responsible for all artwork-related things and therefore the visual impact that smallville always had, got a call once at night from another one of those dreamers and activists, ata macias. he came up with the fabulous idea to create a standard 12inch cover saying: vinyl kills mp3.

mit traumwandlerischer sicherheit schlŠgt lawrence einen bogen Ÿber 16 jahre gelebter clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische hier und jetzt aus dem auge zu verlieren oder auch nur eine spur in anachronistischer nostalgieseligkeit zu verfallen. stattdessen gehen unter seinen sensiblen hŠnden meilensteine des minimierten deep house wie >forever monna< von chez damier, ron trent und stacey pullen (1995) oder der 99er clubhit >overcome< von thomas melchior/baby ford mit kontemporŠren intensiven detroit-techno-hommagen wie smallpeople & raus >life aquatic<, delano smiths >my life< oder pigons traumhafter >koto<-dubtech-romanze von der 10 jahre dial-compilation auf wunderbare weise zusammen. au§erdem mit dabei sind so bekannte namen wie aril brikha, isolŽe, das ifach collective und robert hood, bevor roman flŸgels auf duran durans >save a prayer< basierendes meisterwerk >brian le bon< und das kristalline >oi< von plaids klassikeralbum >not for threes< (warp) den wehmŸtigen schlussakkord setzen. lawrences mix atmet hier jedenfalls die gelassenheit eines lichtdurchfluteten sonntagmorgens zwischen modernistischer gro§stadt und waldlichtung und gibt so seinem globalen kŸnstlerischen ansatz die passende dimension
