We're happy to announce the fourth chapter of our sought-after Outbound series which also marks Lossless' second release in 2020. After two extended chapters of Outbound, fully showcasing our labels artist roster, Outbound.4 is a crisp double A-Side affair - featuring two killer Techno workouts courtesy of our French stalwart Anthony George Patrice followed up by two Deep/Dub House delights delivered by Son Dos.

Without a doubt, Berlin based frenchman Anthony George Patrice steadily adjusted and developed his sound to a higher level over the last years. His contribution on Side A - "DBZU (Eine Brücke Zum Übermenschen)" and "Crowned Eagle" exposing new artistic shades and Anthony's ability to take you on a sonic journey and soak you into his rich and driving deeper Techno soundscapes.

Side AA belongs to Son Dos - a creative power plant by two Sweden born men: Barcelona based Marco Gegenheimer and Tapia J. Arriagada living in Malta. The duo already caused a stir with their debut "Children Of Almost" on Outcast Oddity. Marco also released some great music on Studio Barnhus as one half of MLiR!
On our Outbound.4 the guys showcase two amazing cuts originated from fruitful studio jams.

The beautiful "Cala" is hypnotizing us in deep, meditative balearic territories while her powerful brother "Maffio" might have had a little testosterone injection along the way and moves us straight onto the dancefloor. Both tunes are capable to unveil their power outdoors just as much as they will in a sweaty basement!

Son Dos quoting on Anthony George Patrice's tracks:
"These songs sound like a Movie score to us, a soundtrack taking you further and further into an unexplored forest: ...you are on a mission ... chugging drums, haunting strings and rolling percussion guide you... your heartbeat intensifies, with each step that you take...
all of a sudden, the floor underneath you turns into flowing geometrical patterns and you start falling...
a voice tells you "Happiness Is A Miisunderstanding", and the fear you had leaves your mind...you connect yourself with a higher power and realise why you started this mission in the first place"

Anthony George Patrice quoting on Son Dos tracks:
"Lovely balearic yet powerful atmosphere on "Cala"… Head flies and shoes get used. All that you wish for!" ...
"Hands in the air for "Maffio"! Here comes the peaktime booming system. Simple, efficient yet super interesting and deeply rooted dance floor killer. This is ace!

a selection of 4 great house tracks on 1 record !!

One of Sonic Groove's longest standing label artists, Realmz returns with an infectious well rounded four cut extended EP entitled 'Mindfold'. Straight out of Pittsburgh the steel city capital of the USA Realmz has been involved in electronic music since the last decade of the 20th century. Growing up on a steadfast diet of Industrial/EBM/IDM/Detroit techno and Drum & Bass, Realmz has taken inspiration from these many underground forms of electronic music. In his signature style, the Sci-fi sound design on 'Mindfold' weaves it's way in an out of bleak futuristic overtones set across a multitude of uniquely written broken beat and 4/4 drum rhythms. This heavily thought provocative & extremely well produced, contemporary Industrial Techno EP is a must for any aficionado of the genre.

Renato Cohen has remade his Pontape original eleven years on, bringing new life to one of techno's classic records.

Beginning with the immediately recognisable droning bass line that has become so synonymous with the release, Cohen introduces a build during the middle section that gives the track a new depth second time around. Alan Fitzpatrick has been selected for remix duties, adding a contemporary twist to this classic track by retaining the original hook-line using the drone in the breaks but adding his own synth-stab to bring a new and interesting dimension to the track.

We are happy to announce our next release which is coming from RR. He is running the vinyl label Story About You from his homebase Bielefeld and he's the first ''external'' artist on our platform. The 003 is a classical house 4-tracker with a modern twist, containing quite different vibes. Expect a wide stylistic range between the peak time bomb on A1, the acid-spiced stomper on A2 and the flipside, which brings the charming roots-oriented house motives to that special release. B1 was created in collaboration with studio partner Biroll, who provided that lovely piano. The artwork is contributed by Madlen Strebel from Mainz this time.

Pink Vinyl

The first of a series of releases celebrating The Fallen Entertainers - each record featuring music from established artists under a nom de plome in order to let the music do the talking.

Volker.live ’s debut and final release
“My Love Will Set You Free” Final release? We see the question mark popping up over your head. Well yes, these four tracks are a time capsule, a historic cache which takes you back to one hot summer of 2019. When this care-free boy band formed and made it their goal to climb up the world’s stages to play an all-hardware live set & have f.u.n. while doing so. This endeavor went swimmingly. Festival gigs were pocketed and crowds intrigued. The stand-out track of their gigs was always “My Love Will Set You Free”, an acid-house stomper with uplifting, yet melancholic vocals from their friend ÆN.
Friends and neighbors were quick to re-interpret the song and the idea of a record took shape.
Lehult’s Lucky Charmz propels the listener into the void by upping the acidity. Closing in on a playtime of 10 minutes, we’re readily giving up our sense for time and space. Whirring drum hits meet feedbacking tape delay while riding the rock solid bass line.
Erobique liked the song so much, he quickly drew up two versions of his own. His “Disko Mix” oozes that saccharine, danceable magic mélange of days past. Warm keys, hand claps, and Aen’s intimate voice are stirred into an exquisite cocktail. You know that Carsten Meyer would never forget the umbrella on top. He’ll keep the cherry though.
The “Black Velvet Mix” closes the curtains for a slow dance. This is personal, it’s just between you and the song. Sub rosa.
In the meantime, Volker.live decided to follow separate paths of their adventure, but everyone agreed to release these songs into the world. May they serve as a reminder of what can be created out of care-free energy that’s driven by a deep connection to music. Please check out their other musical undertakings as Echoel and Goodmemory.live .

Limited Clear Vinyl Pressing!
We are very happy to present a new series of limited releases in vinyl, called the Pattern Series. This series will consist of translucent pressings with specially designed artwork, and the first number 'Vertigo' will feature three tracks from label boss Oscar Mulero.
On the A side, the main track is 'Epley Manoeuvre', with funky components, solid drums and a repetitive synth workout which is reminiscent of classic Regis-style bleeps. This one is aimed directly for the floor.
On the B side there are two other cuts. First comes 'Gravity' flanged sequences on an hypnotic vein, sharp shaker driven percussions and a subtle but fat kick drum spiced with white noise details and 909 snares.
Closing the B side we find 'Particle Repositioning', which starts with a round kick drum and bleepy one bar sequences that are soon spiced with claps and reverb. A second percussive sequence appears after some bars, starting a rhythmic conversation until the shuffled hats and rides complete the beat.
Three abstract pieces of modern techno but with a solid step into tradition.

Everybody knows the sound of church bells — the familiar midday clang. Strongly associating this sound with religion, we hardly ever think of it as a long musical tradition. In Philipp Gorbachev’s search for new heights, it turned out that the East European Orthodox tradition of bell ringing goes far beyond religious dogma. It’s ancient, it’s sacred, and it’s unchained. It’s about liberation, unity of body and soul, and free artistic expression.

Church bell ringing has become the core musical practice for the electronic producer and performer in the last few years after a period of excessive club touring around the world. Searching for new ways to challenge and alter his physical and spiritual self, Philipp found his calling ringing bells in Moscow at St. Nicholas Church and Berlin at the Christ Resurrection Cathedral. An experienced raver and drummer himself, Gorbachev couldn’t help but build the connection between electronic synthesizers, entrancing techno loops, and the unique sonority and resonance of heavy-weight bronze bells.

The result of Philipp’s new passion is KOLOKOL. It was first released as an LP on his PG TUNE imprint in 2019 and later evolved into live stage performances, an experimental film, and a full-length documentary exploring the bell ringing tradition in godforsaken monasteries and churches across Russia. With KOLOKOL, Gorbachev proves that this practice is bound to notions of temple, solitude, spirituality, healing, and awakening which are much stronger than the church itself. ‘Hope’ and ‘salvation’ are the main words for Philipp to describe his path with bell ringing. These are also the words many ravers use when speaking of their life-changing experiences on the dance floor in the temples of powerful sound, hypnotic body movement, and endless purifying vibration. Together with his fellow bell ringers in Russia, Gorbachev took the powerful instrument outside the church to introduce this mind-altering experience in a club and concert setting.

The series of remixes by Gorbachev’s fellow musicians is another extension of the KOLOKOL mindset toward the club environment; a call for his friends from the techno world to accept and interpret Philipp’s journey of affirmation, focus, and fulfillment. When the time is right again, the remixes of main tracks from Gorbachev’s most recent album will fill the sweaty vibrating dance floors where everybody is searching for their own temple, hoping for a purifying catharsis of body and soul.

We’re putting out the first Mister Saturday Night Records release in a long while. It’s by Russell E.L. Butler, and it’s called “Blah Blah”. The record comes out on Friday, September 4, and it contains three tracks made in Prague at the Synthesizer Library and one track made in Russell’s pre-New York home in Oakland.

On the EP’s release date Sept 4th, which is Bandcamp Day, all of the Mister Saturday Night Records share of Bandcamp proceeds from the release will go to Princess Janae Place, an organization that provides referrals to housing for chronically homeless LGBTQ adults in the New York Tri-state area, with direct emphasis on Trans/GNC people of color.

The vinyl release, designed by Boot Boyz Biz, includes a poster featuring these words from Russell:

What are my dreams when they are spoken into real space? Are they statements centering my desires? Are they indictments to hold myself accountable to my vision of life?

My consciousness is meandering and at times I celebrate this drone of words. Stripped of meaning, to reveal what’s beneath. Not an answer, but further questions. The purpose of the mantra is to quiet the conscious mind until the spirit takes over.

Place is important. It grounds the abstract in our humanity. These things came from somewhere. Many places. To culminate into one. Connecting them all. And creating something entirely new. Not an answer, but more questions.

„What binds you to places? To remembering them.

Places you can feel, when you feel at home. Places that affirm your very existence.

This place for me is the Oderbruch. This album is dedicated to it.“

– R.P.

The fifth studio album by Shed aka Rene Pawlowitz centers thematically on the Oderbruch region in former East Germany where the producer and DJ grew up and continues to split his time (when not in Berlin.) Both the album and track titles as well as the artwork by Arnim Tölke Ectoplasma (Oderbruch) reflect Pawlowitz’s deeply personal associations with the borderland’s marshy landscape, as well as enormous political and historical changes the region underwent as the last Eastern front during World War II – and, later, following the dissolution of the GDR.
Nevertheless, Oderbruch is not a concept album. Instead, it’s an ambivalent ode to the area in which Pawlowitz’s family has lived for generations. It’s a musical reflection on place and personal history: meeting up at the local gas station, a view to the water, techno rattling the closed windows of cars peeling out toward Berlin or the next local party, cruising along rural parkways flanked by trees with fruit ripe for picking, past weeping willows and abandoned factories where industry once thrived. Outside buzzes with the sounds of nature inextricably linked with childhood memories, but also a landscape defined by the bloody defeat of the Nazis at the Battle of Seelow, ushering in the fall of Berlin and with it, the entire fascist regime.
The album’s nine tracks are inspired by the intertwined nature of the subjective and historical,
which ring through Shed’s idiosyncratic take on breaks, bass, techno, symphonic ventures, ambient and hardcore. But unlike Shed’s previous records, Oderbruch incorporates broad pastoral landscapes – left behind and returned to.
Both fit Shed, who under various aliases (Head High, Hoover, Wax, The Higher, WK7, Equalized, The Traveller) has long influenced a number of dance music scenes in Berlin and beyond.


Was sucht Orte aus, die einen binden? An die man erinnert.

Die man fühlt, wo man sich wohl fühlt. Die, die die eigene Existenz bestätigen.

Dieser, mein Ort ist das Oderbruch. Diesem Ort ist dieses Werk gewidmet.“

– R.P.

Oderbruch, das fünfte Album des Berliner Producers Shed, verhandelt einer klaren Linie folgend – Album- und Tracktitel, Artwork des Malers Arnim Tölke (Ectoplasma (Oderbruch), 1999, Acryl auf Leinwand) betreffen Sheds Zweitwohnsitz – persönliche und weitergedacht auch historische Assoziationen einer Region Ostdeutschlands, die als Marschland, Frontlinie und Grenzgebiet viel Wandel erfuhr.

Gemeint ist aber kein inhaltlich konzeptuelles Album oder regionales Standortmarketing, sondern eine ambivalente Ode auf das Oderbruch, nahe dem René Pawlowitz aufwuchs und in dem für ihn mehrere Generationen Familiengeschichte wurzeln. Das bedeutet: kein heimatlicher Lobgesang, sondern musikalisches Abbild persönlicher Biografie und historischer Ereignisse – der Treff an der Tanke, am Ufer mit Blick auf's Wasser, Techno aus dem Autoradio während der langen Fahrt zur nächsten Party, entlang streuobstbehängter Alleen, Trauerweiden und darbender Industriegebiete. Dazu gehören aber auch die konkreten Naturklänge, Kindheitserinnerungen und Orts-Geschichte, wie der Beginn des Untergangs der NS-Zeit in der Schlacht um die Seelöwer Höhen, die das Bruch für immer prägten.

So sind die neun instrumentalen Stücke als Tropen für kollektive Erfahrungen und Sehnsüchte entlang der einzigartig zusammengeführten Achsen Breaks, Bass, Techno, Jagdhornsinfonik, Ambient und Hardcore zu verstehen. Mehr als je zuvor gleitet Pawlowitz’ Musik in eine klangliche Umschreibung landschaftlicher Weite, was auch bestens als musikalische Parabel für Szenen in der Stadt und auf dem Land taugt. Locals nah und fern, die Shed in den vergangenen 16 Jahren als Live-Act, DJ, Labelbetreiber, Plattenhändler und Producer mitgeprägt hat.

Auf wenige trifft Letzteres so zu wie auf Pawlowitz alias Head High, Hoover, Wax, The Higher, WK7, Equalized, The Traveller ... Shed ist dabei Pawlowitz' bekanntestes Pseudonym, mit dem der gebürtige Brandenburger 2003 auf seinem eigenen Label Soloaction und 2008 auf Ostgut Ton debütierte.

The Swiftness continues with Bucharest based act Heerd, as we are letting our imagination run through space with the speed of light, leaving our captive bodies behind. As we prepare to venture into the unknown , we start off with STANDARD ORBIT, a calming yet energetic thrust that passes though time and space. We then drive past the infamous SOYUZ 40 capsule , a relic which envisions man's desire to reach for the stars. We also encounter the only blue planet with evidence of life. Upon entering its atmosphere we can feel the strong magnetic pull of the PULSAR SWING. After landing on this newly discovered world , we notice light particles behave differently from what we used to see back on Earth. The ultraviolet rays pass through a REFRACTION layer in the atmosphere.

The Legend arrives on wewillalwaysbealovesong with a magnificent 4 track EP.

The Nic Fanciulli remixes of the Club Classic !!

Bournemouth-UK based Record Label focusing on the darker roots breaks side of Jungle and Drum & Bass Music.
The Rotation Audio Record Label has been founded through love and dedication to electronic music. Rotation will aim to showcase some of the rawest, well known and underground talent, in the Drum & Bass and Jungle scene with forthcoming releases from the likes of DJinn, Mono, & Overlook, focussing on the darker roots breaks side of the music. Our first release brings you two massive names in the game right now - Sicknote and Drum Cypha.

Sicknote's 'Someday' creates an emotional journey through high defined musical gestures portraying life's cycle until you eventually reach the light. Rolling drum breaks throughout the track build a progressive movement until the bassline and vocal takes hold on the drop. A belter in the form of a beauty of a track from the man like Sicknote.

Drum Cypha's 'Centaurs' is another hard hitting track. Atmospheric sustained melodies lead to rolling crunchy amens that pave way to a breakdown where the second drop lifts off and hits you right in the face. The track has a Sci Wax feel about it and is a serious club banger bound to get the crowd rolling. Amen smasher from the main man Drum Cypha.

TELUM returns with its 6th episode of the label. Worldwide support from Raresh, Petre Inspirescu, Cap, Praslea, Barac, SIT, Gescu, Priku, Arapu, Mihigh, Mihai Pol, Cosmjn and more

As a producer who is strongly influenced by many fragments of the arts spectrum, starting from music itself, to film, art, design, Kamran Sadeghi’s first Amphia LP represents the artist’s dialogue with music and its depths. Between 2014 and 2017, Kamran has experimented with many different ideas, moods and musical excercises which build up a track sequence as an invitation to explore the melodic ritual and use their imagination to create their own meanings.
 


The openers “More than tomorrow” and “Today” are subtly mingled, suggesting the alternation between the future and the present through a sound focused motif. “Water Me” and “Who New” are introducing Side B, briefly triggering a rediscovery process. The atmospheric aesthetic of the LP is emphasized as the third side elaborates the meaning of a “Rise” during a “May Day”, a soulful connection with enlightenment. When reaching the last side, “Surface” and “Decay” are closing the melodic ritual, with the signals slowly fading as an escapism.

The Mangue Labelheads are pushing forward and proove that the label has a pretty unique sound - straight and very melodical. And again they welcome Microtrauma (Traum Schallplatten, Microtonal)
for another hot remix. Played & supported by Stephan Bodzin, Alexi Delano, Gabriel Ananda, Paco Osuna, Daniel Sanchez, Anderson Noise, NTFO, Oscar and many more.

Julien Chaptal is an electronic assembly — part French electronics, part Detroit synth machine, and part Dutch minimal robot (as part of MFD, Le Clic and Amsterdam661). Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien’s performances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human.
Chaptal's newest record, The Way, was conceived after a few too many knobs were turned on his Octatrack, sending Julien tumbling through time and space to capture decades worth of dance floor musical influence before returning home. Recorded live along the journey — on stage, by boat, and in a camper van — The Way’s hypnotic tracks are an intimate look at the intricate circuitry composing the logic behind electronic music, showcasing where it has come, where it is now, and where it will travel to in the future.

4th release from Foamplate's Plantpower label.

Luminer is back on Artreform with an incredible deep house release! This vinyl contains 3 original tracks: Down Sweep, Last Romantics and Nine Tails. The EP also contains a fantastic remix of Down Sweep by our very in demand brother Silat Beksi! We are enormously happy to present this wonderful release to our followers. Enjoy your vinyl only copy!

We are overjoyed to announce the next candidate for our label-catalogue after Kerri Chandlers 'The Watergate Files' EP. New Watergate resident Matthias Meyer was recently added to our booking agency - his debut on Watergate Records is called 'Becuz' and hereby it immediately answers every potential question. The eponymous Track has the atmospheric density of an approaching storm front that discharges into epic organ-hooks and shredded vocals. Appropriate to that the B-side begins with 'November Rain", a beat-driven techno-anthem with foggy synth-spheres and 'closed eyes"-attitude. Mario Basanovs a.k.a. Ten Walls' interpretation has more contours and a percussive touch that keeps the mood of the original unchanged: November rain in a tropical rainforest. An astonishing EP with two great tracks and a wonderful remix. 'Becuz' EP will be released on May 12th on vinyl and digital.

Pluie/Noir's close admiration for the land of the rising sun and its artists is not new. Having released two very solid EP's from veterans Radiq and Fumiya Tanaka in the past, the imprint drives its attention to Japan once again, this time to showcase the work of the young and talented Berlin-based artist Yuzo Iwata
Already established as a valuable and passionate organizer and DJ in Japan's music scene, Yuzo's 'Kiteki EP' is his first vinyl output after his move to Berlin, and a perfect showcase of his skills in story-telling, musical composition, and sonic wizardry. True Story (Kyakushoku Mix)' (A1) is the EP's melodic behemoth:
spanning through all sorts of emotional states, 'True Story' is a piece that's as 'cinematographic sci-fi' as it is 'early-morning club', especially due to its very particular movement of tension and release. "Night Train" (B1) is the set piece of Yuzo's story about locomotion: a hypnosis-inducing, constantly moving musical
translation of a night-time train ride through Japan, with a dubby deep low-end that constantly reminds the listener to keep moving. 'Ueno' (B2) is the last track of the EP and also the name of a train station in Tokyo, which (not) coincidently
is the last station from multiple regions in Japan since a long time. Here, like a chameleon, Yuzo shows his versatility as a producer capable of bending musical genres where groove and sonic engagement are key to success.
The release was visually interpreted by the Japanese painter Mamoru Kondo through a traditional and highly special technique of rock painting mixed with animal glue, translating Yuzo's musical train into a unique graphical work.

Limited Pressings.
