The label 'Play Groove' by Sebastian Ledher, has grown in the digital market steadily in recent years, since it emerged to become one of the most respected Minimal Deep Tech labels on the scene. It has given visibility to new emerging talents and not just big names.

Now they want to show their most exquisite and underground, confirming their prolific inspiration when it comes to their personal label.

The Colombian DJ and producer, presents a tremendous Various Artist in side A. We found Sebastian Ledher and Alex Ground. On the side B. Unknown Collective and Daniel Meister.

Taking 4 quality cuts to create a versatile Vinyl, once again demonstrating his skills in the studio, is also showing us his most artistic part with his artwork for the cover, with this initiative seeks to capture that magical connection between music and the art. This nuanced fusion of intellect makes it an innovative product, inspires the senses and creates memorable sensory experiences. It is precisely what Sebastian Ledher wants to achieve.

In the Various Artist, we will find new talents as well as some well-known names, a collection that goes from the Microhouse with deep / minimal touches. With a polished and blunt bass line. That surround with their elegant and minimalist groove, the tracks are focus on the groovy, which sounds along with deep synthesizers and with a light touch of acid, and atmospheres of pads and sequences of celestial chords that filter into the mix, together with heavy drums contrasted by light snares and voices that come and go with obscenely hypnotic LFO games, that complement them superbly. The tracks are a roller coaster of emotions.

The latest release on microcastle welcomes Brian Cid back to the label for a brand new EP. The US artist last appeared on the Canadian imprint a year ago with his well received 'Belles Du Shaman' EP. Three diverse and uniquely organic productions along with a remix from Eagles & Butterflies saw the release reach #1 in Beatport's Electronica and Progressive House charts, while placing #4 in their overall Top 100. A subsequent release on Manjumasi, along with a stunning EP on his Endangered imprint saw Brian's music played and supported by Adriatique, Tale Of Us, Lee Burridge, John Digweed, Henry Saiz, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Joris Voorn. His Theory Of Light project with Holmar Filipsson from Thugfucker debuted with two remixes for Cityfox while a solo EP is due on the label later this year. Now making his much anticipated return to microcastle Brian presents his three track artist showcase 'Pluto', alongside a remix from Marvin & Guy. 

We have finally come to the second release of Abstrakt Minded Records. After a small period of wait, and the good success of the Herck’s remix in AMR001, the owners Friedrich Becker and Sabèr have found the right artist to propose for the new release.

Denis Kaznacheev, the owner of Nervmusic itself, seemed like the best move at this time.

With his eclectic sound he proved to be one of the best producer in the underground scene during the last years, showing technical skills that are uncommon and definitely have the power of knowing how to treat the crowd during playing.

AMR002 contains two originals, side A and side B.

Kaznacheev received total freedom in doing what he can do at his best, this is the reason why he had the possibility to spread his technical skills throughout these two long compositions, which are long enough to tell a story.

Both tracks are based on a live arrangement that gives the sense of change at every beat, and a constant moving groove.

The first track (side A) is a 14 minutes journey, starting with a sort of intro where the mysterious vocal introduces one sound at time.

Textures give life to the track, and the groovy bass is the leading part of this.

Everything is framed in a minimalistic drum pattern in a straight 4/4 rhythm, that gives a sense of hypnosis throughout the whole composition.

The second half of the track is where magic happens, and from a dark clubby sound, we get into a more floating and trippy vibe, with a melodic sound that will take you to the next level of emotions.

The second track (side B), like the first one, is such long but definitely has a slightly different vibe and feeling.
Is the perfect contemporary minimal show off. This is what listeners definitely want to hear in a club.

At this time, the rhythm is the leading part, every short and minimal percussion has a sort of swing that creates a groove that gives goosebumps. The always changing drums is what makes the track moving for 15 minutes, they never stop and they are filled with
great FXs.

In this composition the melodic part is not the principal element, however we enjoy the listening of this combination of dark stabs and glitchy sounds that put a big smile on your face, for sure.

Abstrakt Minded Records is grateful to propose this fantastic work by Denis Kaznacheev, who once again gives the proof of being one of the best artist in the industry.

On 2nd November 2018 Sven Tasnadi is back on Moon Harbour with a brand new and brilliant full length entitled Bridges'. It features a host of collaborators from Huxley to David Jach to Supernova, and showcases the German's always infectious house sound. Four of the 12 tracks will be released on an exclusive vinyl sampler, and on 5th October Sven Tasnadi serves up the tasty album single It's Your Love' with a brilliant remix from man of the moment, Dennis Cruz.

Tasnadi hails from Leipzig and is a master of groove. He distills his tunes to the core elements needed to get you moving and feeling good, and has done so over three artist albums and more than 25 EPs since 2005. For this album, though, he decided to work with a range of musical friends as a way of, he says, making a clear statement against the current worldwide trend of protectionism.'
The album is informed by the saying Build bridges, not walls', and as Sven explains, bridges bring people together. And only when we come together can we change things for the better. The house and techno scene initially attracted me 25 years ago as it was filled with people who were open-minded and versatile in nature, and I'm going to do my musical part to keep it that way.'
The album kicks off with the effortlessly cool and breezy house groover 'Nothing' with David Jach. Things get cheeky with the late night chords and rolling bass of 'My Soul' with UK master Huxley and then Italian titans Supernova appear on 'Keep Da Shit', a more edgy tech tune with smart vocal stabs to bring the energy levels higher. Sven goes solo for the feel good vibes of 'It's Your Love' with its heart aching vocal sample, and again for the tropical, exotic and melodically colourful 'Tequila' which takes us deep into the jungle. Filburt is the friendly connection on the deep, cuddly jazz keys of 'French Dress' and after a brilliantly loose hip hop interlude, Sven cooks up the sample heavy, party starting 'Get Down' with Mac-Kee. Two versions of 'Make It Right' offer heartfelt, raw house while 'Strings Rebirth' is a freaky late night cut with warped synths and naughty bass and 'Bug In My Machine' with Moses Mehdi closes things out in starry eyed and cosmic melodic house territory.

This is a superb album that explores many different house sounds, plenty of real emotions and well crafted melodies. The tracks become bridges and leave a lasting impression on your soul as a result. Build Bridges, not walls.

The story of the Stackenchneider record label starts with Various Artist series. The first vinyl includes 4 different tracks from residents of the self-titled club Tripmastaz, Deepcase, Ki.Mi., Pavel Iudin.
The record is so versatile that will be suitable for any party, so you shouldn't even take it out of your bag.

Supported and played by Petre Inspirescu, Raresh, Barac, Sublee, Viceversa and Rowlanz!

Esteemed Techno masters Pig&Dan return with their highly anticipated fourth album, 'Modular Baptism', via their own label ELEVATE.

In contrast to 2014's album 'Destination Unknown' in which they experimented with more ambient sounds, to great success (topping the Beatport chart from more than 4 months) 'Modular Baptism' sees the duo make a triumphant return to the techno world.

It's all about returning to our modular roots and is all about dance floor music, say the Spanish-based duo. We wanted to grab some oldschoolness and add that modern touch sound wise. We've put everything into this one and haven't held back.

Highlights of the 14-track album include the sleek opener 'Now Or Never,' the hazy but mesmerising 'Vangelism' and the title track 'Modular Baptism', which impresses with its layered synths, industrial chords and fierce, resonating kick drum. 'The Saint (Job San)' - a personal favourite of the duo's offers a more euphoric, house-energy, whilst tracks like 'Mexico' and 'Let Go' take the album into darker techno territories and 'Funk Of The Moog' is an example of the album's grittier side, perfect for the underground.

The talented duo (Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan) have been producing music together as Pig&Dan for over 10 years. Before a chance meeting on a plane, Dan had already spent 10 years as a Drum&Bass DJ/Producer and Igor was already making a name for himself in House and Techno scene. When we connected in the studio that synergy and crossover of styles just seemed to gel right away,' remembers Dan. It just really worked. And as we were both living in Mallorca with no real influences of trends or other scenes we were able to just make the music we wanted to make - Techno with D&B influences.' 

They've gone on to release three acclaimed albums plus remix and collaborate with some of the industry's biggest names including Underworld, DEADMAU5, John Digweed and Innercity for their classic 'Goodlife'. They've also performed at some of the world's most prestigious festivals and venues including Ultra, Tomorrowland, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), Amnesia Ibiza, Crobar Buenos Aires and Womb Tokyo plus release music on iconic labels such as Sven Väth's Cocoon, Slam's Soma, John Digweed's Bedrock, Monika Kruse's Terminal M and Richie Hawtin's Plus 8.

Another notable career landmark came, three years ago, when the duo launched their very own label, ELEVATE, to support and celebrate like-minded artists and to help nurture new talent. ELEVATE is all about music we want to play,' say the duo. We believe we have a unique sound and the label mirrors that in a diverse way. All the music we release is music that really gets under our skin. We are all about a nonlinear sound and adore what we release because there's a lot of monotonous tracks out there on the scene and we're trying to combat that.' And it seems to be working, as the success of the label in the last year alone boasts compelling releases from the likes of Monika Kruse, Julian Jeweil, Alberto Ruiz, Ron Costa and Matador plus a whole host of newcomers.
