Opa knows best... 

Every now and again the good folk at Monaberry invite their eldest family chief, Grandpa Herbert, around for a spiritual sonic powwow. A chance to galvanise the forces and energies that have become the label's signature over the years, these collections have become a Monaberry tradition. And this is its seventh...

Label founders Super Flu take the lead with 'Bebey Love 1', a mystic moment of deep desert hypnosis, calling and responding to its own momentum. It's followed by 'Handmade', a spiralling, foot-stamping tribal slice of cosmosis from new friend and MoBlack affiliate Sobek. Deeper again we strike 'Urban Linien' from label lifer CIOZ, a hip-slinking late night narrative laced with deep dreams and psychedelic flourishes, things take a serious level-up from four minutes in. 

Chapter 24 associate JOBE follows with a similarly lavish yarn 'Maasai'. Subtly theatrical and laced with nuances of dark bass and a restrained sense of theatre, it's doesn't so much as grab your attention but arrests it and gives it a life sentence. He's followed by old Monaberry flame Ole Biege who brings the 'Heat' in every sense. Strutting on a sweet shuffle and gently paced with beautiful piano chords and a sultry vocal, its borderline spiritual in its allure and sets us up perfectly for brick-talking MULYA who makes a swift return from his recent label debut with the moody marching safari 'Hamune'. 

Finally Bebetta and Douglas Greed bring this life-affirming chapter to an end. The former delivers a stunning slab of subversion in the form of 'Gattara' which balances spine-melting arpeggios and warm, bouncy bass. The latter takes us right back to the source with 'Arpo33', a trance-tinged hair-raiser that's powered by a cathedral-like lead that doesn't promise new dimensions... It guarantees them. 

Eight inspiring journeyman adventures from eight of Monaberry's firmest friends and most kindred spirits. No one picks them like Opa Herbert. Less old school, more vintage university, it's detailed excursions like these that keep the old timer alive. Long may they continue...

While it's freezing winter in Germany, Monika Kruse found a great way to change the subject and think about sunny times: Releasing warm grooves from THE italian breakthrough dj/producer 2012: Alex Costa from Torino. Since his releases on Shinedoe's Intacto and Kaiserdisco's KD Music he is taking record cases by storm and certainly won't change with his 'Moove EP'. Plus Aldo Cadiz from Santiago De Chile is adding a sophisticated remix which makes it even more a standout release for Terminal M.

Next stunning Terminal M release from the Italian born top producer Luca Morris.
With "Party Tradition" he presents 4 more strong tracks which are used to be played from
top Dj's like Marco Carola, Dubfire, Loco Dice, Monika Kruse and many more...
First track "party tradition" is a stomping dark party anthem to the clubs. On AA with a
mysterious voice and a wiring sound comes "Small Planet". Third track
"Isabella" continues with his dark flow and basslines. last but not least "Arrange" comes
with a bit more brighter melody, but still not losing his touch of great groove and
deepness...

After Alexander Aurel's very successful first Terminal M appearance on the Cookies EP Vol. 1 earlier this year, Monika Kruse had no doubt to release a proper EP with this talented dj from Frankfurt. Additionally the two duos Pele & Shawnecy and Paul C & Paolo Martini commissioned fantastic versions of the title track. Enjoy Your Night.

Sunday Mornings 007
Kanja Records is sincerely honored to present its seventh vinyl release, based on a concept called Sunday Mornings. With this series of releases we will focus on that warm up, early morning, after party gems and slowly fading away from peak time music. Our philosophy behind this concept is that the focus goes to the tracks being timeless, and music that you can listen to in every time of day and night. Music that offers a vast variety, but in the end coming together in that sweet and warm morning glory.
24 Shots by Maki Polne was definitely our first pick for the first track on this release. Minimalistic sound with nice warm pads and freakish sound is the style that is perfect for our series.
Cielo by Lights Electronika and Valeria Croft perfectly sits beside our opening track, setting a mysterious vibe with warm long pads and atmospheric sounds.
Silly Lili by Fusal, an opening track on our b side, with nice minimalistic and laid back grooves certainly deserves a spot on our series.
Looking For The Unknown by Bauch and Henrik is the final track on this vinyl release. A really special track with nice piano pads nicely and slowly completes our release.

LTD repress !

Noha & Alex Tea's musical relationship is one that's yielded great results to date, chiefly as result of their work together on the Panick EP, the inaugural release on the duo's increasingly essential Panick Panick! label. Here, they team up with distinction once more for the label's fourth release, the only difference being that this time they do so under their Patagonia moniker.

A two tracker full of heady, intoxicating vibes, we get underway courtesy of 'Chi Ci Pensa'. Full of swing and smile-induced vibes, this one may well prove to be one of the biggest tracks of the summer.

The B side features the rushed, dubby flavours of 'Rimane Senza'. A multilayered cut that boasts a relentless edge, it stops only for breath when its sporadic vocal flourish enters the equation. Dark and banging but with featuring just enough light at the end of the tunnel, it's an all-round engrossing cut with a stuffy demeanour that's hard not to appreciate.

Who said that da new Long player must consist by Intros, Outros and Off-Tracks – that all lies in the eye of the beholder and depends on his perspective. It must be honest and has to odd pictures in the heads. DOMPE succeeded that in a perfect way. At the beginning of May, he will release his latest album named HIPPIE CRACK on his own Label JACKRUIT RECORDINGS.

HIPPIE CRACK – music is our drug – it makes us happy and gives us the chance to flee from the gray and ordinary daily routine. These 12 Tracks are highly addictively. Close your eyes, dance and time can be forgotten. Back to the roots – back to good old house music tunes, simple but not easy produced. The DOMPE Style has not to be described on more details; Again, and again full of different facets. These tracks are as always full of summer vibes und carried by lots of samples with plenty of old-school-sounds.

All tracks from the Album tell a story, can be listen to at home or also in the club. It starts with love and full of harmony, before it changes the chill mood the clubbing sounds. All in all, the complete package is very atmospheric. Like a good gig the sounds it goes harder step by step and at its best it comes to an end.

From the front till the back a project with a high intention – one of DOMPES heart wishes was a cover designed by BRINGMANN & KOPETZKI. The result is a perfect comic version of DOMPE and that's a banger. So, HIPPIE CRACK isn't only a musically hot shit, but also a visual highlight.
