Exclusive News

After 10 succesful years on the scene and almost 2 years in with the ThanQ Music label, Marina Karamarko is putting first, long - awaited ThanQ Vinyl release on the market.

In this expertly curated record, containg two tracks from Marina Karamarko and two remixes, she once again proves her quality and her personal need for unique sound in a electronic music world. First Karamarko's track Come closer blends deep, hypnotic sound with a heavy bass, including dark, meancing vocals to narrate her music style in the underground music scene. The second track Can't get you is a fresh sounding product from Marina Karamarko, spiced up with tender moments, but it's not lacking in the weight and it's like other, underground dancefloor-friendly.

On the remix duties we have strong individuals and amazing artists, Marwan Sabb (SCI-TEC, Insomnia Rec.) and Reelow (Solid Grooves, Moan). Marwan's interpretation is going in the dub techno direction, with strong hooks and dark beats, while Reelow goes in his recognisable jazzy tech grooves which are perfect to get the party in the right mood!

The remixes add a big flare to the whole collection, more than suitablle for the first THANQ Vinyl release.

The whole production is peculiar, dynamic and sharp.

The return of the highly influential and classic tracks by Thomas P. Heckmann's infamous
Drax project, that brought you such huge anthems like Amphetamine, Phosphene, Section 2 and Parnophelia,
which are collected on this one 2-coloured Vinyl 12inch for the first time !
The two predecessors to Amphetamine were Section 2 on the first ever Techno 7inch in 1993, followed some time
later by the Carl Cox beloved anthem Phosphene on the night glowing 10" Drax Three.
This finally led to one of the most influential and famous Techno tracks named Amphetamine, which is presented here
in a completely different and unreleased version (for the original please check AFUltd.31).
The more mellow and beautiful vibe of Parnophelia rounds up a true collectors Vinyl package !

Pig&Dan are once again taking us on a whole different journey.

Universal love has all the the makings for a classic, reminiscent of some of Pig&Dan's oldschool eclectic anthems, however with a super modern twist. It's deep haunting undertone slowly builds up and wraps you up in an intimate inviting warmth of analog. Finally the breakdown ads that smile upon your face that Pig&Dan are so well known for, climaxing with an uplifting explosion of epic-ness.

Lizard King takes another techno turn all together. Starting with the duos signature subsonic goodness you sense what's about to come as the epic lead sound start to grow crescendoing slowly. It's extremely positive hands in the air essence will take you in as it hits it's sonic orgasm.

Bambola equals euphoria!! A very hypnotic synth sucks you in right from the word go. Vocals, beats and that bass line help to build you up but in a different fashion. This track isn't about big build ups however it still takes you where you need to go. Melodic parts dance with one another and create something that's unexplainable yet stunningly beautiful.

Let's do it again!

After a short while, we are back on vinyl with Maltese DJ & producer Owen Offset and his Platen EP incl. 3 Remixes.

Techno is the answer - the name says it, so it's the flag of his events on the island where the worldwide network bear fruits and whiff of international flavour blows.

Owen's Platen suits perfectly to the labels musical philosophy and scores with raw cuts and analogue sounding peaktime synths.

Nearly synchronized with the date of his album release, Björn Torwellen from the Abstract artists delivers a remix in the manner of how is reaching the top of todays techno producers, with dark throbbing and industrial elements. Welcome on board!

Straight outta japanese underground scene, there's a third new name on our label: Shin Nishimura. His interpretation of Platen ends up in a highly dramatic boost of synth sounds.

The final treatment for this record is given by the label homies Sebastian Schroeder & Dominik Vaillant. Definitely worth putting on your dusty turntables!

Anna Reusch returns to the bouq.-family with he second release and two peaktime lifesavers for the summer. Canadian artist Ellroy impressed so much with his remix for Butch's new Moon Harbour release that there was no way around asking him to also rework Anna Reusch's track 'Arabian Nights' with its oriental flavor.

Ben Gomori's Monologues Records imprint presents its first vinyl outing: a collection of new tracks and tried-and-tested edits from the vaults.

Melon dons his Je Dàvu guise to bring us 'Don't You Need', a stomping disco work-out that's been heavily rinsed by San Proper and the select few who've been lucky enough to receive a copy over the years. Fellow Amsterdammer Uffe finally unleashes the jazzy, shapeshifting 'Keepon' nearly 50,000 SoundCloud plays later. Vilnius hotshot Ponty Mython goes deep and cute on his woozy, melodic 'Still Afraid Of Bats'. Monologues fave Thorsteinssøn rounds off the package with the chunky, tribal-tinged 'Bang' from his Copenhagen workshop.

Washington based Jackson Ryland is a relatively new name on the house and techno scene. Primarily known as a music critic for the blog 'Peanut Butter & Jams', Ryland has now donned his production hat and is turning out some jams of his own.

The title track 'Crystal City' shows a real understanding of the techno aesthetic, combining cathedral like atmospherics with rough, raw and rugged drums. The Italian tape saturation master Steve Murphy (Lobster Theremin/Chiwax/Wilson) is employed to remix the title track. Murphy brings the track back in to the realms of house and sprinkles it with his analogue know how to turn in a sub rumbling interpretation.

On the flip side Ryland picks up where he left off, this time incorporating the soundscapes of early drum and bass in to 'JP's', whilst retaining the aggressive techno drums. The EP is rounded off with 'Up the Shelf' and almost speed-garage bassline and syncopated drum pattern make up the core of the track, whilst Ryland's eerie atmospheres cement the EPs overall sound.

Vinyl will never die. That is the motto which EMBI Music is looking for. Therefore promptly after the first success in the beginning of the year, the next Limited Press Release is coming. This time straight from Chile, with well-known artists "Larry Peters" and UMHO.Remixes by Miguel Lobo and label boss Daniele Casa round off the package.

Sobriquet Records launches with the Japanese duo Liieberman and their EP The Things You Do To Me,accompanied by a Sinob Satosi Remix on the track the EP takes it name from.

After the last Vinyl Release in 2009, Soap Records now welcomes the 12" lovers with a new blasting four track Ep.
The Maxi features on the A Side the Track ,,Pending" by Mikel, from which we already heard of on labels like Plastic City, Grove on and also Soap records. The track has a remarkable Glower and a bassline just fitting for the coming Winter. Almost unnecessary to mention that with the break, the dancefloor begins to escalate. Furthermore with a remix from Markus Fix we look forward to a artist which we already know through huge releases on Cecille and Cocoon Records. With his special Interpretation he brings it to finish with Hit-Potential.
Even if a track is still actual after 15 years, one should still re-publish it. No quote, much more a Statement which fits perfect with the EP, which we are handling with here. Mushrooms still sounds not a bit old fashioned, even after that long time.
Therefore on the B Side as a Re release the Meat vs Einzelkind Remix which already received a lot of remarks in 2008.
Meat is known as one of the owners of the Disclabel Freebase in Frankfurt, who also made his name with releases on Moonharbour and Souvenir. Together with Einzelkind he published many succesfull EP´s for Get Physical Music.
The project Einzelkind on his own has also releases on Playhouse and Kindisch. In their remix they first deconstruct the spoken Vocals and build up a stand-alone baseline with effectice Ride usage. The vocals get going after the middle of the track. This develops a remarkable Charme on its own. For the finish of the whole Labelchief Toni Rios, known through releases on Cocoon rec, Kompakt and Kling Klong, just to mention a few, and Chris Wood, known as Co-Producer and partner of Meat with releases on Moonharbour and Souvenir, coming through with the Track ,,Inception". A deep, groovy and straight-House-Stomper, which brings a great EP to a even greater finish.

After 5 years Solid Rush, release number 20
comes along in a limited, onesided edition.
Ukt Apa from Stuttgart/Germany will bounce your
souls with a nice Detroit touched technotrack, Labelhead
Ascon Bates puts a pumping remix on it. Thats It !!!

Dropping his debut release on Super Flu's burgeoning Monaberry label, the shadowy but talented young force - whose name is also seemingly based upon the ill fated Victor Talking Machine company that produced the very first gramophone record players - fuses his feudal, rural experiences of Antarctic life with an arsenal of sound and texture on his refreshing 'Abby' EP.

Taking a strict mantra of 'digital is death', Viktor brings his expressive and deep sound through a selection of analogue instruments, galvanising his off kilter, alternative dance floor tomes with soundscapes and refreshing, naturalised washes of ambience and effect. Title track Abby - with its hollowed echoes and radar blips, sets the tone in minimal, ethereal fashion before gentle, crisp percussion brings tempo and rhythm, before snapping hi hats and bubbling, pulsating bass drive the track into the heart of any given dance floor.

Sven Tasnadi brings a hyper compressed analogue remix, stripping back the percussive elements and bringing the bass timbres to the fore, while Martin Waslewski comes up trumps on his equally ethereal take on Abby, but hardened by resonating drums, staunch kicks and a more perky, house purist approach on the original. Finally, Viktor awakens his machine once more Torrfel playing with fluctuating gusts of harmonics before acidic, hypnotic top line melodies bang heads with bubbling bass and stomping swing.

Insmonia is the new project that Mihalis & CJ will run... SO this is the point where everything start! Amazing Rave beats with a Demarzo remix... NOT to be missed!

repressed !

Very excited to welcome Jerome.C and I/0 Mulen to the Still Play Records family. SPRV003 includes two phenomenal originals from Jerome.

As always all feedback is welcome and we hope you enjoy ! Thank you for the support thus far & Cheers from Miami

Veränderung Ep is the first release of Forbidden Behaviours, new label signed Gabriele Carasco,a well known Producer and Sound Engineer at the Code Studio based in Berlin.

First appearance of Namito on Rainer Weichhold's Gold Rcrds including raps from Jonny Cruz from California and a remix from Josh Butler

The swedish duo Bambook consisting of Eiad Sayegh and Hannes Netzell was surely one of last years whizzkids of the deep house genre.

Just over a year old now the duo have captured a unique signature sound: set to expressing a distinctive mood by working with acclaimed singers, classic house percussions, and emphatic baselines that triggers the right buttons.

Their "Humble Hearts" EP on Culprit and "Slip away" with Mennie on Noir have entered the underground dance floors by storm. After their first appearance on JEUDI on our "Friends" series we are happy to finally present their debut EP
"Tow the Line"

A1 Tow the Line feat. Name One
emerge yourself into this raw earthy brown house joint with sparkling piano arpeggios and a stunning vocal performance by Name One that reminded us a bit of the young Jim Morrison. Ride a bicycle in the fresh of the day with the reviving vibe of spring and enjoy!

B1 Täume feat. Name One
The world of enthusiastic and dirty grooves, stamping basslines: this one pushes you back to the roots of the real deep house. It's oldschool but it's also bringing you the freshness and uniqueness of the Bambook sound. Twee, a quality tune!
