PINS AND NEEDLES are proud to present the next release YOKOO & CUR.L - PANORAMA GARDEN incl. PHILIPP ORT and LIFE LESS ORDINARY remixes. Being a part of the Berlin underground house music scene for many years, CUR.L is surely on newcomer to the industry. For this special release he teamed up with Berlin based producer YOKOO and they created the amazing PANORAMA GARDEN original track. Influenced by mystic vocals, groovy beats and atmospheric sounds, this track stands out by no means! The second original track is a production by CUR.L himself and it keeps the experimental yet sophisticated sounds he is well-known for. On remix duties are label boss PHILIPP ORT with a vocal based re-interpretation of PANORAMA GARDEN and the Australian DJ/production duo LIFE LESS ORDINARY who put their own musical influences into an amazing remix of PICO MALEA.

Jesper Dahlback is one of Swedens leading DJs/ producers with a lengthy back catalogue to his name, including co-production on two Tiga albums, the Hugg and Pepp project with cousin John Dahlback, and remixes for the likes of Rex the Dog, Zoo Brazil, Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe, Thomas P Heckman, Robyn, The Knife, and Depeche Mode. Jesper has music in his genes, but it was the musical movements in Detroit, Berlin and London that inspired him to start producing techno, back in 1991 in his bedroom studio. Completely hooked, by 1993 he d formed the Stockholm-based Globe Studios together with Peter Benisch and Adam Beyer (following a chance meeting on the train to Love Parade) and has worked there ever since. In 1996 Jesper started the imprint, Blank, mainly for his own material, and simultaneously launched joint venture DK with Thomas Krome - one of the first labels in Sweden with a techno house crossover approach! In addition to making music for various techno labels around the world and working with Planet Rhythm, Jesper met up with Swiss-born Stephan Grieder who had just started the Svek label. The duo started to experiment with different sounds, drawing on house musics roots, utilising vocals and acoustic instruments. Jesper now describes his sound as >ranging between the analogue sounds of the roland sh101 and the precision mathematics of my computer. I m a researcher and developer of unheard sounds! Since the founding of Globe Studios, I have always been looking for new ways to bend the rules and test the unknown. When I DJ, I just play my own productions blending old classics with new unreleased demos.< A producer first and foremost, Jespers DJ dates find him weaving a soundscape of his productions, remixes and collaborations with new material at every gig, as well as musical elements and sounds worked through the set.

The original track from Kaelan wheels around the main chord: soiled and biting in the proper Basic Channel/Chain Reaction way. The track is built on a chasing 130BPM groove.
The Stojche's remix refers to afterhour atmospheres. A sinuous deep dub.
Lee Holman provides us of a dancefloor killer remix. Prickly. Rabid. Techno
The Babe Roots' remix take a break from the dancefloor and it refers to a dub techno reggae oriented. The spacey pads take us in the journey.

Welcome to the next chapter of the incredible collaboration between Mike Väth & Robin Hirte for AFU Limited with their Clegan EP.
Four powerful dark techno tracks with peak time attitude, that will easily transform every dancefloor to the next high energy level.
The name CLEGAN was inspired by the TV show "Game of Thrones",
where one of the baddest bastards was called "Sandor Clegan", which shows you the dark influences of this bad bastard track !

First pressing will be on red Vinyl !

We love and release on Vinyl !

Almost a year on from his well-received Crazy EP on Moon Harbour, Philip Bader is back with his third outing on the
label. This time he offers up Edge of Space, which features three new tracks that prove the producer of ten years
experience is still somehow improving with every release.

The title track 'Edge of Space' opens the account with an immediately dancey track that is rooted in deep, looping
drums. A nimble and supple bassline props the whole thing up as icy hi hats cut through the groove and vocal stabs
yelp out at funk inducing intervals. Subtle drum fills bring tension but the swinging groove is never far away and will
ensure dancefloors stay locked on from start to finish as that vocal and bassline continue to wrap around each other
in inciting ways.

On the flip side of this essential vinyl release is 'Still Rise', a collaboration with Highgrade regular and venerated
tech talent Daniel Dreier. This one is more fractured and trippy thanks to the squiggling synth line that scurries about
in techy drums and silvery percussion. Probing bass surges come in from below and filtered vocals rain down from
above and bring with them a sense of late night freakiness.

Finally, 'Houserism' gets dark and devilish thanks to the howling, shadowy bassline that runs underneath the whole
thing. The atmosphere is one from deep outer space and very real tension builds throughout, keeping you engaged
both with head and heel.

Once again this is crisp, expertly produced dancing music from Philip Bader that tells a slightly different story with
each track. Everyone is as compelling as the next, though, and as such you are sure to be happy to get lost in them
on the right dancefloors in the coming months.

Deeply rooted minimal and dub-based house, Very Limited Copies.
Based in Spain, Bolumar released his music on labels such as Session Deluxe, Luna Records, Act Natural, Metroline Limited, Draft, Novus, Kling Klong

SPIELGOLD meets Bondage-Music or something like that is how our latest release could be described. After many years in close collaboration, SPIELGOLD is proud to obtain the two heads behind the Berlin Label Bondage-Music better known as Pornbugs for the new release. In cooperation with Dole & Kom, they produced two great tracks unlike any others. The name says it all: Impeller EP! Two driving mind-blowing Tech House Tracks for the prime time on the main floor, including two awesome remixes by Mario Aureo and Schlepp Geist!

Das ist das Ostfunk Debüt von Dompe, der zuletzt schon sehr erfolgreiche Releases auf Mimique, Tretmühle, For You Records, 040 und Gastspiel hatte. Der in Köln geborene Shooting Star überzeugt hier durch seine bluesigen Vocal Samples über dem perkussiven Grundgerüst, die - Don´t let go' eine außergewöhnliche Deepness verleihen, die für Dompe so typischen Soundeffekte und Soundgimmicks machen auch - Mouse and Bear'. Dompe´s - Attic' ist ein echter Clubhit für die frühen Morgenstunden - diesem Groove kann man nicht entgehen.

This is the Ostfunk debut of Dompe, who had already some respectable releases on labels such as Mimique, Tretmuehle, For You, 040 and Gastspiel Records. The shooting star, who was born in Cologne, convinces his audience by his deep vocal samples on his percussive tracks like - Don´t let go' and his sound effects and gimmicks that make - Mouse and Bear' oustanding. Dompe´s - Attic' is a hypnotic club hit for the early morning hour - you can´t hide from that groove!

Flexxseal's third release comes from exciting debutant, Draag. The double A-side starts
as it means to go on with "Occulted" - a broken machine; a relentless and hammering
production line with hints of a melody hidden in the migrain-esque percussion. AA,
Tumult, is born of the same litter - harrowing and oppressive, darkroom sounds.

200 hand-stamped 12" vinyls available February 11th
. A digital release will follow March
11th.

Nothing is routine about Draag's inauguration into techno. Finding exposure solely via
the Internet after relocating to Russia from Kuwait during the 1990's, his detachment
from the electronic music world leaves no restrictions for his original productions.
