A SOLID AND PURE LIVE ACT

We are very pleased to announce that JOHANNES HEIL joins PLAYKULA for worldwide representation!

We’ve been huge fans of HEIL’s work since we heard his debut masterpiece “PARANOID DANCER“ (Kanzleramt) hammered by Richie Hawtin at Loveparade in Berlin back in 1998… I still get goose bumps just thinking about it…

Many outstanding, banging, psychedelic and deep tracks followed and catapulted JOHANNES HEIL to the top of his game. He became one of the most influential and respected producers on the international electronic music scene, always keeping his productions on a very high level and consistently staying loyal to techno.

His latest release “FROM WITHIN” (released on Gregor Treshers label Break New Soil) reached position 8 of the Beatport Charts and position 15 of „Groove Tracks Of The Year 2011“.

JOHANNES HEIL now returns with his 9^th album entitled HEILIGER BIMM BAMM.
The album will be released as a series of 4 x 12″ high-end vinyl packages plus CD and digital format on the lately formed Nachtstrom sublabel Starkstrom…

[Starkstrom SST001] Johannes Heil – Heiliger Bimm Bamm Pt. 1 (Album Preview) by Nachtstrom Schallplatten

Intelligently produced, deep, funky, innovative and highly psychedelic techno tracks… pure ‘excellence’!

Johannes delivers every time… He doesn’t just repeat his usual live set…. he feels the energy and the vibe on the dance floor and adapts his LIVE SET accordingly

Over the past year, things have really heated up for MATTHEW BURTON & KATE RATHOD.

After catching everyone’s eye with their RESIDENT ADVISOR PODCAST last May, which received great feedback all round, including being voted number 3 in the TOP 10 MIXES of 2011 on Quitmumbling.com, these guys have also had two well-received EPs out on Jay Shepheard’s label RETROFIT

Matthew also had his debut EP on VISIONQUEST, produced together with Nick Lawson

2012 will see another VISIONQUEST release, this time from Matthew and Kate together, out around Easter time

Other releases are lined up for current label homes ULTRASTRETCH and RETROFIT

The pair will also be setting up their own vinyl only label by spring 2012 to release their own material

ORGANIC ART MOVEMENT 002 // The Camp Pirate EP

OAM002 | Matthew Burton and Kate Rathod – The Camp Pirate EP

FEEDBACK: 

www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/45416

Ahoy me hearties, swash buckling scally wags and land lubbers! Matthew Burton and Kate Rathod deliver the second release for Organic Art Movement.

The Camp Pirate is the tale of a homosexual pirate with a cross dressing fetish. He goes around from port to port selling diamonds and pearls to the rich women of the towns. The Pirates and The Closet scuttles further into the seedy underworld of this old seadog, with the conclusion of the story battling down the hatches on The Pirate’s Acceptance.

To finish off this ep we have two deep sexual house groovers with The Way It’s Gonna Be and Nigel’s Minky. These two tracks make it onto the vinyl release as well as a special edit of The Camp Pirate.

LITTLE HELPERS EDITS PRESS RELEASE:: Little Helpers Edits 01 and 02

Anticipating an ever-growing catalog of deep grooves and handy DJ tools, Little Helpers label co-founder Butane introduces the first in a series of derivative works from the label’s catalog, designed to fully realize the creative possibilities foretold by the label’s mission statement.

In advance of his Little Helpers Mixed: Volume One, a stunning compilation of 43 tracks expertly melded into a single harmonious composition, Butane introduces the Little Helpers “Edits” series. Each EP will showcase a single track, crafted skillfully from material in the label’s catalog.

Aimed squarely at DJs, these Edits will be considerably more elaborate than the reduced tools from which they’re assembled.

Edit 1 is a jackin’ Chicago-style afterhours workout, built from the outstanding original works of Butane, Ryan Crosson, Duky, Someone Else, Mark Henning, Kai Limberger, and Mr. Bizz.

Edit 2 is a ten-minute melodic tech house monster, built from the outstanding original works of Mr. Bizz, Andrew Grant, Lomez, Standard Fair, Beaner, and Limo.

PLAYKULA is very happy to welcome FINDLING from Munich to our roster!

Severin Stickel aka FINDLING is a great DJ with a huge collection of high quality dance tunes and he is producing some of the finest deep house. Has been approached by some of the most forward thinking labels on the scene, such as Get Physical, Hifreaks, Soulfooled or Kindisch (his debut release with them reached the Top Ten of the Resident Advisor chart).

2012 promises a number of new releases, with Findling‘s productions skills really beginning to bear the fruit. Most notable was his October 2011 Deep Sea EP, released on Get Physical, a 5 tracker full of techie, dubby house and after hour naughtiness along with a complilation for Kindisch as well as remixes for M.A.N.D.Y., Pitchben (Compost),  DJ T. and Terranova to be released on Kompakt.

Come and see him play at our PLAYKULA X-MAS bash at Club Der Visionäre Friday Dec. 16th in Berlin!  (more infos soon)

DJ Weekly Podcast

64: Darius Syrossian

With a summer that saw his tracks grace compilations such as ‘5 years of 8bit’, ‘Cocoon Heroes’and Heidi’s ‘Jackathon’, there’s no doubting the popularity – amongst clubbers and DJs – of Darius Syrossian. Schooled on the dancefloor of the Hacienda, he later worked in some of the finest record shops in Leeds meaning his literacy in house is second to none hence a bi-weekly VIVa Music Radio show which goes out to over 30 countries,  a tireless DJ schedule including this year Sonar, WMC and Kazantip, and his own successful Breakout Audio label. And as his podcast, which ranges from Eats Everything to Murk shows, if it’s got the groove to make you move, Darius is on it.

DJ Weekly Podcast 64: Darius Syrossian by djmag

Here comes the already promised vinyl-extraction of the already released Upon.You Diary N°2 Compilation, on which you can find the UY- clan members and artists around the label.

The four most popular titles of the cd were poured onto vinyl.

For the full track selection of the original MP3/CD compilation, you can check out here:
http://soundcloud.com/uponyourecords/sets/diary-n-2/

On A1 a collaboration of Douglas Greed and Delhia de France, who lost gallons of love about their song ‘Sense’.

Mark Henning has also formed a passioned tech-house-mover with his track ‘Stacked’, which complies with his ever cool style.

The B- side has an opener from our number one Dutchman Onno, who got together with our youngest member Marcus Gehring to produce the title ‘Elephant In The Room’.

Of course Marcus Meinhardt, who was responsible for the survey of the tracks cant be left a side. His contribution to this product carries the name ‘Splash’ and is an example for Marcus Meinhardts driving tech-house-sound.
