Dear friends of Connaisseur,

In our scene, a decade is a long time.

When we started the label, we didn't have a master plan, we simply wanted to put out good music we loved, of which we were sure others would love it as well. The way Connaisseur subsequently grew came naturally. If you are music lovers like we are, current musical tendencies will of course always have an infuence on your sound, but basically we stayed true to ourselves and our core has always stayed the same. Yes, we love melodies, yes, we love deepness and yes, we love great emotions, but in which electronic style these are conveyed, is rather secondary. That is our leitmotif, from "Eve By Day" until today and every day to come.

For our anniversary release, we had the idea of asking for collaborations only, as we like the energy of two creative minds coming together and creating something special. Some of the chosen couples had already worked together, others had not. As a result, we now have 6 collaborations, which will be released digitally in two parts and as a selection of three tracks from the two parts on a very nice, limited vinyl.

We are very happy about the variety of styles we have received: From modern trance in the best possible manner fromOlderic and Peter Pardeike, over timeless Detroit-infuenced techno-guardian sound by the two legends Aril Brikha and Chymera, start-of-the-art melodic tech-house from our fgureheads Lehar and Musumeci, a cover-version of the 90ies alternative rock classic „Pets“ from Pornos for Pyros by our norse darlings Of Norway in collaboration with the Scandinavian pop- star Linnea Dale and the multi-instrumentalist Preben Olram, a Warp-style electronica pearl by the Wareika sidekick project Silky Raven together with Hamburg club-dj legend Solaris, to last but not least a techy guarantor by Maltese pirate The Element and Connaisseur label head Alex Flitsch.

This is part one of 10y of Connaisseur featuring Olderic & Peter Pardeike, Lehar & Musumeci and Silky Raven & Solaris.

Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for 10 years of having shared goose bumps with us!

Snippets of "Accretion Remixes" by Of Norway.
Release Date: October 30th, 2015

In May 2014, we released Of Norway's debut album "Accretion“, a very personal and sophisticated piece of work. It was recorded together with several friends and many natural instruments, giving the album its unique feeling.

In the beginning of 2015, we started releasing the frist remixes of the album. The first was for “Spirit Lights”, the wonderful title with the amazing vocals by Linnea Dale. We are very thankful that Diynamic's Adriatique and our man Lehar gave their best to create two remixes which dominated the dancefloors for many months this year. Adriatique's version was an Ibiza regular this season, a guarantor for open-airs and beaches, while Lehar's darker version put you in another state of mind. 

The next remix release was for “It's You”, including the haunting vocals by the Norwegian singer Lois. Eric Volta made one of his remarkable fairytale house tracks, a track as though it were made for events like Burning Man, while The Drifter stayed a bit closer to the original, but created an energy you can not resist.

Next, we held the remix competition for “It's You” in cooperation with Beatport and can look back to many amazing interpretations of which we released three as a special digital product.

Now, we are happy to present the full remix album, including five new remixes by friends of Of Norway and the label.

We start with Patrick Zigon from Lake Constance in southern Germany, owner of the lovely Biotop Label and great DJ. He interpreted “Accretion”, the title track of the album and turned it into a jazzy influenced space jam.

Next up are the fabulous boys from Dance Spirit. They took the ballad “Two Black Cats” and transformed it into a trippy 10am monster. We have had this version on our table for quite some time already, so we are more than happy that it is now finally being released.
The next remix is by Norwegian producer, sound engineer and good friend of Of Norway Terje Saether. He remixed the catchy “Love is Over” with its demanding bassline, emotive strings and piano sprinkles.

“Let The End Chime” was one of the last tracks of the album and as the play on words already describes, chimes are the central element of the track. The German-Canadian duo Moosefly, who already delivered the amazing “Between The Lines” on our summer VA BBQ Techno 5, worked around this element to create a brilliant tune with lovely attention to detail.

The last exclusive title is Of Norway's own live version of the track "Trampoline" with vocals by Malin Pettersen, a 10min live jam, recorded at Kater Blau in Berlin this year.
We are very thankful for all these lovely interpretations. All remixers did an amazing job. Chapeau!

I have waited so long for this and now my dream has become true: Sade herself and Sony UK finally gave their okay to my secret edit so it is out now as an official Sade release on Get Physical // Poesie Musik and hits the stores on jan 16th 2015.

Press text:
Poesie Musik has the very special honor to announce the release of a remix of a song known the world over, authored by no less than Sade. One of the prolific singer's most well-known creations, ‚Pearls‘ is given a deluxe makeover by German dance floor mainstay Timo Jahns, whose moody, melancholy personal sound fits perfectly with the sultry vocals on one of the crooner's most moving songs. 

Hailing from Göttingen, Timo Jahns has carved out a name for himself on the German party circuit thanks in part to an endless list of edited music and remixes on labels like Ponsactrilau, Underyourskin Records, Neverending, Cometomusic, Klang Gymnastik and 9Volt, as well as his own imprint FREUNDCHEN RECORDS, created for an intimate circle of few. 

This latest foray into the reworking of certain melodic masterpieces comes after Timo’s remixes of music by the likes of songstress Melody Gardot and Bon Iver just last year. For this special rendition of ‚Pearls‘, the producer has carefully lead the tune into deep-house terrains and turned it into a track just begging for summer afternoons and thoughtful chill-out sessions.
