Ballroom Records, spearheaded by Berlin duo, Kaiser Souzai is set to release their first compilation, dropping on June 24th, 2016. Exemplifying the Berlin underground with some of the rawest techno cuts out there and nurturing a growing roster of musical talent, Ballroom won't disappoint with this ingenious collection of originals and remixes, some already part of their catalogue and others completely unreleased and exclusive.

A total of 12 tracks, Kaiser Souzai have wasted no time in getting it right. Showcasing a selection of their back catalogue, German duo Zakari & Blange make an appearance with the atmospheric, 'Upper', alongside fellow German native, Ben Champell's rhythmic and trippy, 'The Dark Streets Of Berlin', and not to forget Slovakian and Austrian duo, Dezibell's tribal percussion infused 'Elbrus'. Kaiser Souzai themselves have also lent their productions, with past releases such as their unique homage to the 90's techno classic, 'The First Rebirth 3.0', their energetic re-hash of Josh Vox's 'Blumen Der Verzweiflung' and of course, their collaboration last year with Spanish mastermind, Alberto Ruiz with 'Tarzan', a momentous dance floor killer.

Always one to give back, the Ballroom compilation includes 3 unreleased tracks including an underworldly remix of Kaiser Souzai’s ‘Love’ from Zakari & Blange, a deep and ethereal remix of Kaiser Souzai’s ‘Love’ from Berlin producer who is signed to Erick Morillo's mighty 'Subliminal' label, Junolarc and last but not least, a melodic remix from Stefan Mint's Techno-alias Lindwood of Kaiser Souzai’s ‘Mr Lurk’.

The first of it’s kind, Ballroom’s debut compilation sets the bar high with both it’s catalogue of quality releases and an exciting taste of what is yet to come.

Kaiser Souzai - 1981 (Alberto Ruiz Laser Remix)

Following up our previous Daniel Sanchez release, we are more than proud to have for this one the Impropmtu Remixes EP edition which includes 4 fantastic remixes by Nima Gorji, Martinez, Doubtingthomas and Faster. The first track is Nima's remix from Pearled Into Droplets in which he created an exceptional base with a prominent tech rhythm, in which we can perceive a few percussion layers that work amazingly with the original synths. Those synths create an incredible atmosphere as they softly evolve in a slow progression during the track, creating tension and release, exactly when is needed. The whole minimalistic approach brings a more than suitable vibe that is driven by a rock solid bass line too. The second remix is from Martinez, who also worked over Pearled, but he went through a more experimental and deeper road with an exquisite re-interpretation, in which the articulations created between the several percussive sounds are beautifully placed in such way that, alongside the synth pad in the backend, creates a superb hypnotic vibe and groove. The third remix is from Daniel's track Yi and was charge of Doubtingthomas, who flawlessly captured the primal essence of the original track with a superb twist in the rhythmic side, in which he created an amazing blend between of minimal house and deep, that easily immerses the listener into a powerful trip. This remix also presents several melodic elements working together with the original track sounds, like the strings during the break and synth pads, which adds a beautiful musical and organic feeling to the remix. The last and not least of the remixes is also from Yi, but in charge of the talented producer Faster, who also took as working base the ambiences and textures from the original track to create a subtle and beautiful minimalistic vibe alongside the percussive elements. The most distinctive sound of his remix is the electric synth riff, which adds soft craziness, and lays the ground perfectly for the hypnotic percussions to take place later on the track, which also finishes the remix's groove exquisitely.
