How can you not like it when you read the names???

Sound like drunk nights in Miami.  Love it.

PAULUM Records proudly continues its journey through the first-ever compilation series with the release of PAULUM011 VOL. 2, out today – August 7, 2025.

Following the warm reception of Volume 1, this second edition brings together four artists with strong ties to the label and the broader international underground scene—each with a deeply personal approach to minimal and house music.

First up is Casimir von Oettingen, also known as CVO and the founder of Paulum Records. With this track, he opens a fresh chapter for the label—bringing a distinctly funky and housy energy to the compilation. While maintaining the minimalistic essence Paulum is known for, this production marks a bold and playful step forward, hinting at a broader sonic horizon for the label. It’s a personal statement, balancing innovation with respect for the roots.

Roni Amitai, a close friend of the label originally from Israel and now based in Detroit, returns with another standout production. Known for her memorable live appearance at the Paulum showcase in Berlin and a string of excellent releases, Roni brings emotional depth and dancefloor functionality in perfect balance.

From Budapest, ZKY makes a welcome return to his roots. Known on Paulum under his alias Solus, where he released a full EP, ZKY reconnects with his original moniker to deliver a track that bridges past and present. It’s a nod to his evolution as an artist, with a sound that remains unmistakably his.

Closing out VOL. 2 is Coco, a Berlin-based DJ and producer with deep roots in the city’s electronic music culture. A long-standing figure in the scene, she is one of the driving forces behind Betriebsfeier at Hoppetosse—arguably Berlin’s most respected event series for minimal house and techno. His contribution to this release carries the energy and elegance he’s known for on and off the decks.

Once again, this volume showcases Paulum's commitment to presenting artists with unique voices, shared values, and a love for sophisticated club music.

VOL. 3 coming soon.

Enjoy the groove!

Kemback - Good Night (Tooli's Good Morning Remix)

I made this track to remember me those moments spent on that beach-hot-stones admiring the fabulous sunset announcing the beginning of a step in the Dimensions' nights.

I used for that my computer with few sample, a microphone, a bass and a guitar.

Vinyl obsessive, renowned DJ and talented producer, Kon knows a thing or two about good music. Dubbed "King of the Edits" by Boiler Room, Kon is perhaps best known for his partnership with fellow Boston DJ Amir, which spawned 'Off Track', surely the most influential compilation series of recent years. Counting Gilles Peterson, Mark Ronson & Lord Finesse among his fans, Kon is well established as a 'go-to-guy' for countless DJs across the world looking for fresh, off-kilter sounds.

His latest project 'Kon & The Gang' is a collection of exclusive, unreleased music from Kon and a variety of his current favourite artists including Truccy, Eli Escobar, Bosq & Seven Davis Jr. Representing the new wave of distinctive and original disco-influenced music which has grown out of the 'edit' scene, Kon & The Gang showcases several 'artists to watch' as this dynamic movement builds momentum. A mixture of effortlessly cool, slow slung disco / boogie and energetic dance-floor gems, 'Kon & The Gang' is sure to delight fans of soulful music old and new.

"Kon & the Gang: a play on words which led to my productions involving some friends as live session players, which then became an idea for this compilation, for which I've asked a few of my producer / DJ friends to contribute original tracks. I'd like to thank them all for doing so. I hope you enjoy them!" - Kon (August 2016)

Lyon beatsmith Saint Paul made an impressive full debut in 2017 with his Introspection EP on Moonrise Hill Material (which he co-runs with his boys Folamour, Ethyène and Kaffe Crème). After tasty contributions to V/As on the likes of Apparel Wax and FHUO, the Frenchman is back with another solo record on DC’s Better Listen Records.

The Naturist Behavior EP is a tastefully balanced, warm-weather oriented four tracker. The title track and the A2, “A Hawaiian Trip”, explore playful and jazzy territories. Meanwhile, the flip hosts moodier ventures via the bittersweet boogie of “Tell Me” and the ice cold late night jam, “Feels Good”.

Saint Paul - A Hawaiian Trip

Russian Raw Slavs providing some end of night glory right here with this Disco re-edit. Seriously classy disco dripping with soul & charm. The strings just keep going and going until the whole room is swaying alongside them. We're sure many of you have heard the other version of this one but we do like what they've done here, just adding a lil bit more thump to proceedings.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
