At an abstract level, Love over Entropy's music draws inspiration from the Ligne Claire aesthetic. This is a style of drawing made famous by Belgian cartoonist Hergé in the 1930s, but which goes back even further, to Japanese woodblock cuts from the 17th century. Very much like those woodblock cuts, Love over Entropy's music is precise yet organic. To the point yet rich. Abstract yet familiar.

Love Over Entropy wished to name this EP 'Pleioné.' In Greek mythology, Pleioné was an Oceanid nymph and mother of the Pleiades. Pleione presided over the multiplication of the flocks. This title thus seems utterly fitting, since the music seems to keep on coming and going, the same yet different, repeated yet with sounds adding to each other in waves. The whole gives a sense of being so subtle and deep that the mind gets to float freely in an boundless ocean of sounds.

Robag Wruhme isn’t just a producer; he’s a sonic storyteller. His tracks are known for their emotional depth and technical brilliance – the perfect blend of minimal techno, deep house, and ambient music—each track a meticulously crafted journey through sound. With influences ranging from classical to jazz to world music, Robag’s music is as diverse as it is enchanting. 
His latest offering on the trailblazing Speicher series is no exception. True to his unmistakable style, “Naila” meanders between heartwarming positivity and menacing darkness induced by one of those bass lines only Robag can deliver. In short: He nail(a)ed it!
On the flip side, he joins forces with the ominous Bruno Pronsato – an elusive character that has a string of cult releases on Perlon, Musique Risquée and Foom under his belt. “CDV” was initially released on his album “Live At Club Der Visionäre” on Logistic Records. Robag’s slick re-rub is pushing things decisively in an afterhour-ish direction. Mental music for mental times!

Hello 24! Nice to have you here. 23 is so yesterday, so over the top, really. Well, we’ve been dancing the following dances recently. What about you?

What lasts a long time usually turns out well. Having admired TEE MANGO from afar for many years, our A&R Michael Mayer took heart and invited him to this year’s TOTAL. “So In Love” is in the best tradition of the KOMPAKT minimal funk of the early years. We are delighted to have this lovely Englishman on board!

REINHARD VOIGT has always placed great emphasis on loving animals. On the track with the unsurprising title “Der, der mit dem Gummiball sang (Orange)”, he lets whole hordes of different four-legged friends and poultry on the microphone. Hopefully the stench will dissipate from the studio.

When Rhenish cheerfulness meets holiday anticipation, the result is something like this Hawaiian shirt turned music called “Chee-Caruso” by JÜRGEN PAAPE. No animals were tortured for this piece either, even if it sounds like it.

We stay in the realm of fauna and turn our attention to London’s award-winning pedigree dog REX THE DOG. “Laika” is a heart-warming ode to the mongrel dog of the same name, who was the first living creature to make it from the streets of Moscow into space. She would have loved that bleep.

A little-known fact about MICHAEL MAYER is that he is one of the fastest crossword puzzle foxes on the left bank of the Rhine, always in relentless rivalry with Wolfgang Voigt, who thinks he is even faster. The big battle is yet to come. Uninvited guest with five letters? “Urian”.

As an integral part of the family, JONATHAN KASPAR is of course not to be missed. “Are You” celebrates the kind of early morning rapture that is commonplace at his new DJ venue, the brand new Cologne superclub FI. Everything is so colourful here.

SASCHA FUNKE takes a bow to one of the greats of German showbiz with the trippy electro smasher “The Heck”. Born – like DJ Koze and Barnt – in Flensburg, died in Berlin in 2018 and wore glasses. More will not be revealed.

More emotion, more love, more sing-along factor? Si, claro! ARGIA’s “Love Keeps You Running” masterfully combines groove and pop – a blend that sounds very familiar to us. She may be at home in Madrid, but there’s Cologne DNA in her somewhere. We’re sure of it.

Let’s meet the legends, the veterans! JÖRG BURGER is still in a psychedelic mood in 2024. That suits him, that’s where he needs to be, that’s where we want him to be. A parallel universe is conceivable in which such music is affectionately called Goa.

Before going to bed, the WASSERMANN reads us a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights. At the same time, we focus on a point between everything, but really everything, and absolute, stark naked nothingness. 3, 2, 1… Let go.

In the face of war and uncertainty, artists Amas and Konstantin Kost present "Odessa," an EP that transcends boundaries and captures the essence of human perseverance. Created amidst the turmoil of the Ukrainian conflict, this techno and deep techno collection speaks to the resilience of spirit and the power of music to connect us all.

"Red Glow" (ft. Tanya) opens the EP with a haunting repetition of "LOVE" and "FEAR," encapsulating the daily reality of living in a war-torn city. "Nightcall" guides us through the darkness, its rhythmic refrain "through the night" symbolizing hope and endurance. "Old Kings," inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ozymandias," critiques the enduring power of oppressive leaders, while "Talk to God" features Konstantin Kost reading from Taras Shevchenko's poignant poem "A Cloud Floating Behind the Sun," evoking a longing for peace and harmony.

Despite never meeting in person, Amas and Konstantin Kost have forged a powerful connection through their music. "Odessa" is a celebration of art's boundless nature and a testament to the unbreakable human spirit in times of adversity. The cover art, featuring the port of Odessa, symbolizes hope for a future where the city's beauty and resilience will once again be shared with the world.

We hope you like this track as much as we do. Please support the artist and label by following:

Reculture returns with its second installation of ‘A Touch of Culture’! Landing in 2 parts - the compilation reels in even more friends of the label showcasing the variety and depth of the narratives from the artists it closely keeps eyes on. Seven different tracks - seven different textures, emotions and soundscapes.

Hardt Antoine and label friends REj and Pattn showcase a deep and slow burning intergalactic dance of ‘Ecstasy’. Leading hard with its thumping bassline, flickers of retro-infused synths and a spiralling melody that crusade’s in passionate and melodramatic fashion.

Taking us along a wave of kinetic hi-hat-htting energy comes Sahar’s ‘The Last Chapter’. Playing dynamic in groove, it shakes, rattles and rolls along a supersonic landscape, laced with plenty of balearic-infused acid squelches and an uplifting vocal. Light in movement, it leans towards a minimally breezy vibe.

Kira Blush breathes plenty of life into the compilation with ‘Here 2 Help’. A tribal touch -  this is a rhythmic number which dances, pelts and bounces around in non-stop circular vibrancy, The melody, moving along in alto form is kept to higher contempt with the dazzling haloed synths which sashay up and down the scale in enticing pace.
