As a basis for the third album by the Düsseldorf Kreidler drummer Thomas Klein THE STEAM AGE, an abandoned piano served as a sound source. Tapping, scratching, scraping, plucking: working with the wooden body and steel strings led to the building blocks of a broad sonic spectrum, which Klein then brushed against the grain with his sampler. All of these alienated patterns and sequences were then invited to dance to the typical Sølyst percussion groove, merging with him to form a hypnotically driving machine-funk. Out March 18, 2016

Bureau B is a Hamburg based label which releases past and future classics unearthed from genres including (but not limited to) electronica, avant-garde, Kraut(rock) – a colourful spectrum of diverse, yet contigiuous musical genres. Applying the expertise deployed in trawling the archives, Bureau B has gone on to champion new and contemporary acts with similar musical sensibilities to their pioneering antecedents.

2 aspects of the same label: While JAHMONI MUSIC appreciates dub as a musical influence in its diverse repertoire (& gives credit to this with a variation of the label name)*, Schamoni Musik comes from a background of Electronics & Krautrock.
