RAT 22 Credit 00 & Wolf Müller - Funk The System

Funk The System! The recipe is simple: Dig deep, listen to your heart, record everything you got on a dusty old desktop computer, leave it to simmer for the time of a pandemic, and if it’s still fresh, serve it up on the finest plate of black wax!

This collaboration started in Düsseldorf in the year 2018. Locked up for a week in the Flanger Studios, Wolf Müller and Credit 00 recorded everything: from the jaw harp to smartphone apps, chopping up GDR Jazz breaks and squeezing the Funk out of every synthesizer and drum machine at hand. 

You will hear the open mindedness towards all sorts of musical influences from the first note. Each of the five tracks showcases a wild mix of flavours: Disco Reggae, B-Girl Breakbeats, Protest Folk, Subway Funk, Tabla Rhythms, you name it... they’ll take it and shake it! It is obvious these two got sonically socialized and educated by the multiculturalism of Hip-Hop in their early days.

After the first Recording Session, the tracks fermented for some time until they were cracked open again. This time in Leipzig at Credit 00’s Westend Workshop. That’s also where Rizmi from Birmingham joined the team and lent her voice to the title track. She reinterpreted the lyrics of the obscure German 1980s Workers’  Rock Song, that Wolf digged out for the Intro Skit of „Funk The System“. 

A long time in the making, Rat Life is very happy to finally publish this EP!

B2 Urban Utan

The full-scale military invasion in Ukraine and the tense political situation in Belarus forced us to leave our homes and brought us to Poland.

Straight from Warsaw where the Covid-19 has practically destroyed the night culture in the usual sense for us we are building an underground music scene right now.

Among our releases, we curate music of completely different styles, moods and characters.

Music for an extraordinary audio experience created with high hopes for a bright future and sincere love for our craft.

Rat Life welcomes back Leibniz for the label's 23rd release! This 12 inch piece of wax is jam packed with five grimy techno mantras, each one proofing once again that the highest level of mastery is simplicity. Most information is irrelevant and most effort is wasted, but only Leibniz knows what to ignore.

DTP#39 - The Spy

Our next podcast was hard boiled by The Spy. Based in Amsterdam, he has now made a name for himself all over the world. His hustle and bustle is evident with his own show on Operator Radio and Releases on powerhouses like Mechatronica, Osare Editions, Hilltown Disco, Machine Cult, Dalmata Daniel, Mosaique Records, Ferma or KRI. 
Electro with a signature sound: crispy, full throttle but wavey, analogue instruments and always punchy as hell. 
He described the mix for us as “hardcore electro vibes” similar to his set at our party last fall and he's damn right. Lots of unreleased material included, so have fun spying.
