Leading Australian touring brand Thick As Thieves launch new in-house label as they welcome German duo Super Flu to deliver their ‘Pancham’ EP, accompanied by a remix from rising Australian pairing The Journey.

An influential name down under for the last decade, Melbourne-based event favourites Thick As Thieves continue to lead the way when it comes to the curation of international and local talent within the Australian house and techno scene. Featuring as the country’s premier touring company, bringing names such as Patrick Topping, Claptone, Andhim, ANNA, Rebüke, and Mathew Jonson to name just a few to Australian soil over the past few years, April sees a new string added to the brand’s bow as they launch their new self-titled in-house imprint, continuing their ethos of ‘Raising The Vibration’.

“There’s such creative talent out there pushing the boundaries of sound, and some are bound to get my attention. There needed to be an outlet to introduce those sounds and warm up a few ears prior to taking on these artists at tour level. It’s always a bonus when the dancefloor erupts, and an artist is playing their own track or remix. Sometimes it’s the difference between an average gig and a gig that’s etched into the memory. Here’s a chance for the Thick As Thieves crew to give these artists our best shot at raising the vibration all round.” - Mike Toner, Thick As Thieves

Developed naturally across the past ten years, the label will bring tracks discovered on the dancefloor to a global audience and serve as a home for fresh music from leading international names including Monkey Safari alongside exciting, rising Australian talent such as Not Just Me. Kicking things off, 9th April welcomes the label’s debut release courtesy of leading German duo Super Flu, who step up to deliver their entrancing ‘Pancham’ EP following music via the likes of Dynamic, Crosstown Rebels, and Moon Harbour, backed by a remix from emerging Melbourne-based duo, The Journey.

Title cut ‘Pancham’ showcases the German pairing at their best, combining crisp organic percussion with wavering synths, eerie eastern-influenced melodies and rolling grooves, whilst ‘Nicotine’ weaves off-kilter leads atop of wandering stabs, sharp drum licks and snaking low-ends to showcase two original cuts packed full of quality. Rounding out proceedings, rising Melbourne pairing Jacob Malmo and Tom Evans, aka The Journey, up the energy and introduce pulsating bass patterns, vocal chants and hair-raising builds throughout their interpretation of ‘Nicotine’ - shaping up a slick label debut from one of Australia’s most important players within the house and techno landscape.

Super Flu ‘Pancham’ EP drops via Thick As Thieves on 9th April 2021.

Southern Cross
(from the album Last Exit Space


Yes, it's romance! The Berlin DJs and producers Niconé and Dirty have created a beautiful, spherical album  “Last Exit Space”: 

111 BPM, 11 tracks, 1 story. 

This album is so different from what the two Berlin DJs and producers have released so far - it is music to listen to, to dream about, to relax, to chill, to wind down and to escape from reality a little bit
Southern Cross

3,2,1 -  Let the countdown begin. The first single from the album Last Exit Space, Southern Cross, conveys the feeling of being before the rocket launch into space. Great excitement, maximum anticipation. Guided by a strong synth line, driven by spacy breakbeats elements and a dreamy melodic hookline, this track will raise the question, is space the last resort? Get lost in music

Nick Curly brings his latest Truesoul release to the table – a pumping, rolling two track EP. The EP holds heavy drums, deep synths and many tinkering high hats. The effortless groove in the tracks captures a real feel for what Nick is capable of. Each beat is chunky, groovy and works in a harmonious juxtaposition with the melodies Nick creates. ‘Helter Skelter’ is a real belter!

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.

A true master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to just one synth, resulting in “interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice”.

Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX 1 and HARMONIX 2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere.

Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, and released on labels including; Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir.

Artist: James Trystan
Label: Ritter Butzke Studio
Catalogue No.: RBS184
Release-Date: 10.04.2020

„Project X“ by James Trystan creeps and pushes it's way on the dance floor. With a
memorable sequence combined with a dark and energetic beat the sweat will pouring
until ecstasy. “Aerial” comes with a smooth laid back rhythmic synth that catches
the ear and the feet alike. Still forward but light and bright for easing moments to
catch some breath.
Several Definitions delivers a pumping remix to “Project X” that gives the original
a somewhat deeper big beat groove and some twisted curling sounds. After a cranked
up break it delivers a fulfilling and surprising drop. Hands up!
„Project X“ will be out on the 10th of April
