Why do we tell stories?

We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.

But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.

The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun.

With The Quest, Chapter 24 returns with seven stories in sound collected from artists across the world to bring these themes to life.

NHAR (My Favorite Robot, Correspondant) is a consummate storyteller, and he opens the book with the glistening space tech of 'Navigli'. This is quickly followed up by newcomer Dan Grassler, whose superb 'Going Back' with US vocalist KnowKontrol is powerfully brooding and promises great things for the Munich-based producer.

The momentum picks up further with the standout 'Over My Head', a dark and delicious cut from two returning Chapter 24 artists, Alex Zed and Billie Fountain.

The label welcomes Teho and Machino for their inaugural releases on the imprint. Frenchman Teho (Herzblut, Parquet) serves up a double helping of delight with the skilfully crafted 'Back To The Forest' and the tense tech house of 'Drunken Leads'. Meanwhile, Machino (Desert Hearts), one of a new wave of Tijuana-based producers, showcases his unique blend of potent techno and ambient influences on 'Perdidos'.

Finally, Melodule and Van Did bring the tales to a close with 'Téou 12', a dreamy, abstract piece that showcases wonky basslines, drifting pads and engaging sound design.

They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories. 

And so, as the storyteller utters that age old, magical phrase "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away…

Released on Friday 16th September.

Early support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Nicole Moudaber, Edu Imbernon, Robert Babicz, Guy J, DJ T, Betoko, Denis A, Above & Beyond, Nick Warren, D-Nox, Alexi Delano, ANNA, Cristoph, Silicone Soul, Darin Epsilon, Cid Inc, Chris Fortier, David Granha, Anthony Pappa, Third Son, Olivier Weiter, Soul Button, Marc Poppcke, Franz Alice Stern, Jonas Saalbach, Baikal, Gai Barone, Elias Tzikas, Lonya, Tim Engelhardt and many more!

Seven Stories: The Quest

Navigli

Nhar - Navigli *Out Now*

Last year Rebirth Records celebrated 10 years with the release of the acclaimed compilation selected and mixed by Larry Heard. We are now happy to present 'Rebirth 10 Remixed': a special collection, available on a limited 2x12” vinyl edition, and three digital parts, including brand new versions of some of the classics of the label in the first ten years.

The first part includes remixes from Red Axes, Rampa, Modular Project and VVV. The hot Tel Aviv duo Red Axes bring their trademark new wave sound to a tropical dimension remixing Robytek's 'Luna Africana' combining unusual melodies of bells, chimes and perc drums. The Keinemusik boss Rampa is back with a killer remix of 'Deep Musique' by Pasta Boys Feat. Osunlade, definitely another dancefloor peak time cut on Rebirth. The italian duo Modular Project add their electronic-balearic touch to the Blond:ish vocal anthem ‘Wizard of Love’, while the misterious bass producer VVV reworks another classic on the label, ‘Crossroads’ by T-Polar, giving us a sublte but heavy deep and futuristic synth work. 

The cover sleeve is a work by Emil Schult, who has created a painting especially for the Rebirth's Anniversary. Emil is known for his work with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. Schult's collaboration with founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider saw him actively involved in writing lyrics as well as generating the design for some of the band's most famous covers.

Dub Garden

was born out of a desire to create a reggae, reggae-dub project tinged with multiple influences.
The project's founder, Lausanne-based producer, composer and percussionist Daniel
"Cicco" Ciccone, Aka "DADDY GORILLA", has always been keen to collaborate with other artists: singers, musicians, co-producers or sound engineers.

The list of collaborations has continued to grow since 2016 with the release of the first six-track Ep "Crossroads" and then the album "World Disorder".

Following their first music video, "Blood pon di street", produced in Dakar in 2016, the band toured Senegal in 2017, then went on to play a number of concerts in Switzerland in an original, never-before-seen format (Selecta and musicians).
The band performs at many renowned festivals and clubs, sharing the bill with groups such as Danakil, Alborosie, Lee Scratch Perry, Naman, Cali P, The Gladiators, Aswad, Iba Mahr, Mister Vegas...

The desire to play in a "full band" matured during the covid period and became more and more present. Today, this desire has become a reality!

ELEKTREES currently features an acoustic line-up of six talented musicians. Vocals, keyboards, guitar, drums, bass, percussion, featuring the engaging lyrics of singer Irie Pit, who evokes subjects such as solidarity, unity, tolerance, respect, love...
which is the basis of the message we want to convey through our music.
