Das Sind Wir steps up to the plate with a smooth and funky second release – this time featuring Death On the Balcony. Heavenly vocals scrape the sky, while laced throughout are consistently, and somewhat aquatic-sounding, bass lines and fat bending synths on each tune.

Best Foot Forward is a heavy groove that takes us straight to the stratosphere with its rising pads. Enjoy the preview as we gear up for the release!

The melodic keys and bouncing bass on Good Things Are Gonna Come give a solid nod to those bright moments in acid house. It rounds out the warm and deep release with a soulful burst of optimism we seek to find out on the dance floor.

We couldn't be more excited to share this recording from Eddie C from the last Das Sind Wir Showcase, hosted by Underground Souls in Santa Barbara. It was a treat to have our good friend bless a bit of California's coastal paradise with some damn fine tunes. The party went down on the terrace at EOS Lounge, and the dance floor was shoulder to shoulder from start to finish. Eddie did what he does best, and spread that love through his choice selections. 

We hope you enjoy the latest Das Sind Wir Mixtape as much as we do!

Thanks to all who came out to get down, and thank you to all who have supported us over the last two years. 

Much love!

"Don't Fail Me Now" offers deep, warehouse vibes that bring to mind an unlikely union of UK heavy hitters Jessie Ware and Radiohead. From the opening percussive bounce, to the ethereal vocal and synth dreamscape that cloaks the middle, it builds onward to its fevered, jittery climax (where everything is in its right place). This standout pushes and pulls like a strobe light on a dimmer switch circling the drain... almost out of range of its beckoning. 

On "Less Method, More Madness", Tone of Arc displays some unique elements of his production skills and musicianship. Glitchy, seemingly off-time delays and echoes surround warbling bells and bass notes, playing "Marco Polo" with the grid. Clocking in at over ten minutes in length, much of the fun here is the length of the song itself. Liquid percolations and breathy chords cap this stellar release from Tone of Arc, leaving the listener to ponder if it's possible to experience rain at 50 fathoms...

A variety of music coming from Das Sind Wir's Cole Odin! It was recorded at our friend Evita's weekly morning party, After Dawn, this was the kick off from 6-8am, with label head Trev Campbell joining friend of the fam, Bob V (as the duo known as "These Guys") rocking it after... It showcases a lot of what Cole is known for- moving it around through vibes, genres and tempos, while not leaving you feeling lurched. With his own original material and remixes on the DSW label mixed in with others by such names as Boogie Corporation, Cornelius, Solar, The Mole, Markus Gibb, Still Going, Pezzner, Subway, Fat Freddy's Drop, Psychemagik and more, it's a rockin', funkin' original experience... Hop on!

Das Sind Wir Mixtape 005 - Cole Odin

The 8th release from San Francisco (and beyond)'s Das Sind Wir label offers music befitting the mystique of a 7th son. The first vinyl release from San Francisco musician, DJ, artist, and promoter Cole Odin (who also goes by the moniker Ownership), "Dawn's Approaching" is dance music that aims to be regarded as a SONG rather than a track. With 4 takes on the tune (rolling through a gamut of vibes), there's something in the stocking for everyone.

It opens with the original mix- a mid-tempo, psyche-rock-tinged exercise in deep balearica. The percussive-layered, kick-driven beat ebbs and flows, but never drops out, while droning synths reminiscent of the psychedelic rock band Spiritualized weave around a dubby bass line. Adding to said bliss, Cole's ethereal vocals gurgle in and out at the start and close, bookending his main vocal which posits ideas of taking the high road in the name of better discourse. The production is understated, adding to the druggy haze that the performance and song-writing instills. Frankly, it's a beautiful tune.

The 2nd slot is Cole's Shhhh Dub mix. In this one, the emphasis is on the vibes, where the main vocal drops out, opting for the bass line to climb from shotgun to driver's seat. The drones still drone. The ebbs still flow. And the ghostly crooning as the lone human voice keeps the song safely tethered in smokey atmospheres.

Psychemagik needs no introduction, and they transform the track into a stunningly gorgeous dance-floor destroyer. Starting with a filtered beat, we eventually get to hear the falsetto backing vocals brought to the front, which with its raw realness, comes across as heartfelt and charming. When the first break in the action comes, we're introduced to a new melodic patch that will remind seasoned listeners of the Underworld classic "Rez" (an intentioned homage, says Tom of Psychemagik). After that percolates to a climax, the groove slams back in with a simple bass throb hitting hard. At this point heads nod in opposition to hips, and the rocker goes full fucking tilt. When the final drop out occurs and Cole's command to "Fall in line, reunite!" comes crashing in with triumph, hands will be raised, and feet will be stomped.

Rounding it out is a ying to the yang. SF-based DJ/producer/promoter CJ Larsen teams with DSW label head Trev Campbell for a more straight ahead house take on the tune. For this remix, the tempo gets kicked up a bit and CJ & Trev offer a funky new bass line to accompany the chords, swirls, and ethereal vocals from the original, in this bouncing, spacey closer to the 8th dip in the pool from DSW.
