Rein - Morning Dew

For this striking 7th EP, we are lucky to have Mr. Ho back for another massive delivery. This time complete with fully versatile house music.

A1 “Burrow” storms out the gate with an acid attack. The spooky bassline, punchy drums, and acidic atmosphere makes this the complete peak time bomb. Then the EP smoothly roles into the A2, “TCB”. A loopy, repetitive drum pattern that is guaranteed to feature for many on repeat mode. For B1’s “Shoplift” Mr. Ho brings out the melody. This is a feel-good tune featuring an old school jungle-like drum pattern that makes this a great summer outdoor weapon. Finally, Mr. Ho's Klasse Wreck partner in crime Luca Locazono provides a silkier twist on “Shoplift” for a vinyl only remix.    

This EP provides a whole spectrum of tools for house heads. Groovy, melodic, banging, or loopy, Mr. Ho has got them all covered.

PREMIERE⚡️Mr. Ho - Shoplift [JIN]

Die Orakel welcomes Frankfurt based @n9oc to its lookup-tables, hotwiring its community based operating system anew with 'Memory Allocator'. Her sonic information design echoes both fast-paced and beatless, early and spaced out melodic british IDM, complementing any 90s informed chord-code library. Compiling six sense altering code snippets onto vinyl, n9oc’s 'Memory Allocator' is future proof with any higher AI or real life form to come.

"Estonian oddball Roma Vjazemski eases Berceuse Heroique back into the original production saddle with a killer suite of wheezing folk-dub synth sketches landing somewhere between Wah Wah Wino, Pretty Sneaky, Aeson Zervas and Civilistjävel!, doing their thing around a Baltic campfire.

The eight part session is the label's first tape of original works since turns by Al Wootton and Tradecraft aka Carrier last year, quietly regaling a slow burning instrumental yarn with lyrically poetic fingers on the keys and in its flickering downbeats. It’s the sort of music that feels to exist in its own dreamy time and space; unfussed or hurried by trend or commercial urgency, happy to glaze over the 3rd eye and unravel to its own atmospheric physics and pace.

With ambidextrous mutability, Vjazemski loosely limns the vibe via lines of rippling rhythmelodic thought on a trip from deliquescent dub minimalism in ‘Wired’, to the alien digi-dub of ‘Cryto’. He variously invokes mountain folk synth spectres in the very Wah Wah Wino-esque lope of ’Nhava’, thru curdled industrial curios on ‘Royal Brown’, and near passing out in a Estonian sweatbox with the wrung-out blips of ‘Sauna Belt’ - reminding us of Bergheim 34’s supremely sick, inexplicably forgotten 1999 bullet ‘Sechstrack’ for Klang Elektronik.

That fine seam of late night suss really comes out best in the glowing tone of ‘5am’ and likewise the smouldering embers of psych-folk dirge in the keening drones and crackle of ’Still Old’ and its ‘Ode to Outro’ like some lovesick mellotron"

Release Date: February 28th, 2025
Once upon a time, or maybe in another universe, Urei Lazar was born. Or so the story goes. His music is genre-free, weird in the best way, and drenched in the mystery of outer space, UFOs, and the kind of alternate dimensions you’d find in a wild dream. Now he’s landing on Earth, or rather, on Apparel Tronic’s “White” catalogue, with his debut record on the label: Sightings. It’s a 5-track journey that’s part storytelling, part exploration of what "other" can sound like. Breakbeat grooves, glitchy textures, Leftfield vibes, and IDM brilliance all blend together as Urei Lazar shows us a glimpse of life from his imagined worlds. SCHiLLiNG, one of the brains behind Apparel Tronic, jumps on remix duty, twisting one of the tracks into his own shape-shifting piece. SCHiLLiNG also teamed up with Kisk (the other co-captain of the label) to cook up the album art—a perfect visual match for music that’s so out-there. This record isn’t just experimental; it’s wild, mind-bending, and downright amazing. Whether Urei Lazar’s tunes are here to tell us a story from another universe or just to remind us there’s more to life than what we know, Sightings is the proof we needed that we’re not alone in the musical cosmos.

Die Orakel is a Frankfurt based music platform run by Oliver Hafenbauer.

Die Orakel (Engl. the oracles) might not know it all but has the capacity to observe and sense it: Oliver Hafenbauer's imprint operates as an experimental field for electronic music on the playfully indecisive end where it exceeds genre-specificity to focus on tunes that function beyond. This is not to say that there are no four-to-the-floor productions. The Frankfurt-based label features contributions by artists like Reptant, Poly Chain, Edward, Roman Flügel, upsammy or O-Wells, all known as dance floor doyens. The releases yet encompass what can slip the attention on a traditional dance label. Uplifting and downtempo appear here as two categories that do not exclude each other. The visual representation of the venture is undertaken by Stefan Haag and label boss Oliver Hafenbauer himself, who have a clear approach to communicating Die Orakel’s standards.
