Berlin based label and creative collective operating in the left-field sphere of electronic music since 2002.

Label, booking agency & online record store

A seal of quality. It's the banner for a global network of friendships and creativity and - let's not forget - parties.
Made in Berlin. International. One of the most polyphonic chords ever struck by an electronic music label: Techno, Electronica, Indie, IDM, Pop, Beats, Song Writing. 
What matters is music that moves: bodies, spirits, emotions.

Among his fans, Andy Schneider is considered one of the most impassioned and dedicated DJs in San Francisco. However, he isn't on a meteoric rise to global nightlife domination. He's isn't pushing any envelopes or riding the cutting edge of the future, but instead is on an obsessive mission to curate and preserve a moment of the past. You're actually much more likely to find him hunched over used record bins than over a DJ booth, maniacally pawing until his hands are black with acetate residue. And he's just fine with that.

Andy Schneider's simply a self-empowered devotee of the gone-but-not-forgotten sound that captured his robot heart long ago: late century Boxed and Northern Exposed progressive house. This devotion garnered him one of URB magazines's unsigned artist of the month features, a Proton Bedroom Bedlam win followed by Artist of the Week, and residencies and radio appearances across the west coast. His catalogue of unlicensed mixes has won over audiences of all levels of dance appreciation, including the DJ luminaries who originally inspired his pursuit.

As the local scene shifted, Andy stubbornly stuck to his beloved big drums, long mixes, and lush melodies - regularly scouring the city for orphaned vinyl to add to the archive. While not the most commercially viable move, it continues to reward him with a dedicated following of local devotees who catch his rare San Francisco sets, and an international following who collect his labor-of-love compilations. 

He splits his time between performing live hand percussion alongside SF's finest DJs as Ammo, and lovingly weaving choons that will take you on the proverbial journey, as well as a trip down memory lane.
