After his first two one-off singles “Black Pegasus” and “Day Without
You” introduced DJ Swagger’s massive songwriting abilities and
love for recording instruments, his first album on Kommerz Records,

“Chemistry Forever”, showcases his background in UK-leaning elec-
tronic music as well as new tendencies towards neo soul, indie pop

and jazz. Welcome DJ Swagger to the Kommerz Records stage and
prepare for the album to drop on March 22nd.
The 25-year-old from West Germany’s Bielefeld is pretty much the
archetype of a so-called Wunderkind. At his young age the producer,
DJ, multi instrumentalist and songwriter released more than 40 vinyl

records including two solo albums and endless rave tracks since turn-
ing 16. As of most recently and even though coming from an electronic

music background DJ Swagger’s creative agenda ventured more and
more into classic songwriting and taking over the role of lead vocalist

of his one-man-band. His third solo album “Chemistry Forever” show-
cases this transformation from UK-influenced electronica towards

neo soul and indie without losing its listeners at any point. His subtle
melancholic vocal performance and the just as subtle, yet constant
pop appeal make this equation solve itself magically. From electro, 2
step and breakbeat over hip-hop, indie and R&B to a final bebop (!)
madness – “Chemistry Forever” is a trip for music lovers while each
and every song has heavy potential to be listened to on repeat.
Besides his own vocal performances DJ Swagger also invited rappers
TripSixVivo (London), Vitus04 (Bielefeld), Kaba (Paris) and poet Dainell
Aiken (NYC) for mesmerizing guest perfomances. Additional production
work came from Hamburg dance producer Speckman and jazz outfit
Jonas Gersema Trio.
Aaaand since we called him a Wunderkind: Be aware that he’s not only
a next level musician, but studied graphic designer, illustrator and
most likely many more things. Just an example: Most recently he sold
self-made perfumed candles through his D.I.Y. label and fashion brand
Goddess Music. He obviously designed everything around the album,
directed the music videos and merch drops are to be expected.
For us, brothers Lukas and Jonathan, the love story goes way back
though. In the midst of the long gone lo-fi house hysteria (2017-2018)
we discovered the Bielefeld native‘s dance floor productions, which
fused hip-hop braggadocio with pumping electronic music. We kept
following up on his ever evolving musical journey into new genres
and felt super honored when he reached out to release his upcoming
projects via Kommerz.
„Chemistry Forever“ will be released on March 22nd on vinyl and all
digital platforms!

CHEMISTRY FOREVER

Destiny

Respect the fact

TEKLIFE014  DJ DEEON - Destiny EP - 03 Respect The Fact

Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Ayesha (@aye5ha) lines up a four-track EP with Scuffed Recordings, channelling percussive techno, breaks, and bass.

The Potential Energy EP bears all the hallmarks of the sonic universe that Ayesha has made her own on previous releases for the likes of Fever AM, Kindergarten Records, Control Freak, and Daytimers.

Aptly-named opener ‘Potential Energy’ is a rallying cry for the current moment in dance music, as clubs in parts of the world begin to open and ravers release the pent-up energy of the past eighteen months.

‘Ecstatic Descent’ is up next and lives up to its title with euphoric arpeggios sprinkled liberally over heavy, syncopated breaks.

Third track ‘We Be Bubblin’ encapsulates Ayesha’s approach to sound design and sample selection, with playful bubbling sounds and vocodered vocals dancing over driving percussion.

Ending the EP is ‘Dark Matter’, the fastest and heaviest track of the bunch, which saw its first outing during Yung Singh’s already-legendary Boiler Room set as part of the Daytimers takeover.

Picking up on the launch of Marie Montexier’s Paryìa label with a trippy EP by a.b.u.3.0.3., the second release comes from the Dublin based shooting star Small Crab.

The Skin & Blister founding member delivers three percussive breaky tracks that highlight a wide range of her musical influences. Combining smooth textures with tribal rhythms the ’Flowing with Honey’ EP perfectly rounds off with a bass heavy remix by London based producer Talik, who recently gained attention through highly acclaimed releases on 3024 and Intercept.

After 2 back to back solo EPs by Justin Jay, and Patrik Cure, we are back with another electro inspired Various Artists compilation, CDMUSIC008.

This release is without a doubt our most diverse line up to date, including artists from Canada, USA, Finland, Germany, Argentina & Pakistan.

This one is aimed at peak time rave music. Booming 808s, squelching 303s, tight drums, and droning synths. All the good stuff we love about electro. As you have come to expect from us, all of these tracks are inspired by the classic Detroit sound, but also reflect a lot of other modern influences. Expect a few techno & breaks flavours scattered about.

This pack features music by label head Garneau, Club Designs alumni Stuster, and a series of new comers. Danny Goliger, buen clima, Shanx, sardalove, Rudoh & RiDylan making their label debut on this release. You can expect solo releases from these great producers in the future.

Release date for this new pack is March 31st, if you find a place for these in your DJ sets and radio shows, pls let us know.
