Booka Shade are Berlin-based duo Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, and have emerged as one of the most pioneering electronic music acts of the past two decades. Booka Shade return with their new album ‘Eve’ released through Armada Music December 13th, preceded by first single ‘Love Inc’, released on December 9th.

For their fifth studio album Booka Shade wanted to tell a new story, a story which represented a new beginning for them after they had almost split up during the first half of the production. In order to create something exciting they needed to be somewhere exciting and in search of inspiration headed to the UK home of electronic music, Manchester, to record at the acclaimed Eve studios, a residential vintage recording studio. This is where they found themselves together again, where the music came to life and why the album is named after the studio.

“We recorded an electronic album in a traditional way and it made us feel like a band again, it was like going back to the beginning. ”

The 12 track album includes special guests Fritz Helder (Azari & III), Fritz Kalkbrenner, and Groove Armada’s Andy Cato on trombone. Artwork was conceived and designed by La Boca to provide a rich and vivid visual accompaniment to ‘Eve’.

Booka Shade singles have historically been both underground sensations and club hits (such as ‘Mandarine Girl’ and ‘Body Language’) and new single ‘Love Inc’ looks set to follow in those footsteps. ‘Love Inc’ is infused with pure club sound, paying a contemporary homage to Chicago’s former king of house, Lil Louis, whose 1992 hit ‘Club Lonely’ serves as the track’s sample. Friend and art director Thomas Hayo was brought on board to direct the song’s music video in the vein of their last collaboration on “Sweet Lies”. Details to be announced.

Remixes come from artists including: Hot Since 82, Butch, Emperor Machine and ABBY.

Booka Shade - Love Inc (Hot Since 82 Remix)

Just after the release of her magnificent Watergate-Compilation we are glad to announce La Fleur's new EP. "Arms Around" and "Stella" already appeared as exclusive material on "Watergate 16" and will be available as stand-alone versions on our in-house label.

The eponymous track is reminiscent of the melodic early-noughties, arouses nostalgia and makes us want to dance barefooted in the sunlight. The dreamy, synth-driven break guarantees a proverbial "Arms Around"-effect on the floor, just before the euphoric bassline kicks in again, accompanied by rattling hi-hats.

On the contrary, "Stella" is a reduced deep-house track, carried by filtered pads, vocal shreds and a never ending groove.

"Arms Around" was remixed by nobody less than Carl Craig. His "Affected Rmx" keeps the originals' charm but increases its intensity with precise accents. 

The EP will be released on June 23rd 2014 on vinyl and digital.

1) Piemont - On
2) Piemont - Inhale

 Already having released on labels like Area Remote, Exploited, and Toolroom, German duo Piemont have delivered a 2 track EP ‘On / Inhale’ to Definition:Music. Frederic and Chris are already well known for their flavor of infectious tech house; and this EP is no exception. With ‘On’ wasting little time in getting straight to business. The track brings a solid house beat that supports a lively and warm ambience sprinkled with vocal bits and rising pads. The next adventure is ‘Inhale’, a bit more funky and soulful blend of tech house with an even warmer and almost sunny vibe under the arpeggios and guitars. A beautiful track for late night or daytime sets alike.

Piemont - On

Dark and brooding with taste bud-tingling acidity, ‘Hook Up’ is the DFTD debut from German duo The Glitz. Accompanied by a stunning video that brings to life the track’s otherworldly bleeps and squelches, ‘Hook Up’ is a meaty club record executed with finesse. Driven by a relentless kick drum, with clashing harmonies creating tension and heavily-filtered vocals from Fadila that sustain the track’s unnatural atmosphere, The Glitz demonstrate a distinct and intelligent forward-thinking sound. The video, shot within a deserted landscape and featuring one lone dancer, draws out the futuristic beauty of the track, making this DFTD release the full package.

Tapesh was brought up in his father’s clubs during the early 80s, where he had no choice but to listen to things like Kraftwerk and proper funk music. Given his impressionable young ears, it’s no wonder he has never stopped listening and now spends his days playing music to others. Having finally broken through into the public conscious thanks to productions like Reminisce on Get Physical, Feelings on Mobilee as well as others on labels like Noir and Defected, Tapesh has become very much in demand around the world, taking his flamboyant DJ sets to clubs like Cocoon in Frankfurt, Warung in Brazil and Studio 80 in the Netherlands.





With multi-cultural roots informed by everything from house to breakdance across scenes in UK, US and Europe, Tapesh has fomented a very unique DJ style that takes in plenty of sounds and knits them together into one grater whole. Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, DJ T and Anja Schneider, for example, are all fans of that special ‘Tapesh feeling’, and that same feeling is what makes the man’s music so well loved. As for the future, Tapesh is currently working on a new compilation and a full artist album as well as working on new singles and EPs all the while.
