Sveiciens sweeties!

Unbeknown to human eyes, it slowly spreads and spans across the soil. Well guarded from sunlight it grows inside until it comes to fruition in its whole glory. Have a taste, don’t be shy. Mycelia are interwoven with forest floors and provide a most subtle form of communication. Under the veil of darkness words are not important anymore, our feelings will lead the way through doors of deception into a world that’s strangely parallel to the one we accepted as the real one for so long. What is real anyway?

Well. Honestly we don’t know any more than you. But what’s definitely real is the feels we get from this beautiful collage of sounds, carefully crafted to perfection by Ameli Paul. The Berlin based duo has already made quite the name for themselves with their enchanting live performances and releases. Just like the universe, their catalogue and ours alike (and maybe soon even your vinyl collection) expands with Mycelia.

Spanning from a hot and hungry rave-ioli approach at dance floors over into a soft and cozy fireplace cuddle, just for a second though, only to hop back onto the dance floor with nothing less than a double remix by brutalo-disco hero Curses and finished off with Brigade pulling out the whipped cream and sprinkles on the opener, this release may as well be called a micro album instead of the ordinary acronym “EP”. Or mini at least.

Anyways, we are maximally delighted to welcome the two on our little adventure label.
May these songs offer you some (de)light in the upcoming months of darkness, you are not alone out there.

Love,

Drosssel

Ameli Paul — Mycelia (DSSL013)

Grüezi gorgeous!

There’s just something about stringed instruments that touches our shaken souls, embraces them, lifts them up and tosses them around until we lose track of time and space. Some people experiment with psychedelics to reach that effect, you really just need ears though. Not to say they won’t subsidize, but that’s a matter for another time.

Put those strings into context, give them space to breathe, support them with a rhythmic backbone, throw in a metaphorical surfboard and they will call themselves “ali dada”.
The swiss/intergalactic formation consisting of Orlando Ludens, mfjaeger and Max Licht join our little trip sitting outlet with their soothing “empa nada” EP.

Reminiscent of surf rock and shoegaze from the golden days, taken into the future with some modular goodness and further musical machinery, the trio delivers four timeless pieces of cosmic proportions. Nothing seems rigid here, rules don’t apply, a sense of improvisation hangs in the room, even after the last bar fades. Music for melting into your couch, or getting your first sunburn of the season, as well as putting another log into the fireplace.
Timeless, as I mentioned earlier.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve added four ingenious takes on those originals, ranging from even dubbier shores right onto the dancefloors. The bands own mfj goes first with a mind bending extension of “lauf”, handing the torch over to beat breaking Chewlie who deconstructed “empa nada”, followed by a weird house take on “sofaul” from our dearest Fereinwonung Koratien, who contributed the wildly trippy artwork as well, finished off with a definite stomper twist of “late” by IroniMo who wouldn’t take any chances.

Ten artists, eight songs, one task left for you: Press play and get washed away.

Forever yours,

D r o sss e l

ali dada — empa nada (DSSL015)

What a year!

Just when it felt like there was already enough drama going on for a whole century in a tiny decade, things became worse and more confusing by the hour. A sadly too well known Russian dictator started invading Ukraine in early 2022 and as of the years end is not showing signs of retreat. 

The time to not be political has clearly come to an end and so we set out to empathize with our sisters and brothers that have lost their homes, ripped their lives apart and express our condolence to those that have lost their loved ones. There is very little in our power to help, but with this compilation we try to raise at least a little money to help those in need. 

Since we're a record label and not an NGO we decided to forward 100% of the profits to Blindspots e.V., an organisation dedicated to help distribute material donations and evacuate people from embattled cities. You can read more about their work here:

We're thankful to have so many talented artists who are willing to support this cause and hope you will enjoy this colourful spread of musical expression.

Close your eyes.

Breathe.

Do you feel the universe expanding around you? Or does it all just stop?
You know it doesn’t, but it’s a different thing to really grasp. The longer you keep those peepers behind their lids, the world starts to drift apart farther and farther.

Given you’re in a relatively safe environment and not like the middle of the road or something, keep staring at the inside of your head for a little longer. Some might call it meditation, some taking a break. The name doesn’t matter though. It really doesn’t. What matters is embracing the space you occupy at this very moment until it begins to embrace you.

You don’t need this new suit, or the latest yPhone, or those weirdly cheap chimes from that online shore. All you need is yourself and the knowledge that what happens happens. 
Oh, and maybe Lemonella to create the retreat you need, with the flick of a switch and the turn of the delay knob. 

Then – and only then – you can begin to bring color to the world around you.

Eyes open, or closed.

Drip. Drip. Drop.

The sweat is running down your neck.
Your melon popsicle is doing the same on the inside.
But somehow the temperature keeps rising, leaving you stuck in slow motion.

Dip. Dip. Hop.

The pool is just lying there. Waiting for you to take into its cool, wet arms.
But you are shy. It’s been a while since you last swam a round. 
There is no way around it, take the jump into the deep end.

Slip. Slip. Plop.

Good thing lifeguard Isabeau Fort always keeps an eye out for you.
For a second there it looked like you’d fall on your back.
Better take it slow on the wet floor.

Drip.
DDrriipp.
DDDrrriiippp.

After the unreal feeling of abeyance in the heat-laden air, big drops of rain finally soak the lush greens that lie beneath. They have been thirsty for so long and now the heavens break royally. 
Under the clouds’ effusions leaves begin to dance and jump and bathe in this liquid glory.

There may be a lot to tend to, but mother nature will never forget her children. Humanity poses some great challenges but just as it has endured many of its own, the planet will endure the growing pains of this kind that keeps fighting for a place instead of healing itself and its surroundings. 

Pages are turning, future history is being written. Directions need to be rearranged. What will prevail is love and sound and unity. Duh. Merits of rave culture since its chaotic beginning. The rave evolves, but the chaos maintains. This is where Tanz Franz comes into the picture.

An eager lover set out to tame the chaos. 
Or does he fuel it maybe? 
He most definitely thrives in it and that is what counts right now.
Just listen and you will see.

Connecting………beep..…..
……fzzzZzzzzz. .. . .. … …..
*BING*

Ring ..ding ..ding ..ding 
Coiling through telephone string
The only direction is forward 
Is it forward? Or upward? 

*fzZzzzz* 

Thousands of little lightning bolts are flashing around you and even though you feel like moving in slow motion the world around you feels like a blur. You couldn’t say how long this has been going on, neither would you want to. The electricity took a hold of you and you’ve embraced the unknown up to a point where the borders of yourself are nothing but memories: hard to hold on to.

Conductor Rufus Rabatz entered our experimental realms and delivered us with a powerful mixture of electrifying slow tech. Or is it slow? Who is counting anyway? Anyways, enjoy this feature length mixtape of deep and dirty tunes and if you like, show him some love!

The trees are swaying calmly in this balmy breeze.

The heat today was challenging, but as our burning star begins to hide for the night, temperatures return to a milder range. Fireflies start to swarm around you and cicadas are chirping in the distance. Feels good to be out of the city for once.

The asphalt jungle chased you away with its shimmering streets and emetic green bins and you’ve found refuge in the lush and lazy countryside. Among trees and meadows you wind down from the stress that comes with a modern life.

But hey! 
One of those birch trees doesn’t quite fit with the rest. 
And with a closer look you realise: 
It’s DJ BIRCH, swaying with the rest of the white barked giants, creaking as she moves from side to side. You decide to approach her and as you get within a few feet, the creaking turns into a rhythm that makes you sway as well.

And so you all sway through the night until the big red burning star shows herself again behind a hill.

Little by little, the bird builds its nest.

Some of them meticulously collect twigs, vines and whatnot to build their little cups in the tree forks. Others are as lazy as scraping a little depression into the ground to lay their eggs. Then there are those chirpers that excavate whole tunnels into walls of earth and those that do it in the trees. 

The eccentric ones like to build floating homes on the water. And there also are feathered freaks that weave their entire home out of small blades of grass, or even more insane: from a single leaf. They all are talented and creative builders (except maybe for those lazy scrapers…), patching all sorts of found materials together to make a home. 

Joining their ranks now is Leipzig based selector extraordinaire Anna Malysz, patching together all sorts of heartfelt tunes into a whopping two hour mixtape. With a diverse range from Pop to Underground she can house quite a lot of hungry listeners. So go on eggheads, let momma Anna feed you those delicious waves.

Chirp chirp!

Heaven is cloudy, streets are muddy, windows are steamy.

Layers upon layers upon layers seem to be the only way to block out the damp cold.
And with multiple pairs of socks you can’t even feel the ground below your feet anymore.
Like a mug inside bubble wrap you are traveling through the twilight. 

There are days on which the darkness outside feels like an exact mirror of the gloom inside.
The few hours of daylight aren’t enough to charge your batteries, let alone warm you up.
What you need on those days is a hot cup of tea and a pair of speakers delivering premium sound waves. Or headphones for that matter. The choice is yours.

The waves are brought to you by Marabou from the infamous Berlin Schrott Rec. gang.
A fine selection of dream-like synthesizer lines paired with driving beats that would even keep a  lake from freezing up. Solid tunes for wonky feet. 

Take care and don’t trip!

Once again, the snake bites its own tail.

A new cycle begins, another roundtrip through the dark universe ahead. What will happen? Who knows? We certainly don’t.
We do know there will be music, obviously.

To make sure of that, we saved the wurst for last and send you off softly into the new year with Sucuk&Salami. They prepared quite the whirl to get you spinning, so good luck knowing what year exactly it will be, when you get out on the other end.

But before you get all dizzy, we want to wish all of you the best 2023 there can be. Loads of love, dances, and laughs. Always watch where you’re going and be kind to each other.

See you on the other side ❤️

his is not a friendly reminder to drink more water (even though you really should), this is a sonic journey into a time that smells like a camp fire, feels like denim and instead of cowbells you can hear the bell bottoms slurp. 

Slurp…. Hmmm… 

Since it’s already on the table, why don’t you have a slurp from that nice cold water. Don’t worry, the only acid in there is from a juicy slice of lemon and you’ll only need to hit the play button to tune in. 

DJ Trinkwasser is doing his job as a musical archivist very well and just like from a well he unearthes the finest tunes from an era where the computers were big and the hair was long. 
Bottoms up and volume as well, enjoy an adequately sized dose of liquid nostalgia.

Hello stranger! 

It has been quite a lovely journey for us so far. 
We are happy to have so many talented and open-minded people around, to pursue our shared love for slowmotion. 

Now we proudly give you our first free-track by @hobta & @rdn-altea. 
The boys made a move on Señora's beautiful song "Idolina" and put some more of that sweet sweet summer spirit in there. 

Love,

What a year! 

We met so many great artists, made a bunch of new friends and had one heck of a summer. 
Watching this community grow bigger made us want to create an appropriate picture of the things that already sprung from it and also of things to come. 

Trying to condense all the creativity that came to life during the past few months, we put together something that reflects our journey and features as many of the directions we're headed in as possible. 

♥ Thank you all for the love and support so far ♥ 

Teil 2 is coming soon!

Saludos!

No matter what or whom you believe, everyone likes to get presents.
So as this year is coming to its end, we have again prepared a little goodie-bag full of aural treats for you.
Musically, this has been an amazing year for us, and we want to thank everyone who made it possible for us, to be where we are right now. 
In every ending there's a new beginning, so get safe to the other side and we'll meet again in 2017, with a whole lot of great projects.

Love,

Drossel <3

Here we go again!

A few months have passed since we promised you Teil 2 of our little compilation, but we're a trustworthy organisation *wink* and so we keep our promises.
This second half of VAgabunden aims to stay connected to the organic soundscapes of the first one, while exploring new themes, sounds and feelings. 

But words shouldn't express what sounds do best, so sit down open your mind and let the music flow through your ears.

We want to thank everyone involved in this adventure and also you for being so loving and supportive! Stay the way you are, or become the way you want to be. We're here for you ♥

Stay tuned birdlovers!

Howdy friend!

Summer's here and so is our latest coup. 
Just in time for the annual heatwaves we serve you hot soundwaves, perfect for the outdoors, enjoying time with your loved ones, or just to accompany a nice cup of tea.

This selection of earpleasers is brought to you by Oslo based Scotsman Kusht, who rode into our family on a gallant winged horse, delivering intricate tales from far away places. 
This release is filled with terrific instrumentals, organic rhythms, dispatching field-recordings and – as you might have grasped – friends from near and far, re-telling those stories.

So once again, sit with us, relax, have a cup and enjoy.

Yours truly,

Drossssssssssssel

Welcome back friend!

It's been a while since our last Löffelchen, but the wait is over now.
Once again we made a selection of four little artificial sweeteners that might not let your teeth decay, but will melt away your dance floor.
In gleeful anticipation about what's still to come, we decided it is about time for yet another goodie bag filled with gems from around the planet.
Stay tuned for even more sonic beauties, while you enjoy this collection of great Reworks, crafted by S. Araguaya, Meraki, Octo&Shark, GYRL, Shorpi and Nikosh.

Hugs and stuff,

Drosssel

@lukasendhardt

Well well well!

The seemingly endless hibernation is over and the birds are returning to their habitats, as well as we are returning to our habits ... of delivering you carefully crafted music.

Today we have the honors of finally presenting the long anticipated debut EP of our Italian compagno m@kossa, by the ever-so-fitting name "Unhurried Creatures".
As he is a true globetrotter — never being able to stay in one place for a longer period of time — it came naturally to him to feature this trait in his first release. So it happens that he combined African, Indian, Japanese and Berlinese voices and soundscapes into a charming and unique selection of global tracks, just like an international cappuccino of music.

Now kick off your slippers, turn up your stereo and indulge in the stories, this traveller has spun for your pleasure.

From Drosssel with loads of love!

m@kossa — Kolkul (Lukas Endhardt Remix)

Howdy bird watchers!

By now you might know the drill.
The songs are free, but you need to take them all!

This time, we got a mixed selection of a remix, an original, a cover, an edit, what-have-you... Crazy, right?
And all that for a smile and your attention.

We packed together Gunilla, who made a beautiful interpretation of Koze's Drone Me Up Flashy, MAUGLI with an original composition that makes your bum-bum go loco, Do You Love Me in a Trap-like reimagination by Echoel feat. Di.Aria and finally a psychedelic, time-dilating edit of Omega's inexpressible Gyönyhajú lány, thought of by Severin Onderka.
A rich and healthy snack, with all the nutrients you need for this upcoming time of dirty weather and low temperatures.

Enough weird words, now go off, enjoy your free music and tell your friends, to tell their friends, to be our friends.

Peace out & love in!

Throsssel

Namaskar beauties!

Summer has faded once again, and here we are: Looking for the light.
A light, that has continually grown bolder and brighter is the primate lover and drum kit destroyer O/Y.

Intrigued by his ever evolving analogue sound and also because he's somewhat of a regular appearance in our ears and eyes, we decided to get him on board for his and our second 12" experiment: Turtles.

O/Y is getting around quite a bit, performing his live shows on festivals around this blue marble. Now your friendly neighborhood DJ can put more of his productions into the soundtrack of your next night out.
This is the sound you will be stumbling across dance floors to this coming winter. And probably summer still. Accompanied by a Hip-Hop-ish remix, crafted by the talented Luca Musto and the digital bonus "Der Kleine Mann" as well as a Xique-Xique remix of this beauty.

And oh: did we mention?

You can also add it to your record collection, as it is quite the collectible.
Black and blue marbled vinyl, hand numbered and finished with a beautiful artwork made by his wife Amal. Strong family stuff.

Now enjoy your new favourite Drosssel EP!

Or by the pool, for that matter. The where doesn't matter as long as it's wet, cool and there's at least some shade, so your gelato doesn't melt all over your fingers.

Hopefully you brought sunscreen, we don't wan't you to cry yourself to sleep later. But it's your decision really. Tears are OK, as long as there is a smile coming after. All your emotions are valuable, so get in touch with them!

Our expat friend emde has delivered an hour full of them, even if you don't speak a word of Italian. Because those words come wrapped in musty bass riffs, oozing synthesizers and dripping with soul (just like your gelato by now).

So now, all there's left is to put on / take off your finest swimsuit and hop in!

⊣ People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day ⊢

When have you last dragged your tired bones off of the dusty chaise longue? 
Has it been minutes or months? 
Even your television set has put on a substantial amount of weight. 
And its once so crisp image is flickering noisily in black and white. 

Oh the lethargy!

But then your telephone starts ringing and quite accurately in the moment you take the receiver off the hook it dawns on you: this isn’t your sitting room, or even your house. It is not even your era.
On the other end of the line a soft voice is soothing your initial shock with the words: 

“Don’t worry. You drifted off and that’s fine. 
Have a drink, take a rest. Tomorrow will be your day.”

You’re in luck! Elizen The Emperor has everything under control for now.
But at some point you really have to get off your couch. 
Your plants must be thirsty...

Drip. ... Drop.

The ice may be melting, but what is revealed remains frozen.
Ever so slowly the world takes its time to warm up, yet every ray of sunlight does its part to breathe life back into it. 

Finally, a lasting moment. Seconds become minutes, become hours.
The continuous drip forms a beat that turns into a room. Arutani is sitting at the center of it, painting with sounds, calmly but focussed.

His image is changing as the world is turning, at times abstract, at times picturesque, but somehow always familiar. 

Take your time. Take a breath. Take each moment as it arrives.

About UNWANTED:

So this is how this century's roaring 20s start.

A virus is keeping the whole world in check. Daily life is restricted to the bare minimum, nightlife doesn't happen at all. The rich become even richer and more people than ever become poor because of losing their source of income. On this note: Millions of artists, musicians, DJs and others alike are not only unable to do their jobs, but also have to find new ways of expressing themselves.

With UNWANTED, Drosssel's podcast host Bollek is giving some of them a stage to reflect upon their life in lockdown and speak for the greater whole, that's left unheard and feels unwanted in these times, when it's actually the virus that nobody wants.
