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.

Waves

Whhhhhhsssshhhhhhhh

They come

Wwwwwhhhhhssshhhhh

They go

Wwwhhsssssshhhhhhh

Take what was just now

Wwwwwhhhsssssshhh

And bring something new.

The ocean never forgets. The ocean forgets everything. 
Have you ever imagined what one must feel like?

Touching every continent at once. 
Being equally calm and raging.

A reflection of life itself. 
Ever changing. 
Ever moving. 
Always forgetting…………….to embrace something new.

*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!

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.

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.

Wheee!

Summer‘s summering away and we‘re not going to interfere with that. 
Well just a tiny bit, ok? We‘ve invited our dear friend ninsn to turn the heat up just a little more.

For those in the know, she is an expert selector when it comes to dance tunes. Don’t be a Muffel and strap in for 1,5 hours of perfect driving-to-festivals, summer-night-skinnydipping, or bbq-cook-out belters. 

So charge your speakers, lose your sneakers, and wiggle your piggies please. 

Sea you <3

He stranger!

It’s been a while. Did you enjoy your summer so far? 
Haters say it’s over now, but here in our imaginary headquarters we don’t believe the hype.
After all, summer is a state of mind and when it ends in one place, it begins in another. Just like with the windows, you know? You close one, another one opens. I really shouldn’t have to explain this… Gee wiz!

What also shouldn’t need further explanation is why we invited Uferkind to join our little sonic explorer’s club. And that’s exactly why we won’t give any. I mean.. Just listen to the thing!
So much care and expertise went into it, it’s hard not to love. 
That’s why we won’t fight it. And you probably won’t either.

And when you’re done enjoying this one, be sure to hop onto his cloud and explore the magic that’s going on over there.

You’re welcome.

Brace yourselves.

Dark season has arrived somewhat unexpected and the temperatures dropped so quickly, we couldn't even put on the thick socks in time. 

A thing that can keep you comfort in the darkness, though counterintuitive, is dark music. We've invited Leipzig dark disco enthusiast ANKA to serve you some of the finest synthesizer battles. 

Indulge the short days, enter the long nights. 
Keep yourselves warm and active, so you won't go under.
And before you know it, you'll wear hot pants and adiletten again.

Promise!

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,

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.

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,

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!

Unhurried Creatures

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

☁ Without the dark, we'd never see the stars ★

As we open a new chapter in this book of ours, the clouds begin to close in.
Truth be told, we didn't pursue this podcast endeavour with the energy it deserves. 
But we're about to change that. From now on, you will get insights into the minds of our close ones on a regular basis. Promise!

And who would be a better start into this direction than our dear friend KATKA?! 
Right. We didn't know either.

Hailing from the crazy bunch, known as Plattenfreunde Neukölln, this little birdie likes it dark and dirty. It's January and Berlin looks like a wet dogpoo. 

Oh, that's because there's so much wet dogpoo.

Anyways, we got a diamond in the rough here. Give KATKA a listen and she'll give your ears meaning.

✈ Enjoyez lez enfantz and spread the love ❤

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!

⊱ Ci vediamo in spiaggia ⊰

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...

𝐈𝐈𝐈

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.
