They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap."

Das variable Spiel mit den Beats

Seit Sommer 2004 betreibt das Liebhaberlabel Klangscheiben - Records seine Geschäfte mit Hingabe zum Minifunk mit maximaler Wirkung. Zuerst gestartet als Tollplatz für Groove- Gespinste im Sounddesign von Labelowner Demas, erweiterte sich das Artistraster zusehends. Seitdem ist weltweit viel minimales Wasser die Täler hinabgeflossen – die Talsperren drohten zu überfluten... Nicht so die Staudämme im beschaulichen Steinach in Thüringen, denn finest Selection mit anspruchsvoller elektronischer Körpermusik statt Peaktime - Überschwemmung ist angesagt. Ohne sich auf eine Richtung festzulegen flankiert man zwischen den Stilen House und Techno mit funky Kick und experimenteller Note.

Without committing to a direction the label flanked between the styles of house and techno with a funky thrill and experimental note.
