Artists label as many things, but first and foremost, they are storytellers. Translating intimacy, humor, talent, liberty and love into musical bliss while globetrotting from one dancefloor to the next. The Happy Campers unders, Noraj Cue and Britta Arnold share their story with you. Get up, join, feel and Happy Camp along!


Fresh out of the camper is Joep Mencke’s Mataka Ep. After the success with his debut Asiri last year, we have been hooked on Mencke’s sound. With two solid originals and an adventure of a remix by the label bosses unders & Noraj Cue, Mataka delivers.


Tum sounds like you’re on a boat on tranquil water floating into a mysterious world full of wonders. Its dark, yet light. The mist makes you want to doze off but the claps, conga’s and busty breakbeats keep you awake. The horizon is hazy, yet the subtle swing is so clear. A whole new world lies yonder, come out and play, says Tum. More is coming, says Mr. Mencke, just wait for it.


The second production and the EP’s name carrier does not take any shortcuts. Mataka’s groove kicks in straight away. Little joyful bells enlighten the darkness. The moment you think Mataka can’t take you any deeper, Mataka erupts. Heroically it lets you know the battle is won,  Mataka made its mark, it's invincible. The shout of the Maori warrior after victory: Mataka!


In Mataka's remix, the atmospheric pad lets you float through the sky. Dreamy tickling bells are covered by a broad, open, wide sound. It triggers, lifts, it excites. Alice in Wonderland’s clock guides, the inception like dark is put against an angel’s voice kicking in. The voice is like a flower sprouting in spring after a long dark winter. Mataka’s interpretation by label honcho’s unders & Noraj Cue brings depth, it inspires and adds adventure.

I am a true festival lover.
I'm always on my pilgrimage to the most special electronic music events you can imagine.
I am a good listener.
I'm happy to show you my colorful collection of songs. I tell a story, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, depending on how the heart is bumping. From Downtempo to Deep House, with some fine Techno peaks – atmospheric, organic, dreamy. So join me for my next gig.
