CORD LABUHN [Robosonic | Outtakes | Punchi] 

Cartoon life - At six years old, CORD LABUHN had his first real career aspiration : becoming an ‘inventor’. Or space traveller. At least working in some kind of laboratory. Hence he became a producer of beats, tunes, records, imagery & merch - and toured the whole planet to play music for the most spaced out...
Earlier, when the ghost of Jimi Hendrix jumped out of his parents record collection and passionately promoted the guitar as the weapon of choice for a leftist punk, folk, if not eurodance infected teenager of the 90s, the piano and his sister’s drumset would have to step back for a while. 

A few years later when TV was still the thing and gaming consoles like PS1 were battling N64, Cord the Beatmaker was rather staring at tiny AKAI S2000, MPC and CRT displays, head-nodding, turning the jogwheels, dreaming of a second turntable to complete his DJ setup - the true school, golden age hiphop way. Next mission - still as a school kid - was a self-released vinyl record with international distribution through a self-founded label – learning everything from scratch, only a few years before DJing went 99,9% digital, crazy fast and globalised anyway. 
Arriving in Berlin and founding the mashup label „BROKEN BOOTLEGS“ (with Exploited’s Shir Khan and Andy Szankay) was good sparring for more delinquent ventures in professional sampling culture. Musical diversion had found an anarchic playground, genre-bending seemed to be a welcome concept for a radical open mind.

To date, his longest running project is ROBOSONIC, which was originally formed as a DJ-producer duo together with Sacha Robotti more than 10 years ago. Over the course of time it became Cords solo moniker in the dance music game, since his former partner had emigrated to the US for a fresh personal start. 
A while after the unconventional, free-spirited debut album „Sturm und Drang“ (2007) Robosonic took the world by storm with a string of popular tunes and remixes that went into the crates of tens of thousands of DJs worldwide and made it to top spots in the infamous Beatport charts (“Worst Love”, “The Edge” 2012, “La Fique” 2013, “House Music” 2015, “Rise” 2016). With releases on labels like Defected, Toolroom, Get Physical, Diynamic, Stil vor Talent, Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi, Nervous, Crew Love, Kittball or Mother Recordings, ROBOSONIC became an authentic figurehead for something dubbed “Golden Era House” (Juice Magazine). Not only because Cord was convincing real rap icons like Masta Ace, Jeru the Damaja and KRS-One to collaborate on house tracks, but also because ROBOSONIC remixed true legends like Todd Terry, Arthur Baker, Kerri Chandler and Eddie Amador.
The house & techno driven sets and records under the R°° flag are internationally recognised and performances in 45+ countries (and counting) reflect the universal appeal of a trademark sound Robosonic unleashed into the world. North & South America, most European countries, South East Asia, China and Russia, Egypt down to South Africa, Dubai to Australia, Lebanon and Israel. Cord Labuhn has seen and pleased hundreds of stages, clubs and crowds over the last years. And with the string of new Robosonic releases through Defected, Kittball, Mother Recordings and more it becomes clear that he won’t stop shedding club sweat and tears.

Sensient’s music is deep, intelligent, and progressive. It absorbs the influence of many musical styles (minimal, techno, breaks, glitch, jazz fusion). He has released eight solo albums and countless compilation tracks on respected labels. He has also remixed and collaborated with numerous heavyweights of the scene, including Freedom Fighters,  Ace Ventura, Perfect Stranger and Symbolic. 

In 2003, Sensient created Zenon Records, which has now developed into one of the world’s most respected underground electronic labels. Zenon has formed a musical movement that has heavily influenced the worldwide alternative festival scene. Sensient has played multiple times at the biggest international festivals, including Modem, Boom, Ozora, Fusion, Noisily, Universo Parallelo and many more.

In recent times, Sensient has been concentrating on his role as head honcho and tastemaker for Zenon Records. The prime selector for all Zenon Records output brings these selection skills to his DJ sets. He is known for his 3-hour-plus journey DJ sets that effortlessly move from the most slabbing of psychedelic techno into the freshest organic bush prog. The Sensient DJ set is guaranteed to deliver the absolute cutting-edge of the Zenon Records sound!

Enquanto o mundo pega fogo, enquanto os algoritmos sugam almas, em meio a guerras, pandemias e catástrofes, eu continuo nessa cadeira, vendo tudo mudar e passar a minha volta, continuo nessa cadeira, aprendendo a aprender, tentando me entender, mais com tanta escuridão la fora, a musica que procuro traz luz e alivio, talvez um positivismo irreal, mais é essa magia da felicidade extravagante que me apaixonei, aquela que afasta a escuridão nem q seja por um momento, e me poe a dançar como tudo estivesse em perfeita harmonia. E não está?

While the world is on fire, as algorithms suck souls, amidst wars, pandemics, and catastrophes, I remain in this chair, watching everything change and pass around me. I stay in this chair, learning to learn, trying to understand myself, but with so much darkness outside, the music I seek brings light and relief. Perhaps it's an unreal optimism, but it's the magic of extravagant happiness that I fell in love with – the kind that pushes away the darkness, even if only for a moment, and makes me dance as if everything is in perfect harmony. And isn't it?
