Insist Music celebrates its 10th birthday with the „Dirty Dust EP“ penned by none other than Patrick Kunkel. The Frankfurt born and meanwhile in Vienna living Patrick is one of the two Insist Music label managers. His musical career began already in the late 90s.  Patrick’s musical and professional achievements included among others his own agency Global Tunes and the Global Player "Cocoon Recordings". Musically Patrick always remained true to his style: straight Techno skillfully combined with the nicest elements of Chicago House. Colorful and grooving monotony, music for dancers, DJs and connoisseurs.
 
Patrick Kunkel sets a first milestone with the now available Dirty Dust EP. The 4-track-EP is divided in “The Dust” and “Dirty”, as well as a „The Dust“-Remix from Broombeck and a „Dirty“-Remix from Matt Star. „The Dust“ and „Dirty“ form a musical unit on the EP with a very clear focus on the groovy beat. Both tracks turn out to be what they really are: delicate masterpieces to make you dance.
Meanwhile, the remixers have adopted and emphasized the subtle sides of „The Dust“ and „Dirty“. Broombeck as well as the Frankfurt based Matt Star are the ideal candidates for this task.
Like Patrick Kunkel himself they share the musical philosophy that a successful track consists of a nice blend of different styles.

If it would not be so cold outside, the latest shot of INSISTMUSIC would become an instant party classic. What PING! from Thuringia have delivered this time at least definitely feels that way. The third edition of the Frankfurt based vinyl label presents an intelligent, groovy techno: predictable enough to entrain, diversified enough to pleasantly surprise. The opening track "Depature" marches across the dance floor, picking up the playful dancers with its funky offbeat elements in the beginning and taking them on an ecstatic journey with its cleverly placed breaks. 
In the remix by label mate Sascha  SONIDO "Depature" catches a touch of tribal techno moving the track with its vocals like rolling sound figures a good bit further into the house cosmos. And there "Depature" wonderfully feels at home, too.

"Steady State Universe", the second composition from PING! takes the listener on a more dignified journey than “Depature". Jazz sound figures combine the elements of electronic music with a hypnotic beat that is looming its way from the ears down to the dancing feet on its path through the body. PING! shows with "Steady StateUniverse" that four-to-the-floor does not always have to be head-on. 
This is also seen in the Justin Berkovi remix that on the one hand never loses sight of the starting materials jazzy idea, but on the other focuses more and directly on the dance floor. While the dancers are floating through the cosmos in the original "Steady State Universe" getting slowly hypnotized by the beat, Justin Berkovi lays more focus on the obviousness of the rhythm in his interpretation. This one is definitely a number for the prime time.
Those who do not buy INSIST 003 vinyl, but rather download the digital version, will also have the pleasure of getting "Caldera" - a monumental work of pings and pongs mixed with rolling beats, a swirling bass line and an epic break.

The Vienna-based label INSIST MUSIC was founded in 2010 by Patrick Kunkel and Dirk Redmer. The label basically presents modern rough and groovy tech-house music, produced by many German and international artists, such as Lonya & Audio Junkies, Ingo Boss, Emanuel Satie, Sascha Sonido, 7th Star, Broombeck, Matt Star and – of course – by Patrick Kunkel and Dirk Redmer themselves.

Kunkel and Redmer have been part of the German electronic music culture for more than 15 years. After working toghether both as DJs and hosts in various clubs in Frankfurt, and already running different labels, they decided the time would now be right to found INSIST MUSIC.

They can rely on many year’s of experience. While Dirk Redmer already worked as resident-dj in famous clubs like the U60311 in Frankfurt and played all over central Europe, Patrick Kunkel is working for the world famous company "Cocoon Records", where he is responsible for digital distributions, for over 5 years.
Both artists have worked together on many different projects over the last 15 years. " Sexy Pie" with Lenny Kravitz' sax-player, Harlod Todd, being only one of many.

Now they re-united to form the next big thing in German music-biz: INSIST MUSIC.
