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.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!

Spreading the good vibes with Haus Music!

skinnerbox is no more since june 2021. all of our sets / music will still be available as long as we remember to pay the annual sc fee.

thank you all for the amazing years <3 

Olaf Hilgenfeld and Iftah Gabbai aka Skinnerbox met under strange circumstances in Berlin back in 2003. The first years of their musical marriage has been a rather abstract electroacoustic journey that slowly got transformed by the neo-hippie rave renaissance that washed Berlin the years after. While growing up with places like the Bar25 and legendary party makers as the Bachstelzen, Skinnerbox always maintained a very individual identity, famous for their infamous improvised and truly live played shows (reaching another peak while performing a 12 hour live set at Kater Holzig, Berlin 2013) notoriously free from any obligation or trends. With a good dozen of singles on labels like BPitch Control, Darkroom Dubs, Bar25 Records, Tonkind and more plus a highly acclaimed full length studio album on Doxa Records ("If this is the future of techno, then we have a lot to look forward to!", Xlr8r) Skinnerbox have positioned themselves well above the inflationary electronic scene hailing from Berlin.
In 2009 Skinnerbox released the sbx 2049 - a drum machine which made them the first artists to release an instrument in conjunction with Ableton.
In 2014 - after 3 years of intense work - Skinnerbox ended up with another official Ableton Live instrument, an epic drum machine which is unlike anything you ́ve ever seen before: Time & Timbre.

“Beautiful and surreal… pop music from the future”
JOHN PEEL, BBC (on the Fish Ep in 2003)

“One of the year’s most disturbingly beautiful creations”
RESIDENT ADVISOR (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“Besser als Massive Attack”
DIE TAGESZEITUNG (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“Jahcoozi ist die Art von polyglotter Band ….. wilde Klänge auf die mächtigen Bass-Säulen, auf die ihre Musik sich stützt. Wie ein Wanderer, der nach dem Ende der Welt ohne Schuhe zwischen den Klangresten umhertänzelt. Schön.”
DER SPIEGEL (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…visceral, gritty sounding, danceable dancehall riddims, glitch-hop, and experimental techno rub up against each other like long-lost pals ..”
PITCHFORK (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“2075. Earth. The metropol club scene will sound like this…”
GROOVEMINE (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…extraterrestrial bass thumping in the heart of the Jamaican urban landscape, Jahcoozi brings out the best in aspects that Massive Attack and Leftfield built up …….“Lost In The Bass” and “Barefoot Dub” is the best modern day dub prowess since Massive Attack’s Blue Lines”
ZAPTOWN Magazine (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“…music that moves your body, lyrics that stimulate your cerebral cortex …… as effective with the aural mystique and hypnosis perpetuated by Lee “Scratch” Perry and Massive Attack’s Mezzanine as making audiences lose their minds on the dance floor.”
URB Mag (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“atmospheric, digital dubstep all with a sound that encompasses techno, hip-hop, bassline and grime, held together by Sasha’s sharp and smoky lyrical excursions”
CLASH MAGAZINE, UK (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“a glorious product of indefinable genre creations”
URB-NET (on Barefoot Wanderer in 2010)

“The aural equivalent of a Quentin Tarentino film, the listener is lost within its swirling maelstrom of electronic gadgetry & infectious riddims…”
FOXY DIGITALIS (on Blitz n Ass in 2007)

“… their acerbic wit and cultural observation is still as sharp as on Pure Breed Mongrel. ‘Takin’ Your Street’ is the only dirty beat track that links gentrification with skinny jeans cutting off blood supply to your feet!”
FLY GLOBAL MUSIC (on Blitz n Ass in 2007)

“It would make sense to call Jahcoozi’s stuff Grime for Björk fans…. this might please both fans of Aphex Twin and Roots Manuva.”
XLR8R, US (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“2005 has brought us a no more focused piece of hip hop satire than Asian Bride Magazine with it’a sing-along Hymen, Hymen better in tact.”
MOJO Magazine, UK (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“The band sculpts “illectronic” bliss out of grimy shuffle rhythms, deep and detuned bass lines, and bombastic swaths of vocal attitude”
RESONANCE MAGAZINE, USA (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“On the stage, Jahcoozi’s British-Sri Lankan “lioness”, singer / rapper / lyricist booty dancer turns heads with smartly sarcastic lyrics about stereotypes, sex and psychedelics on cult classics like “Fish” and “Black Barbie” while the mightily-dreadlocked Israeli multi-instrumentalist Oren Gerlitz strides the stage providing deep basslines while Robot chops up his razor sharp dancehall-electro in a way reminiscent of friend and fellow “BLN’” icon Modeselektor”
MIXMAG, UK (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“One of the most progressive albums of the last few years.”
MUSIKEXPRESS, DE (on Pure Breed Mongrel in 2005)

“Homemade Surrealism”
WIRE MAGAZINE (on a Jahcoozi live show at Marke B in 2003)
