Disco was, for far too long, maligned and misunderstood. It was the original underdog, enjoyed by the outcasts of society until, by some miracle, this minority driven milieu emerged in the mainstream, lodged in the minds of the middle-class through the likes of Ethel Merman, a Disco Duck and countless rock stars crossing over to cash in. Overnight, it was everywhere, albeit in a banal, watered down form, being forced down the throats to such a degree that it was bound to trigger a gag reflex. And it did. Lead by the "Disco Sucks" movement, Disco was retched to the depths from which it came; the underground night clubs, lofts and warehouses that were also to produce house music. The fall of disco, from such dizzying heights, was a blessing in disguise, as only the faithful remained - the dancers, deejays, musicians and producers who got funkier and freakier with the music than ever before.

Beam Me Up’s understanding of Disco is far-removed from the AM radio polyester-set, focusing instead on the soul, funk and jazz which is at the core of this genre-bending movement. It’s expressive, eloquent message is the furthest thing from formulaic, with a four on the floor beat that is tailored for the dance floor and an egalitarian nature that is inclusive, loving and full of positivity. These sentiments have been echoed in the spirt of the guests that Beam Me Up have been able to bring in: Kon, the Boston Disco Don. Al Kent, the Glaswegian Giant. Psychemagik, the Cosmic Couple. Tom Noble, the Regent of Rare. These parties in loft, warehouse and back-room bar alike are the evidence that embody the Beam Me up belief; Disco is not dead.

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!
