Anything Like Us

"A rave is temporary. A passage of a few people through a rather brief moment in time... and while a rave is temporary, raving is outside of time. The rave continuum goes sideways in k-time, until it mutates into something else. Until the end of the world." M.W

Its been 8 years of underground raves in Berlin under the MT umbrella.

In Order to celebrate it (tbh we always just look for reasons to celebrate sth) we have decided to unleash a series of digital releases titled Tanzers.
The idea is to release one of these small compilations every few months, in order to share some favourite secret weapons from those parties.

For the artwork we have asked the help of our dear friend and calligrapher @ellaponi who designed all the raves posters throughout the years to make something specials for TANZERS EINS (1).

On this compilation we present fresh tracks by label alumni Plazmot, Yovav & Khidja, as well as an unreleased remix by Odopt & Lipelis to a track from Linja's debut album on the label from 2020.
Also on the compilation is a first entry on the label from UK artist Forever Sound, of whom we've been big fans since his releases on Cocktail D'amore & Tusk Wax.

Hope you dig

Heels & Souls step back to ‘88 for their sixth reissue, relicensing, and remastering Flair's anthemic soul number 'Chasin' The Rain.'  For the uninitiated, strap yourself in for six blissful minutes of heavy bass licks, soaring vocals, and infectious synth lines. Consisting of Janet Rose (aka UK Soul queen JB Rose), Joe Matz, Peter Bielig, and Peter Shindler, Flair was a predominantly German affair, with Rose being the only UK band member and Bielig living in London during the late '80s. This is a curious detail considering 'Chasin' The Rain' is often lauded today as a UK Soul classic - partially due to its release on the prolific UK label Champion. However, it's squeaky-clean production values, and the fact it was mixed and mastered at the famous Jankowski Studio in Stuttgart by three Germans, reveals a somewhat different story.

The track has that UK street soul heavy low-end, but with a synth-pop flavour sprinkled in the mix - swinging synth lines and gated snares aplenty. Yet from chatting to Peter Bielig, who's been instrumental in getting this record reissued, the sounds sweeping across the Atlantic from the likes of Jam and Lewis - who blended R&B, funk, soul, and pop - were clearly a big influence too. Those were heady days for four young twenty-something musicians, with Peter recalling cherished memories these tracks bring back, telling of his and JB's PA sessions at London's Gulliver's nightclub. However, while 'Chasin' The Rain' had all the hallmarks of a chart-breaking hit, Champion prioritized other projects and the record never broke. Sadly, the group disbanded after only two releases, and this musical gem was consigned to the crates of those in the know.  Unfortunately, the master tapes were nowhere to be found, so Heels & Souls had the maestro, Sean P, rip and restore a mint copy of the record, with award-winning mastering engineer Cicely Balston working her studio magic for that extra punch.

‘Stay High’ by Anchoret opens with a bulky house beat, broken signals transmitting through space and time as whimsical synths swell between its infectious percussion. ‘Stay High’ is a cosmic party starter with layers of swinging organic rhythm, which Sous Music label boss Anja Schneider then reimagines into a hard-hitting tribal house track. Her version, with added rolling bass permeating its sturdy drums, is perfect for the sunshine yet with a dusk-like sense of mystery.

Solar Phenomena Music and its sublabel SOP saw Anchoret release an EP in 2022 featuring Hugo Massien and Klartraum on the remix. Now, the 3024 and Kiss And Kry artist follows things up with a two-part EP on the label featuring versions from Anja Schneider, Hior Chronik and Jay Tripwire.

Once upon a time, on the eastern bank of The White River, when the fertile lands witnessed the most tremendous flames that had ever occurred, a divine spirit appeared blandly in the foggy waters. Cloaked in black garments, with ink-fish rings adorning every single finger and an ophidian mark on the countenance, the uncanny figure emerged from the water and extinguished the inferno as it slowly walked towards the scorching lands. Known as "Personal Sauveur" by the people, the figure began revealing the essence of the creative life force to the first Kalamari tribe and then vanished swiftly.

At the dawn of a makeshift civilization, the icon of "Personal Sauveur" started to be venerated throughout the Kalamari empire. The people chose to forsake their sun-worshipping beliefs and all symbols of oppression associated with them. Instead, the believers embraced an alternative way of life: harvesting forest fruits under the dark starry nights, transforming their lucid dreams into ritual chants, venerating earthly spirits in plural form, paying reverence to the sacred waters, and transforming every sickness into a profound body of knowledge. For centuries, the Kalamari mankind lived in peaceful harmony until the wicked despots returned and decimated the entire population. It marked the end of an era, so they say…

In 2020, a fortuitous discovery was made when a suitcase filled with mummified ink-fish rings was found in the swampy soils of a Brussels suburb. The antique treasure quickly captivated the Pathfinder's imagination. After some time, he decided to delve deeper into the lost civilization and felt compelled to revive it. He felt a strong sense of duty to embark on the "Personal Sauveur" quest, with everything beginning in the birthplace. As he set foot on the promised land, he found himself amidst dilapidated concrete social projects, shattered ethanol bottles strewn across the streets, GHB-infused strippers haggling at bus stops, and renowned bench street poets.


In the heart of the megalopolis, one day, the trio crossed paths at Bazar Olimpia while searching for specific weaponry and began discussing the destruction of symbols of oppression. Soon after, they united their weapons and devised a master plan to rewrite history once more. Drawing inspiration from post-communist and early capitalist field recordings, French-Polish slang slug rhymes, proto-paleo synth wave, and Eastern riddims, the band created a danceable and mesmerizing journey through the shanty town.


The debut album opens with 'Hydra Psalm,' a preaching ode to the tribe believers infused with a kosmische psych-rock undertone. 'Bania Maryja' refers to the symbol of oppression, the Virgin Maria, imposed during the Christian era. It combines Brussels-slang experimental rap with an abyssal scream groove. The terrestrial beat of "Praga Medina'' takes you on a lighthearted cruise through the district, capturing all its distinctive delights. 'The Kalamari People' presents a linguistic reinterpretation of the lost tribe dialect through modern calypso-xylo and infectious thumpadumpa rhythms. And last but not least, 'Kikimora' is a mechanical dark-o-punk tribute to the capricious witch of the night.

PREMIERE : Personal Sauveur - Bania Maryja

De La Phoenix returns with a high-spirited summer anthem titled 'Santorini Girl'. Named after the arcane Greek island, the track bolsters dexterous melodies and synths to create a cocktail befitting for a sun-setting dance. The track is guaranteed to add colour to any DJ set that will embrace its charm this summer and beyond.

Kitsta announces new label Megababes, with trance-tinged two-tracker

The title track opens the release with stuttered vocals, rolling drums and bewitching sirens. A retro vocal beckons, welcoming the listener to a deep and intense breakdown before descending into a dancefloor frenzy. ‘Miss Bliss’ follows suit, its bassline chugging along interweaving synths, forming dreamlike melodies perfect for building the dancefloor and the after-hours.

Few combine glittery euphoric motifs with dark undertones as well as Yorkshire artist Kitsta. Now London-based, she's continuing to hone her sound with her music finding a home on labels such as Fly By Night Recordings, Gimme A Break, as well as her own newly established Megababes imprint. She also co-runs The Beatriarchy, a platform dedicated to uplifting underrepresented DJ’s.

Head hydro-tripper Black Eyes has risen from the depths of the deep to release his debut solo record 'Hydro-Trip vol. 1'. Fresh off the sea creature’s back from co-producing the ‘Planet People - Terra Firma EP’ with synth-botherer Reedale Rise which came out earlier this year. His solo endeavour takes us on a jazzier vibe yet still keeping true to the deep ways of the water.

  Lead track ‘Understood Sea Being’ plunges us on a rugged ride with deep Detroit chords and Black Eyes’s own punk-like vocals throughout. ‘Let’s Get Deeper’ slows the pace up with chopped up samples and introduces us to the classic hydro-trip sound we’ve grown to love down here in the underwater cities; it’s deep and trippy.  

‘Scuba Lyfe’ picks up the pace a bit but evolves into a low down dubby groove mixed with some hi-tek jazz. Asking Rolando (who we all know was part of the infamous Underground Resistance and Los Hermanos, as well being a Berghain resident DJ more recently) to come on board the subterranean vessel was an obvious choice for remix. He switches the gears and adds some fluid Detroit techno to finish off the EP. Berlin-based Deskai masters the EP, who also mastered the 'Planet People EP', so you know what to sonically expect.  

This EP has been in the making for some years and we are happy to finally share the way of the hydro-trip with all you land dwellers. As per usual with anything hydro-trip related; scuba gear in heavily encouraged when listening this EP. Let’s keep it deep!

das SPEZIAL - SPZL KIDS 2 (Feat Matthew Herbert & Fango Remixes)

Leftfield pop project das SPEZIAL mints its second EP with the drum talents of Radiohead’s Clive Deamer and remixes from experimental icon Matthew Herbert and Italian house innovator Fango.

das SPEZIAL is an art project rooted in collaboration, driven by British-Iranian producer Shahab Notghi’s endless search for the fiercest talent, from unknown singers to world-renowned mixing engineers, all with the aim of creating spellbinding, experimentally-minded sound and vision.

The second record in the KIDS series introduces Taya Michington, a precociously talented singer- songwriter plunged into the psychedelic, technicolour SPEZIAL sound-world. After raw, improvised songwriting sessions, SPEZIAL spearhead Shahab Notghi built up wild sonic tapestries drawn from modular synthesis and experimental signal chains around Michington’s voice.

Echoing the process on past SPEZIAL projects, the additional collaborators are an essential piece of the puzzle. The tracks on KIDS#2 grew in stature with the multi-instrumental intervention from regular collaborator Stew Jackson (Massive Attack, Phantom Limb) and the addition of celebrated drummer Clive Deamer to the SPEZIAL constellation. Having previously recorded and toured with the likes of Radiohead, Portishead, Robert Plant and Roni Size, Deamer’s distinct percussive touch deepens the rhythmic drive of KIDS#2

Building on the striking sound of Daniel Avery’s remix on KIDS#1, for the second chapter pioneering UK producer Matthew Herbert lends his unmistakable touch to ‘I Had A Dream’, a club-minded flip of ‘What Does It Mean’. In the wake of his widely acclaimed 2023 album The Horse, Herbert responds to SPEZIAL’s curious spirit by drawing on his peerless legacy of non- conformist house music with a show-stopping dancefloor version.

Alongside Herbert’s remix comes a version of ‘I Had A Dream’ from celebrated Venetian DJ and producer Fango. The Degustibus Music boss has a fascinating, wayward approach to 4/4 himself, and his interpretation comes on as dramatic electronica splashed with grandiose synth-pop sensibilities and a finely tuned balance between tension and release.

As the net gets thrown wider and more singular talents feed into the project, das SPEZIAL continues to be an incubator for visionary artistry and unbridled adventures in sound.
