Sascha Funke is creating a long overdue monument to an almost forgotten cultural artefact of the GDR: the ‘Germina Speeder’ was the only skateboard made in East Germany before reunification and was launched in 1986. It was produced by VEB Schokoladen-Verarbeitungsmaschinen (a state-owned chocolate processing machine factory) in Wernigerode and was therefore affectionately known as the ‘chocolate board’. However, it was hardly suitable for actual skateboarding due to technical inadequacies. It is not known whether Sascha himself owned such a board, but the tracks on the ‘Germina Speeder’ EP definitely roll better than the original. The opener ‘Blaupunkt’ breathes the euphoric spirit of the legendary Berlin club ‘E-Werk’, while the title track would have been more at home at the ‘Dubmission’ parties in the Turbine. Sascha leaves the 90s behind with radiant positivism; ‘Bo Knows’ sounds more like a 2000s open air at Café Schönbrunn. The EP closes with ‘Mastermind’, a high-octane psy-proghouse banger that, like all four tracks, quotes the past but still has both feet on today’s dance floors. Or rather, is dancing. 4:1 for love!

Robag Wruhme has been playing songs by Santos from Frosinone in Italy in his DJ sets for a long time. It is always these kinds of weapons that bring the dance floor under control. Santos himself produced music since 1994 and runs the label “Let Me Understand Records”, and has been releasing exclusively his own great music on it since 2018. One day Santos sent a live session demo that immediately caught Robag Wruhme’s attention. The rawness of the beat construction and the strong influence of jazz were just more than right. Now the song is called “Lounge Sabotage” and brings two super sweet friends with it. They are called “In The Evening" and “Age of Gold”. 

We are more than pleased that this 3 track EP will be released on Tulpa Ovi Records.

The Solution (Priori Mix)

Pre-order: https://ffm.to/modupe

@exploited welcomes @joytoy (Joyce Muniz) back to the label, returning with a brand new, lofi Afro Italo bumper, 'Mo Dupe'.

'Mo Dupe' makes use of vocals from a Nigerian ritual that pays homage to the Goddess of abundance, Oxum. The raw, untreated timbre of the vocals are paired with a crunchy, textural bed over a propulsive bassline.

Robson Ponte isn't just anybody. And certainly not just any former top soccer player from Bayer Leverkusen, but the namesake of Reinhard Voigt's first Kompakt 12", one of the label's first big hits. Timeless, cool and unforgettable, the way this snotty, dry football field beat pushes you forward, over it, this constant, almost stoic, mantra-like rap repetition - Robson Ponte, Robson Ponte,...

That was a good 25 years ago. So it's high time to celebrate a bicycle kick with a fitting run to the goal. None other than FC Kompakt centre-forward Juergen Paape has been hired for the remix return match. In the first few minutes of the match, Paape scores with two straight disco-techno crosses and a Schaffel cross from 25 metres out. Team captain Reinhard Voigt himself seamlessly follows in the footsteps of the original - dressed in a new, stylish black, white and red sound jersey, he keeps the ball in play with aplomb. From the stands, guest of honour Thore Pfeiffer comments on a hymn-like, sacred ambient lament with an appropriate timbre.
