"Happiness in W12" is the first EP by Kämmer in 2023. And it has "oldschool" witten all over it. Two House bangers that immediately remind you of the 90s. With lots of well-known and legendary sounds. Put together by Kämmer who loves this sound aestehtic very much.

Regarding the title of the EP Kämmer explains:
"When I was in London last October I saw a billboard in a shopping mall with the words 'Happiness in W12' on it. And that was when I decided that this will be the title for my next EP. 'W12' stands for the post code area which is mainly Shepherd's Bush, the neighborhood where I was staying that boasts a rich musical history."

The first track, "That Simple", is proof to Kämmer's love of the 303 Acid Bass that is still a safe dance floor weapon. This track is extra gritty with lots of saturated drum, hat and percussion sounds as well as rich modulated chords and vocal samples. A stomping monster that unfolds its full energy at high volumes.

The second track, "I (Still) Love You", features two iconic 90s sounds: the Yamaha TX81Z Lately Bass and the famous Korg M1 Piano. Together with rave stabs, strings, forward-driving drums and vocal samples this track is a true tool that never fails in a set.

Happiness in W12

That Simple

With "Something In Ur Soul" Kämmer presents his first-ever UK Garage track. He has always been in love with the genre and its shuffled beats and now created a banger himself that is based upon a classic House vocal sample and instantly unfolds its energy and good vibes when you hit play. It is already a favorite of ours and we are sure it will as well warm up your heart and soul. Especially the deep subbass will provide a pleasing body massage as long as you listen on good speakers. We don't want to spoiler too much, but in the middle of the track an interesting shift happens and those who like acid bass will begin to smile, too.

Something In Ur Soul

Something in Ur Soul (echolot011)

With "Summer in Sweden" Kämmer shows once more his love for emotional House. The track follows in the footsteps of earlier releases like 'Estrella del Norte" or "Sicasumbre" and is inspired by a trip to Sweden in June this year. Choir samples, a piano, bells, strings, field recordings and a groovy bass line add up to make this track a relaxed House gem that is easy to listen to and ideal for any summer garden party. The track boasts melancholy and beauty in every second. And it's by far the shortest track Kämmer has ever created (check the streaming services for the radio version). Enjoy the summer, even if you're not in Sweden :)

Summer in Sweden

Summer In Sweden (echolot012)

With this two-track EP, Kämmer pays homage to early '90s rave by taking some of the now legendary sounds of that era and doing something new with them.

The first track, "Real Good", is built around the Roland Alpha Juno, a classic rave synth that gave us the famous hoover sound. Kämmer added bass, piano and a pad from the Korg synths MS-20 and M1 respectively, alongside a catchy vocal sample that brings back the old days immediately. With drums that vary between breaks and four-to-the-floor, this track is in its rawness and energy a true gem.

The second track, "Peter Got the Flu", carries its title because Kämmer began working on it when finding the Shakuhashi flute sample from the '80s E-Mu Emulator II that everyone recognizes from the Peter Gabriel song "Sledgehammer". Gabriel didn't invent it actually: it was part of the E-Mu II and was used many times throughout pop history since then. The donk bass is also a classic sound, very popular in Hard House and Hard Bass and quite easy to create. Bit-distorted breaks that alternate with a stomping four-to-the-floor techno beat form the the foundation of the track. Kämmer added on top a bit of MS-20 and M1 et voilà, here's "Peter Got the Flu".

It's moody Deep House territory that we're entering with Kämmer's new track. Expect a trip into the past with solid drums and a groovy bass line that could literally go on forever. The jazzy chords take center stage after a minute and there's a touch of wickedness, too, in the way certain vocal snippets appear now and then. With "Thru the Peephole" Kämmer created a timeless piece of Deep House with a hint of nostalgia. It's our last release in 2023. Enjoy it.

Thru the Peephole

Thru The Peephole (echolot014)

We proudly present our first release in 2024 with two new tracks by Kämmer that are perfect fits for the club.

As a bonus Kämmer dug deep in his archive and found new pleasure in his 2011 track "Toter Salon", a pretty dark Techno gem that needed a little polishing to be ready for 2024. Back in the days Kämmer wasn't at the production level he is now, so he took a lot of the original samples and, of course, the original composition to imagine a new fresh version in his head. The result is stunning: It sounds way better than in 2011, but keeps the original idea fully alive. Kämmer also added some new elements and ramped up the tempo from 120 to 130 bpm to be compatible with today's DJ sets.

And I Wonder

Toter Salon (2024 Re-Imagination)

We proudly present our first release in 2024 with two new tracks by Kämmer that are perfect fits for the club.

"And I Wonder" is a 135 bpm House banger featuring classic organ bass, driving synths in interplay with lush mallets. It's a force that unfolds pretty fast and radiates good vibes throughout the room. The ever-evolving drone-like pad really holds things together and provides suspense from start to finish.

We happily present a new track by Kämmer that may be a first hint towards summer. It's a true feel-good tune that radiates positivity and joy and with its dreamy Indie Dance vibe it will make you want to listen on repeat. The sounds of the iconic 80s DrumTraks drum machine carry the track forward while a constant call and response between the piano, two synths and a robotic voice-like sample give it a recognizable character. With one feet in the past and one feet in the present, it's simply the perfect tune to start into the summer season.

Sunshine Society

Sunshine Society (echolot016)

Let's start into summer season with a new Deep House track by Kämmer that radiates lots of nostalgia and old school flair. With its deep chord progression, synth stabs, lush moving pads, groovy bass line, vocal snippets taken from a 90s sample disc and solid drum foundation the track sounds quite timeless. When the break introduces a classic M1 House piano and then a synth line that reminds us of the legendary hoover sound in 90s Rave, Kämmer proves that he is always able to put his own stamp on his productions and subvert expectations to a certain degree.

Want U, Need U

Want U, Need U (echolot017)

With Kämmer's new Deep House track we're traveling to East Asia, at least in terms of sound selection. Kämmer wanted to include some traditional instruments from the region – namely the gayageum, a plucked zither from Korea, a flute and lots of percussion. The track has a zen-like hypnotic quality. There are also some foley sounds like dropping water hearable when you listen closely. It's a perfect relaxed tune for autumn season. We hope you enjoy it.
