What a year for Lake People so far. Apart from several excellent releases and remixes, like his outstanding interpretation for Chymera's classic “Caprica Burning”, the Leipzig-based act is busy playing gigs around the globe. Earlier this year, he had his first South-America tour, North America is following this summer. His low-key and touching live-performances obviously work excellently. 

We are now more than happy to present the next Lake People EP. Four tracks, no remixes and each of them a pearl on its own. 

“Into” goes a bit in the direction of his hit “Point In Time” On Krakatau, while “Stepwise” and “Come Over Later” reminds of the timeless electronic approach of Acid Jesus or Soylent Green releases on Klang Elektonik. The soundscapish “Trace Missed Call” rounds up the release perfectly. 

Sophisticated electronic music situated between the stools.

Step Over, Trace Into Pt. 2

A1 - Lake People - Into (Snippet)

After the massive positive reactions for the first release from the Bella Avgvsta series with which we left the old behind us and said hello to the new year ,we are now ready to move on with part two.
Perfectly fitting to current winter season, Daniel puts for us something really hot in the fridge.

The A-Side „Hot in the Fridge“ skips the obligatory intro and transports the listener directly into a dark prime-time techno cloud. It starts straight with a whipping nervous rhythm section that shows the way and gives direction into a dense haze of sound wherefrom the deep bass driven main theme rises to the surface and encloses you directly with its wafting sounds.
Sweet but dangerous.

„Don’t Disturb Björn“ pretends to be more chary but also and only for the blink of an eye. ....

A playful ringing innocent trickle that provide the image of safety, before it ropes you into it’s energetic swirl of sound. 
And then .....it let’s you go again – free and happy.

Hot In The Fridge

Daniel Bortz - Hot In The Fridge

Powel has been a favorite of all day i dream since the early days of the parties and we are excited he has chosen to release these gorgeous tracks with us. His delicate and patient melodies soothe and transport the listener to far off places. A certain dreamlike quality resonates through each track drawn from the depths of a sensitive producers soul.

Dirk Sid Eno - Morgens In Odonien (Pawas Remix)

With our upcoming MGF031 we are more than ready to start the new year which will also mark the 10th anniversary of Musik Gewinnt Freunde and there's no better way to begin this very special moment for our family than to present you this "Various Artists" EP that along with well known members as Cosmic Cowboys and the Mexican Leo Leal will introduce you to three new great additions to the team as the Canadian duo "In2Deep", the Germans Soukie & Windish and last but not least another talented artist coming from Venice as ARG.O to close this stunning pack that perfectly represent the idea behind our label and the sound we love to release in our productions.

Hailing from Montreal, In2Deep touch the listener with their beautiful track "One". Its silky textures and hypnotic sounds introduce this wonderful journey we’re proposing to you on this brand new release.

Next there are Soukie & Windish, the two label heads from URSL, who debut their amazing "Transformation" with Musik Gewinnt Freunde to lead us on a different path that will take us to a darker side, however, still perfectly melting with its deep and breathtaking harmonies.

As our label name says, what we love to do is to bring together people from all over the world through the music. So this is what happened with Cosmic Cowboys from Italy and Leo Leal who has recently joined the family as well. The guys' contribution to this pack was "Citrine", a track that expresses a great new perspective of sound. Nico and Kaled's love for a more epic build featuring several layers of sound completes the sexiness that is essential in Leo's sound – creating something new that we really love.

To sum up this new adventure, we are happy to have ARG.O's amazing track named "Black Vision" which is the right thing for dark winter nights. It'll simply catch you right from the beginning and won't let you down to the very last second.

THE MIX:
This mix is all music that me and my friends made in Detroit during 1999-2006. It's a rainy day when I made this so I wanted to envelope the mix with the warmth of rain. We challenged ourselves to make 100% analog music at that time. It was uninhibited creation as we didn't think one second about release, we were just making music together. That magic is infused in the mix as that is the vibe that glues it together.

20 Years Of Freerange - 5 x Vinyl Box Set LP

June 2016 sees Freerange Records celebrate 20 years at the top. The label, run by Jamie ‘Jimpster’ Odell and Tom Roberts, is marking the occasion with the summer release of a carefully curated and lovingly assembled 20 track, five vinyl box set featuring exclusive new music from associates old and new, as well as with a worldwide events series.

Over the last two decades, generations of DJs and dancers have gotten down to the Freerange sound. Initially that was a mix of sample-heavy productions incorporating live musicians, flirtations with the broken beat sound and some ground breaking fidget house cuts from Switch and Trevor Loveys. Then, and most enduringly, the label settled into a rich vein of deep house. Shur-I-Kan, Kirk Degiorgio, Milton Jackson, Trackheadz, Stimming as well as Jimpster ushered in this most recent chapter, and in turn the label has helped make household names of many more previously unknown talents from Detroit Swindle to Manuel Tur, Andre Lodemann to Tony Lionni. Wherever you look amongst the hundreds of EP and LP releases on Freerange, you will find nuance and evolution, dance floor sensibility and genuine emotional impact.

That same sense of timelessness characterises this new compilation, which is packed with great music from the likes of KiNK, Pittsburgh Track Authority, Kuniyuki, Kito Jempere, Soul of Hex, Clavis, Detroit Swindle, and of course Jimpster himself, as well as a whole host of other Freerange regulars. There are many highlights across the 20 track package including a warm and skipping house cut from Bulgarian live specialist KiNK, a typically slow burning and beautifully arcing epic from Andre Lodemann and spaced out jack tracks from classically inclined Liverpudlian Tony Lionni.

Big name stars like Detroit Swindle return in style with a robust and acid laced banger, the ever-underrated Milton Jackson builds something melodically magical and Pittsburgh Track Authority layer up majestic string stabs and rubbery bass into soul infused future music. Jimpster himself bolsters the whole package both solo and with Luv Jam as well as remixing Tim Toh, and on each occasion proves why he is one of the pivotal figures of the UK deep house scene.

Few labels make it to twenty releases let alone twenty years strong. Often doing so without making any real fuss, now is the time that Freerange Records deserves its time in the spotlight, and this compilation more than proves that.

“Besides being an outstanding musical track, I know the power of a track when you write at a special moment and you express yourself completely through your music, Chicola has achieved that with ‘Childhood’ and has created a beautifully honest track, true to his feelings, this is why it is so special” – Guy J

As the northern hemisphere’s summer season kicks into gear, Guy J’s Lost & Found label is set to raise the bar yet again with another exceptional release. Sometimes music sounds like it is made in heaven and maybe this is one of those moments?

With an illustrious career stretching over two decades, Chico Shuella has become one of Israel’s most respected and sought after DJs and producers. An accomplished pianist (with an exceptionally keen ear for musical harmony), he operates under his Chicola production moniker and has transformed the underground house scene in his homeland while making giant strides on a global scale.

A musical connoisseur of the highest order, Chicola takes his time, building mood and heightening anticipation. The solid, basic, percussive intro to “Childhood” gives little away about what is to come, before simple, heart-melting melancholic chords rise up and create a cathedral of heart-wrenching beauty. It is this interplay between mournful and sanguine emotions that can make music so extraordinarily mind-blowing. For those who believe that music can affect people on a deeper, universal, emotional level, and can thus unite people, this is music to treasure. This is music to hold close to your heart.

Highly respected Argentinian music masters, Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile’s take on such an exceptional original piece of music is to build a laidback, summery, subtly evolving groove, whilst adding discordant abstract experimentalism, interwoven alongside those heavenly original elements to create a bold remix interpretation.

Lost & Found is steadily building a catalogue of releases that are uniquely joyous, uplifting, intelligent and beautiful. This is a label that everyone should, most definitely, always keep on their music radar. “Childhood” is the next exciting piece in an ever-evolving musical jigsaw puzzle.

LF030 Chicola - Childhood Preview

Chi Thanh has been active as a producer and DJ in the international club and dance music scene for a while (Top10 best-selling Beatport Deep House artist 2014) and has performed alongside artists such as: Booka Shade, Tale Of Us, Radioslave, Butch, Claptone, Mark Knight, Florian Kruse etc…

Moreover, Chi Thanh has remixed international artists such as: Booka Shade (“Body Language”), Lana Del Rey, The Do, Metronomy, The Disciples, 2Raumwohnung, Robot Koch… and his work has been featured on blogs such as: Deep House Amsterdam, Clash Mag, Pulse, DJ Times, Data Transmission, Resident Advisor…

Chi Thanh regularly releases on the label “Blaufield Music” of the electronic music legends Booka Shade and his music has also been featured on BBC Radio 1 UK by Pete Tong and Kolsch.
In addition Chi Thanh had a Beatport Club Hit (“Reach - Fluid EP”) with his collaboration with Robot Koch (Monkeytown Berlin-Moderat) on the acclaimed label DIYnamic Music (Solomun) last year.
He recently also remixed Robosonic (“For The People”/Armada Subjekt) and also remixed Booka Shade’s new single “Polar Lights” alongside John Monkman.

For his new single Chi Thanh teams up with vocalist Ben McCrary from Los Angeles. Ben comes from a very musical family with an extensive music history (see The McCrarys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_McCrarys ) and also counts the legendary singer Chaka Khan as his aunt.

They wrote the song “What’s A Man To Do” together in LA last year already but both feel that it is now more relevant than ever and feel like it’s the right moment to release their collaboration.

Lyrically the song deals with hardship, loss, pain and desperation and the protagonist feels helpless and lonely…. But just like in the “classic Blues-song” tradition the song still aims to give hope, a voice to the voiceless and to share solace so people can still find shelter and peace during hard times….

Musically the song starts with acoustic guitars until the deep house groove sets in and some percussion loops start to shimmer around. The emotional vocal starts telling the story and the warm and melancholic feeling takes over. The hookline “What’s A Man To Do” keeps repeating and in the breakdown the mood becomes empty and a sad vocal choir begins to chant until the climax in the end with added pads and strings, where the singer Ben exclaims all his pain and frustration.

Chi Thanh feat. Ben McCrary - What's A Man To Do - Club Remix

In the beginning were friendship and the love for music. Musik Gewinnt Freunde was born out of this. Nico Plagemann and Christian Hilscher, also known as Kollektiv Turmstrasse, started the label in 2006 and though they didn’t really know where it would go, the project took shape and kept spreading until today. The labels’ name is still its philosophy. Musik Gewinnt Freunde connects people who share a deep love for electronic music. It brings friends together and it makes new ones. Beeing inspired by the people around it, its’ sound is like a summer rain. Warm and melodic, bright and yet a little longing. It tells the things that remain unspoken. Listen with your heart.
