„One day I was on a visit sitting in his kitchen and when we decided to change to the sofa in the music room, his girlfriend proposed to listen to these old recordings, as maybe I would be weird enough to like them. „Recorded in my homestudio, low budget style with a cheap microphone, a sampler, drum machines, vinyl and a few borrowed synths. … A commitment to the funk, a raw analogue sound and also a dedication to black music and its architects.“ the artist comments on it.
I immediately dug the rather short demos a lot. As I had to swallow the information that there never were real plans to release them, I later decided on the bus home, I just had to puke out a „label“. Soon I asked him to extend some of the songs and let me do some mixing and here is the album.“ Cid Hohner

Shutters Studio Residency: The Second Episode from Hamburg’s Synthesizer Heaven

Shutters and Kommerz Records are proud to present Sofie & Speckman on the second episode of Shutters Studio Residency, a new video series showcasing songs created in a bootcamp with a breathtaking selection of analog sound machines at Synthesizer Studio Hamburg. Local hero Speckman meets Vienna-based multi instrumentalist and artist Sofie Royer, forming a duo that could not be more different.

The two became friends after Sofie DJed at the same party in Hamburg in 2017 and invited Speckman to play in Vienna soon after. Later Speckman joined Sofie as a guest on her NTS radio show “SOS” before their musical liaison resulted in their first joint single "Leave" (Public Possession, 2021). Since Sofie & Speckman had only worked remotely with each other until then, their Shutters Studio Residency brought the duo together for a first live session. The result is called "Cheerleader”, a new wave track drained in heavy synth production with raw vocals by Sofie. Through Shutters you will experience the original version behind the “Cheerleader” club mix, which dropped on Public Possessions last year.

Sofie, a classically trained violinist, got her foot in LA’s vibrant hip-hop and beat scene through an internship at the legendary Stones Throw Records. Her violin can be heard on releases from artists like Anderson Paak, Knxwledge and Mndsgn. Over the past years she developed her very own sound and released two albums as a singer-songwriter with Stones Throw. After the release of her self-produced debut album “Cult Survivor” she wanted to incorporate different sounds into her music. Speckman's house and breakbeat style, which he elaborated as resident DJ at legendary Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg, seemed like an interesting terrain for her. Speckman's distinct electronic productions and creative cosmos were most recently showcased through his debut album "Beautiful Breakdance" (Pudel Produkte, 2021) as well as his collaborations with artists such as Sophia Kennedy, Erobique and Synkro.

Shutters Studio Residency invites talented artists to spend a few days at Synthesizer Studio Hamburg, run by German engineer legends Sunny Vollherbst and Frank Husemann (Tocotronic, Tomte, Blumfeld). Located in the brutalist Feldstraßen bunker, the studio offers a unique collection of around 30 vintage synthesizers, organs and pianos, as well as 16 drum machines and beat boxes.

Shutters Studio Residency and partnering label Kommerz Records are providing this platform for artists to push the boundaries of their sound, explore the possibilities of vintage analog ynthesizers and present their creative creations.

Shutters Studio Residency: Love & Tears at the Bunker in Hamburg 

For the third installment of the Shutters Studio Residency, we invited Hamburg's own DJ and producer extraordinaire, L.F.T., to explore the innovative artistry defining his unique sound.

L.F.T., Love Fist Tears, is a musical dynamo surging through electronic music's frontlines. A master of merging new wave and breakbeat-inspired electro, his tracks are a symphony of The Hague's raw beats and 80s San Francisco synth nostalgia. Labels like Return To Disorder, Mechatronica, and Eye for An Eye Recordings have echoed with L.F.T.'s creations. His debut album on Osaré Editions and the enigmatic "Salz" on Mannequin Records solidify his sonic journey. L.F.T. fluidly blends electro and techno, crafting soundscapes that mirror our fears and dreams. Based in Hamburg, L.F.T. aka. Johannes Haas co-curates events at the Golden Pudel Club and co-runs the experimental-focused "Neoprimitive" label with Lukas Fischer. 

In his Shutters Studio residency, L.F.T. presents the track "Leaves Casting Shadows" created in the "Synthesizer Dreamland" at synthesizer studio hamburg. It’s a gloomy electro backbeat with distorted spoken vocals and deep sub basses. Catchy whirring synthesizers complete the song in their subtle appearances. A dark and yet incomprehensibly beautiful sonic landscape that is held before our eyes.

Shutters Studio Residency presents a rare opportunity for talented artists to immerse themselves in the creative atmosphere of Synthesizer Studio Hamburg. Founded by renowned German engineer legends Sunny Vollherbst and Frank Husemann (known for their work with Tocotronic, Tomte, Blumfeld), this iconic studio resides within the captivating Feldstraßen bunker and offers a unique collection of around 30 vintage synthesizers, organs and pianos, as well as 16 drum machines and beat boxes.

Shutters Studio Residency and partnering label Kommerz Records are providing this platform for artists to push the boundaries of their sound, explore the possibilities of vintage analog synthesizers and present their creative creations.

DJ Swagger has been an all time fav for us ever since the release of his first EP (sometime around 2016/17 deep in the internetZ). So it's more than overdue to have him on the show. It's one very unexpected hour, starting off with an unexpected song: "Black Pegasus" by DJ Swagger (notable mention: the vox are his) and Londoner Henry Greenleaf (notable mention: the killer guitar is his). We're speaking with DJ Swagger about his latest inspirations and upcoming projects. And we (Lukas & Jonathan of the Kommerz) listen to music together – a wild ride as usual.

RE:BOOT #3 w/ DJ Katapila & MVDL

wir sind ganz alleine jung wir brauchen keine hilfe/
dieser regen auf der haut er brennt wie tausend kleine stiche/
nächte rauben mir die sinne, draussen mit der klinge/
-junkies und kaputte was du haufenweise findest/
-rauche ganze tag aber ich kann nicht schlafen/
wir sind am frieren ihr macht urlaub auf den balearen/
diese bitch is mich am essen so wie kannibalen/ 
scheiß auf arge ich will money haben/
kein witz junge, und garantiert du hältst die fresse wenn du kriegst junge/
wenn es sein muss wirst du brennen wie ein spliff junge/
es wird blutig werden wenn mein bruder trifft junge/
ich sag was ist junge/
real shit junge, ich weiß noch damals nahm die polizei mich mit junge/
kuck ich rauche diese gas ich rauche gift junge/
ich kann nicht stoppen bis ich reich bin oder sitz junge/
ich mache trips junge/
wenn du nichts hast würdest du viel machen für ein bisschen/
junkie strassenbahn am sitzen, mit der nadel etwas spritzen/ 
pussy alle kannst du schicken, nimm die waffen in die hände/
ich brauch batzen ohne ende, bruder habis oder bentley/
junge du bist eine schande, flache hand auf deine wange/
mund auf baby ich bin in ihrem kopf wie ein gedanke/
scheiß auf deine leute, hinterlass ein jungen träumend/
spiel mit mir und du liegst in einem kasten wie ein säugling/
yo du bist ein lauch, raste aus, für mein bruder jj/
ich rauch haze haze, triff uns let it rip wie beyblade/
junge das is 42 armee, triff uns live in hd/
nehm die hände aus den taschen und ich score wie mane/
—es ist so kalt, das gewalt, bitch ich grip metall/
im regenwald, donner schallt, was du sagst ist falsch/
—für die 4, attackiern, bro ist motiviert/
nicht diskutiern, bruder nicht mir/
bitch grüne säcke, wenn ich esse wisse dass auch meine brüder essen/
du verstehst nicht was wir sagen du musst übersetzen/
starke ott wir sind so high als ob wir flügel hätten/
du gehst auf demo und schreist lügenpresse/
yo du kennst mich von früher ich bin nicht derselbe/
ich will scheine grüne gelbe, lila braun in händen/
halt die fresse du weißt nicht wie geblutet habe/
es wird zugeschlagen, junge jetzt musst du bezahlen/
