***************************************

Since its conception three years ago, the Hamburg based label hafendisko has been patiently building its reputation with a diverse and varied artist roster. Alongside releases from emerging talent such as Deo & Z-Man and Brynjolfor, it forms parent label hfn music's outlet for club oriented music whether with full releases or remixes for artists such as Kasper Bjørke and Faded Ranger and just recently welcomed renowned remixers such as Michael Mayer, Charles Webster and Luke Solomon, to name a few.

Now with the release of Nummer Eins, hafendisko is taking the next step in its evolution, serving up the best of past and present releases together with a string of exclusive cuts that signal an undeniably bright future. It’s machine music with real heart and soul as, time and again, the tracks locate that elusive sweet spot that unifies mind and body. 

The opening act replicates this highly collectable four track EP that precedes the compilation release: Snacks' 'Easy' provides an aptly titled intro, with sweet melodies, warm synth swells and looping vocal hooks evolving over a low slung, funk inflected groove. 'Purdie', the duo's debut last September instantly became a huge underground hit, while they are currently working on their debut album.

Unkwon is Anders Dixen from Copenhagen and people will stop asking if it's a typo soon. Just off his stunning remix for Trentemøller's 'Deceive' he takes it underground with the stuttering beats and melancholy phase of 'Everything', building a cavernous yet claustrophobic soundscape that's designed to make your eyeballs sweat, before Ewan Pearson's NRG instrumental of Kasper Bjørke's 'Apart' goes into dance floor overdrive, upping the ante again. Both the Michael Mayer and the Ewan Pearson mixes of Bjørke's final single off his newest album stirred a buzz. 

Next up, the mysterious 'Penelope' leads us into the darker corners of disco as Deo & Z-Man unleash a flurry of dusty tribal rhythms, lo-fi piano stabs and twisted analogue circuitry. With their debut album 'No Bullshit' under their belts the brothers just released the 'No Bullshit Remix EP (and album) with mixes by Arttu, SLG, Julius Steinhoff . Alex Dimou, Marc Schneider and many more.

Wir freuen uns riesig euch heute unsere Nummer 16 zu präsentieren. Und das von niemandem geringeres als Soul Button, den wir am 8. April im Bullitt Club, München zu Gast haben werden.

Interview:

How and when did you get into electronic music?

I think I was around 17 when I listened to Kraftwerk for the first time and I was completely shocked with the sounds they were producing. I then started to do some research and after some months, discovered that Roland was making one of its first drum machines. I convinced my father to buy one and started to make music. Over the first year, I was only programming drums... no bass lines, no synths, only drums. Keep in mind there were no computers back then either. I then bought a sampler AKAI 900 months later and I produced my first techno vinyl at the age of 19. That was almost 20 years ago now. :)

Which musical moments have been especially memorable to you? 

For sure when I was very young, around 18, during the periods when I started creating my first techno live sets for illegal rave parties. I’m talking about free parties, it meant I was playing in front of 2-3 thousand people sometimes. Nice memories … 

Which plans do you have for the future with Steyoyoke?

Personally my goal is to release an album, but I don't think this will happen for a while, because I don’t have so much free time to stay in studio at the moment. Between my label office work and gigs, it keeps me very busy, but an album is definitely on the cards for the future. 

In regards to Steyoyoke, there aren't any really big plans. We just want to keep releasing good quality music with strong artistic concepts. All the artists are becoming more and more mature and the sound is evolving more and more, in its own unique way. I guess this is the key and my biggest goal.

If you could choose to play at any venue in the world, which place would it be?

Definitely at Warung in Brazil. I think it’s one of the most beautiful clubs and somewhere where I would love to play.

Monoplay - Trust Me (Original Mix)[ FREE DOWNLOAD ]

As we promised, Ellen Allien is back. The BPitch Control boss' latest instalment is the Turn Off Your Mind EP, comprising of two raw, unpolished tracks of pure techno magic produced on a Roland Aira TR-8, TVB 303 and a Jupiter Synth in Ellen's living room. The EP evokes music time travel – most reminiscent of her time spent DJing at E-Wrk, Planet and Tresor in 1990s Berlin. On the A-side sits 'Hoo'. A rolling 8:08 time span of kaleidoscopic acid-soaked patterns and a cyclical bass line, all generous on the reverb. Despite a low tessitura, 'Hoo's moments of euphoria are still palpable. Ellen brings the sheer joy and thrill back to Berlin techno.

29th April is the due date to turn up your speakers and Turn Off Your Mind. Grab it on Beatport a little earlier, from 18th April.
