Praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10" from label swami, 7 Citizens.

'Do Your Head In' is charged with A side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. Flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it's as playful as it is tormenting. It invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole.

'Stride' is an altogether less hairy affair. It's honest. It's honest about the fact you're going to need a 'safe word'. An acid romp with unwavering purpose.

7 Citizens - Stride (Praterei 008, SIDE B)

Praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10" from label swami, 7 Citizens.

'Do Your Head In' is charged with A side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. Flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it's as playful as it is tormenting. It invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole.

'Stride' is an altogether less hairy affair. It's honest. It's honest about the fact you're going to need a 'safe word'. An acid romp with unwavering purpose.

7 Citizens - Do Your Head In (Praterei 008, SIDE A)

distribution & mailorder: http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/455304-01.htm 

Praterei is back and no pseudonyms this time, but a rites of passage for some brothers into the world of 4x4. The New Tower Generation are homegrown Viennese talents more known for their musical prowess in the live domain or on your favourite broken beat record but they come to Praterei 004 with an uncanny affinity for the essence of house music.  The one fingered layers of 'Horny Goat Weed' build to create a loose but purposeful assault into a dancefloor groove that might have existed at any point in the last 20 years - determined, jacking and Mellotron-tastic. 'Trembolon' is an altogether more multi-timbral affair.  From the off we're in balmy sonorous territory and the building synth line counterpoints the relentless jazz loop, accented by live percussion. If you're not roused by this you need to check your pulse.

Praterei 004 SIDEB - The New Tower Generation - Trembolon (May 2012)

Praterei returns with their 5th instalment and so do those twins with their second successive offering to the Vienna stable! The ingredients on this one are similar to the last but the result is no less stirring.

The rough and ready side of the 12 belongs to the aptly entitled 'House' and you'll soon see why. 
Never straying too far from the old school; shuffling beats and rims keep things swinging. 
Each layer of the melody is deep in 'you'll be whistling this later' territory and intermittent vocal shouts remind us exactly what it is we are listening to.

The flip beckons for you to 'Walk With Me' and that you must. 
The beat saunters along but always with a sanguine skip and our seductive protagonist guides 
us through the warm textures of rich pads and stabs.

This is one of those records where, for both tracks, the message could not be more perfectly translated. Every aspect contributes to a common goal, and that's a rare and quite special thing.

Praterei asserts its septenary in confidence with a double AA-side collaboration between label proprietor 7 Citizens and Berlin based producer  Rydim.

They each offer their own interpretation of the The Interview; a live jam from Rydim´s studio in Friedrichshain last summer. The result is a mischievous jaunt through each of the pair's renowned sentiments and fortes, a chugging pulse and playful synth-work underpinned with misshapen and ethereal pads.

The Rydim side leans towards the floor with an unmistakeable ij swagger and pushes the intent of the track to the fore. 
7 Citizens, meanwhile, brings a touch more subtlety to the equation and gives things space with delicate reverbs and intricate sound design. 

Both are for the ass and the ears alike!

7 Citizens & Rydim - The Interview (Rydim Version, Praterei 007, SIDE B)

2013 | press release 

Praterei harks back to the halcyon days of clubs like The Loft and The Paradise Garage, fully dedicated to underground dance music. Expect a mixture of extra deep house and techno with a generous helping of disco thrown in from the vaults of internationally known deep-diggin' vinyl enthusiasts. Their attention to detail on the production side like flyers, posters and visuals, as well as the forward thinking booking strategy gave them the extra flink of reputation, being the place where the world´s finest DJs want to play at - located at the vivid Pratersauna in Vienna, the monthly Praterei parties stand for quality since 2009. 

Artists who played @ Praterei since it´s opening

Soulphiction, Wbeeza, Move D, Gerd Janson, Kerri Chandler, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Iron Curtis, Marcello Napoletano, Ethyl & Flori, The Revenge, Prosumer, Tensnake, Maurice Fulton, Levon Vincent, Nina Kraviz, Derrick May, Black Jazz Consortium, Andre Lodemann, Floating Points, Reade Truth, Losoul, Swede:art, Mirko Machine, Kristian Davidek, Bobbito Garcia, Snuff Crew, Kez YM, GI Disco, Chicago Skyway, Rick Wilhite, Andrés, Red D, Restoration, San Soda, Legowelt, Deep Space Orchestra, Italo Johnson, Brawther, Reboot Joy Confession, Ksoul, Tama Sumo, Blawan, Mark E, James Johnston, KRL, Medlar, John Heckle, Juju&Jordash, Gerry Read, Red Rack'em, Amir Alexander, Ben UFO...to name just a few.

Praterei – the label

Since 2009 we once in a while were giving away handnumbered vinyl releases featuring exclusive tunes by artists who played at our club night. In truth you never knew who´s on it for sure, but that - according to us – made things even more thrilling. 
At the same time our imprint evolved into a homebase for new artists such as analogue rebel 7 Citizens (who is one half of Hundred20, alongside Motor City Drum Ensemble) or The New Tower Generation, a cheeky talented producer duo, introduced in 2012 on our fourth & fifth vinyl. Number 6, released in march 2013, was the first Various Artists Ep featuring Chicago Skyway, Snuff Crew, Ethyl and 7 Citizens. And there we go with Number 7, about to drop in late spring/early summer, featuring a jointventure of Rydim and Praterei co-founder 7 Citizens.
