Rockets and Ponies is proud to bring you the latest addition to our roster: Mr. Pepper, 'Phi Ratio EP'.

Rockets and Ponies returns for its latest release of 2015 courtesy of Russian-born Alexey Shlykov, aka Mr. Pepper, titled Phi Ratio. This newest artist to the label has his focus on live instrumentation, fusing it with minimal and techno elements to form a cohesive punchy sound.

The whole EP conjures up the atmosphere of sun-soaked terraces in Ibiza, beginning with Just Do featuring Elisha’s vocals. Roadtested by label boss Timo Maas to “incredible reactions” all summer, the track combines dark piano stabs with repetitive deep atmospheric vocals. Each track is suited to different hours of the day, you could say that Sunflower signifies the rising sun, turning people’s attention from Just Do’s deepness to the floating melody of Glance, which moves in and out of focus, sustained by raw and engulfing tribal percussion. The title track, Phi Ratio twins a rolling bassline with distorted synth sections and to round off proceedings we have Sky Underfoot, perfectly treading the middle-ground between after party and main-room dancing.

Premiere : Stefano Ritteri - About A Young Lady [Rockets & Ponies]

I Accidentally deleted the original from my soundcloud with almost 400 plays, heartbreaking to say the least. So i replaced the edit with the original here. First ever completed produced track of mine with help from my boy Ben Browne. &#13;
&#13;
This track pretty much incorporates a combination of music styles that I've acquired growing up starting off by adding samples of my first love, heavy metal and then transitioning on to electronic music. I remember watching the Christian Woman video as a kid and being totally creeped out by it but at the same time curious and infatuated with the sounds and the girl lol not having any idea that my passion would eventually be djing and creating muzzikk.&#13;
&#13;
This is not your typical music you hear now a days which makes it that much more unique to me. &#13;
&#13;
Be on the lookout for more productions to come...soon! Cheers!

Starter EP

Timo Maas - Call Me A Taxi

Back in 2008, DJ and producer Mathias Kaden had a magic experience in the mountains near the Japanese town Kawaba, where he played at the renowned Labyrinth Festival. The contemplative dubby atmosphere inspired him to develop a new project dedicated to those deep, trippy and minimalistic shades of House music, and Mathimidori was born…

With releases on revered labels such as Mule Musiq, Traum and Vakant, Mathimidori’s originals have been remixed by the likes of DJ Koze, Maayan Nidam or Lawrence. Now it’s time for Mathias to apply his dubby treatment to an original and when it comes to electronic music, no one better than long-time friend and comrade Timo Maas to provide the raw materials. Rockets & Ponies is honoured to present Mathimidori’s first ever remix.

Premiere: Atelier Francesco - Lexical Syncopations (Mark Deutsche & Timo Maas Remix)

This version of Slowdance is so amazing that i had to make my rendition of it so that it can be playable at the club since the original doesn't have a kick, hats and so forth. I apologize for the distorted sound during the vocals as it's embedded in the sample and I did my best to get rid of.  I hope you enjoy it as much as i did working on it and hats off to Matthew Dear for such amazing creativity and uniqueness.

Timo Maas & James Teej have worked frequently together in the past, and their chemistry is highly audible within their re-envisioned version of "Porcelain." Ensuring the original's aesthetic is kept in place, they season its signature piano chords and dissonant synths with a throbbing bass-line and eclectic percussion. These subtle, yet crucial elements make "Porcelain" adaptable to the after hours dance-floor, hypnotizing listeners as it gently rolls along.

Premiere: Moby - Porcelain (Timo Maas & James Teej's Broken China Dub)

Rocket & Ponies have put together a special vinyl release for Record Store Day 2017 that finds Timo Maas & James Teej and Sebastian Mullaert serve up fantastic new remixes of classic Moby track ‘Porcelain’. These tracks released on a white label during Record Store Day 2017 sold-out within days, adding further weight to the Rockets & Ponies catalogue, which has been pioneering quality electronic music for almost a decade now.

Timo Maas is the long-time techno titan behind this label, and has partnered up with Canadian artist James Teej to great effect over recent years with a string of collaborations including the Grammy nominated reworking of Paul McCartney. Now the duo hook up again to serve up a Broken China Dub of Moby’s ’Porcelain’. Moby needs little introduction, as one of the figureheads for global dance music he has been pivotal in its development over the years and his seminal 1999 album ‘Play’, from which ‘Porcelain’ is taken, is an undeniable classic.

Maas & Teej’s vital new version is a trippy nine minute symphony of rubbery drums and synthetic synth sounds all run through with the smeared and heartbroken chords of the iconic original. The vocal cries and one finger piano notes also bring real emotion to the supple, rubbery groove and, as a result, this one is sure to make for plenty of teary-eyed moments on dancefloors, beaches, boat parties and terraces this summer.

Then comes Swedish artist Sebastian Mullaert, who has been turning out quality techno, minimal and IDM since the 90s both solo and as one half of Minilogue. From Mule to Hypercolour, Cocoon to Drumcode, he has recorded for the scene’s leading labels, never failing to deliver with each release. Mullaert is also a renowned vintage hardware junkie & sound engineer, who works from an incredible studio space on the edge of a nature reserve in Southern Sweden.

His masterful Transformation Mix is a fourteen minute opus that takes the listener on a trip through organic sound design, summery grooves and loose rhythms. It’s airy and feel good, dubby and infectious, and takes you ever higher with sumptuous strings and synths all oozing warmth and feel good vibes.

Respective Canadian and London born James Teej and Silky have paired up for a two track EP set to release on Timo Maas' Rockets and Ponies label. Mixmag grabs the second of the tracks called 'Sounds of Illford', a hypnotic tech house tune that transports to you to that sweet spot in the middle of a dancefloor. The EP, along with a remix from Tiefschwarz, is set for a vinyl release on Rockets and Ponies on February 2 and digitally March 2.

'AHH HAVING TROUBLE?? TAKE A SEAT, HAVE A DRINK! YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN WHO TAKES HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY...YOU WANT MY OPINION, YOU NEED TO LIGHTEN UP!!''

Rolando Hödar - Lighten Up (Original Mix) [Preview] Aero017

Visionary, legend, Jack-of-all-trades, seeker, giver, foodie, wizard…..there are many words to describe Timo Maas. Even after 30 years of dedication to his crowd, his down-to-earth mentality has put him in a unique position in the world of electronic music. His style is difficult to describe, as Timo approaches music with a youthful interest and passion of constant discovery. Thinking of this, you might better understand the approach of his imprint and baby, Rockets & Ponies.  

The label was started in 2008 with a single-sided 17min vinyl release. Yes, you read correctly, a single-sided 17 minute track, of course with an everlasting Intro. After that the Label went silent til 2010, the year Timo started working closely with Santos, who later released his own album on Rockets and Ponies, Maas’ own album „Lifer“ followed shortly after in 2013. Remixes followed by Fur Coat, Tim Green, Youandme, and Maetrik amongst others. 

In 2014 the label released remixes for Wolfgang Haffner, some may say the best German jazz drummer. Legends like Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer as well as Nightmares on Wax appeared on the label for remix treatments. 

You see, it is a difficult task to describe what Rockets & Ponies is about, maybe it is the easiest to realize that it’s Timo and his open mindset which sets the pace and creates projects and collaborations. 

In 2017 the label released on record store day the remixes for Moby’s „Porcelain", arguably one of Moby’s most popular tracks. James Teej and Timo teamed up for one version, and Sebastian Mullaert (Minilogue) delivered an 14min anthem, which made it into almost everyone’s record bag. 

In 2018 the label started to focus more and more on bringing new artists to the label, such as Of Norway, Basti Grub and Aviation Center, and as approaches it’s 10th Anniversary, the label is undergoing another rebirth….a period of relentless focus on surprises.
