Basti Grub If this was hate, incl Aviation Center Remix
Out 2.11.2018 (incl the Aviation Center Extended Remix as fourth Track)

Tracklisting: 
01 Basti Grub - If This Was Hate feat. Masheé
02 Basti Grub - Rave On Me
03 Basti Grub - If This Was Hate feat.Masheé (Aviation Center Remix)

Info: 
While the remixes of Timo Maas’ and Basti’s collaboration together with Eric Volta for Mobilee are climbing the charts and the original of „We Were Riding High“ is still is on heavy rotation, Rockets & Ponies delivers the „If This Was Hate“ EP by Basti Grub. 
The release kicks off with the main track „If This Was Hate“, featuring the Vocals of Masheé, is nothing less than a sweet seduction brought to the dancefloors. No hate, no harsh feelings, just a splendid groover loaded with percussions and vibes. 
Next up is „Rave On Me“, a percussive and dubby 7 minutes roller with those haunting vocals you can’t resist. Time to get lost… 
The release is rounded out by 2 remixes for „If This Was Hate“ from up and coming Aviation Center. Not much is known about this Berlin based producer, who dropped his first release under that alter ego earlier this year, played Fusion and Garbicz Festival live, and delivered a remix in two versions which we could agree on immediately.

Snippets ROCKD029 Basti Grub If this was hate EP (incl. Aviation Center Remixes)

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.

...Vinyl 🔥

Promoter: Thoughtful Revolutions Music 
Expect thougtfully curated techno and techno events

We could say few things about Hjalti, like that he has ticked all the boxes that most good Icelandic dj's have done. 

He's got mountains of vinyl, has played at the obligatory night-spots, festivals and radio stations, shared a stage with legendary International and local artists.
 
We could say that (actually, just did), but that would leave out the most if not the only important thing, the music! 

Hjalti's music is simply underground, minimal house music with a wink to the soulfulness and history of the House Nation. Let there be house in your house.
