NOTICE : this is a FILE PREVIEW FOR LISTENING ONLY (128kbit - 24000 kHz sample rate- Mono)
We are really happy to present the first volume of our new compilation serie " My View Of the Room" where one of our beloved artists revisit the catalogue, selects his favorites and serves them "rolled" in a very personal dj mix, offered as bonus.
The man opening the serie is Ludovic Llorca aka Art Of Tones, who impressed everyone this year with his successful " The World As I Live It EP", literally played by everyone from Jimpster to Joey Negro still months after its release.
Ludovic didn't fear to explore every corner of the large RWAV catalogue and focussed on 16 jewels courtesy of Dairmount &amp; Berardi, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Sasse, Joel Alter, Marlow, Sygaire, Honesty or André Lodemann besides his own hit The World As I Live It and a brand new exclusive new tune named The Void Between Us.
And as Frenchmen like to me it hot for the gourmets amongst you, he combined all tracks in one hour sound odyssey. More than a classic dj mix, Ludovic reached a complex &amp; musical energetic sound trip using separated elements of each track, displaying beautifully what makes the RWAV sound so unique &amp; homogenic at the same time.
The compilation includes 17 tracks plus the one hour bonus mix displayed here.


Art Of Tones Presents My View Of The Room (VIEWEDSPC002)

It is a genuine pleasure for me to open 2010 with a solo release of my close friend & studio partner MARINO BERARDI, as I got the chance to follow his musical path for more than a decade now…
Many dj’s graced us of overwhelming feedback about our recent common output as DAIRMOUNT & BERARDI in 2009 but very few people know that Marino was one of the very first European producers to appear on prestigious American labels such as Francois Kevorkian’s Wave Music or Josh Wink’s Ovum…

In the fast moving scenes of today, Marino could appear as a “veteran” with more than 15 years of djing & production under his belt and he looks firmly firmly ready to push things forward in 2010.
Best Intention is one of these special joints that seem made to spice up your sets for the right moment. At the intersection of quirky Deep House & Dub Techno boundaries, the track reveals the underlying power of dusty samples to create an 11 minutes hypnosis that will surprise you by its uplifting virtues.
I fell in love instantly with the track the first time Marino played me the demo version and I knew that it would become a very unique dancefloor moment for the ones among us liking it dirty, moody & dubby.

It is always very important to provide interesting “perspectives” of an exciting original work and the 2 gentlemen that reworked Best Intention didn’t fail to deliver excellent personal versions.
DAVE PEZZNER, the Seattle sound wizard recognised for his work on Freerange, OM Records or Ghostly International, signed what he declared himself as ” one of his most intimate re-interpretations to date”. For me, this amazing 10 minutes version is close to the fantasy of a late night lullaby that could have been composed collectively by Steve Reich, Morgan Geist & Charles Webster.
The second perspective is coming courtesy of CHRISTO, a new talent from Derby, discovered by Atjazz. The man is planned for promising things this year with a release on RWAV and the launch of his own Superficially Deep imprint very soon.
His version remains closer of the spirit of the original while giving it a warm techy edge.

Art Of Tones Presents My View Of The Room

Marino Berardi / Best Intention (Pezzner Perspective)

Mastered version of the first EP of Honesty coming end of april / early may...

Honesty / Bleepme / Main mix

THIS IS THE DIGITAL VERSION OF THIS EP (also available as a 2 tracks Vinyl Sampler)
  AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON TRAXSOURCE.COM STARTING ON WEDNESDAY 18/3
  AVAILABLE ON ALL DIGITAL STORES STARTING ON FRIDAY 3/4
  
  We are proud to present you our very first release coming as part of the seasonal serie PERSPECTIVES which will introduce you to some core artists of our roster through exclusive tracks & samples of our forthcoming releases. PERSPECTIVES 01 kicks off in style with a very unexpected track by Deep House veteran ABACUS, known for his classics on Chicago‘s Guidance in the 90‘s. This dark & dubby rollercoaster has been in our dj sets for a long time and it has confi rmed many times to be an outstanding track judging by crowds reactions. Crossing the lines between House & Techno territories, it represents proudly our label‘s motto…
  
  For the ones that witnessed already smoky & dirty intimate clubs back in the days, this one is for you : German sound wizard MARLOW, known for releases on Moon Harbour, Konsequenz & soon on Dennis Ferrer‘s Objektivity, offer you Fonk, a raw moody House odyssey loaded of Jazz & Funk samples carrying an early House vibe reminiscent of Lil‘ Louis & the Detroit school of Kenny Dixon Jr. Perfect to set up a special climax on the floors… A retro futuristic approach is also displayed in the rumbling Bass-Ment Tale by label honcho Dairmount & his partner in crime Marino Berardi, noticed for his early releases on Ovum & Wave Music some years back. DAIRMOUNT & BERARDI deliberately wanted to bring their own persperctive on Hip Hop esthetics once pioneered by people such as DJ Duke, Pal Joey or Kenny Dope. House music as you don‘t hear very often anymore…
  
  The next 2 tracks are belonging to some of our forthcoming releases and we couldn‘t wait to share them with you as a promise of things to come : Jazzanova‘s own Roskow has „cooked“ a wonderful EP for the label under his solo moniker SYGAIRE and we are uncovering here the blasting Deep House remix of The Time Is Now by SHUR-I-KAN, known for his work on Freerange & Urbantorque to name a few. Closing this EP with class & distinction, Moodmusic‘s head SASSE has reworked in a late night groover mode the long awaited Subakuatik Blues by PETTER & DAIRMOUNT, due early may in its original glory with an extra Sasse‘s dub & a fantastic Russ Gabriel rework.
  A well rounded first episode selected for you by DAIRMOUNT.

Marlow / Fonk / Raw mix

One year ago, just in the following of our 2nd release, one email landed in the RWAV mailbox praising about our label start & the excitement it provided. This email was including some unreleased tracks and signed by the hand of one of my favorite French producers of the last 15 years, Ludovic Llorca.

Beyond the great honor & surprise, this became the beginning of a deep artistic & human connection materialised by the appearance of his Carl Craig tribute, Terres Conquises & Philterism in my Perspectives serie in 2009. It was very clear from the start that these tracks would be the beginning of a long term collaboration on his Art Of Tones project.

The EP presented today is the fruit of Llorca’s inventive vision of what retro-futuristic Black rooted club music should be today. This 3 tracker is a perfect example of what House music can offer at its best when roots, history & identity are not forgotten on the way. The title track The World as I Live it is an hypnotic loopy builder that never stops building and create a unique climax, a kind of vitaminised version of Mr Parrish’s Ugly Edits. The track has proved to be an instant favorite of many House heavyweights such as Tony Humphries, Kink, Mike Monday or D’julz. Breaking Bad is offering an irresistible & more musical version of the Disco Funk rooted sound. For the ones that cherished the famous Raw Cuts of MCDE, this is maybe the sophisticated French savoir-faire answer to them. The track has proved to received early rotation in the best clubs from Berlin to Glasgow, from Istambul to Stockholm.
And finally, the Argument is probably the most hybrid & edgy track of the EP and is genuinely the nugget for the freestylers amongst you.

It is indeed a very special bunch of tracks that were recorded for this release and this one will satisfy both fans of leftfield House music and Neo Disco fetishists alike. The EP includes the spooky One For Oscar, the beautiful Disco odyssey of Shades Of Grey and the classic Detroit tribute of Lake Michigan (already presented on our Perspectives 03 in october 2009).

Special versions come along by highly recommended upcoming talents such as &ME, known for his work on Kindisch, Liebe Detail, Front Room, Gigolo or Souvenir, and new RWAV signing Paskal, recently noticed for his remarkable release on Wildtrackin and his remix of Alton Miller on Prog City Deep. All this round up by a special dub version of Lake Michigan by Sasse himself…

    Honesty - The Flight Of The Dragon
    Marlow - Digga
    Honesty - Bleep Me (Jimpster Perspective)
    Art Of tones - Terres Conquises (Tribute 2 C2)
    Andreas Saag - Jazz Lapse
    Joel Alter - Acid Rain (browse in the player to see it - don't miss it!)
    
    All tracks & mixes are EXCLUSIVE to this digital release and are carefully selected by
    label honcho DAIRMOUNT.
    
    
    After the success of the first episode which introduced the label's forthcoming sounds to many, we really wanted to go one step ahead on this new "Perspectives" to display the core of the Room With A View identity.
    
    DAIRMOUNT made sure that you'll get enough for your summer sets : 7 tracks and 60 minutes of timeless, deepness, moodyness & dubbyness. These few words could sum up the homogenic value of this collection which is also the perfect way to get to know better the core artists of the label & how close & personal we are working together.
    
    Omni is the freshly finished new cut of DAIRMOUNT himself & his partner in crime MARINO BERARDI. After the success of their raw "Bass-ment Tale", they headed to the deeper side of their experiments and deliver a 10 minutes journey of its own kind fusing their wide spectrum of influences.
    
    The Flight Of The Dragon by HONESTY is another proof of the very own sound universe of the Berlin producer. Extremely subtle & musical, this track is perfect for early hours of a midsummer night. Truly beautiful!
    
    Bleep Me, one of the highlights of the Renaissance EP of HONESTY, has been revisited in a very unexpected way by Freerange's JIMPSTER who delivered an hypnotic Basic Channel-esque perspective of the track that will surprise his numerous fans. A very special gift by our longtime friend from London...
    
    MARLOW, who is soon releasing on DENNIS FERRER's Objektivity, created Digga, another monster of raw analogue overdrive as only him can come up with. Another delight for the numerous fans of "Fonk" & his recent remix of Sygaire on the label.
    
    ART OF TONES' Terres Conquises is an outstanding track here as it is uniting 2 of our favorite producers for a very special tribute : CARL CRAIG's work is revisited by LUDOVIC LLORCA who managed to bring his own vision of Carl's body of work.
    The track is included in the forthcoming STACEY PULLEN mix on 20:20 Vision and has been blessed by C2 who is already playing it in his sets.
    
    Coming as a teaser of his forthcoming EP in 2010, Gothenburg's legend & very dear friend ANDREAS SAAG has blessed us with his amazing Jazz lapse, a track that DAIRMOUNT fell in love with at first listening & promised Andreas to introduce to music lovers worldwide.
    
    And last but not least, another secret weapon of the RWAV roster, JOEL ALTER drops a deep Techno bomb called Acid Rain, already considered as a classic amongst the lucky ones that heard it, announcing his forthcoming Omerta EP in the autumn.

The file to download is in 320kbit quality.

We are really happy to present the first volume of our new compilation serie " My Room Of The View" where one of our beloved artists revisit the catalogue, selects his favorites and serves them "rolled" in a very personal dj mix, offered as bonus.

The man opening the serie is Ludovic Llorca aka Art Of Tones, who impressed everyone this year with his successful " The World As I Live It EP", literally played by everyone from Jimpster to Joey Negro still months after its release.

Ludovic didn't fear to explore every corner of the large RWAV catalogue and focussed on 16 jewels courtesy of Dairmount & Berardi, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Sasse, Joel Alter, Marlow, Sygaire, Honesty or André Lodemann besides his own hit The World As I Live It and a brand new exclusive new tune named The Void Between Us.

And as Frenchmen like to me it hot for the gourmets amongst you, he combined all tracks in one hour sound odyssey. More than a classic dj mix, Ludovic reached a complex & musical energetic sound trip using separated elements of each track, displaying beautifully what makes the RWAV sound so unique & homogenic at the same time.

The compilation includes 17 tracks plus the one hour bonus mix displayed here.

Art Of Tones / The Void Between Us / Previously Unreleased

It's already the third episode of the Perspectives serie served with love by DAIRMOUNT who prepared with lots of care the fattest compilation of his young imprint with nothing less than 8 high standard tracks, all exclusive to this release.

The unstoppable MOTOR CITY DRUM ENSEMBLE, who is currently topping both vinyl & digital charts with his latest Raw Cuts & his remixes of Dj T & Steve Bug, graced us with a beautiful moody number with a distinctive MCDE pedigree. Our old friend SASSE will release a full EP with us in 2010 and we couldn't wait to present you Lake Michigan, an inspired little "clin d'oeil" to Detroit godfathers, part of his forthcoming EP.

HONESTY retweaked SYGAIRE's classic The Time Is Now to give it a late night dubbiness touch of the best order while Ludovic Llorca offers one of his ART OF TONES solid builder with Philterism, a track heavily played by Dairmount since he fell in love with it...

Static Off (Dust Away) marks another moment of studio experimentation for the mighty duo DAIRMOUNT and MARINO BERARDI who seem to take unexpected ways track after track. After the acclaimed Omni on Perspectives 02, this is another slice of hybrid House music.

ANDRÉ LODEMANN, one of Berlin's hot shots of 2009, fresh from his massive Vehemence Of Silence EP on our label, signed another serious Deep House number called Gentle Doubt that will satisfy his numerous new fans.

Round The Block is another Dairmount's discovery courtesy of the respected WERNER NIEDERMEIER who produced remarkable stuff this year on Supplement Facts & Phonica (as JC Freaks). Pure boompty bump for your pleasure!

And finally, JOEL ALTER, one of our favorite Swedish producers, dropped Control, a druggy nugget announcing his flamboyant Omerta EP due in November this year. 

Dairmount Presents Perspectives 03

André Lodemann / Gentle Doubt

Joel Alter / Control

"Our ways crossed 3 years ago during one of my stay in Gothenburg", remembers Dairmount about his first meeting with Joel Alter. "Our common friend Christoffer Berg introduced us and we spent a very chilled summer day together, discussing & listening to some of his works in progress. I brought back some of them on a cdr and this was the start of an artistic exchange that shaped up in the years following... It was always clear to me that Joel would be a special personality I would be happy to introduce to listeners the day I would found my own label..."

Indeed, despite the fact that Alter has been one of the main underdogs of the Swedish Techno scene, he has never been interested to take part to the ego cult of the global Techno planet. He took care of shaping his sound on a long period of time, eventually caught the attention of Dj Hell & Richie Hawtin who both released some of his works on their Gigolo & M_nus imprints & relocated in Berlin in search of new inspiration. "What fascinated me very quickly with Joel is how his music embodies the bare essentials of the Techno spirit. He lives & breathes this music nearly as a spiritual experience" claims enthusiastically Dairmount.

"it was really important to me to bring him to display the genuine soul of his Techno vision & to develop the tracks that were displaying this unique contrast of organic & mechanical values..." Dairmount's aim has been to bring an homogenic collection of tunes showing perfectly the strong emotional versatility of Alter and his outstanding science of the dancefloor : Omerta displays a unique energy & bounce while exploring dubby territories. A dub factor raising high with the haunting Preaching To The Choir and the disturbing Alley Cat, both exploring sounds with depth & determination.

The secret weapon of this EP is definitely the african influenced cut called Jungle Fever that seems to be tailor made to fit Sirs Villalobos & Luciano's sets.

Joel Alter / Alley Cat

Very few new imprints have received such a warm welcome from all sides of the spectrum than Room With A View. Respected dj’s, worldwide music media & retailers have all been deeply impressed by the quality & vision transported by the label founded in spring 2009 by Dairmount & Anja Knupper in Hamburg. The label’s ethic is aiming to get back to timeless “emotional content” club music with a futuristic flair, while breaking the pattern of “functionality” that club music too often slips into these days. Room With A View presents a subtle mixture of House & Techno with a twist of freshness & Detroit influences. 

It is quite a little performance to invite a large range of dj’s to enjoy the same sound these days : Techno mammoths such as Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Ritchie Hawtin, Dubfire or Dj Hell, Deep House heavyweights such as Jimpster, Dj Deep, Manuel Tur or Brothers Vibe, Tech House masters such as Steve Bug, MANDY or Joris Voorn, Leftfield wizards such as Lawrence, Peter Kruder, Jazzanova or dj legends such as Danny Krivit or Francois K have all embraced the sound of the label with real enthusiasm…
