"Everything started back in early 2014 when I came across the first tracks of Junktion on Outplay", remembers Dairmount with a smile on the face. "I was surprised I never heard of the artist & the label before and as an obsessed discoverer, I had to find out. I quickly got in touch with Hans, Mr Junktion in person and got hooked by the kindness, humility & laid back approach of the man. I found out also that Outplay was their own little labour of love and a few weeks later, their first vinyl release was released. Then came the second strike as I got hooked on the tracks of the mysterious Fouk. Hans quickly confessed that Fouk was the brainchild of his duo with his best friend Daniel Leseman. Not only I became one of their number 1 fans & hammered the tracks in my dj sets & podcasts but i felt I wanted to get to know them in person."

It took till the autumnal Amsterdam vibes of ADE for Phil to meet the boys in person and it didn't take them long to decide to work together. Knowing the high A&R standards of Phil and his appetite for very personal piece of music, it took them them till spring 2015 to submit the first drafts of the Heavy on the Bacon tunes. In the meantime, Fouk were steadily being noticed by other quality imprints such as Local Talk , Fifty Fathoms Deep or Pusic for remixes without forgetting their solo efforts of the highest order as Junktion & Daniel Leseman on Slow Town, Sleazy Beats, Razor'n'Tape or Rose Records. "I remember being happy about the first versions but also having this strong feeling that I could bring them slightly out of their comfort zone. I felt that Heavy On The Bacon could be developed with a stronger live instrumentation feel, reminiscent of a live Disco band, beyond their usual sound signature. Hans & Dan embraced the challenge and we exchanged a lot on mixdown color & arrangement to all be super happy with the final result"
It is no surprise that the track became their first "beyond 6 minutes" track allowing a long and subtle build-up full of catchy verses, chorus, bridges & breaks. A brilliant example of a "live feel" club monster. The second track of the single called Coconuts is a more classic Fouk moment, reminiscent of their recent smash hit Ep Kill Frenzy on Detroit Swindle's Heist with spectacular welcome by critics & listeners alike. Their swing, tasty sampling techniques & love for Jazzy chords are all fuelling the beast and round up another timeless moment on the label.

Fouk / Heavy On The Bacon / Preview

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…
