My A&R work for Room With A View

NOTICE : this is a FILE PREVIEW FOR LISTENING ONLY (128kbit - 24000 kHz sample rate- Mono)

  To celebrate the first birthday of the label, Dairmount is delivering the 4th instalement of his acclaimed Perspectives serie with once again only exclusive material by top producers of the label and some new funkateers joining the family.

  Seven tracks of the highest order including the unstoppable Motor City Drum Ensemble presenting a fantastic Mr Fingers tribute, the label's Gothenburg Techno wizard Joel Alter (praised by Hawtin, Hell & Pullen) with his cross-pollinating Ride With Me with crazy vocals of Eric D Clark (Remember Disco To Disco?) and Tronicsole wunderkid Hiro offering his personal rendition of Art Of Tones' Breaking Bad.

  Franklin De Costa, known for his work on Dieb, Einmaleins or Connaisseur, contributes with the hypnotic Lost Me while label honcho project duo Dairmount & Berardi retweaked André Lodemann's Dark Edge (out of the successful Vehemence Of Silence EP of last autumn). Last but not least, Christoffer Berg (noticed for his work with Little Dragon & Fever Ray) & his brother Alex Berg (aka Cloud) joined forces as John Berg to grace us of a tremendous deep house odyssey to close this full length.

  The release will be pre-released for the Miami Winter Conference on Traxsource next week and the official release will follow on APRIL 2nd 2010.

“It took me only a few minutes to realise that André is one of these rare individuals that make you feel instantly “at home”… I understood quickly then that the music I discovered earlier on labels like Moods & Groove or Simple, was a real mirror of his soul…”
It is indeed on a cold day of that 2008 Berlin autumn that André & myself had a tea time & decided to work together. André decided spontaneously to record fresh material especially for the label, more than 6 months before our first release. This says a lot about the common trust that was born that day, much before the hype surrounded the man.

The result of this saw the light some weeks later in the form of Vehemence Of Silence, a track of indeniable power which breathes long years of djing & Berlin afterhours as much as uncovering close impressions of André’s emotional outcome. This is what made me feel that track like a whisper to my body & soul and what makes me so proud to release it today… More than 10 months down the line, André improved it, tested it on the floor till a final club listening session in the middle of the Berghain dancefloor where we both knew it was ready to be shared…

This special track needed of course outstanding alternative perspectives and it didn’t take me long to propose my old friends Martin Iveson & Danilo Plessow (both amongst André’s favorites) to give it their magic : Atjazz managed to bring the track in subtle afro territories twisted with early Prescription echoes while Motor City Drum Ensemble’s version translates an unexpected Techno jam reminiscent of the best early Soma days. The EP is completed by a fantastic dub by André himself and a second original called Dark Edge, a sophisticated & raw deep house joint.

A&R and words by Dairmount

    * André released 3EP’s on Best Works which were received with huge acclaim from every side including the hit ” Where Are You Now?” that hit club charts worldwide. The track became one of the most important summer anthems of 2009.

Vehemence Of Silence EP

André Lodemann - Vehemence Of Silence

Listen back to our show with @balamii @wahwah45s @dom-servini

Kassian with Dom Servini - June 2019 [Balamii Radio]

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.

Release Info:
Dan Only returns for his third release on Dirt Crew Recordings with his Deciduous Dubs EP. This release sees the Toronto-native continuing his journey into new musical territories, leaving behind the past and rebuilding his framework from scratch. Armed with Akai Samplers, 90s Romplers and some tried and true Roland classics, this release explores sounds that were informed by Dubstep, Hardcore, House and Techno.

The release opens with “Gateway Shuffle”. The half-time drums and breakbeats link it back to early dubstep and reinforce the ghostly harmonies that glide throughout. Warping basses, deep subs and distant voices welcome you into the sonic world of this release.

“Terraforming” gives you hope in the unknown. The digital pads wash in as the meandering melodies invite you in to take a leap of faith out into the open. A deep sub forms among the all familiar four-on-the-floor kick patterns, providing the foundation needed to lose yourself in groove. By the end, you’re dancing across new ground in a trance-like state.

“It’s Inside You” gets to the root of it all. Stripped back and ever-evolving, the bouncing bass line and shapeshifting landscape contorts around you as this techno groover pummels forward. This one is heady and contemplative and all about self-discovery on the dance floor.

We end our trip with “Macrodose”. Diving through twisting basses and breakbeat science, you’re taken deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, much farther than you anticipated. There’s a stark contrast between the reality you once knew and the one you are now in. If you can push through the peak you’ll be welcomed by a euphoric afterglow and strong sense of clarity.

Born in Brussels / Based in Berlin

With nearly 30 years of experience and passion inside of the Global Music Industry and Electronic Music scene under my belt, my Digital Music Services & Music Curation Expertise have been valued by companies such as Apple, Beatport, Label Worx, Finetunes or Soundtrack Your Brand to name a few.
A "Music Entrepreneur" at heart, I have been lucky to dj around the world and to release on respected labels such as Freerange and Atjazz Record Company.
I'm also the founder and A&R of the respected Room With A View label (since 2009) and co-running Rocco Rodamaal's Memories imprint (since 2018). Always up to help independent artists to grow, I'm happily consulting many of them behind the scenes.

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…
