2017 sees Dekmantel celebrating its 10th anniversary. A decade ago, the Amsterdam crew threw their first party in the Dutch capital; two years later Dekmantel Records followed. To celebrate this special occasion, the label will release ten EPs over the course of 2017 – every month one, starting in March, with the first EP dropping today - from artists that have shaped them into what they are today. On the bill are, amongst others, Ricardo Villalobos, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Fatima Yamaha, Legowelt, and Tom Trago.

For this series, Dekmantel invited producers who are close to their hearts, have been with them since day one or made a big musical impact on the crew. Amongst these are longtime friends like Juju & Jordash, Palms Trax, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Joy Orbison and Young Marco. Apart from these seasoned names, it’s with great pleasure to have welcome newcomers including Huerco S, Ectomorph, Shanti Celeste, Syracuse and Levon Vincent onboard. Last but certainly not least; a couple of stone cold geniuses will be responsible for a track on the series as well. Amongst them are Can percussionist Burnt Friedman, Donato Dozzy, Tony Allen, The Egyptian Lover and Ricardo Villallobos. 

The second special EP comes from striking electronic artist Call Super—who returns after his 2016 EP on the label—and party starting house star Shanti Celeste who makes her debut after many great EPs on labels like Apron and Secretsundaze. Call Super offers ‘Fluenka Spoke’, a multi layered rack with shimmering synths and pads and glitchy beats down low. Shanti’s ‘Hinoki’ then shows off the producer’s more techno side with a tough and urgent banger that trippy sound design and soul infused chords all urging you to dance.

Artist: Juxta Position
Title: Failsafe 02 
Release Date: 19.05.2017
Label: FAILSAFE
Cat. No: FA-SA-002
Format: Vinyl/ Digital

Following on from the very robust debut of his own label Failsafe, Juxta Position deviates back to the more melancholic aesthetic with which he initially made his mark back in 2013 on Mistress Recordings.

Drawing palpable influence from ambient electronica like Boards Of Canada, he then reframes the aesthetic, with the help of rhythmic anchoring, on the 12 minute opening opus “Eureka”.

However, not to disappoint lovers of the slightly harder, more uptempo, electronic beat, the flip then dishes up two significantly more pressurised techno pieces, the former “Made In Belgrade” more linear, the latter “Reimagined” more flamboyant.

There’s no stopping DJ Normal 4. While Tim Schumacher’s career was certainly rising towards a high ebb this summer, this comes to no surprise to those who have been following the  Mühlheim artist’s trajectory. A Salon des Amateurs family member, the man behind Aiwo Rec. has delivered a bewitching EP for Music from Memory sublabel Second Circle, proving that he is not only a master of breakbeat and rave, but also the keen commander of a very distinct 4th-World-meets-Industrial-German persuasion. We’re proud to have him on board.

Nr. 89: DJ Normal 4 (Aiwo Rec.)

Marcel Fengler | Mosaique

Loser Records starting into the new year with the 8th edition of our Loser Podcast series, inviting our good friends and well-known Berlin DJ duo Peak & Swift.

Peak's origins are unknown, though it has been said he may have been raised deep in the Brokeback Mountains of East-Saxonia, but this is all mere speculation. Maturing (or not) in the club/rave scene and quickly picking up the art of DJing at the tender age of fifteen, he has made a name for himself in this urban jungle we call Berlin. 

The Swift was brought up by a less than normal band of carnies in southern Germany and spent much of his childhood in such far off places as Istanbul and Kolkata. Swift was first spotted in the Berlin area around the year 2000,  when he teamed up with his partner in crime, Peak.
 
They quickly melted their musical interests of house, disco and deep and dubby techno into a powerhouse sound that's main mission was banish the cold, dark, "minimal" sounds of that era in Berlin and warm the city up to the current sound that has taken over now. The duo was seen ducking in and out of the shadows of Berlin's most infamous clubs, before they finally found they're home in the mysterious, Salon - Zur wilden Renate. 

Today, Peak now helms the responsibilities of head booker while The Swift takes care of the one-of-a-kind flyer art and bookings of his own while simultaneously banging out hot tracks every weekend as residents. Together they have helped Renate grow from a club in it's infancy to the world-renowned underground mecca it has become today, boasting incredible house, techno and disco lineups on a weekly basis, not to mention a series of open air events and many wild themed parties throughout the year. 

For those of you who don't know Peak and Swift yet, it might be best for you to hop a plane to Berlin and catch them in their element in Zur wilden Renate, you will surely not be disappointed. Also, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for releases from the label they recently formed, Renate Schallplatten!

For Loser Records, Peak & Swift put together this uplifiting, high energy mix, making the start into 2020 as pleasent as it could be.

Loser Podcast will be an ongoing series of Podcast of family, friends and artists we simply admire.
