Mastra, Sirion Records long-time friend and at the same time Bernese veteran when it comes to electronic music in all its facets, is launching an extensive oeuvre consisting of three independent EP's. It forms a fusion between visual art in the form of cover artwork and musical creation. Mastra and the visual artist Johannes Luna had this fusion planned quite some time, but it took a clandestine meeting in a pub to seal the deal. They philosophized extensively about the connection between visual art and music. It is the abstraction in Mastra's music that inspired Johannes and ultimately flowed into his art to make this complete work possible. Musically, this project moves in deep and techhouse realms with influences from the genres of Dub, Funk and Soul, paired with the usual light-footedness from Mastra's production pool.

When Zurich's Mathias Makau recorded his first track on Playstation 1, releases on labels like Baroque or even his own label Elastic Trax were still pure wishful thinking.
Years have flown by since his first steps and we welcome him with his new EP Lion's Head on Sirion Records.
Minimal warm basslines, drums, percussion elements, synth surfaces and intelligently distributed accompaniment sounds, peppered with discreetly held vocals give the tracks organic warmth and a wonderful depth.
Besides the two original tunes, a dub mix and remixes by are:age and Nachtaktiv round off the package wonderfully.

spacebox720 has been immersed in analog created soundscapes for many years. Be it as a tinkerer as well as a live act. Whether ambient, dubby house stories or warm house sounds, the sound aesthetic and groove are always unmistakable.
With the three original tracks Rise up, Reflections and Perpetuum Mobile, Sandro Ambrosi ventures this time into the realms of classic Dubtechno. With a lot of flair, he manages to skillfully break up the structures of the genre with a lot of surface elements and infinite space.
With remixes from France's dubhouse/techno guarantor Upwellings, our longtime friend Pawas from Berlin, the super talented KlangDruide from Bern and Sirion's Nhoj Smada, the boundaries shift once again with additional genres.

Dutchman David Labeij is releasing his second EP on Sirion, after having already remixed Mike Machine's "Joker" on Sirion in 2011.
The two original tracks bear David's unique signature and skillfully move between deep, minimalist house landscapes, dubtechno and hypnotic synthesizer elements.
What starts off as classic dubtechno with the obligatory distinctive dub chords develops into an interesting potpourri served up with piano elements and synths over the course of the track "Rhea".
The funk-inspired bassline gives the deep house track "Daphnis" a solid foundation. Various hypnotic synthesizer elements and dubby stabs unfold their full potential over the course of the song and give it the typical Labeij attitude.
The different remixes were created by Quenum and Masaya from the French-speaking part of Switzerland. They are complemented by fitting interpretations from Mike Machine from Zurich and Sirion's Nhoj Smada.

After individual musical journeys as DJs, event organizers, and live acts, Andreas and Reto have united as Feature Complete. In their initial studio sessions, they're now blending their diverse musical influences into a cohesive sound.

The fruit of this collaboration is the "Trinity" EP, a perfect fit for Sirion Records.

Soul Lemon, the second track, immediately invites you to dance and immerse yourself with its warm kicks, solid basslines, and catchy synth lines. Kellerkind's remix elevates the original to a maintime level with its tribal framework and slightly darker synth elements.

The title track, Trinity, is more driving. While the bassline gently massages your stomach, the various virtuoso synth elements animate your arms and encourage uninhibited dancing. In contrast, Britta Arnold's interpretation of Trinity is more hypnotic, mysterious, and mythical.

Low Volume is a collaboration between two talented Indian born producers Pawas and Ambrish. The EP features three original tracks including remixes by Nhar and Mastra.

Look behind is a calm and melodic track that develops a wonderful drive with the help of the varied bassline, the acid-infused parts used coming across very playful.
Nhar's remix masterfully takes over the melodic elements of the original but catapults the track back into the eighties with the skillfully reinterpreted synth parts, the concise clap and the vocals.

The minimal house number Apache Gold impresses with its reduction paired with groovy-dubby bassline and a cleverly staged guitar hook.

Topsides, nevertheless more subtle, strings together sophisticated synth parts in a varied way and garnishes them with pads and funky-tinged synth elements.
Mastra's remix focuses more on the calm synth parts, which he uses more concisely and combines with additional rhythm elements.

Should we look back and bring something of the past back into the forefront of our mind?
We think yes!!!
Because Kellerkind's “Disco on the Dancefloor” remains to this day a huge milestone in Sirion Records discography and the original track is still 10 years later an absolute earworm.

Dedication, constant focus on music, care and respect for others, are attributes that continue to apply to Kellerkind and have moved us to a remake of this infamous title. 

As the title of the main track says, “Disco on the Dancefloor” with its groovy basses, poignant disco stabs is ideal for the dancefloor and still perfectly suited to inspire the masses. 

But Kellerkind doesn’t rest on the guaranteed success of the past, he immediately delivers a thriving remake that perfectly reflects his current musical taste. Percussive, hypnotic and an all-around successful job to dress the track in a new garb.

Fittingly, there are two remixes by 8 Bit labelhead Gorge and Bernese producer Youen, among others.
A housy framework paired with percussion, discoid bass line and the hypnotic synth surface in the usual Gorge manner, not only gets the legs bobbing and the head nodding, but animates to conquer the dance floor.
Youen's techhousy remix puts the focus more on kick and clap and therefore comes as a true stomper. Peppered with the discreetly used samples, this makes for a wonderfully danceable mix for peak time.

10 Years of “Disco on the Dancefloor” is therefore more current than ever and an absolute must in the record bag, either on vinyl or digitally.

Conceived as an album, Subculture by spacebox720 moves between neatly arranged soundscapes and classic dubhouse/techno of the noughties of this century. 
The boundless experience as a long-time sound designer and sound architect is paired here with a profound knowledge of analog equipment. 
The total 15 Tracks of the album reflect this experience and knowledge and let the listeners dive deep into this sound aesthetic. 
This can foreshadow a dystopian future, or an infinite space with countless possibilities can appear before the mind's eye.

spacebox720 - Storytelling

Good things come to those who wait. True to this phrase the joint project by Pablo Bolivar and Mastra aka Stefan Willenegger emerged after an extensive period of time. Nevertheless words were still rapidly followed by deeds. It’s the year 2012. Pablo was in Berne already for the second time to present his compositions as part of the Sirion Liaison at the Kapitel Bollwerk to an interested audience. Such opportunities are often ideal times for joint studio jam sessions – as was this visit. The meeting brought forth creative work between the two musicians, which they attemted to intensify. 
No sooner said than done - several exciting song sketches made their way back to the Iberian Peninsula. Influenced by interpersonal harmonies that were mutually understood as meaningful enrichment and ultimately extended to so much more than purely technical exchange.

The cooperation was not very effortless due to distance as well as visibly moving facets. Thus, the resulting songs are characterized by their sensual sound. Both men speak a very similar language, moreover, they are in their human nature like-minded people, which may explain the successful convergence in this conception. 
However, the abilities and characters of each artist are clearly evident in the songs. Two other Bernese musicians have additionally shaped the project. The guitarist Bernard Siffert and saxophonist Thomas Ott could specifically make their mark.

From today's perspective, the songs seem to have a timeless span and a style that can’t be clearly categorized. Fact is: Detailed and playful dance music for the sensitive and delicate nature, with a fresh summery touch! The four songs are ultimately found on two "dark" sides. Hard to tell them apart by eye, however, audibly varied in captivating differences - listen!

When Kellerkind published his first tracks on Sirion Records in 2008, nobody ever considered the success story of Marco Biagini's alter ego.
Eight years later he looks back on numerous releases, among others on Stil vor Talent, Flash, KaterMukke or Hive Audio. His record debut on Sirion in 2012 another breakthrough, with special mention required for the title song "Disco on the Dancefloor". It’s with this song that Kellerkind has definitely won the hearts of his audience and thus left a lasting aftertaste which continues until today.
His fourth EP on Sirion with the promising title "Way Out" builds up on the 2010 published Altro Mondo EP.
Three reduced Techhouse tracks promising pure dancefloor feeling with finely assorted forward directional sound elements and smooth deepness. The slightly hypnotic vocal smasher in Christian Nielsen Remix carries nicely with the three tracks in every way and completes the catalog number 42 elegantly.

Exactly two years after his first Sirion Release we proudly present MASTRA’s second 12“ titled
„Out of Nowhere“. This time around in collaboration with his buddy JON DONSON, who also
released his first EP on Sirion in Spring 2010.
The mood and structure of this latest coup entirely reflects the familiar yet different of the
Bernese natives MASTRA &amp; JON DONSON. For the first time in form of an exciting fusion of
individuals signed by both distinct handwritings.
„Out of Nowhere“ is a deep and, owing to a impulsive bass drum, repetitive Deep House
Track. This impression is given through a state of mind clearly offside of a classic course.
Nevertheless its bits and pieces remain stuck and arent easily banished.
PABLO BOLIVAR is known for his large spectrum of high quality compositions. Upholding that
standard he delights with yet another impressive interpretation. The subtly chosen synth
revive the base of the original track - an impulsive remix of vast variety.
The duo added another firecracker to this vinyl release with „Out of Pulpo“ and its distinctive
percussion and pressing sub bass. Perfectly suitable for the later advanced hours on the
dance floor and equally multifaceted as „Out of Nowhere“.
An original track apiece are the digital bonus. Let yourselves be surprised...

Sirion Records' 43rd release with the young Bernese artist S.Kull aka Sebastian Kull promises to be quite a spherical affair, including a grandiose remix of Jonas Saalbach. Further interpretations from the Greek Midnight Pulse and the Bernese Dj and producer Sképson elegantly round off the package.
S. Kull's original creates a bittersweet atmosphere, just with a few elements, located somewhere between space and time. Only the almost angelic voice and the lyrics of Evelina Lu takes you back to present reality.
Deeper, playful and absolutely morning-hour-perfect, the remix of Jonas Saalbach wraps itself over the original track and lends an earthy note without losing the original theme.
The two interpretations of Midnight Pulse and Sképson come even closer to the here and now. The supernatural soundscapes of the original, paired with groovy bass lines create an elegant transition to dancefloor-oriented exuberance.
Silence in between moving like music that I can read...

Total dedication to and a constant focus on music, caring for and respectful of others. These are the attributes best to describe Kellerkinds type. Nothing could be more beautiful than to realize a project in total harmony. 
It’s been a little over four years since Kellerkind released his first song to the public ear. Sirion Records gladly offered him the platform to do so then and achieved the project “Bergluft” together, which received massive credits worldwide. This was the kick-off to his music career and was followed by many releases on renowned labels such as Stil Vor Talent, Flash Rec. or Hive Audio. Nevertheless he remained active with Sirion Records as well through remixes for other projects or also with his own vinyl release “Altro Mondo”. 
The possibility to tell an extended story is the appeal of making an album for Kellerkind. This is his chance to introduce tracks that aren’t mainly focused on being „dance floor“ music. He integrates this quite aptly and constructively into the album. The rather simple track titles represent moving moments in his musical development. 
Starting off with a quite jazzy number he makes full circle back to his roots in disco on the dance floor. As the title of the main track says „Disco on the Dancefloor“ is ideally suited fort he dance floor with is groovy bass and poignant disco stabs, ready to thrill the masses. The rhythm and atmosphere of this song make summer approach just a little quicker. 
Continuing with „It’s Like“ – a rather raw number, shaped by its driving bass line, which takes the buildup of the album further and with its compelling vocals manages to contrast from classic deep- tech house songs. Kellerkind cranks it up with „Triple Distilled“  - organs, trumpets, flutes and synchs. A truly musical piece, destined to make you dance. „It’s 2AM“ keeps that pace of movement. The catchy voices add that something special to the song. „Backflash“ is next – this track also appeared on Kellerkinds recently released EP on Stil Vor Talent. Mighty sounds, staged dramatically – a perfect transition to „Play it Loud“. Kellerkind relies entirely on melodic bass line at the center of this track and its strong sub bass to pull you in. The precisely placed, bizarre vocal cuts maintain the songs diversity and tension. This is one not to be missed on the dance floor. Concluding the Album shouldn’t get your heart pumping, but rather melting into deeper, quieter tracks in which the artist takes us. The final track, the perfect ending to the album, is an incredibly melancholic chord sequence added to a cozy beat. Truly a successful, exciting, well told story. 
With their variations, the bonus tracks are an excellent addition to Kellerkinds signature style. None lesser than Channel X (Stil vor Talent), Animal Trainer (Stil vor Talent) and Jon Donson (Sirion Records) did the honors.

The «On the Road with Microcon» is the essence of a two-year history in the form of an album by Bernese producer Rafael Kasma. His music took on a new twist during this period - dry house tracks in Mountain People style, combined with breaks, acid, electro, and even pop-ish attitudes. One constant, however, remains with all the resulting songs: The monophonic synthesizer «Microcon», produced in the nineties.
This musical diary is complemented by interpretations by Youandewan, Adrian Bergmann and Kevin Villar.

On the Road with Microcon

The enormous variety of flora and fauna is predominant in nature, or there where humans go
to great lengths in creating something they can extract pleasure from.
It is with this kind of dedication to give full scope and exploration to unknown realms inside
his musical development that Jon Donson’s latest accomplishment can be described.
The main track blasts in full bloom to this effect right from the get go. Hypnotic advancement
is instantly bestowed through its sprouting shoots and essences within. Even with an overall
reduction both original songs transcend a summery ease in perfection. Incessantly we let the
rhythms and exquisite sounds carry us to where only natures pulse can caress us, protected
and safe, allowing picturesque associations freely.
Patrick Podage, a fellow studio mate contributes a fulminate and healthy secondary
interpretation of the main track. Arranging the instruments on higher frequencies, building
the frame and its distinctive structure to be emphasized by the ripe bass line is what makes
this track what it is. He incorporates the original sounds smartly, and creates tantalizing
variations with independent accents. Jon Donson delivers additionally a second original track,
called “You and Me” – nice and smooth as well.
The oeuvre elicits the pollen, the elixir of life from within – gliding and infecting minds and
souls heatedly. Satisfyingly we can confirm the emergence of the next generation in our
biosphere, so lets rave on...

The long awaited first part of our subversive Bernese fraction is finally here!

True to Sirion traditions this compilation contains Bernese artists only. An excellent overview
of the available potential – a healthy mix of familiar and never been there. It’s an exiting
project of bundling energy and using synergies. A main goal of this was a strong exchange
and collecting new experiences. And for a few artists this is the musical debut. A compilation
in album length represents electronic Sirion music in all it’s facets and comes full circle.

Already eagerly awaiting the second part which will be presented in early 2013 and holds big
promises.

The artist duo Sleek & Cheek only recently joined forces are Daniele und Luca, a.k.a. Little Lu of the Elektrostubete collective, who already had the opportunity to release his remix work on Sirion vinyl in 2011. The two Berne based artists focused more and more on making music together in the last years. A variety of diverse tracks were created. The songs on the upcoming EP are focused on contemporary dance floor. Quickly it’s clear, no prisoners, no compromise, strictly music. The overall structure is rather reduced nevertheless the tracks carry an incredible dynamic. Sure, sitting on a park bench… enjoying the carefree, straightforward fair weather music with a pinch of melancholy that touches the soul in an overall positive way – that too was intentional. 
Content wise the masterpiece is well rounded. Upon a first hearing the tracks even sound alike. But take a closer listen and find the various shapes and ways that revoke the first impression clearly. Subtle details appear and the classic DJ arrangements are set perfectly. 
East London based East End Dubs has contributed a powerful, mainly kick drum and sub bass focused remix of “Go Home”. The reduced sounds in the background give room to the main subject, in true EED style! Here too his own laws apply; superior reduced sounds with heavy compression – you can’t ask for a better way to be moved by true bass filled statures. The smiles on quivering lips in the faces are merely the icing at this point.
