Real drums and electric guitars on a ravey techno track? That is indeed what our ears heard the day we entered Berlin’s Ivory Tower studios to check what French sound fundamentalist Reynold and Sicilian talent Giovanni Verga had been preparing for a vinyl release with us.

As risky and untrendy as it may sound, if our label has grown to a teenager with 16 releases it’s because some people out there seem to be sharing our vision regarding our four-to-the floor musical values. That was the case recently with San Francisco’s Alland Byallo for our last vinyl release and now we start this agitated though exciting 2012 with Reynold, whose work managing Trenton Records is a credit to the whole electronic music community, producing some of the (for us) more creative and original tracks during the last decade.

For this release the new duo plays every note and rhythm on real instruments giving us the experience of actually having a rock band playing some techno for us here in Raveland: drums, guitars, bass, keyboards…The result is a tremendously intense ‘detroitish’ piece that should take the crowd up to that ‘into the bone’ (or maybe ‘into the soul’) moment. A track that, injected into the right ‘space/time coordinates’, will definitely make the difference, even in the years to come. For the creative B2 cut on the flip side, the guys took a flight to the warmer lands of Jamaica with their ‘Freaky Leaks’. With this brilliant set of organic sounds they bring the real DUB thing back, presumably finding Jamaica as the perfect place for those early, or in between, downbeat hours. WE LIKE. And no worries, fans of the well-rounded vinyl track lists as we are, we didn’t forget to come back from all these sound escapes with a return flight captained by label manager Fernando Daxta, who provides a deep club tool, warm-up orientated remix to 'Into the Bone'.

That’s all folks, we hope you are doing your homework for 2012 and we salute you with our usual greetings.  Viel Spass!

REMEMBER 2006 - 2013 ---

Whereas some labels define themselves by continually releasing a particular sound, Sirius Pandi Label's modus operandi holds no allegiance to any specific style, instead emphasizing artistic freedom for each respective producer – the space between each beat is seen as an open field with infinite creative possibilities. Words like “techno”, “house”, "minimal", "disco", "electro"... are simply reference points, not strict rules. 

Our “Pandi” ( diminutive for 'Pandilla' ) puts out music that’s both imaginative and club-functional, trying not to take ourselves too “Sirius”ly – and neither do our zoological cartoon mascots crawling and flying across the label's artwork. Our tagline “Petit Label Sympa” reflects a nonchalance, pleasant and amusing attitude that we try to keep in music...and in life!

From current Berlin basement, but previously from Brussels and Toulouse, our Vinyls 12”s and Digital EPs focus on like-minded artists and friends, together with premium contributions from supporting players like Seuil, Dachshund, Xpansul, Alland Byallo, Mr. Statik or Mathias Mesteño, all representing our philosophy of aural exploration.

So if you’re a Sirius dance music lover with a carefree attitude, join the Pandi !!
