We are Frankfurt… and we are „ STILL HERE “!

The 1995 launched Techno and House label founded by Toni Rios, Chris Liebing, Andre Walter and Tommy Bingel operated until 1999 before all four went their own ways.
In 2006 Toni Rios and Andre Walter reanimated the legendary label and amongst own releases they also opened their doors for aspiring artrist from the former Techno capital.
 
26 years after launching SOAP Records, Frankfurt is no longer home to a bunch of the most iconic clubs in Europe like it once was but the underground never slept. 
Under the polished facade of the financial metropolis there has always survived a vivid scene maintaining the old spirit.
 
In 2021 after a long pandemical dry spell Toni Rios decided to use his influence in order to unite forces and to bring Frankfurt back on track.
The compilation called " STILL HERE " showcases local artists such as Toni Rios & Ben Shine, Sascha Dive, Drag & Drop, Daniele Casa, Who Cares, Roomservice, TOSZ, Reiner Liwenc, November Reign, techMOUSE & Charles Silence, Le Jardin and proves that the central German city still offers international quality when it comes to electronic music.

Toni Rios now also offers in 2021 – the digital age makes it possible – a platform to the current atist and newly producers from Frankfurt. 
Just as 25 years ago when Toni Rios received small gigs arranged by other DJs, Toni now takes care himself of the new generation. The circle is therefore closed, with a new compilation on his own label Soap Records, followed by an extended collection of new associated EP´s. Let yourself be surprised.

Let Me See Ya (Samuele Scelfo Remix)

Following their breakout first release, "Let Me See Ya," which amassed over a million views on Instagram and won the support of notable DJs like Stacey Pullen, Mason Collective, Silvie Loto, Kidoo, Ruben Mandolini, and Perky Wires, My House Is Your House returns with a powerful second release: "Everybody's Pumpin."

Drag & Drop, the duo who launched their DJ/producer journey in 2012, have consistently proven their talent by reaching the top 100 charts and making waves with their unique, old-school-inspired yet forward-thinking sound. With releases on esteemed labels such as Bedrock, Avotre, and Deeperfect, their music has gained strong support from industry heavyweights like Sven Väth, Carl Cox, and Jamie Jones. This time, they deliver a main track that skillfully melds old-school house roots with the modern touches of minimal deep tech, pushing the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

The remix duties are in the hands of Gabriel Evoke, a master of groove who’s become known for his seamless Minimal Deep Tech productions and releases on well-respected labels such as Moan and Likeminded. For "Everybody’s Pumpin," he brings an elegant deep house interpretation with an edge of raw acid house, creating a remix that stands as both refined and intensely captivating.

With pre-orders on Beatport starting November 22, 2024, and the official release date on all platforms on December 6, My House Is Your House continues to build momentum with a sound and vision that promises to resonate far and wide.

PREMIERE: Drag & Drop - Do It Right [MyHouseIsYourHouse]

"Do It Right" once again showcases the artistic versatility and craftsmanship of Drag & Drop. The original mix blends modern Minimal-Deep-Tech sounds with warm pads and nostalgic vocals reminiscent of timeless classics like Todd Terry's remix of "Missing." Thoughtfully designed synthesizers create an infectious hook that captivates from the very first second.

For the remix, the renowned Milan-based duo Proudly People was brought on board. With their distinctive style, they have reinterpreted the original track, preserving its essence while stripping away the sweetness to craft a true dancefloor banger. The perfect balance of energy and style makes this remix a must-have for all lovers of the genre.

"Do It Right" is more than just another release on MHIYH — it’s another chapter in the story of Drag & Drop, who continue to push their vision of musical freedom forward with every track.

Drag & Drop - Do It Right (Proudly People Remix)

With their fourth EP on @myhouseisyourhouse_ffm , @draganddrop_official take us straight into the heart of early 2000s minimal sound—reinterpreted with a fresh, modern twist. “Discoball” is a journey through tight, hypnotic grooves, driven by a punchy kick drum and an offbeat bass that fuel the dancefloor with pure energy. Subtle mental elements in the background and an urban-style vocal add depth, making this track equally compelling for both club play and attentive listening.

Staying true to the label’s concept, the original is accompanied by a top-tier reinterpretation. This time, the remix duties are handled by the renowned @christian__burkhardt , who breaks conventions and pushes sonic boundaries. His version transforms the track into a stable yet dynamic piece with a hypnotic groove that transports the listener into an entirely new dimension.

Another release that reinforces the vision of My House Is Your House: uncompromising music, crafted by those who truly know their craft 🔥

Rework- Youre So Just Just - Christian Burkhardt Remix 128kb

Soap Records was launched in 1995 by the four friends Toni Rios, André Walter, Thomas Bingel & Chris Liebing, as the gentlemen could not find at that time an adequate label for their unpublished tracks. Up to approximately 1999 they published 12 maxis, amongst classical and US inspired house and gray zone, operated between house and techno. In today’s time this would surely be categorized as techno-house.

The project Soap Records rests after that, as all four went on their separate ways. Up to approximately 1999 they published 12 maxis. Soap was a part of UCMG Germany. After many years of successfully working on other projects, in 2006 Tony Rios & Andre Walter find together their way back to the studio.

This year the circle closes in. Tony Rios & Andre Walter have a finished longplayer ready, but similar to 13 years ago, no suitable label for their material. After nearly 10 years of sleeping beauty time, Soap Records is being re-animated by Toni Rios & André Walter in 2008. This time without Thomas Bingel and Chris Liebing, who are involved in other projects and naturally no longer participating.

Soap Records got new dedicated friends involved to the scenery, the music continues also on a digital label, to bring forward the thoughts and to take care of the heritage...

With new Artists and a new "Setup", Soap Records tries to enjoy their own artists and music lovers around the globe. The new concept, including the "Label-Showcases" with new Artists, reaches new banks and will hit in high waves.

Be prepared for essential electronic music, brought to you from the middle of Germany! Legends may sleep, but they will never die...
