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.

After a few years full of enthusiasm for electronic music, unofficial mix sessions, editing numerous playlists or producing my own edits and fine-tuning potential live DJ sets, I now dare to jump into the limelight as techMOUSE. With my music and track selection I want to reach the visitors of clubs, festivals and events in order to live out my passion in this way and share it with others. My sets move between Deep- and Techhouse and contain a high proportion of melody and varied grooves. So I always try to stand out from the crowd without losing sight of my audience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In December 2017 techMOUSE released his first single ''NOTE'' on the sub label Spinnin Records Talent Pool and won the DJ CONTEST of Penny & Parookaville & Spinnin Records and won against 2300 international participants!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Charles Silence is a DJ and producer based in Frankfurt, Germany, a vibrant city which is well-known for its electronic music artists, club scene and culture. His mission from the beginning was to break through musical conventions. Perhaps Charles’ open-minded attitude developed due to the reason that he received trumpet lessons in his youth. 

Whether he is producing deep or tech house, his passion for catchy melodies shines through. Together with techMOUSE, he recently contributed to the “Still Here” Compilation on Toni Rios’ label Soap Records. Charles’ DJ sets try to take the audience on a musical journey which leaves room for a sense of wonderment. Besides his residencies in the broader Frankfurt area, he regularly plays in other electronic music hubs such as Ibiza (e.g., Lolas Club, Calea Beach) and Dubai (e.g., Eve Penthouse & Lounge).

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...
