After releasing Mr. Morek’s successful „Immunity“ EP, Soulfooled follows up with the next bunch of stunning peak time weapons, introducing Turkish DJ and producer Mathias Winnfield to the camp.

The EP is opened with ‚Enthalpy’. As the word (Enthalpy) in physics describe an undefined amount through pressure generated heat, this track holds what it stands for. A dreamy track constantly building up tension, with massive breaks that will guarantee the release of heat on every dance floor.

When Mathias started to produce ‚Dance without Spirit’ his aim was to find a good equivalent to the opening track of this EP. Moving baseline's and agile melodies builds the foundation of this track like in Enthalpy, though the mood has a bit of a darker vibe.

The EP is closed with ‚Less is Less’. A tune made of solid drums and bizar sounds, like a sympathetic nightmare. Combined powerful beats, it brings a perfect end to this EP as well as for a great night on the dance floor.

Mathias Winnfield - Enthalpy

After releasing Mathias Winnfield's Enthalpy EP, Soulfooled follows up with the next bunch of stunning peak time weapons by rising DJs Surfface, who have recently released on Damon Jee's ,Dust & Blood' and JEAHMON!
The EP is opened with "Nova Astra". Sounds of the OB6 and Prophet 10 Synthesizer guide the heme, which was inspired by the futuristic sound of "Blade Runner.
During the time of pandemic, when not much was happening in the club industry, Surface still looked optimistic into the future. With that in mind, keeping their productivity high. „Innerstellar“ was written in the same moment. Dark trombones, uprising synth lines and driving beats, make this tune an absolute peak time weapon.
The EP is closed with „Polaris". A track that comes along a bit more euphoric and emotional than the other tracks from this EP. Kind of like when the sun rises through the windows after a long night in a dark club. Modern Indie Dance at it's best!
We hope you like it!

Following up on Drubon’s well received „Snareman“ EP, Indonesian Cyda comes up with a non-less impressive EP.  
„Space Energy“ is the name of the debut EP of the award winning producer on Soulfooled. 
 
The title song “Dark Energy” was inspired by watching the 80s anime film “Gundam”. When he heard the Italo/synth influnced movie soundtrack, the idea for it fastly shaped in his head. Out came a modern Italo inspired dance floor weapon. 
Driving bass line, warped chords & dreamy arpeggiators, sounding like a journey through space. How fitting that ‚Hoag’s stuff‘ was inspired by a dreamy moment of Cyda watching the star-filled sky from his window, fantasizing about the life beyond earth. Buckle your belt and let the flight begin!
The EP is closed with - how can it be different? - a tune that he produced after watching the 80s cartoon called "Space Adventure“, that contained a lot of new wave sounds and 80s synth instruments. „In short: I always watch 80s movies that ‚smell’ like outer space to make music“, Cyda resumes...  ‚Space In Your Eyes’ could easily described as the second ‚A-Side‘ here and is rounding up this EP properly.  
 
We hope you enjoy the space travel as much as we do!

Following up on FAR&HIGH’s well received „Asperatus“ EP, Drubon follow up with a non-less impressive EP called „Snareman“ The fresh duo from Kharkov deliver a smashing 4 track EP including a remix from Diynamic’s very own Andy Bros.
 This release was born at the peak of isolation. During this difficult period, "our tracks were created to convey the rhythms of joy and sincere kindness in everyone's heart.“ Drubon say. „But it was also a total experiment“. A successful one! All tracks were created on a positive note - cheerful, optimistic, energetically powerful. 

"Snareman" is a bass and arpeggio dominated driver that rolls along until it’s dropping in a massive melodic break, but grooving not less effective after.  On "Silhouette" vocals were driven through the vocoder, while punchy kick and swinging percussion bring on a steady groove. The energy will catch you immediatly. 
"Rabbit" sounds sharp riveted, but has a lovely melody that is accompanied by an obsessive, octave-hopping bass - like an elusive rabbit!  Andy bros re-interprets the „Rabbit“ in a less jumping but not less flowing version. His Dark Side Remix is filled with a dark love pitched voice and synth, while a catchy beat also sometimes drives his version  back into „light“ in form of the strings highlights that are followed by 80ies inspired synth chords.

We hope you enjoy!

Following up on Florian Kruse & blaktone’s Ursa Major, Far&High hailing from Saint Petersburg with „Asperatus“.  
The Russian duo receiving massive support from no one less than Solomun himself, having released on Dynamic and Eclectic Tel Aviv label „Blue Shadow“ deliver an energetic 2 tracker with a remix from Tim Engelhardt.
 
Asperatus, named after the a cloud formation, which translates approximately as „roughness“, holds what the name stands for. A powerful and strong tune coming along like a storm mixing the best of Melodic House/Techno and Indie Dance. 
Endless isn’t less powerful, Though bit more stripped back. The track’s attempt to combine a classic disco house sounds with a retro futuristic electro funk. The lyrical idea transports the message that „personal freedom can be achieved with a balance of life experience and hopes for the future“, Far and High say. 
 
Tim Engelhardt, known for releases on Watergate, Poker Flat & Stil vor Talent, gives „Endless“ a bit of different tweak. Groovy, latin inspired beats, a hypnotic melody and a super emotional break let you fall in love and trance at the same time. Definitely a masterclass tune from the young gun for memorable sunrise or sunset moments.

After kicking off the new year with an EP by the duo „Aliot & Bunbeck“, the second EP comes from a Russian DJ & Producer „Mr Morek“. 
Already having released on „Sincopat“ & „Moscoman’s“ „Disco Halal“, he’s no stranger to the electronic music scene anymore and we are happy to welcome him with his debut on SOULFOOLED. 
The EP is opened with a track called „Immunity“. A word that, these days finds a lot of attention in different political sections - so also the track breaks through any walls and barriers of genres and stereotypes.
On the second track „you can hear a lot of different fractions of electro house and melodic techno.“, claims Morek. „For me, this is something new and therefore I decided to call it „Ampere House“.
To finish off the EP, Mr Morek has chosen to write something more mysterious & magical. „Arcanum“ sticks to it, though not losing any from of energy, that has been built up through out the entire EP.

Soulfooled Podcast 029 by Nick Warren

Soulfooled, lovingly curated since its inception in 2010 by German producer Alex Niggemann, has established itself as a crucial platform for fresh talent, focused on sonic innovation that is unfailingly fresh and original, with its own distinctive brand of music. The label’s next exciting musical instalment is the debut EP from two long-standing friends and creative collaborators, namely Daso Franke and Pawas Gupta (aka Daso & Pawas). This Indian ex-pat duo (based in Germany), combine their cool melodic touch and understated rhythmic sen- sibilities into a very original and appealing formula.

‘No Lead’ builds on an infectious, brooding, hip- swinging rhythmic backbone, laying firm foundations to unleash a dynamic acidic ball of energy onto the dance- floor. Simply stunning! Meanwhile, the understated, menacing darkness of the intro to ‘Decide’ develops seamlessly into an irresistible, sophisticated, bouncing percussive groove with perfectly arranged, deeply delicious, melodic flourishes. Completing the package, Chymera remixes the stunning ‘No Lead’ to perfection. The Berlin-based Irish ex-pat unleashes an awesome display of creative genius as he builds his buzzing, anthemic rollercoaster ride of a remix to round off this Daso & Pawas musical masterclass in style.

Daso Franke was born in Poona (India) and at the
age of five was using the dance floor of his father’s disco as a playground, growing up with the music of Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix and radio pop. Now, living in Berlin, this multi-talented music producer, live act and party machine, is one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent times into the global arena of the electronic music circus. Pawas Gupta’s music and creative drive resonates with his journey from his early days as a DJ in India to becoming an independent producer based in Cologne. From his classical roots in tabla and percussion, to his deep, Detroit-influenced sounds, Pawas has carved his own distinctive niche - a space where melodies, musicianship and atmospheric sounds fuse perfectly.

To kick-off 2016 in style, Daso & Pawas are dropping their stunning debut EP on Alex Niggemann’s Soulfooled – two artists and one label to keep your eye on this year, for sure!

“The only escape from the miseries of life is music” - Albert Einstein
Soulfooled, lovingly curated since its inception in 2010 by the outstanding German producer & DJ, Alex Niggemann, has steadily established itself as a crucial platform for fresh talent. The label’s focus is always on sonic innovation and search- ing out unfailingly original musical gems, and, in the process, developing its own distinctive brand of music.
Alex Niggemann’s impressive A&R skills were once again highlighted when Dresden’s enigmatic Felkon, released his excellent, mind-bending debut track (“Creixell”) on last sum- mer’s “Soulfooled Cribs Vol.2 EP” (the second instalment of the exciting format that brings the ever-evolving Soulfooled family together). The resulting furore has now led to Felkon returning with a trio of absolutely stunning creations for his “Cry Wolf” EP.
The pulsating, infectiously percussive “Cry Wolf” opens pro- ceedings, layered with super-seductive ebbing and  owing melodic waves, and building towards a plateau of beauti- fully subtle, scarily spooky energy. Meanwhile, the equally engrossing “Eos” has its own distinct identity, pirouetting majestically around another masterclass of subtle, melodic, rhythmic beauty.
“Selene” expands the theme of melody within rhythm even further, with its gorgeous, heart-melting motifs. A wonderful hint of melancholic re ection, serves to create an atmosphere for the track that renders it in one’s subconscious way after its  nal notes have faded from the speakers.
As a teenager Felkon got his  rst experience of being on stage with “Die Pilger”, a fun punk band from his hometown of Dresden, Germany. After the band broke up in 2010, he took his  rst steps into the world of producing electronic music, a process that has evolved to now also playing live sets and DJ sets throughout Europe. Having previously released the “Sunset Stories EP” (Blossom Kollektiv) and the aforementioned “Creixell” (Soulfooled), his new “Cry Wolf” will surely mark Felkon out as major new talent to watch
out for throughout 2016 and beyond, proving what a great discovery he is.
With an ever-growing family of superb artists in their “crib” and stunning releases like this on the agenda, Soulfooled continues to grow into one of the  nest labels around.

Since its launch in 2010, Soulfooled has been lovingly curated by Alex Niggemann and has steadily established itself as a crucial platform for exciting, fresh talent. The label’s focus is always on sonic innovation and searching out unfailingly original musical gems, and, in the process, developing its own distinctive brand of music.

With a deep love for classic analogue sounds, merged with the limitless palette of possibilities afforded by modern music-making technology, DJ/producer Kris Davies utilises his meticulous production skills and a flair for crafting distinctive, intricate soundscapes, to stamp an emotional ambient mark on all his tracks and mixes. Now, he is set for his debut single release with the ever-evolving Soulfooled family, with two exceptionally creative tracks. 

An instantly infectious, hip-swinging rhythmic backbone means “Aura” wastes no time before launching into a breath-taking display of creative genius, as it builds layers of melodic motifs, juxtaposed synth lines and flourishes to make it an irresistible musical delight – visualise a dynamic 121bpm ball of energy, pirouetting majestically around the dancefloor.

The subtle, percussive ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ with its wonderful hint of melancholic reflection, serves to create a distinctly different, but no less enthralling atmosphere, showing another side of Kris Davis’ standout inventiveness. Layered with a wondrous, seductive ebb and flow of melodic waves, ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ is a supremely emotive piece to round off this musical master class in style.

Since the release of his first ‘Closer’ EP on Subjekt Recordings in 2014, Kris has been steadily gaining respect on the underground circuit with his unique emotive style. His subsequent remix of Affect! ‘Akaria’ (Save Us), ‘Relentless’ (with Yost and released on Just Her’s Constant Circles label), an EP on Christian Loffler’s well-respected Young Alaska imprint, and recent outings on Crossfrontier Audio, Suara and Parquet Recording (amongst others), have continued to raise the creative bar and mark Kris Davis as an artist to keep an eye on. With summer residencies coming up for Avant Garde & We Concur in London and Paris, now is the time to check him out.

You don’t have to be a child to get excited about birthdays. We at Souldfooled HQ can barely contain our excitement as we draw closer and closer to turning 2.

Soulfooled - founded in 2010 by Alex Niggemann and Superlounge - celebrates its jubilee! 2 years of great work with our beloved label-artists, fruitful collaborations, successfull releases, memorable label showcases. What’s more, we are extremely pleased to see a young label can do so well. To say thank you and mark this joyous occassion, we are releasing a very special two-part package: ‘The Soulfooled 2nd Anniversary Remixes’.

Part 2 features tracks & remixes by Francys, Smash TV, Victor Stancov, Balcazar & Sordo, Re.You, TJ Kong, Rodriguez Jr. and Betoko. Enjoy!

Smash TV - Chrystal Moth (Rodriguez Jr. Remix)

Soulfooled’s upcoming release ‘Venus Rising’ hails all the way from Miami. Russian producer Kate Ozz has submerged herself in the sunny club circuit of Florida’s most buzzing town, where her fine musical skillset did not go unnoticed by some established players like Solomun and Black Coffee. Kate produced a solid melodic house record with three originals and an Ivory remix. 
Title track ‘Venus’ is a musing track, which heavily leans on rich bass synths. The tune surprises when an agitated, urgent female voice enters the stage. 
To add a different perspective to the record, Soulfooled invited Ivory to rework ‘Venus’. The Italian DJ has made a good name for himself, having his most recent releases played in almost every set of Dixon or Solomun lately. In Ivory’s remix of ‘Venus’ (90’s Revenge) we still hear the voice, but Kate’s bass soundscape is gone. Ivory did add a fresh, uplifting key part, which reminds you immediately of a distinctive 90’s sound.  
‘Transformation’ builds on the Venuses’ energies, kicking off with a rich sound in the low regions. The track evolves towards a characteristic piece with intensive hovering synths that enter and leave the song at their own pace. 
Kate’s EP ‘Venus Rising’ closes with ‘High Vibrations’, is a slow burner, keeping the soundscape fairly minimal. However, the track builds to be a sweet melodic classic to nicely wrap up the record.
Altogether ‘Venus Rising’ is a strong pack from Soulfooled camp.
