As we are getting closer to our next label party at Berlin's most beloved (former) underground toilet "Zur Klappe", the timing could not be any better to give you some sneak peak of one of the artists you'll be able to hear on Feb 16th. Make sure to swing by and enjoy the sound of 11:68pm amongst others.

"11:68PM is a Berlin based musician, producer and DJ. He co-runs the label What If It Works, a freshly established outlet for electronic music and artistic expression. 

In his work he engages in electronic music in all its constancy and discontinuity. Driven by constantly changing realities of life, he finds his inspiration in dealing with these upheavals. How does one deal with them? At what point of change do you find yourself?  Depending on the perspective from which we look at these shifts, their shape changes."

We say thank you for this wonderful contribution to our podcast series and can't wait to see you behind the decks at our Useless party at Zur Klappe this Thursday.

„My head exploded and my mouth is dry"

For this podcast we are glad to interrupt our 4 weeks release cycle and divert from the musical genres you might expect from our podcast series. In order to serve you the perfect soundtrack for your revolutionary 1st of May in Berlin, we invited our good friend Neni, who recorded this 44-minute mix of the finest punk (rock). 

The tracks are not attributable to any specific era or subgenre, but are unified by disharmonic melodies, irreconcilable, angry voices, and driving, distorted guitar sounds that often end up in a single defragmentation.

We say thank you Neni for putting together this great mix and hope it gives you the right fuel for your revolutionary 1st of May.

As Berlin clubbers crawl out of hybernation and nature awakes from a seemingly endless winter season, we invite our buddy Max to take over April's epsiode of our podcast series.

Max is an established DJ, producer and mixing engineer based in Berlin. His minimalistic house style is deep and always dancefloor driven.

For Loser Records he recorded this hour long podcast that he frames with the following words: "This mix that takes you far out into the woods onto a glade. Sun is shimmering through the leaves, the last cloud fades away. People are dancing, cheering, and enjoying themselves. These minimalistic, rhythmic grooves create the soundscape that lets you dance into the sunset."

We say thank you to our friend Max for this wonderful podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

For this month's episode of our podcast series, we are thrilled to invite Berlin based talent Iron Curtis to serve you one hour of finest grooves. 

On the continent of electronic music, Johannes Paluka has travelled far and wide, collapsing musical boundaries with enviable ease. Under the moniker of Iron Curtis, the Berlin-based creates his complex, hauntingly beautiful productions from a range of eclectic styles and influences. Be it House, Acid or soulful Techno – his sound moves in the equilibrium of reduced, but never minimal. Flashes of kitsch brighten the dark universe of Iron Curtis, but fail to interfere with the melancholy subtext. As far as leftfield electronic music is concerned and as long as he sees a chance to break a few genre rules here or there, Iron Curtis is brimming with ideas.

Making his debut in 2008 with an EP on Hamburg’s beloved Mirau, he made even more good impressions that year with a contribution to the Deetron’s Fuse. Apart from releasing House on labels like Office, Retreat or Smallville, Paluka runs the project Achterbahn D'Amour with his longtime friend Jool aka Edit Piafra. Here, they focus on Acid-infused techno, electrifying audiences with their shows and releases on L.A.-based Acid Test imprint. His latest project is called Moon – a collaboration with Johannes Albert from Frank Music, where the two friends exhibit their love for classic Electro and stripped down Techno.

But wherever his musical interests take him, Iron Curtis will always be adding a little soul in his compositions. This is the magic thread that runs through all of his productions and it is what Iron Curtis transfers from his releases to his live gigs as well. As a DJ, he is as inspired and versatile as he is a producer, skilfully taking the dancefloor into the deep and diverse corners of modern dance music.

We say thank you for this wonderful contribution to our podcast series and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

As summer returns to Berlin from a break, we invite our good friend Amy to take over this month's episode of our podcast series and present you her first ever live set. 

"Meet Amerson Prime, an upcoming artist whose musical journey has taken her from her hometown in Indiana, USA, to the vibrant electronic music scene of Berlin. Amersons move to Berlin in 2015 opened the doors to a newfound fascination with electronic music.

In 2018, Amerson began learning the world of Ableton. She then began to develop her skills and style, and her dedication led to a few private live gigs and the independent release of several tracks. This year, Amerson decided to step up her game. She premiered her first track with Les Yeux Orange, and scored her first official gig in About Blank Berlin, which is where this set was recorded.

Her musical evolution has been captivating to witness. Transitioning from darker and melancholic tones, Amerson's style has gracefully shifted towards the realms of deep house. Her compositions seamlessly weave deep basslines, trancy pads, and acid-y synth sounds. The support and mentorship from her partner, Karlheinz, have  been instrumental in her growth, and together, they have plans for collaborative releases under the name Miamy Weiß. Amerson Prime is excited to continue her musical journey and share her sound on many stages to come."

We couldn't be more proud of our good friend Amy and hope you enjoy this special recording as much as we do.

As we step into the rhythm of 2024, Loser Records celebrates its 5th anniversary! Come join us for the kickoff of another year of our beloved Loser Podcast series and let Rosa Red help you transcend your winter blues and start into the new year with fresh energy. A perfect warmup for her upcoming appearance at Nachtiville Festival happening January 19th to 22nd at Weissenhäuser Strand.

Rosa Red's musical beginnings lie in the psychedelic and spherical niches of Rock as well as learning her craft by playing Bass and Singing in Post Punk and Shoegaze Bands.

Exploring what the music universe also had to offer, Rosa soon got immersed in the vast world of electronic music and found herself trading the bass guitar with turntables.

Fascinated by the variety of styles and possibilities, this newfound world had to offer, the Berlin based artist took her musical journey to House, Breakbeat and Rave euphoria, while sitting comfortably between genres. You can hear her broad range in her DJ sets (which made her a regular at Munich's super club Blitz and a staple in Berlin's nightlife circle) and in her productions. The logical progression from playing music to making music led Rosa to her first two EPs landing, both of which landed on planet Permanent Vacation, who share a tight bond and a musical vision with Rosa Red. 

Recently, she remixed Known Artists Hit ‚I Need‘ and released a Remix Version of her EP ‚Rhapsody‘ featuring Aldonna, Known Artist and Zombies in Miami. For this mix, she focused on the housy side of her collection.

We say thank you to Rosa Red for this wonderful podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

As Berliners enjoy their summer between lakes, open-airs and festivals, we explore one of our co-founders family origins and look towards east to invite someone who has made himself a name in the Polish club scene: Kovvalsky. 

Jędrzej Kowalczyk, also known as "Kovvalsky", is a DJ, promoter, radio host, artistic director and a resident of the Jasna 1 club in Warsaw. He has been active on the club scene from 2009 and has also been the driving force behind Jasna 1, which is one of the brightest and most important clubs on the Polish club scene. At Jasna, Kovvalsky has been solely responsible for club programming, where he did not cut corners and never settled for anything that was no in line with his vision for the club - as a result he was able to build a one of a kind club community, as well as a truly unique roster of resident DJs.

Outside of his work with Jasna 1, he has also been very prominent on the local Polish scene and has performed in most major clubs and festivals in the country. On top of it, he has also regularly played abroad in clubs such as: Berlin's Griessmuehle, RSO and //:about blank, Alphabet, Phi Garden in Tel Aviv, Ankali in Prague, Tempio Del Futuro in Milan, Le Bain in New York, Korner in Taipei, Lizdas in Kaunas, Ballesta in Madrid or Klub 20/44 in Belgrade. Kovvalsky can be characterized by a broad musical spectrum; from disco classics and italo experiments to house, electro, techno and songs that no one can expect. 

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that together with Pitti Schmitti, Kovvalsky has been running his own club night KOD (Disco Defence Committee), which quickly became one of the unmissable series on the Polish club scene. The main mission behind these nights is to offer something new and exciting to a scene overly saturated with generic techno.

We say thank you to Jędrzej for this wonderful podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

As we kick off 2025, we are thrilled to have Johanna Elias on board to serve you the perfect tunes to get through Berlin winter.

Johanna Elias (previously known as Janna N) is a Berlin based DJ, who has a background in production and sound design. Johanna has been consistently bringing her unique sound to the many clubs and venues of Berlin, as well as progressively more internationally. This past summer she performed in eight festivals around Germany, Austria, France, and Lithuania. Her sound can be hard to put into words - it's a blend of moods and emotions, blurring genres with a predominant house taste. Very much inspired by many years of afterhour culture, her sets can create a feeling of continuous flow, rolling over peaks and troughs of energy. For dancers, she likes to create a cocktail of deep, euphoric, bliss, sexy, and nostalgic dance music. 

For Loser Records, she recorded something similar to what she would play on a dancefloor, with a slower tempo, in hope it will serve listeners going through their days or late nights. It dives into strange corners, groovy house, and lots of acid. She describes it as one from her heart.

Johanna has previously performed for Loser Records this past October at our 5 year anniversary party in the Lighthouse Plötsensee, and will again be on the line up for our showcase at Renate this coming April.
