In the world of electronic music, 15 years is a bloody near eternity. And it’s exactly how long Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq have been exploring their vinyl passion and the art of intricate deejaying. Time, however, is a relative matter. Because elegant and raw club music is never going out of fashion. Which one can also learn from Schubaq & Verveine’s brand new label Tardis, it’s name meaning “time and relative dimensions in space". As producers, the two artists have joined forces for their debut EP: The choo-choo curves of “Ness” will undoubtedly bring the steamy heat to many dancefloors, while “Züri Dub” has already been turning heads via Eli Verveine’ s recent podcast for RA: Here, Schubaq & Verveine dive deep into a stripped down groover. You need more? Let yourself go in the chasmic looseness of “Spencer F.Byrd".

Berlin/Zurich based label Tardis is back, enthusiastically dancing out of the studio into the dawn of a much wished-for summer. For their second release, Tardis has enlisted Paul Mac aka Jorge Zamacona who hoists in not one but three rough house killers. Picking up the trail he left fifteen years ago on his "Mosaic Efforts" mini-series for Steve O'Sullivan's Mosaic label, the veteran producer portrays dazzling acumen: Bursting with the sheer power of clever drum programming, "Cut Twice" is an offering that will make people lose their heads on dancefloors: Jagged, massive, irresistible. "The Mood" ventures into deep, silky house territories, while "Stacked Team"  delivers another burning cut of dancefloor-euphoria: House! A time capsule in his own right, this EP is still firmly embedded in the now: produced in 2013.

Tardis strikes back, straight out of their intricate space-time-continuum: Here, label co-honcho Oscar Schubaq delivers a tour de force of the first order. On his first solo EP after the well-received collaboration with Eli Verveine on TAR001, which has been recently repressed, Schubaq betrays his respectful mastery of the classic tropes of house and techno. The main cut “Take It” is direct and to the point, pushing onward and onward with a graceful relentlessness. Ethereal dub textures and curious string harmonies mingle with vocal harmonics. Then there’s “Exposition” which does exactly as it should: Straightforward, contemporary house that honours it’s roots.Finishing the EP with “Triade", a dark ambient journey based on the core of extreme timestreched vocal drones and organic scapes, Tardis once again shows that it´s not only about music for the dancefloor.

If nothing else, Tardis Records is a vessel of friendship: a place where joint passions thrive. Thusly, Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq have asked DJ Jes from Chicago to perform his West Coast-inflected house magic. The fourth release on the Zurich/Berlin based label embodies a unique style all Jes’ own: There’s that mesmerizing, dubby and tribalistic disposition, chromatic and slightly outside the box. Propelled by whipping drums and twisted moods, opener “Closer to Freedom” proves to be an irresistible and cleverly-conceived shaker. “Echoes” delves into acoustic space-time and dribbles by way of percussive straightforwardness. Last but not least, there’s that house tool called “Difficult": a metallically clad and sharply hissing bass-monster, briefly steering into a save haven of jazzy chords. Three pieces to sweep you off your feet: thank you DJ Jes!.

LOSOUL - soda island [TAR006]
Releasedate: 08.09.2016

For the sixth release on Tardis Records, label owners Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq proudly present two tracks from the personal archives of Peter Kremeier a.k.a. Losoul, a man who has been rocking dancefloors and enchanting listeners with his uniquely abstract and tripped-out take on minimal house for two decades and counting. On the A-side, “Soda Island” hangs cut-up vocal stabs over the last word in bone-dry, bass-heavy grooves. “Sparkling Please” on the flip starts out cheerfully but then subtly mutates into spooked insectoid psychedelia anchored by crisp percussion and bass. Drop either of these cuts at the right moment and watch the dancers lose their minds! Mastered and cut by Stefan Betke at Scape Mastering.

A - Soda Island

B - Sparkling Please

Tardis Records are delighted to welcome UK tech-house hero Flow to the Tardis Records stable for their eighth release. The three tracks making up the Trine EP were recorded together with Simon Moorecroft (a.k.a. Simon Vinyl Junkie) around the time of his first vinyl releases back in 1996-1997. All three tracks sound completely contemporary whilst having more than enough old school flavour to give flashbacks to any 90's ravers. Lead track 'Boy Girl Action' has skipping, garage-influenced beats with rolling bass and swirling atmospherics, whilst a breakbeat, vocals and a stabby intro give 'Trine' on the flip a more ravey feel. Closing out the EP, 'I See You' is the dubbiest cut here, with another heavy bassline, cut-up vocals,and subtly swung percussion. Eli and Oscar have loved testing these tracks out on the road and can vouch for their impact on a peak-time dancefloor!

B2 - I See You

B1 - Trine

A - Boy Girl Action
