From Hamburg To Berlin

Peppering your summer with some heatwave-ready delicacies all set at melting your decks and woofers, here comes Kater Blau and Sisyphos affiliate vibist Benjamin Knows, a name who's been making waves in and around the big city and shall continue spreading around with viral impact. Championing a bountifully textured yet laser-precise strain of dub house, 'I Go (Crazy)' is proper incendiary material for the long, hot nights of boogie ahead of us. Drenched in heavily- processed layers of FX and playful tape-echo gone wild, Benjamin's debut incursion on UY flexes the kind of low-slung, elastic bounce, chopped-up vox slivers and bass-borne churn that promises to get dancers wading in an ocean floor of sweat. Rolling up his sleeves on remix duty, label co-head Marco Resmann dishes out his own irresistibly infectious take on the track, fleshing it out with a further syncopated swing, hi-octane punch and crisper-than-crisp drum programming, all coated with a thick gravy of machine filtering for good measure. Rounding off the package is a shortened tool version for those who really seek the quintessence of what Benji's new weapon can deliver to your door. Beware that highly volatile number.

Benjamin Knows - I Go Crazy

Obschon länger in Mainzer Gefilden beheimatet, fliegen der Raven und sein Kompagnon s.west meist unter dem Radar. Zusammen als Isotonic Groove lassen sie sich blaue Kaltgetränke schmecken und drehen die Teller wie Industriespülmaschinen. Mit ihrer gesunden Mischung aus House, Techno und Breaks gehören die beiden in der Dorett, im Off und im Schick mittlerweile zum Standardinventar.

as usual.music is focused on Techhouse and Minimal, with influences of multiform ranges in Techno and House music, such as Deeptech/Deephouse. Deeply groovin' cutting-edge sounds and crispy tight rhythms are basic to what makes it shakin' or bangin' – consequently, the demanding nature of our music is fundamentally made for having maximum aesthetics to please the dancefloors.

With no fear to break the rules at some point. It's represented by some of the most interesting artists in the underground music and club scene. We love to connect diverse aspects of creativity to having an intense excitement in projects and concepts. The result is a highly inspiring and perceptive state of quality dance music. Taking the challenge of the ongoing evolution in contemporary music industries and feeling the impulses of tomorrow are implanted genes of our beings.

Pulling out a finely engineered mix of funky bass chug and addictive soul sampling, Benjamin Knows goes all wavy and groovy on his latest for Upon You, 'The One and Only'. A helluva wonky, bouncy floor-focussed UFO - laser-guided for optimal crowd traction, 'The One And Only' finds the producer in peak form as he lays down an infectious slice of off-kilter house drip and bass-heavy jack, oozing both pure Chicagoan hedonism and an even nastier, jagged Detroit vibe out the city's house heyday. Overflowing with X-rated, Moodymann-esque va-va-voom, BK's new joint vouches for the man's wide palette and unhindered vista, unleashing incendiary levels of heat with each bar. DJ-friendly to the bone, 'TO&O' is house music at its most exhilaratingly fun and unabashedly rowdy, so better strap yourself in and enjoy the oh so hot 'n cheeky ride ahead for it's a sssssss-swelterin'. Massive treat.

Zum Electricity pylon

It is the year 2007.

Electronic music is more popular than ever, especially TechHouse is on a thriving uprise and Berlin already became the buzzing nightlife capital of the world it is known as today.

Amidst all these creative and musical vibes a new label is born -  Upon.You Records. Founded in February 2007 by DJ & producer Marco Resmann, with a first release under his moniker Phage on Martin Landsky's Intim Recordings as well as great success as one half of the infamous project Luna City Express under his belt, and electronic music veteran Hawks Grunert, formerly involved in running Timing Recordings with Tanith as well as working for legendary „Frontpage“ magazine, Upon.You Records was already widely recognized for its first release, Phage's „Vut & Vat EP“, and started to drive on the fast lane immediately.

Originally intended to be a platform for music from an inner circle of friends as well as for aspiring young talent it didn't take long until the label branched out in 2008 with first international signings,  various label tours all over the place and a first label compilation.

In 2009, after receiving massive support from nightlife heavyweights like Steve Bug, Brothers Vibe, Someone Else and many more, a cover story in German electronic music magazine GROOVE and with a catalogue of roughly twenty 12“ releases Upon.You launched two subdivisions - Upon.You Digital and the momentary Upon.You Sweet & Sour Series – and established a booking agency as well as regular label events at two of Berlin's most praised venues, Watergate Club and the infamous Panoramabar.

Furthermore Upon.You Records teamed up with Workaholics Berlin for the launch of a merchandising line in 2009, introducing the labels unique visual image to the world of street fashion.

With the launch of the annual label retro- / futurespective „Upon.You Diary“ and an expanded core artist family now including Marco Resmann, Martin Landsky, ONNO, Ruede Hagelstein, Gunnar Stiller, Magit Cacoon and The Cheapers alongside many others, 2010 finally paved the way for success and fruitful growth to come in consecutive years in which Upon.You became one of the leading labels in all things TechHouse and related.

And it was even the first issue „Upon.You Diary“ that awed the electronic world with Marco Resmann's widely praised tune „This Song“, immediately ruling every dancefloor after it was released and drawing even more attenttion towards the Berlin-based label which continued to expand its growing international network whilst signing releases by Quenum, Kink or the UK-based longtime ambassador Steve Lawler.

On a jam-packed schedule of about twenty releases per year lately, including Ruede Hagelstein's Beatport smash „Minus“, with label artists touring the globe frequently and armed with the brand new, 2014-launched UYX subdivision focusing on raw TechHouse and classic stamped whitelabel aesthetics, Upon.You has grown into a major force on the international electronic music circuit.

Always on the lookout for new talent and keen to explore new territories, the future looks brighter than ever for Upon.You after entering the longplay circuit with the widely acknowledged album debut of the former Tel Aviv- and now Berlin-based DJ / producer Magit Cacoon, another successful instalment of the „Upon.You Diary“-series and finally entering three digit realms with the release of Marco Resmann's extrordinary gold vinyl 12“  „100“ - the onehundredth Upon.You single release in the label history which was released in late 2015.

And things surely are about to be busier than ever for all members of the Upon.You camp over the course of 2016, celebrating the labels 8th anniversary with a dedicated series of label events all over Europe and special showcases at Sonar / Barcelona as well as ADE and, of course, a string of high quality releases for maximum dancefloor pleasure throughout this season and beyond. Watch out.
