Legowelt - Vaporware Tracks Vol. 1

Well, there you have it. 2015 hasn't even properly started yet but Legowelt is already rolling out his first solo release. With a bunch of Legowelt remixes, internet movies and a Order of the ShadowWolf cyberzine still needed to digest, the mighty Danny Wolfers from The Hague shows absolutely no signs of stopping yet. There have already been rumours of another possible Nacho Patrol album but ofcourse he wouldn't be Danny if he could not work on multiple projects at one time. This is one of the most hard-working electronic musicians we are talking about right here and it's good to see that he will return to the Creme Organization once again for his freshest 12" inch release.

Vaporware Tracks Vol. 1 will consist of four all-new and exclusive four-to-the-floor Legowelt tracks that are absolutely no exception to the producers overall sound. With 'Norwegian Crack Dealer' and 'Southwest British Airlines' on the A-side he adds two stunningly beautiful and colourful tracks to his amazing output. Hazy, trippy and hypnotic are the right words for these. But while the A-side clearly contains that unmistakable trademark Legowelt sound, it's actually the other side of the vinyl that delivers the ones for us.
'Satierian Moon Breeze' starts off with this completely steady and insane drum rhythm. It's sound is punchy and thunderous and extremely stimulating. Ofcourse lots of lush pads and saw wave arpeggio's are layered on top of it so that it successfully leads you to that other dimension. 'The Sea Is So Silent' takes you even further to a world that has a very futuristic and oriental feel to it. It builds even further upon that classic Legowelt palette and closes the release in a way that only Wolfers can do. It probably is our most favourite track from the single and certainly one of those instant Legowelt classics. With such a fine release coming up we can only hope that a volume 2 release will see the light of the day in a very near-future.

Creme Organization will release Vaporware Tracks Vol. 1 through Clone Distribution on black 12" inch vinyl somewhere in early February and can already be pre-ordered through the all-new Wichelroede web-shop that is now officially the place for Creme Organization releases. We are not sure about how many copies there will exist but if you are a true self-respecting space-age techno head you have already ordered your own physical copy.

Episode #059 - Albert X

It doesn't happen really often, that we consider a guest mix by a DJ or producer who's taste and style are heavily informed by modern deephouse and minimal techno. But for people like Albert X, we always like to make an exception.

Episode #038 - Akirahawks

Straight from the depths of the Lab.oratory. It's Akirahawks in the mix!

Akirahawks is a regular DJ in the Berlin scene. He's played practically every hotspot in the city, spreading thick sheets of intergalactic space funk over crowds in places like Tresor, the Panoramabar and the gritty rooms of About Blank. Most people outside of the German city don't know about him, as he likes to operate in the proper territories of the underground, but the real insiders know what this man is all about!
What people also don't know is that he is the man behind the brilliant House Mannequin imprint. Though it's catalog doesn't expand as fast as most labels do, it does have an excellent quality to it that is rare to find these days and although his releases are very limited, the label has enjoyed major support from true legends like Theo Parrish and Eric Duncan. It's releases are known for it's raw house and deep soulful disco sounds and are definetly reflective of Akira's taste and the kind of records he selects when he is playing out.

This deathmetaldiscomix is a perfect example of an Akirahawks set. With his eclectic taste and knowledge, you'll never know what he's up to next and we absolutely advise you to check him out once your visiting Berlin. He mostly plays party's with unannounced line-ups, but ask a few locals and they will probably know where he'll be spinning his amazing tunes over the weekend.
For now, enjoy this amazing new guest mix by Akirahawks and don't forget to check out the links below!

Episode #032 - Melon

We are really honored to have another artist from our home turf again, Deathmetaldiscoclub is proud to present the sound of Jeroen Hofer aka Melon! Melon has been really active as a house DJ over the last decades, this guy truly is one of the finest ambassadors when it comes to the soulful sounds from the Dutch Westcoast..
He's played Cielo, he's played the Cookies Club. He has played the Panorama Bar and practically every renowned club worldwide and currently holds a residency at the infamous Trouw with his Ratio? evenings.

His Ratio? events started somewhere around 2006/2007, and he's hosted a succesful series of Ratio? evenings at the now defunct, but legendary Club 11. As the events stood the test of time, Trouw was a logical choice for it's 2nd run of events, introducing and inviting a lot of international acts like Doc Martin, Willie Graff, Soul Clap, Henrik Schwarz and Nicolaas Jaar.
It's success would eventually ignite him to release his own records through his own imprint, but also as Je Dàvu on labels like Bangbang! and Platzhirsch Schallplatten. Although it was a little bit quiet on the production side due to family extension, he did just release another single during the ADE called 'I'm Back' on Raw Meat, and the two-tracker is a total house/disco banger, definetly worth checking out!

We are also really happy to announce that Melon has some new cuts coming up in a near-future. First of all, he'll be releasing two remixes, one on Nuno Dos Santos' SoHaSo label, and one for an upcoming Eric D. Clark project for Hotel Shanghai.
He's also got an EP coming up on San Proper's already amazing Proper's Cult label and one on Tom Trago's Voyage Direct. Both to be distributed by Rush Hour. He also revealed that there are new Melon cuts in line for future Ratio? releases, so there's reason enough to keep an eye on this man.

For the Deathmetaldiscoclub series, he decided to deliver an exclusive early house mix. It's the perfect retrospective in celebration to 25 years of house music in Holland. He included a short message with his submission stating: 'Although some of these tracks were produced more than 25 years ago, I still find myself playing these tracks in clubs worldwide. No matter how hard people are trying to change the rules in house music nowadays, there's some kind of formula in these tracks that are essential to house music.'

With the closing of Trouw in mind (the temporary club is closing at the end of 2014), Melon promised us that he will be working on a big series of Ratio? events, to celebrate the existence of it's current base. We were really happy to find out that he's bringing one of our favourites over to Trouw for it's next event November 22nd, Eric Duncan!! This New York city-original is releasing a huge batch of monster jams right now, and we cannot even imagine what kind of dream team this will be. Definetly a must-go!

Amongst releasing a vast body of work, DJ Kaos also found the time to launch his very own imprint in 2010, called Jolly Jams. Jolly Jams has been all about, steady, groovin' house cuts.
