Press Info:
Killekill catalogue number 025 is a jubilee release: It’s KILLEKILL MEGAHITS II !!

But it’s not only a jubilee release. It’s also milestone and turning point in the Killekill history, because with this release Killekill closes one chapter, and opens up another.

We are constantly getting too many demos full with good music in way too many different styles to squeeze them onto one label. So finally we have come to the point where we will start a line of new labels with different profiles to give ourselves the opportunity to feature even more daring artists and release whatever we like in the most suitable outfit for it.

So far, there is this compilation, which has been carefully compiled for your pleasure. Label regulars such as Cassegrain & Tin Man, Furfriend, Alex Cortex or Eomac have delivered high quality stuff of all kinds, but we are also introducing a lot of artists who will feature on the coming labels:
Umwelt with his epic and dramatic electro, who will release an album with us later in 2016, Dez Williams with his genre-crossing sound which works on every dance floor plus Power Vacuum’s Bintus who delivers his portion of electro/acid madness on Record 1.

Record 2 features the legendary Detroit Grand Pubahs, who present their electro outfit Techmarine Bottom Feeders, The Fool’s Stone, which is a new project by Hard Ton, electro legend Adriano Canzian and Italian queer artist Brigida plus London’s underground hero Jerome Hill, who lets it jack and roll with his ‘Memory Machine’.

On Record 3 Kamikaze Space Programme surprises with some bell-driven percussive techno and what can we say? It is with great pride that we include the acid techno epos by none other than the legendary ‘Prince of Techno’ Blake Baxter.

This compilation is a trip through a big musical universe.

Amen & Goodbye

Press Info (English):
We are ecstatic to announce that Amen & Goodbye, the fourth studio album from Brooklyn-based band Yeasayer, will be released worldwide via Mute on 1 April 2016.

Yeasayer offer a peek into the world of Amen & Goodbye with ‘I Am Chemistry’, the first track to be heard from their highly anticipated forthcoming album. Featuring guest vocals from the legendary folk singer Suzzy Roche of The Roches, ‘I Am Chemistry’ is a linear psychedelic journey proving

To visually interpret the album, Yeasayer collaborated with renowned sculptor David Altmejd (whose artwork is a major influence on the band) to create the gatefold artwork. The teasers released prior to ‘I Am Chemistry’ contained some of the sculptures Altmejd created while listening to the bands new album. This was a dream come true for the band and the full artwork is utterly spectacular.

Melding the song and vision of Yeasayer and Altmejd, director group New Team Ltd have created the music video for ‘I Am Chemistry’. Yes, it’s as odd and fantastic as you’d expect from a Yeasayer music video: a cosmonaut giving birth, dancing statue children, landscapes strewn with disfigured monuments, poisonous pod plants, and neon caves.

Amen & Goodbye is the follow up to 2012’s Fragrant World. Moving away from a digital-heavy approach, Yeasayer recorded Amen & Goodbye to tape at Outlier Inn Studio in upstate New York, then brought on board Joey Waronker (drummer – Atoms For Peace / Beck) to deconstruct everything to make the final document.

Amen & Goodbye features Yeasayer’s trademark sound without sounding like anything the band has done before. They have created a collection of strange fables from the Bible of a universe that does not yet exist.

Press Info (German):
Wir freuen uns sehr, die Veröffentlichung des vierten Studioalbums der Brooklyner Band Yeasayer ankündigen zu dürfen. Amen & Goodbye erscheint am 01. April weltweit über Mute.

Amen & Goodbye ist das Nachfolgealbum zum 2012er Werk Fragrant World – den digitalen Ansatz des letzten Werkes hinter sich lassend, wurde das neue Album im Outlier Inn Studio in Upstate New York auf Tape aufgenommen, um es dann von Joey Waronker (Schlagzeug bei Atoms For Peace / Beck) dekonstruieren und erneut zusammensetzen zu lassen.

Und so klingt Amen & Goodbye zugleich nach Yeasayer und nach nichts, was Yeassayer je gemacht haben. Und nach einer Sammlung seltsamer Fabeln aus der Bibel eines Universums, das noch nicht existiert.

Für das Album Artwork arbeiteten Yeasayer diesmal mit dem von ihnen lang verehrten Bildhauer David Altmejd zusammen – die von der Band bereits veröffentlichten kurzen Teaser zeigen Skulpturen, die Altmejd zur Musik des neuen Albums schuf:

Press Info:
We dance and prosper, repeatedly creating an incomparable atmosphere.

This time we hit the Arena Club to once again lose ourselves together with you to massive and diverse Techno grooves.

Coming over from France to Stützpunkt is Silent Steps Label Head Octave. Playing one of his infamous live sets, he will bring the fierce energy that we need. After almost ten years of producing music, his hypnotic sound has brought him to play all around the world. His previous releases have many times left us in awe.

Accompanying him is Berlin based DJ and Producer P.E.A.R.L. Originally from Spain, he was one half of Agony Forces before he started going solo. His vibes have hit clubs all across Europe. He has proven himself to be a striking crowd pleaser – which is just what we want. Also he founded the Label Falling Ethics which has been getting great attention by Techno lovers.

As always some of our very own Stützpunkt guys will complete the lineup. Opal, who has just played his international debut set a couple months back will play a back to back with Staím, who is always ready to make your legs shake. Chami and OP/H are also going to team up – these two vinyl lovers from Lyon will give you the inevitable urge to dance all night long. Finally our duo Background Radiation is starting off the night with their broad selection of strong and atmospheric music.

We are ready and really looking forward to you bringing the stunning energy that you’ve always given us. That’s what Stützpunkt is all about.

Escape To Mars picked the Title Track and reintroduced his very own Version with smashing Hats and well-placed Pads who generate a magical Atmosphere. Alexander Kowalski delievers 2 Versions of ‘Valley Of Hope’. While his first Version is addicted to the Dancefloor the second one is called ‘Alexander Kowalski’s Valley Of Synths’ and is showing us the beautiful Side of Ambient Techno . A wonderful Journey to listen. Last but not least we have Under Black Helmet with his Version of ‘In a Split Second’. With a powerful Kick and the clever use of the Atmo and Synth Sounds he made a heavy Dancefloor-Weapon.
