Press Info:
Berlin-based producer Pascal Hetzel’s 2022 album ASLM gets a fresh reimagining with the ASLM Remixes LP. Featuring reworks by a handpicked selection artists, this remix collection breathes new life into the original tracks, offering a diverse range of sounds that stay true to the album’s dystopian and futuristic essence.

The remix LP opens with JakoJako’s take on RBBRMN, transforming the track into a broken-beat cut with pitched-down electronics. It’s an ideal opener, setting a futuristic and moody tone that draws you in. Next, GAEL reworks TWST into a bass-heavy, hypnotic cut. With underwater-y atmospheres, ethereal textures, and a stomping kick drum, the track builds into an emotional sequence that feels both haunting and cathartic.

Kaiser steps up with a deep and groovy remix of SLT, delivering a driving force from start to finish. Liquid synths, frantic pads, and bell-like percussion create a sense of momentum that pulls you into oblivion. Projekt Gestalten takes SLT in his own direction, injecting acid textures and frantic atmospheres into the mix. This version is raw, dirty, and guaranteed to ignite chaos on late-night sets.

Closing the LP, Luis Flores reimagines PPPR as a noisy, power-driven cut. Balancing emotion with relentless energy, Flores adds his signature touch of controlled madness, making it a standout.

The ASLM Remixes LP not only pays homage to Pascal Hetzel’s original vision but also showcases the versatility of his work through the unique perspectives of each remixer.

Set to release on April 4th, 2025, via Arkham Audio.

Press Info:
Bloody Mary celebrates 15 years of Dame-Music with three-part Vinyl series

The first volume features Thomas P. Heckmann, E-Bony, Hardfloor, and Bloody Mary.

Dame-Music, synonymous with renowned French DJ, producer, Tresor resident and label owner Bloody Mary, announces a three-part Vinyl series to mark its fifteenth anniversary. The first volume, releasing 28th March 2025, features a track from Bloody Mary and welcomes back Thomas P. Heckmann, E-Bony, and Hardfloor to the imprint. Future instalments will see artists like Ben Sims, DJ Mell G, DEAS, Viikatory and Jerome Hill join the celebrations, among others. The release volumes come in a record sleeve designed by Philip Mercieca, with the three parts forming one collector’s item image.

“It’s been an amazing journey since 2010 – big thanks to all the wonderful artists we’ve had the pleasure to release music from, to the people who’ve worked behind the scenes at the label, and above all, to all you guys who’ve supported the music over all these years! You help us keep the dream alive. Thank you!” – Bloody Mary

The theme of ‘15 Years Of Dame-Music Vol.1’ is acid – with label regular Thomas P. Heckmann’s ‘Days Of Buzz’ electrifying the dancefloor with waves of mind-melting acid over a resolute beat. Label head Bloody Mary then drops ‘Fractal Waves’, playful, 303-licked, and comfortably switching between straight 4/4 and raw, crunched-up breaks; this is a rave-ready cut showing Mary at her best.

On the flip, E-Bony returns to Dame-Music after closing the label’s 2024 schedule with the ‘Machine Code’ EP. His ‘303 Elements’ builds from a low-slung groove to an intense climax as acid drips, oozes and rains over crisp drums while hoover sounds create an otherworldly atmosphere at its peak. Closing out the first volume is 90s Acid Techno duo Hardfloor with ‘I’ll Never Own A Helicopter’ , providing a hands-in-the-air club track to work the dancefloor into a frenzy.

Founded in 2010 by Bloody Mary, Dame-Music has hosted over fifty releases featuring the likes of Fear-E, Josh Wink, Boo Williams, KiNK, and many more. The label has existed in tandem with Mary’s two-decade career, which has seen her tour the globe, snap up a long-running residency at Berlin institution Tresor, and recently start a fully hardware-based live show, which resulted in her latest ‘ALTERNATE STATES OF REALITY’ EP on her label.

‘15 Years Of Dame-Music Vol.1’ is an ode to the unmistakable sound of the TB-303, a core element of Bloody Mary’s widely respected sound and label. Above all, it celebrates fifteen years of quality dance music, set to continue across its three excellently curated volumes in 2025.

Press Info:
As Ronan describes the album : “Electric Sun resonates deeply with me. There have been revelations and epiphanies in its making. There are sides to it where I’ve expressed things in ways I hadn’t until now. It’s allowed me to explore and reach new levels in the kind of music I make. I said on stage a few times that the next one would be darker. It was more a feeling than a conscious choice. Now, I don’t mean darker in an ‘alone in a concrete cellar at 2am on a Saturday’ or ‘my hunchback brother fell down a well and now I’m sad’ kind of way. You don’t plan creativity but you can curate and guide it. You are a vessel for it and, if you’re like me, you let it do its thing. It’s not the tools themselves but what they enable you to do. I find this album to be more emotive than usual, at times reaching some intensity. A lot was waiting to come out, I guess. I think you’ll understand what I mean once you’ve heard it. From the title track ‘Electric Sun’ to songs like ‘Prophet’, ‘Run’, ‘Sunflare’ and ‘At Horizon’s end’, there’s a cinematic-size scale to what I’ve made here. If you want, the album will make you dance, or ask you to think or make you smile and, at times, it might well put dust in your eye. I find it hard to grasp what I’ve achieved on this and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Press Info:
Cormac‘s Polari label kicks off the year with CYRK‘s new dance-floor focused release. The Heat drops 21st of February.

Cormac on CYRK‘s upcoming single; ‘‘CYRK are to date the most released artist on Polari. It’s a bit of a love affair (which is fitting as they are a love story also). The leather mix of this release is so sexy and the house mix hits it every set.‘‘

Collaborating with Maryland-born singer, songwriter, and composer Yona Marie – The vocals embody a suave nuance amplifying the tracks.

CYRK on their upcoming release; ‘‘We were playing some early Underground Resistance vocal Detroit techno in one of our sets (Living for the Night) and thought we would try to produce that kind of 90s 909 based fast house music, After producing the initial track, we began the search for a vocalist and were thrilled to discover Yona Marie. Her voice brought the track to life, and we decided to experiment further with a ‘Leather Mix’—a darker, moodier version of the original. For the radio edit, we had some help from Marco Freivogel, as it was a challenge deciding what to trim from the track.‘‘

The Heat stands testament to the vibrant and ongoing collaboration between Cormac, Polari and CYRK,

Tierisch Verboten
(L.F.T. Remix)

Press Info:
Wellen.Brecher is an electronic band with punk attitude, which has been transcending and subverting electronic music genre boundaries for the past 6 years. After the release of Tierisch Verboten, which can confidently be described as the “soundtrack to inclusion”, and a strong second release on our label Killekill, LIEBESERKLARUNG is the band’s first full-length album. Including a series of first-class remixes.?

Refreshingly, the entire release is not based on the corny bad trance traditions loved by contemporary Buffalo shoe wearers. Instead – intentionally or not – it follows a series of almost historical musical quotations from over the last 40 years with each track on the album feeling like a new adventure.

The album opens with TUROFFNER, which has a kind of an Afrika Bambaataa intro, before turning into a wonderfully tresoresque/Detroit techno beast, always commented on or counteracted by the vocals – just like (almost) all the tracks on the album: a new round, a new crazy ride – bumper car lyrics on a powerful stomping reduction of a 90s track.

From here we leap backwards in time into grey West Berlin of the 80s with ROBOT GIRL which shifts and drifts like a bug in buttermilk somewhere between Grauzone and Alan Vega. Next track KAPUTT kicks in with a bang and smashes everything in the best EBM tradition – this could have been played in a techno club in Frankfurt, both in terms of lyrics and sound. Line up for Elektropogo please!

After all the stomping Wellen.Brecher bring in something completely different with VOICE OF A GENERATION: dramatic vocals over delicate breaks which gradually dissolve into arpeggios on a high-quality trance carpet. Challenge complete! ?JULIA takes us back to the late eighties in the dark but fun Belgian-Detroit early trance with new beat appeal. TUNNEL TRANCE would have been a good fit for dancing around the Berlin Siegessaule in, let’s say, 1998.

Relentless 4/4 beats with a hook-line on speed surrounded by acidophilic bows and, on top, the vocal commentary arriving as if from the man behind the glass of the Ferris wheel. In your mind’s eye, you can see fur-shoed gym ravers in bright neon jumping through the Tiergarten like rubber balls.

The cover version of the classic TECHNO DJ is an homage to good old punk – torn apart and reassembled in true Wellen.Brecher style. The closer TIERISCH VERBOTEN brings all the emotion rushing back: fat beats beckon slowly from afar, before the curtain comes up for an epic synth finale.

The harsh, albeit true words really drive you in. It’s not necessary, but perhaps it’s good to point it out: Inclusion can easily be experienced with music like this. Fuck AfD!
