Press Info:
Amsterdam based label Anagram readies label co-founder Sinfol’s first solo release in three years entitled ‘Pull Back’. The release, which features four passionate tracks, sees the light of day in the beginning of April.

Since the launch of Anagram three years ago the label has put out a steady flow of releases from artists such as Anetha, Octual, Stefan Vincent, Elad Magdasi and Haze. However, the imprint has also acted as the main platform for Sinfol’s own productions. Blurring the line between various subgenres, the Dutch artist is an eclectic one and meanders between acid, house, techno and more.

The chords and arpeggios set the mood in ‘Life Off Measure’ where robotic elements rise to meet them, carving the way for ‘Result’ with its oscillating tones, clap fueled percussion and three-o-three licks. ‘Pull Back’ is packed with a thunderous energy that’s intertwined with Sinfol’s soulful vocals and ethereal synths, before swaying into deep house territory with ‘Exhale’. The track’s rolling bass, broken drums and twinkling melodies round off the latest instalment on the rising Amsterdam label off in a graceful manner.

Press Info:
We are kicking off the label’s 20th anniversary with a new installment of our Etui Winter Camp. The compilation includes 11 tracks by new and old artists from all over Europe. Dresden based film sound artist Bony Stoev and Alex Tasso aka Submoon open the 4th edition of Etui Winter Camp with heart warming ambient tracks.

Echo expert Monomood dives deep into an ocean of chords with his “Fall” and label mind Insect O. takes you to the mystical “Forest Of The Monkeys”. After strolling around you find yourself lost in the soundscapes of El Choop’s “Narrow Pulse” and Infinitedub’s “Pulse Storm”. Bristol meets Malta. Not enough of chords? Screaming synths wake you up in Planetary Secret 90’s techno interpretation “Offshore Platform”. It’s time to move!

Alek S is no stranger to dub techno lovers around the world. His “Cream” sounds like dancing ice crystals. Leipzig based modular techno head Markus Masuhr experiments with hypnotizing drone sounds in his “Stages Of The Ocean” and Phil Baenz delivers some analog techno for the dancefloor with his “Isslag”. Finally made of CONCRETE label heads Rebar prove with their “Morning Routine” the best thing to do in a cold winter night is to dance your shoes off in the strobe lights of a techno club.

Founded by Oliver Hartmann (aka Insect O.) in 1998 Etui Records has been released 28 vinyl releases, 6 compilations and several digital only releases. In 2011 Etui started the new vinyl series Etui Low Tech Dub to focus on the deep and dubby side of techno and transfer it into an up-to-date audioframe.

Press Info:
Brothers Black return with New York family label Safer At Night for a Safer At Night x Brothers Black collaborative vinyl release.

E-150
Brothers Black kick off the EP with E-150, a bold, futuristic techno exploration that takes them away from the dance floor. Combining distorted, off-kilter rhythms with luscious space-age pads, they set a unique tone for the EP.

E-150 (Cosmin TRG Remix)
On remix duties is highly acclaimed producer and DJ, Cosmin TRG. Known for his trademark production style, Cosmin delivers a clubfocussed remix that draws on the original. Mixing a tight, hypnotic groove with the sampled pads of the original, Cosmin’s remix brings out his UK influences with hints of 90s nostalgia.

Identity Crisis
For the B-side Brothers Black return to a dance-floor focus with Identity Crisis. Combining a galloping groove with FM bells and a haunting pad, this melodic tool is perfect for any time of the night.

There’s No Turning Back
In keeping with trademark Safer At Night release formatting, the Brothers deliver There’s No Turning Back, an emotive ambient piece. Combining classic percussion and rich pads, the B2 creates a nostalgic tone to round off the EP.

Press Info:
The second release on Sbire furthers the on-going collaboration between label co-founder Gaspard de La Montagne and Nathan Baumann. ‘Spectres’ is a bold, seductive and wonderfully-unhurried record which shows the breadth of the Sbire sound world.

The title track is orchestral and profoundly alluring, with an earworm bassline creeping out from behind the kick drum’s refined thud. You’re pulled further in by the lengthy intro of ‘Aube’, where floating pads, draw from the instrumental flair of classical music. Mid-way through they give way to a stripped-back bassline, exemplifying the nature of this collaboration.

B-side opener ’Masque’ has harmonic beams of light swirling over its foundations. The melodies transfix and the drums keep time. ‘Perspective 1&2’ occupies a thin veil of haze, tempering the beat and bringing out the groove in the baggy percussion. In fitting style, it ends a record whose grace comes in the striking interactions between elements far-removed.
