Last post for 2011

Berlin, December 30th, 2011

The end is near folks, 2011 is almost over and first of all we’d like to thank all our artists, partners and of course friends and fans that keep supporting us and helped to make 2011 a really successfull year. We hope that you stay with us in 2012 for much more leet shit to come! We have planned a lot and will focus to expand our empire to take over clubs around the globe and bring pure dancefloor elitism to the raving underground.

Our next vinyl is almost ready to be mastered and pressed, we just have to wait for a remix, before we can continue. Until that’s all sorted out, we’ll have some nice digital gems ready to hit the stores. The next few EPs are save and you can expect some leet tracks as usually!

Aside from that 0x7f is working on an APP for android devices that will enable you to stream our latest DJ – and Liveset’s directly from your mobile or tablet device! It will also display current news about our label and probably more features will be included. It is still in alpha stage, but once it is in beta we’ll make it available for download here, so anyone interested to help us beta test is welcome. Sofar there is no iOS support planned, but we will also make sure to satisfy the apple fanboys eventually… You see there is a lot planned and we have much more ideas that we’d like to make happen.

Thanks again for all your support and have a great time with your friends and loved ones on new years eve, see you next year!

Stay rebel!

New releases, radio sets and special guests

Berlin, September 21th, 2011

*Pssst* you didn’t hear it from us, but word on the street is that this friday (23.09.) something wicked is going down in Berlin at Brunnen 70 !

Sebastian Koch and a special agent, Mr. Cabanne himself will show some b2b madness between 23:30 – 07:30, so put on your favorite dancing shoes and prepare yourself for pure minimal and tech-house elitism all night long!

Another thing that is making rounds is our latest vinyl LEET 003 by Cabanne which has received great feedback around the world. We are really happy and excited to finally have this gem out. You have to hurry up to get yourself one of the last copies and at the same time support us to keep vinyl alive!

Naturally we don’t rest and already planned the next vinyl release for the end of this year. Who is it this time? A little peak into of our vinyl schedule shows that LEET 004 will feature Japan’s one and only minimal techno princess Akiko Kiyama, but more details will be kept under wraps for now, so keep your eyes and ears open for news.

Of course our digital releases aren’t on hold either and the next EP by Pheek is already being finalized and prepared for release. We hope to put it out the next few weeks if everything goes as planned. After that we present a new EP by 0x7f with remixes from a few special artist’s that we’ll reveal later. Then we finally get to show you a talented newcomer called Ywi with remixes by Benjamin Fehr and Sil!

We’d also like to point out that you can find our previous radio shows on play.fm. That means you can freely stream the complete sets of our guests like Daniel Bell, Jeremy P. Caulfield, Easy Changes, Benjamin Fehr, Falko Brocksieper, Maayan Nidam, Cesare vs. Disorder, Jan Krüger, Hubble, Mark Henning, Pheek & Stefny, Rudolf, Dilo and many more at anytime you want. Say thank you to Subjunk or buy him a beer for taking the effort to upload them all :)

Now put on your tin foil hats and prepare for the worst, the weekend is near!

Releases, tour dates and lust for more..

Berlin, July 8rd, 2011

It’s summer in Germany and naturally by day time it’s hard to work, but as children of the night we work perfectly fine after midnight. Of course we still find time to work on new releases and we’re especially happy to finally put out our 3rd vinyl record by Cabanne. It’s a pleasure for us to work with him and we feel he’s a perfect addition to the 31337 family! The record is currently being manufactured at Randmuzik and we should hold the first test pressings up into the air around next week. We are still hunting for the perfect cover art though. Aside from that a third of the label management, namely Sebastian Koch, is currently touring the United States and Canada. We should have announced his tour earlier and some dates have already passed (sorry about that!), but here are the remaining events:

09.07.2011 Sebastian Koch @ Kohanim Gallery (Atlanta)
16.07.2011 Sebastian Koch @ Full-Moon-Party Rancho del Rio (Colorado)
23.07.2011 Sebastian Koch @ T.B.A (San Diego) – CANCLED!
23.07.2011 Sebastian Koch @ The Would Shop closing party (Denver)

If you have the chance to attend any of these events, be sure to stop by and party with Sebastian! Anyways, last thing to mention is that we also have a few digital releases planned such as an EP by our Argentinean friend Ywi, Undefault and also a part of the management – 0x7f will prepare a new EP with remixes by Pheek and Sil (Easy Changes). We are also in the process of preparing some merchandise, but more on that later. Lots of exciting things to come, so watch out!

New artist: Cabanne

Berlin, April 15th, 2011

We are proud to announce yet another new member of the 31337 family – Cabanne.. Most of you will know him from his own label ‘Minibar’ and various others like ‘Perlon’, ‘Telegraph’ and ‘Hello?Repeat’.

Our next vinyl LEET 003 will feature 2 original tracks that we just received and really enjoy a lot! He is one of those producers that you instantly recognize. Quality stuff wether he produces or plays live. One of our personal favorites and so we are happy to welcome him on our label!

The owls are not what they seem, keep that in mind!

Help us support Japan!

Berlin, April 3rd, 2011

We decided to donate 100% of the sales from our latest EP At The End Of The Day by Kai to reddotrelief, a charity on behalt of the dance music community. So please help us and grab yourself a copy in your favorite store!

Sebastian Koch at Monoculture, Malta April 9th

Berlin, March 30th, 2011

Same day different country – on 09.04.2011 Sebastian Koch will play in Malta. We guess most of you will hopefully attend our Melodiami party, but if you can afford a flight to Malta – go for it! You surely won’t regret it and you could zip a coctail or two with sebastian in the sun, sounds fun no? Besides you would be able to enjoy his awesome set on a tropical island!

Quote from the event:

“A night of left-field experimental Techno.. Sebastian Koch’s sets could be described as straight minimal, at times dark but always groovy techno!

His sets have taken him to legendary techno clubs such as ‘Arena club’ and ‘Tresor’! With an increasing number of releases under labels such as ‘Klangscheiben’, ‘Numbolic’ and his own ’31337records’, he’s sure to set the place ablaze.. Berliner Style!”

Melodiami + 31337records present Someone Else at Levee Club, April 9th


Berlin, March 29th, 2011

The event ‘Melodiami‘ stands for a musical collective with the approach to present a conclusive concept on and next to the dancefloor. Therefor it took not only to spot the right location, which was definitely found at the Levee (the Ex Bang Bang Club) here in Berlin, but also to support artists and well known producers.

That’s why it’s a pleasure for us to present to you the American producer Someone Else. As his love for minimal techno solidified by 1998, Sean teamed up with Jay Haze and Bjoern Hartmann, and together they launched the ‘Tuning Spork’ label. While making dance music with field recordings became more and more his shtick, Sean grew close to Kate Iwanowicz (a.k.a. Miskate) and Sylvain Takerkart (a.k.a. Fusiphorm), and together they launched the ‘Foundsound’ and ‘Unfoundsound’ record labels. To this day, both labels continue to gain increasingly more recognition while offering a unique facet to the modern-day minimal scene.

Over recent years, Sean’s production skills have been garnering respect among internationally renowned DJs and labels alike, as reflected by his massive discography of releases and remixes for labels like ‘Musik Krause’, ‘Tuning Spork’, ‘Foundsound’, ‘Mo’s Ferry’, ‘Microcosm’, ‘Nummer’, ‘Kickboxer’, ‘Sender’, ‘Alphahouse’, ‘Roman-Photo’, ‘Level Non-Zero’, ‘Mule Musiq’, ‘Hello? Repeat’, ‘Revolver’, ’31337records’ and many others. This was accompanied by extensive world touring, and he was voted as one of the best live acts of 2006 in Groove Magazine. Sean continues to spin and play live all around North America, South America, Europe, Japan, Russia and elsewhere — including Fabric in London, Yellow in Tokyo, Rex Club in Paris and Panorama Bar in Berlin.

Another great artist we invited is Sven Laux, who’s career started in 1998 by creating music using simple computer programs and his first keyboard. In 1999-2000, electronic music became his style of choice and since his passion for sampling and looping tracks constantly grew he began to create his own special sound.

He has released and remixed on several labels like ‘Archipel’, ‘SpontanMusik’, ‘Multi Vitamins’, ‘Tropic’, ‘Mischievous Musique’ and ‘Leporelo’ just to mention a few. His current album on ‘Microcosm Music’ gained huge international respect and another album is going to follow soon on 31337records. In 2008 he started a new project, called ‘Offtopic’. Under this moniker he presents a very special non-dancefloor oriented sound, created by nothing more but pure improvisation.

Additional musical excesses are being provided by Jama from the Bar 25 family, Marc Pick and Coco who are an inherent part of the Berlin Dance culture with their ‘Betriebsfeier’, and many more.

Line-Up:

Someone Else (31337records, Foundsound / Berlin)
Sven Laux (31337records, Archipel, Microcosm / Berlin)
Subjunk (31337records / Berlin)
Jama (Bar25 / Berlin)
