[1337-022] Pheek – Mr. Steger’s Space Capsule EP


After working with Pheek for so long, we are more than happy to finally publish a release by our dear friend Jean-Patrice Rémillard! The EP is a wonderful mix of spaced out minimal techno, dub and ambient, creatively arranged with a complex minimalistic structure. Step into Mr. Steger‘s Space Capsule and prepare to escape planet earth with our astronauts Pheek, Hubble and Marc Neyen. Captain Pheek sets course to explore the unknown and you are invited to follow our artists into new imaginary worlds full of playful ambience and lovely repetitive beats.

Put on your spacesuit and get yourself ready for a wild ride that starts with the first track called ‚Making Organic Mechanic‘, an abstract and trippy voyage for your mind. Beware of organic elements turning into mechanic pads while we travel through deep space.

Enjoy the view, we‘ll be landing with the next track on a distinct planet soon. Once arrived you notice, that it‘s almost as if you could hear the solar winds, when you walk with Pheek through a lost world on the hunt for the unknown. Suddenly you hear a melody, where is it coming from? Turns out Pheek and Hubble brought their secret project EEBB to be launched into the orbit and its emitting sound waves. Watch the probe go into space while Hubble records the biosphere. Spheric noises surround you while following the team back into the spaceship.

All systems running, Hubble sets the coordinates for the trip back to earth. It almost seems like the engine is forming a pounding beat while we lift off. Now it‘s Mr. Neyen‘s turn to keep you entertained on the flight with an amazingly beautiful remix until we safely enter our own atmosphere. Want to be part of the next mission? Get yourself a copy of this wonderful EP and save yourself a place in Mr. Steger‘s Space Capsule!

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!

[LEET 002] Easy Changes – Australia EP

Today we unleash upon the masses our second vinyl record ‚Australia EP‘ by our dear friends Easy Changes! The duo is known for their creative minimalistic style with lots of field recordings mashed up into funky rhythms. Yet again they continue to provide their unique symbiosis of rhythmical patterns with the world of mysterious sounds and dark moods. The core of their music has continued progression, like a story being told with multiple scenarios between the past, present and future life.

Traveling and touring has influenced the artists and gave them lots of inspiration, which keeps coming back in the beautiful form of music. The Australia EP has three original tracks on vinyl and one digital bonus track. A1 is a mighty club track that builds up with lots of different and nicely arranged elements wrapped into a cloud of reverbs and delays on top of rhythmic percussions and massive subs.

B1 brings even more heavy subs into the game. A dark pushing minimal track with plenty of twisted field recordings, that well known ‚Easy Changes‘ groove and a beat made for the dancefloor that no real raver could resist. B2 is a deep and dark tune with a pumping bassline and cleverly arranged percussions that form an amazing industrial feel. Mysterious melodies and well chosen breaks round up the track perfectly. The digital mp3 release includes a bonus track named ‚Synanceia Nana‘. It is another bouncing minimal tune ready to hit the clubs. Dark and freaky FX meet resonated patterns floating in a cloud of metallic noises and subtle clicks and breaks. From Russia with love <3 

[LEET 001] Someone Else – Zebra Talk EP


We finally did it: We proudly present to you our very first vinyl by none other than Mr. Sean O‘Neil aka Someone Else, the mastermind behind Foundsound records! Known for his awesome releases on various labels and for filling dancefloors all over the world, he delivers a cool club track called ‚Zebra Talk‘. Driven by a heavy, minimal beat, this track offers freaky, distorted vocals, spooky breaks and enough tension to keep the crowd moving. We also provide you with some great remixes: The first one by Miskate is a more linear approach to the original track, featuring loads of percussion and neatly arranged breaks surrounded by massive reverb.The second remix is by the Argentenian producer Omar Salgado. A groovy new bassline and full of deep variation, this track moves into a different direction. Last but not least our Japanese friend Den comes up with a perfect DJ tool, only available on the digital release.

[1337-021] Sven Laux – An Unconventional Exposure LP


Put on your dancing shoes girls and boys, we are back again with a marvellous release by Sven Laux! Straight from the Berlin underground Sven has been releasing previously on labels such as Archipel and lately received a lot of attention for his brilliant album on Microcosm Music. For us Sven delivers a trippy minimal album with a touch of glitch, ambience and lots of funky breaks and cuts. Smartly arranged tunes that seem to bend time and space, archived through twisting and deforming of samples wandering through a wave of delays, clicks and strange noises. All tracks are fun to listen to wether you are at home, or spacing out in the back of a small smoky dance floor. On top of all that you get a variety of fantastic remixes from Sul.a, who provides his own down beat / ambient interpretation of ‘Rectifiable Curve’, Marc Neyen who adds a funky groove to ‘Co-Elliptic Curves’ and finally Martin Teysera (Monoblock) with a driving techhouse remix of ‘Laws & Errors’. Now if that ain’t something.

[1337-020] DoubtingThomas – Technocolor Tangle LP


Here we are back again with a stunning album called ‘Technocolor Tangle’ by DoubtingThomas. Each track is creatively forming itself around four to the floor beats and every element you need or could possibly hope for in this genre. If it’s deep bass lines, distinct melodies, abstract textures or rhythmic percussions. You can instantly hear that it’s made with professionalism, fun and love for the little details.

A great combination that totally fits our ideals of handmade minimal techno – sometimes raw, abstract, funky or dynamic and without factory presets. Once again music for the soul and the dancefloor alike. This is truely an outstanding piece of work and we are happy to share it with you now after months of hiding it on our harddisks.



[1337-018] Pachyderme – L’ Homme Végétal Part 2 EP


Here we go, this is the second part of Franco’s release called ‘L’Homme Végétal’. Passionate downtempo tracks to space out and let the mind flow. These tracks invite to sit back and enjoy the soundscapes floating through the air, distinct from the usual, far away from the ordinary, but always classy and straight to the point.

Lovely melodies surrounded by a variety of percussions, effects and four to the floor beats, although this isn’t aimed for the dancefloor at all. Intelligent arrangements, minimalistic complexity and ambience forms into a timeless piece of art. Special music for special people. You can download the full release for free in 320bit mp3. Now who said, we ain’t nice?



[1337-017] Various Artists – We Are 31337! Vol. II


It all began with a Various Artists Compilation, so now 3 years later we are proud to announce our long delayed ‘V/A – We are 31337! Vol. II’. A timeless collection of electronic music from all around the world, that doesn’t follow any particular trend and works for every occasion. Our friends from Argentina, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, the UK and Germany provide you a tasty buffet of bouncy techhouse tracks and freshly cooked, spheric minimal techno.

We serve it all. Without doubt, all of these artists have a continued drive to provide the audience with interesting soundscapes and delicate food for your ears. Each track has its own story and since music says more than a thousand words, we let the music speak for itself and hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do. Have a good one and eat your vegetables kids!

[1337-016] Pachyderme – L’ Homme Végétal Part 1 EP


Let us introduce you to Pachyderme, our newest addition to the 31337 family. This young man from Córdoba, Argentina, produces thoughtful music for the soul. His first release is so big that we had to split it up into two parts and still, both parts are very long plays with +20 minute tracks. So here is the first part, quality minimalistic downtempo tracks to relax and enjoy for every occasion. Each track builds up slowly over time and leaves enough room for the listeners mind to wander around. Creative music that lasts and lasts seemingly forever, but never loses its flair. The release is available as free download in 320bit, so grab your copy now while its hot!





[1337-015] Den – Back To There EP


We are happy to announce our newest album from Den, one of Japans most talanted artists. He delivers you 8 wonderful tracks ranging from minimal to tech-house. Den takes you on a wild ride, a journey back to there. On the way you will be accompanied by deep sub lines, wonderful melodies, funky rolling percussions, lovely vocal cuts and interesting samples. Den was born in Tokyo and brought up in Tokyo, but he was living in several cities around the globe such as St. Pauli or London and is currently living in Berlin. He started his music career as a freelance cm/cf music creator and has released on labels like ‘Multi Vitamins’, ‘Clever Music’, ‘Op.disc’ and of course 31337records. Den ‘the man’ puts a lot of thought into his productions, so each track is perfectly arranged and never gets boring. The album has already been played in lots of clubs around the globe and always received great feedback.
