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!

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!

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.

‘Haruyuki Yokoyama (producer / Architect) from Kanagawa, Japan was originally inspired by electronic music from the mid 90’s. His first musical experiences came from starting an electronic band with some talented friends, and in 1998, his solo electronic music productions began. After moving to Los Angeles in 1999, he studied Architecture, but his passion for electronic music continued. In 2003, he returned to his native homeland of Japan to live in Tokyo, where he continues to create his own take on minimal techno.’ Today we present you his debut EP on our label. ‘Error’ is a very creatively assembled piece of art. Haruyuki presents his very own style of minimal for you to enjoy. Vocal cuts emerging out of freaky grooves carefully put together into a unique musical structure. Listen to these joyfully diassembled fragments of samples and enjoy beeing left in syntax error.

‘Nothing’ is the sound of a brooding monster lurking around the corner. Will it eat your dog? Probably, cuz she’s covered in tabasco and this mexican has an appetite for perros! Tasty morsels of vintage industrial samples pepper the abstracted techno rhythm with a nice acidic drip overhead. Now, Miskate ain’t afraid of no monster. She’s devised a plan to lure the creature onto the floor and shake his ass off with a stomping rendition of ‘Nothing’. Hear that dog? Yeah, she’s having it too! Sometimes you feel like doing the opposite, like making minimal techno. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just that everyone else is whipping out the sausage and banging on the bongos in the same way. Go in reverse. Myspace can be a pretty hairy land to navigate. So is tom’s back. on this track, we explore the nether regions of the world’s most popular guy while he takes a picture of himself in the mirror. Aw Tom, so loveable…

We are back baby and we’ve got our bag filled with new stuff for your ears. Today we present you a fresh face which we picked up in Spain. Our newest artist, Jacobo Hernandez, aka SeQ presents you his very first EP straight for the dancefloor called, ‘Unknown Pleasures’. Dark tunes with minimalistic arrangements, thoughtful structures and ass shaking guaranteed! There are 4 tracks on this EP, the first one being, ‘Gaza’. It feels like walking in a hostile environment. A track full of mysterious and interesting sounds. The next track, ‘Octubres’ starts right where ‘Gaza’ left off. It puts some more enthusiasm into the rythmic structures, effectively pushing the track to the next level. Can you feel the deep sub?! ‘Open Road’ is more repetitive, but has a nice mood and is great as a DJ tool for mixing. The last track, ‘Next Station’ is very simplistic and filled with lots of small filtered elements that round up the track and keep the beat rolling.

We just love Japan. The culture, the country everything seems so magical and this reflects in their music. German and Japanese frindship goes back a long way, so why not continue this tradition in the music industry. We know so many talented people from Japan and already signed a lot. So today we present one of our newest members in the 31337 family – Liiebermann! These guys simply rock. ‘Private Tools On The Deck’s’ Ko-ta and K. Hamawaki work together from Kushiro, Hokkaido and Tokyo. 

They were also featured on ‘Multi Vitamins’ this year and on the Japanese label ‘Kodaira tracks’. Their music is really put together with lots of thought. Cool beats with funky spliced vocals and melodic bleeps or textures. Straight to the point minimal techno. The EP also includes a great remix of the track ‘Labo’ by Sebastian Koch!

We are back with a new release from the 31337 management! Our 10th release and also our very first full album, this time from label manager Stefan aka ’0x7f”! The release includes 6 original tracks starting with ‘Black Market’, which is a nice club track with lots of percussions and interesting samples. The next track ‘It Goes On And On’ is a bit slower and accompanied with a beautifully crushed melody that keeps clubbers floating when the sun goes up.

Coming to ‘Worship The Machines’, which is the title track of this album. A long journey into the world of bits and bytes. Funky vocal cuts meet field recordings with a taste of clicks and various effects. A perfekt mix to get your ass shaking! The track ‘So What’ is very deep and has a dubby touch. Monotonic melody meets reverb.

Today we proudly present our newest release, the ‘Ed Wood’ EP from Denis Karimani aka ‘Remute’. This guy simply knows how to turn the knobs. He is best known for his awesome live performances all around the globe and various releases on labels such as ‘Num’, ‘Lado’, ‘Einmaleins’, ‘Traum’ and many more. If you have seen him live, you wont forget those nights. If you haven’t, your missing out on something – if you get the chance to see him live, do not hesitate! This guy knows how to rock the crowd! Denis grabbed this old audio treasure from dat for us to remix.

It took over 1 year to finally put it out because of various changes in the remixes, but now you can get this lovely EP in your favorite download stores! The original is a timeless track full of melodic soundscapes, just like you know Mr. Remute – straight club tracks.

After a little summer break 31337records is back with a smashing minimal techno release from Topper including remixes made by Sebastian Koch and 0x7f. ‘Topper grew up in turin surrounded by substances and tunes typical of a hippie-kind of environment. Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd were his milk. His dad, the ‘hippie’, had a huge influence on him, and introduced his curious kid into the magic of music and psychedelic culture.

That’s the reason why he felt like he was born for music! Rapidly he got in touch with more ‘minimal’ sounds and started djing. The big shift occurred during the summer of 2005: Right after taking his High-school diploma he moved to Berlin. It took some months to get into the scene, but by the end of 2005 he joined the ‘Klangsucht’ crew, playing at numerous underground parties, open-airs, afterhours and so on…’
