[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!

Dualism°°

‘Dualism°°’ are Kwamina and Gab from Zurich. Thanks to their graphic design/art ballet and theater background the aesthetics plays an essential part in their life. On a daily base they have to look at the things from every angle as they are used to expose and deal with visual forms & shapes & colours as well as movements & motions. At the moment however, all is about music. With their delicate flair for future sound-trends, the innovative and versatile swiss-duo developes and creates since 2005 their very own definition of the ‘so-called‘ minimal techno. Their debut release on Pheek’s label Archipel ‘Dualism°° – Speech Defect EP., 2006’ showed their skills in impressive way.

In 2008 they attract attention with the ‘A Fool’s Tale EP.‘ on Jeff Milligan’s cultlabel ‘Revolver Canada’. Today, their sound appears minimally as twisted, queer-melodic deep and wicked techno with much love to the detail. Their sound surprises with unconventional rhythm-structures and many-layered sound-design. their distinctive style and preference for idiosyncratically and broken sounds as well as the clever use of vocal-snippets is always present on their productions and performances. As performing live pa, there is no compromise on their set. Always improvising one will never hear the same music twice. haunting melodies meet deep beats and luring atmospheres in order to create a unique blend of powerful dynamics.

There’s a bunch of interesting 12inch records coming up in the near future with remixes from Mo’s Ferrys head ‘Dapayk’ – Alphahouse crack ‘Butane’. In January 2009 the duo started their own label ‘Numbolic records’ with releases from ‘Phase‘ – ‘Suedmilch‘ – ‘Lump‘ – ‘Hidenobu Ito‘ – ‘Sebastian Herre’ – ‘Dualism°°‘ and many others. In July 2009 it was time to start a 2nd label ‘Numbolic unlimited‘ (vinyl 12’’). They’ll will work together with well established musicians like ‘Franco Cinelli‘ – ‘Lineas de Nazca’ – ‘Alejandro Vivanco‘ – ‘Cesare vs. Disorder’ – ‘Butane‘ a.o.
