[1337-023] 0x7f – As The World Burns We Watch TV.. EP


The year starts off with a new release straight from the 31337 management! Label head Stefan Klaas aka 0x7f presents his EP ‘As The World Burns We Watch TV’, a classy selection of tracks filled with ambience and mixed with a bit of tech-house and dub. 0x7f doesn’t follow any standards or trends and has a distinct feel for deep melodic tunes with lots of clicks and field recordings wrapped into complex minimalistic sound structures. 

While the title shows a critical view on parts of todays society, the EP doesn’t reflect negative thoughts and simply invites the listener to let the mind wander and thoughts flow. Along the 3 original tracks there are 3 fabulous remixes by Akiko Kiyama, Ditch and Sil from the Easy Changes duo. Akiko delivers a wonderfully unique remix of

‘Surface’ that brings in some fresh elements and turns the track around into a new and interestingly mysterious direction. A well structured flow with lots of true minimalism, carefully chosen patterns and straight to the point. Ditch presents a very creative, dark interpretation of ‘Virtualized’, filled with samples that leave some kind of industrial impression. A pounding beat that slowly comes out of the shadows, surrounded by a field of percussions and well selected cuts. Sil pushed the boundaries and made a remix aimed at the dancefloor. Well arranged and cut up percussions emerging between twisted samples and melodic bits and pieces that turn the original track upside down and inside out. Of course with the typical Easy Changes style.

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
