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

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.

Time to clean the dust off your record players kids, there is a shiny new vinyl coming to town by non other than Cabanne, without doubt one of the most skilled house and techno artists of our time! Jean-Guillaume Cabanne owns a solid education as a Jazz musician and used to hold the guitar in various Paris underground funk bands.

He now has a solid 10 year experience as a DJ and live musician, touring around the world’s most reknown clubs and occasionally participating in improvised jams with Ark, Thomas Brinkmann, Daniel Bell, Audio Werner and most notoriously the Narod Niki live project initiated by Ricardo Villalobos. Cabanne also likes to engage in group activities, most noticeably with Ark as Copacabannark, with David Gluck as Ultrakurt or with John Thomas for his Blackstage project.

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.

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.

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.

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.

31337records is back once again with a killer release by our Japanese friend Kaitaro Nakajima aka Kai. From bouncy minimal to shaking house, whatever he does, it just sounds right. Quality productions with a touch of style that simply amazes the interested listener. You will surely enjoy the well choosen field recordings, rhythmic percussions on top of repetitiv melodic elements and lovely static noises.

He cleverly adds vocal cuts and breaks just where they belong to give the tracks their final touch. Minimal and Tech-house mashed up with an experimental edge. Kai is no stranger in the scene and has previously released on labels such as Alphahouse, Revolver and Süd Electronic. To round it all up, Pheek did a great job as usually with the mastering.

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?
