Last post for 2011

Berlin, December 30th, 2011

The end is near folks, 2011 is almost over and first of all we’d like to thank all our artists, partners and of course friends and fans that keep supporting us and helped to make 2011 a really successfull year. We hope that you stay with us in 2012 for much more leet shit to come! We have planned a lot and will focus to expand our empire to take over clubs around the globe and bring pure dancefloor elitism to the raving underground.

Our next vinyl is almost ready to be mastered and pressed, we just have to wait for a remix, before we can continue. Until that’s all sorted out, we’ll have some nice digital gems ready to hit the stores. The next few EPs are save and you can expect some leet tracks as usually!

Aside from that 0x7f is working on an APP for android devices that will enable you to stream our latest DJ – and Liveset’s directly from your mobile or tablet device! It will also display current news about our label and probably more features will be included. It is still in alpha stage, but once it is in beta we’ll make it available for download here, so anyone interested to help us beta test is welcome. Sofar there is no iOS support planned, but we will also make sure to satisfy the apple fanboys eventually… You see there is a lot planned and we have much more ideas that we’d like to make happen.

Thanks again for all your support and have a great time with your friends and loved ones on new years eve, see you next year!

Stay rebel!

[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.

[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!

You have to hurry up to get yourself one of the last copies and at the same time support us to keep vinyl alive!

Naturally we don’t rest and already planned the next vinyl release for the end of this year. Who is it this time? A little peak into of our vinyl schedule shows that LEET 004 will feature Japan’s one and only minimal techno princess Akiko Kiyama, but more details will be kept under wraps for now, so keep your eyes and ears open for news.

Of course our digital releases aren’t on hold either and the next EP by Pheek is already being finalized and prepared for release. We hope to put it out the next few weeks if everything goes as planned. After that we present a new EP by 0x7f with remixes from a few special artist’s that we’ll reveal later.

[LEET 003] Cabanne – The Owls Are Not What They Seem EP

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.

After countless releases on labels like Logistic, Perlon, Karat, 7th City, and his own Minibar and Telegraph, we are proud to present his latest work called ‚The owls are not what they seem‘. As soon as the first track ‚Gredingotte‘ starts, you will instantly notice the typical Cabanne style. Ass shaking beats with funky percussions, melodic bits and pieces on top of mystic pads and deep subs. Sprincled with vocal samples surrounded by an array of hats and toms, the A side is a leet club track, ready to hit the unwashed raving masses! The second track ‚Maki De Sade‘ is deep, spaced out and super trippy. A warped melody wandering through your speakers and fading into twisted cuts and freaky noises. Pure afterhour madness and the perfect B-side track.

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!

New artist: Cabanne

Berlin, April 15th, 2011

We are proud to announce yet another new member of the 31337 family – Cabanne.. Most of you will know him from his own label ‘Minibar’ and various others like ‘Perlon’, ‘Telegraph’ and ‘Hello?Repeat’.

Our next vinyl LEET 003 will feature 2 original tracks that we just received and really enjoy a lot! He is one of those producers that you instantly recognize. Quality stuff wether he produces or plays live. One of our personal favorites and so we are happy to welcome him on our label!

‘The owls are not what they seem‘, keep that in mind!

[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.
