Jean-Guillaume Cabanne owns a solid education as a Jazz musician and used to hold the guitar in various Paris underground funk bands. Cabanne really got over to electronic music with two EP’s for Logistic Records in 1997 in collaboration with John Thomas. He had discovered electronic music in the beginning of the 90′s and was already active in the house and techno scene in Paris, helping to promote events and occasionally working the lights at the famous Rex Club. In 2000, he is given the opportunity by the Logistic team to set up his own sub-label Telegraph, exclusively dedicated to the music he stands for. In the meantime, he also releases on a few other groundbreaking

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?

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!
