New Signing: Paurro

Mexican DJ and producer Paulina Rodriguez aka Paurro naturally fell into the embrace of acid house, UK garage, breakbeat, bass and techno music after doing her mayor internship in Spain and England.

Paurro found another home in the dance community which gave her a platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and to elevate other artists’ works, with a big focus on those from her own home country.

An iconic essence of house, Paulina draws a fine house line between her organic and energetic sounds, providing happy and unforgettable sets that mark the soul. Ranging from deep and minimal to uplifting and melodic sounds, often grazing 90s house and disco, her true aim is to curate a feeling of true freedom through song and dance.

HOMEPAGE

OUT: Album 'Hasan Poppu' by Hasan Poppu

Hasan Poppu is a project by Jens-Uwe Beyer and Thomas Venker. It's a word creation that means broken pop music and is based on our deep soft spot for all things Japanese. Originally based on a special one-off live performance, Jens-Uwe Beyer and Thomas Venker got the idea to make a record out of the Japanese lyrics that Venker wrote and ended up producing six new tracks that also showcases a contribution of remixes from friends: YPY (Japan), Hibotep (Uganda), Lena Willikens (Berlin), Efdemin (Berlin) and Barnt & Jens-Uwe Beyer (Köln). So there we have it, an album consisting of eleven tracks that was conceived, offering a ride from dark, noise techno textures over hilarious moments of party ecstasy to outer-worldly vibes.

HOMEPAGE

OUT: EP 'TIED' by Mona Mur

"Mona Mur is a musical legend and it is therefore no surprise that she can take oppressive retro beats and nihilistic lyrics and turn them into something that could make the shadows dance. I wear black because that is what she decrees. Worship her." -Bluesbunny

HOMEPAGE

OUT: Album 'Schön' by Felix Römer & Nachtfarben

Felix Römer writes poetry. This has led to him being the German-language poetry slam champion on the one hand, and on the other, to his texts being brought to the public in a wide variety of contexts. 

Now Römer is once again breaking new ground. During the last years and between all the restrictions the cultural scene had to deal with, Felix Römer worked on setting his texts to music. Together with the band Nachtfarben around the musician Martin Bosch, what was already pushing towards the stage was arranged in such a way that a multi-layered, sonorous and gripping program was created. Jazzy spheres as well as catchy pop lines, rhythmic arrangements meet poetry and transform unexpectedly into soundscapes through which Römer's verses lead. Pieces emerge that are tailor-made around Römer's sonorous, warm voice. In the process, the musical slyness of Nachtfarben and Römer's impartiality mesh perfectly. 

HOMEPAGE

OUT: Album 'Welcome Back Home' by Kati von Schwerin

Kati von Schwerin shows on her current album, in addition to the autobiographical and pictorial lyrics, again a fine sense for arrangements and soundscapes. Musically, she moves as usual in the genre of pop-rock, but this time with a loving penchant for synth sounds. Of course, one cannot avoid emphasizing the vocal presence of Kati von Schwerin. Because in a time in which artists are still purring quietly, Kati von Schwerin stands loudly against this as a counter-model. In a row with Kelsey Karter, Donna Missal or Elisa Toffoli, Kati von Schwerin is an expressive artist whose enormous vocal volume is nothing short of astonishing.
