Housemeister is back and guess what -- this time he only needed a handy little OP-1 synthesizer to make you feel giddy. But rewind: who is this master again? One of Berlin's long-standing techno maniacs. By the tender age of 17 he had been hit hard by punk, rap, grati, turntables, basement parties, Love Parade, Mayday, weed, 150 bpm, and legendary clubs like E-Werk, Tresor, Wal-sh, and Electric Ballroom. A heavy rave virus sucked up his body and soul, and in 1995 he moved to Kreuzberg to start producing high-energy music right from the middle of rave capital, Berlin. Some time later he released four albums with the BPitch collective and subsequently he seduced Europe with his intense techno. From then on, Housemeister kept riding the wave -- playing everywhere and every weekend. Finally he released his debut album Enlarge Your Dose on Boysnoize Records in 2005. In between he produced several EPs for BNR, launched the label All You Can Beat, and dropped on it with Who's That Noize?, another album that proved his party-crazy skills. Instead of resting, Housemeister continued to produce like a well-oiled machine and with 2011's Music Is Awesome album, he delivered overdriven arpeggios, punk rage, acid house psychedelic, and hard-style attacks. And now, he's back again to pad his heavy discography with another killer. Everything on OP-1 was made during his tour adventures with only his portable laboratory of sounds. The tracks on this concept album are called "Tokyo," "Berlin," "Paris," or "New York" and represent in sound the big city lights in whose shadow Housemeister tuned his brand-new tunes while being on the go: on airplanes and in hotel rooms. He recorded everything only with a little OP-1 synthesizer and made sure that his creativity bleeps like hell. Go ballistic to Housemeister's unique design of musical frenzy that wants nothing more than to drive you crazy.

LP version. Comes with a CD copy of the album. Housemeister is back and guess what -- this time he only needed a handy little OP-1 synthesizer to make you feel giddy.

"Housemeister set a high value on this 4 tracker 12". Just like with the attractive 4-color cover. About the music: 01_ bassline and bass drum are really pumpin' fat, nevertheless you can find classical song structures here. 02_ is a pretty soft but very groovy dancefloor track with the voice of Housemeister & good friend and muse Katrin Turner. 03_ 'Likelike' was arranged, composed and programmed with Playstation Portable at the beaches of Thailand. With the Rhythm 7 free software you are able to control everything with the joystick. You can find a 303, filters, sequencers and many more. Plus you are able to turn the knobs and involve your own samples... check that crazy shit. 04_ 'Radio4you' is not a classic dancefloor track, but has a bit of disco feeling in a industrialish and morbid style, more EBM than anything else -- featuring the romantic voice snippets of Katrin and that deep bassy voice of Housemeister himself."

"Berlin-based Housemeister from Bpitch Control and Doering from Freizeitglauben joined forces for their very own record label: Allyoucanbeat, meaning everything you can bolt down -- technoid substance to bite; else -- a platform for friends. As a launch they present 'Dertagdanach,' a melancholic minimal pumping 12": A1 'dertagdanach': A personal track to resolve the past. Introverted techno for the time after some experiences in the last two years. A new beginning with partly relief, partly a slight melancholy that goes with the melody. B1 'Cheerleaders': The cheerleaders keep time with their motto. Housemeister sampled them and put more drama to it with movie sound bites. B2 'Hotel mountpellier': A broken beat track, as dramatic as it is melancholic."
