BOXER 100EP
|
Peter Kruder - known as producer, DJ and one half of the electronic super-duo Kruder & Dormeister - delivers the perfect soundtrack for the 100th Boxer anniversary party. Stylistically confident, he crosses the areas of house, techno and dub and even touches the border of dubstep on the track "The Sign". The release with the plainly title Boxer 100 is not a knockout nor a right punch - Boxer 100 is a fleetingly skipping athlete who's strength comes from his verve. Just like a certain Frank Martiniq's Adriano (2001), 100 catalog numbers ago.

BOXER 098EP
|
Remember Le Dust Sucker? This Berlin/Basel-based duo made hearts leap for joy in the 2000s with tracks like "Mandate My Ass", "Love Me," or "Meanboy." Their first work since a contribution to 10 Years of Boxer (BOXER 090CD, 2012) opens with the cheerful, groovy "Dengue," a subtle masterpiece that sticks to your serotonin gland for quite a while. "Desire" works on the dancefloor too, although it refuses any categorization -- "electronic child-choral synth-dance" is a helpless attempt to clothe extraordinary music in profane words. "Great" slows things down with a brutish beat before the compelling '70s flair of "Crave."

Being "Lost" is a feeling. Mostly used in a negative term, we might forget that this could be a very positive thing, too. And this is what "Lost" is about. Being positive! A positive song equipped with a warm but pushing vibe and beautiful melodies that will work on beaches as good as it will work in clubs. The song has been tested for some months now and the feedback has been great. On the flip you find a more reduced and straighter version of the track by Florian Meindl. His remix is made for prime-times and fans of deep bass lines.

BOXER 096EP

Dusty Kid's The Anatome EP Vol.1 from 2007 was played madly in clubs around the globe at that time and even more many years later. These tracks come back to life here, remixed by Dusty Kid and Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai from Raster-Noton). While the Dusty Kid remix of "Kore" is an incredibly atmospheric but straight dancefloor pusher that seems to come straight out of Moria (the cave of the dwarves in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings), Alva Noto presents you to 300 ft. tall high-voltage electricity towers. You can almost feel the prickle on your skin with deep, cross-layered strings.

Boxer has always been one of the more athletic outlets among Kompakt's distribution labels, having become known for its sporty ambition and a highly competitive output. Every release is a little bit like an expertly-crafted, finely-tuned racing car, so it shouldn't come as a surprise when their engineers draw from all resources possible, collaborating with the best groove researchers and floor mechanics available. That's also how the Tuning series came to life where adrenalin is king: here, Boxer's approach to high-grade club machinery gets re-imagined by the world's leading remixing experts, a fruitful concept proven right by the fact that nearly every entry in the 12" series is completely sold out. For the Tuning compilation, Boxer hand-picked only the most powerful and aerodynamic tracks, putting together a prime racing team that includes luminaries like Dusty Kid, Le Dust Sucker, Gui Boratto, Extrawelt, and more. On remixing duties, you'll find both classic tastemakers and contemporary, such as Robag Wruhme, Catz N Dogz, Marek Hemmann or Pachanga Boys' Rebolledo, all of them presenting what can be counted as among their finest performances. An exhilarating ride awaits you, so get that engine up and running. Other artists include: Duoteque, My My, Rodriguez Jr., Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Frank Martiniq, Handycraft, Goldfish & der Dulz, Patrick Chardronnet, Dusty Kid, and Dave DK. Comes in a digipak.

With To Limn the Welkin Boxer Recordings presents an atmospheric and melodic piece of tech-house that shows a propensity to melancholia. Beside two dancefloor numbers, you'll find two intense and deep ambient tracks that will simply blow you away. Nhar aka Bernard Siefert (who is known for his work on Mobilee, Factor City, Plak, Correspondent, and many other labels) made something really special here.

The new Tuning features a Dave DK mix of Dusty Kid's "Jknoussa," which is a deep and melodic remix that unifies deepness, a perfect groove and a sense for melodies. On the B-side, Rebolledo, part of the Pachanga Boys, presents a spaced-out disco version of Le Dust Sucker's "Everybody Used To." If you like Lindstrøm's "I Feel Space," this remix should be up your street. Pressed on white vinyl.

Boxer is proud to present an extremely talented newcomer. Joachim Pastor's music is still at home in the already stressed minimal genre but gives new impulse and originality to it. Where else can you find functional dance music that creates pictures of Louis de Funés, Doctor Snuggles and red wine-drenched festivities? A record for clanking glasses, cheeky pranks and laughing faces.

It's Boxer's birthday, and how else does a label celebrate 10 amazing years, than with a compilation? More a favorite mix tape than a Best-Of-Everything, this full-length compilation doesn't tell you much about the label's back catalog or sales figures, but keeps things surprisingly focused within its 11 tracks, although it sports a bewildering variety of styles with each artist thinking outside the box. Already the first track, a dreamy, draft-like experience from the mind of Stephan Hinz, leaves a lot to the imagination, thus installing the frame for things to come. Kolombo and Von Spar both prowl the same funky hunting grounds, but present divergent results. Grade A grooves await the listener with Popnoname, tOMBo (feat. Schad Privat) and Paul Nazca, who all find new perspectives on the sound you'd expect from them. Let's not forget the not-so-secret centerpiece of this album, its heart and soul, Scalde's inspired ballad "We Drive Away." This song replaces the usual rave climax with a perfectly balanced, humanist flow full of wisdom and romanticism, informing the follow-up track by Le Dust Sucker in the most drastic way. Whereas this powerful production duo has become known for their furor, they crank up the serenity with "Everybody Used To," delivering a perfectly-formed pop gem. The same can be said about Robag Wruhme and Extrawelt, whose production skills reach dizzying heights with their contributions, upgrading the floor with broken beats and epic harmonies. In the end it's mostly the unconditional love for details and the dramaturgical subtlety that gives 10 Years Of Boxer its coherence, thus saying more about the quality of a label than a thousand Best-Of-All-You-Can-Hear derivatives this industry usually churns out in a matter of seconds.

This is the first solo release on Boxer Recordings from Patrick Chardronnet. As soon as you hear the first sounds of "Karma," your feet begin to tap along within the rhythm, you will lift your hands in the air, and your whole body will start dancing in the light breeze of the sounds. And although "Shanti" on the B-side may paint a picture of tranquility, serenity and happiness, it is spiced with enormously deep bass lines and a pushing groove.

"Polybolo" is a monster that drags you into the abyss and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Dusty Kid starts the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing of archaic natural forces only by means of pure synthetic tools. And in case you are not such a hard-raving member of society, you will find your satisfaction in Popof's stripped-down monster groove remix of "Argia" on the flipside.

Today, the pit lane is decorated with red carpet and golden leaf for two exceptional talents: from the Black Forest, Patrick Chardronnet for the Gui Boratto (BRA)-team, and from the Westerwald, Dominik Eulberg (GER) for the Extrawelt-team. The Gui Boratto/Patrick Chardronnet-team focuses on deep bass lines, a slightly shifted ideal line, and only one pit stop. Team-Extrawelt acts a bit more flexible, either putting on the handbrake or driving at full speed. His elegant turns make the audience go wild.

Paolo Alberto aka Dusty Kid loves travelling, no matter whether it is a trip through his own sensuous spheres of experience (like on his solo debut album A Raver's Diary in 2009), or a real road movie. Beyond That Hill takes the straight bass drum out of the club and plants it on the roadside. Beats are rushing past like power poles, a fresh breeze is blowing in your face, both literally and figuratively, and in front of you there is nothing but the vast horizon, a shimmering dance of coordinates. Dusty Kid wanders through luscious, epic landscapes of sounds. Hence, it is not surprising that some of his tracks hit the 10-minute mark without being tiring or exhaustive. You will rather find yourself gliding above the sounds, yet still close enough to admire all the wonderful details, and high enough to get a good view. The sounds are far more than just pure metaphysical mumbling or a series of meaningless loops and effects. The opener "Nora Nights" already starts at a tight pace, yet with a well-defined and delicately-balanced structure and ambience. Every single second, every single sound bit is essential. On "Jknoussa," Dusty Kid first plays the Grand Canyon tourist at the coin slot telescope; then, in the 14-minute floor-hugger "Argia," he turns into the adventurous mountaineer climbing between the jagged rocks along the abyss, suspended between heaven and earth, yet absorbing both at the same time. A little break at the campfire offers "Chentu Mizas" and "Beyond That Hill" with a rhythm guitar that invokes the ancestors under the moonlight, and helps you to get mentally prepared for "Polybolo" -- the monster that drags the mountaineer into the abyss, and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Gone are the friendly and crackling nostalgic sounds where vocals and strings were exchanging soft cotton balls -- now, the time has come to start the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. Constant knocking wears the stone: like the peak bagger who finds himself awe-struck by the earth's elemental forces, "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing, the archaic natural forces, only by means of pure synthetic tools. But soon after, the traveller gets his guitar back from "Cheyenne," peaceful and organic, but still pushing, thanks to precise footwork and a superbly-arranged frequency spectrum. And finally, "That Hug" pulls out all the stops again to sensibly recapitulate the way the audience has travelled so far. With grand gesture and universal aspiration, this unique and unforgettable trip comes to an end. And once again, Dusty Kid proves that he is the master of the album format. An ideal mix tape for some, highly imaginative cinema for others, but the result is always the same: it is a story to dance to, a road musical for adventurous people.

Dusty Kid presents an unusual acoustic near-death experience: Argia is the name of a spider indigenous to Sardegna. In Sardinian culture, there is a traditional dance that represents the various states of Argia poisoning, and it is used as an antidote against the spider bite. Dusty Kid comes up with a contemporary version: the slow-acting poison gradually builds up, creating hallucinating sound experiences until a trance and paralyzed state is reached. One-sided, limited, 180 gram vinyl.

"progress through stress") and "Wasteland" offer an abundant vision of futuristic melancholy constantly in motion while at the same time smooth and well-balanced, like the perfect mix between neon colors and different shades of grey. With "Yummy_Unbroken," you will be irresistibly drawn onto the main dancefloor.

The Different compilation is the result of meticulous and thorough work by the Boxer crew, with "otherness" as its overriding principle. Different is far from being just a hoarding of leftovers, it is rather conceived as a poison cabinet with doors wide open, a playground for free spirits and artists, and an open space far beyond the dancefloor dramaturgy and its rigid rules or common expectations. Some candidates involved in this project are already familiar with this freedom: Kreidler, for example, who come up with their full panoply of subtleties and the microscopic funk track "Venusia"; or Frank Martiniq, who reinterprets urban myths about intelligent cars or genetically-modified monster crocodiles living in the city's sewer system, and of course, in slow-motion and high-resolution. Others are obviously enjoying their time off from the 4/4: Pig&Dan present charming, smooth lo-fi pop; Extrawelt adjust their bore holes; Gui Boratto adds sound to psychotropic thrillers in the Brazilian jungle, and Florian Meindl meditates upon string ensembles taking a walk on the beach. Altogether, the quality of these tracks is exceptional, thanks to the pioneer spirit that drives the journey into unknown territories, and all electronic music artists know exactly what we are talking about. Even some of the artists involved are somehow different from Boxer's regular label artists. Nevertheless, the end-result of the Different compilation is coherent and thrilling, and might as well be called a masterpiece. Other artists include: Patrick Chardronnet, Goldfish & Der Dulz, Airbus Modular, Stephan Hinz, Matzak, &Iz, Popof, Arno Joey, Van Rivers, Paul Nazca, Fix & Fertig, Haito, Dean Demanuele, Khan & Mahmoud, Markus Lange, Dusty Kid, Odyzë, Rodriguez Jr., and Martin Eyerer.

In anticipation of a Duoteque retrospective, Boxer Recordings proudly presents this 12" teaser that is truly amazing. Apart from the gorgeous, mind-blowing "Intro" and the vibrant, house-y "Neon," Marascia and The Dolphins make themselves heard with remixes of classic Duoteque hits. Worth mentioning is Duoteque's not-so-secret star: the bass line. It's either fat and mighty, or fluffy and easy-going. And once the spark has ignited the flame, the party is on fire.

No doubt: Dusty Kid's album A Raver's Diary (BOXER 070CD) is among the Boxer catalog's highlights where the most versatile talent from Sardegna proves his excellent skills as "Master of Dramaturgy." However, this album almost makes you forget that he is the other half of Duoteque, a project founded together with Andrea Ferlin, and which has been put on hold since their enormous success in 2007. In the meantime, Ferlin has been busy, too. Together with Francesco Assenza, he has founded another label with the apt title Sleep Is Commercial, has released a number of EPs, and has been DJing at a number of fantastic clubs worldwide. Since 2009, Dusty Kid and Andrea Ferlin have been working together again, and now, in order to adequately celebrate their reunion, Boxer presents a great Duoteque collection on two CDs. Apart from many bonus tracks including some exclusive remixes of Duoteque hits made by Marascia, The Dolphins and Pig & Dan, it is Dusty Kid's Duoteque megamix that may be regarded as the centerpiece of this release. It represents a collection of the best of the complete Duoteque oeuvre, and it is the first time that some of the greatest Boxer releases are now available for non-vinyl spotters, too. Next to all three tracks released on the best-selling Boxer 12" so far -- You Know All About Drags EP -- Dusty Kid adds a number of other jewels to the mix: the spooky spoken-word track "Lola" for example, top tracks such as "Adyra" or "Bilk," and the basement funk of "Amarcord" -- the whole spectrum of Duoteque embedded in a fantastic flow and a variety of layers that once again proves Dusty Kid's narrative skills. An endless cycle of opening and closing spaces, a gradually rising temperature, and percussive workouts are followed by highly inspired space-opera melodies. But Duoteque's (not that) secret star is the bass sound that sometimes comes along deep and mighty, and sometimes in a rather light-footed way. The audience is immersed in the kicking, hypnotizing sounds and breaks that explode right into your face. In the past, every single track already laid waste to dancefloors, and you can imagine what will happen if they're presented in a whole bunch.

This is the second full-length album from France's Matzak. The smart Frenchman and full-time professional pharmacist knows best about the alchemy of an eclectic combination, and the well-balanced mix of the necessary ingredients. His open-hearted and inviting debut album Life Beginnings (BOXER 047CD) was a kind of "omnium gatherum" he skillfully combined with a most appealing result. On Bring Me The Moon, Matzak applies a far more broader spectrum: he makes the sounds literally breathe, and gives each track its very own, individual pace with alternating straight and broken beats, smooth, delicious melodies and perfect bass lines. In other words: marvelous swinging sounds for your body and mind. The album-opener "On The Sofa" starts with a fitness-clubbish bass. Sometimes it pretends to be the illegitimate grandson of the Beastie Boys, sometimes to be Moloko's secret twin-sister. And without feeling guilty, Matzak even turns the radio on in order to entertain the first guests -- Californian singer Tori adds a few superbly-placed vocal lines, in addition to Sourya and Forensic. But instead of getting stuck and well-fed at the foyer, "Unpredictable Sunday" and "Disco Mobster" start boarding the main floor. Rolling strings and a fresh monster bass are the first signs of a deep euphoria. Matzak slows down and starts all over again in a completely different way with "In The Jazz Garden," featuring a virtuoso piano. Matzak enriches the romantically rainy "Argos" and the precisely funky title track with so many vitamins, that in the end, the listener is convinced that he has discovered a long-lost DJ Shadow song. But apart from the nicely pastel-colored atmospheres, Matzak never forgets the floor: with "Stockholm 1973 Rework," a vivid vocal song, or "Magneto," a funky, stumbling track, he presents two stunning draft versions of what might become the best club tunes ever. You won't believe your ears when you listen to this wealth of ideas.
