LAID 016EP
|
Here are some fireworks to start the house music year with another Various Artists EP on Laid Records, Dial's lovely subdivision. Palisade aka Redshape comes up with an outstanding journey into avant-garde, based on the feedback of Steve Reich's "Pendulum Music." Moomin is back with another lovely tune -- simply on-point, direct to the heart. Lastly, RNDM begs the question: when will the first RNDM album finally be released? These three tracks prove that house music is here to stay.

Richard von der Schulenburg aka RVDS presents with "Moon Oddity" the real house music soundtrack to a weekend's journey into outer space. This eccentric 12" is the result of playing his synths and drum computers virtually like no other. Dance music has never been so quirky, wacky, jacky -- far out deep inside.

Lawrence is back on his co-owned Laid imprint with a real house music series -- Never As Always. As a favorite in Carsten Jost's CD-R box, "Rise" seemed to be one of those magic deep house tunes, whether it was at the Dial Allnighter residency at Panorama Bar, the Laid Nights at Cookies Berlin or some fancy hangout at the label-chief's apartment. Now, for the first time only on vinyl, Never As Always (Pt. 1) comes with two dub versions by Sten.

Redshape founded his new project Palisade to release the worldwide debut single "So What?" on Dial's house sub-label Laid. Now, after half a decade of success, including releases on Present, Delsin, Music Man, Styrax Leaves and remixes for Newworldaquarium, The Black Dog, Martyn and many others, a new moniker is born to work out the deeper side of Redshape. Once more the love of the machines turns slightly into the myth of house music.

After 10 vinyl-only singles the Dial sub-label Laid releases a selection of essential house music masterpieces for the first time on CD. Since Dial brought up its eccentric family business in 2000, the love for true house music was always one main inspiration. Highly inspired by the U.S.-based music, a label was needed to be the cosmopolitan sister of Dial. Inviting protagonists like Jus-Ed, Keith Worthy, Patrice Scott, Fred P. and many others from the United States to the legendary Dial Allnighters, exchanging tracks and ideas, and launching a thousand DJ sets worldwide, this is where the concept for Laid was built. It began in May 2009 with Detroit legend Rick Wade -- a very classical start. Followed by tracks and 12"s by artists like John Roberts, Fred P., Marcello Napolitano, Lowtec, Christopher Rau and many more, Laid has fulfilled a whole range of styles from traditional to contemporary, from sweet to dark, from clean to rough. Here is a compilation that shows how deep, fresh and colorful the Laid sound still is. House music is here to stay. Other artists include: Lawrence, RNDM, Smallpeople, Kassem Mosse and Black Jazz Consortium.

Dial's sub-label Laid presents tracks by UK's Juergen Junker and Lowtec. Junker enters the Laid zone with two deeply-rooted house pieces. Lowtec has always been a main influence on the Dial/Laid family, and here he presents a dirty Rhodes stomper to hit the house floors again. Freaky alert!

From the great success of Smallville's first label compilation And Suddenly It's Morning (SMALL 002CD), a new deep house collective evolved: The Smallpeople aka Dionne, Steinhoff & Hammouda, Jacques Le Bon and Christopher Rau. Hanging at their record store, DJing together and exchanging beats and samples made the lovely Hamburg house gang around Smallville owners Julius Steinhoff and Just von Ahlefeld (aka Dionne) a new source of deepest club culture.
