CYRK - Chappers Said So
12” (+ download) Tracklist A1) Superior Things A2) Heatwave B1) Chappers Said So (Voiski Remix) B2) Chappers Said So Infotext CYRK, the Belgian-German duo of Sammy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel, is giving its debut release on Vakant with three fast-paced no-holds-barred electro jams topped off with a remix by French producer Voiski. 'Superior Things', the eponymous title track, kicks off the EP with driving funk and and acid lead synths, followed by 'Heatwave', another futuristic high-tech-funker. On the flip we have 'Chappers Said So', a sublime homage to classic Detroit electro and last but definitely not least Voiski's remix of the latter, an immersive and trance-inducing techno re-work for you to get lost in.

12” (+ download) Tracklist A1) Ate-Up A2) Crisis Engine B1) Alex, Why? (Maenad Veyl Edit) B2) Alex, Why? (AQXDM Remix) Infotext Forever cursed with “deep-“ and “tech-house” labels by the press due to decisions taken 10 years ago before he had any idea how this industry worked, Avatism returns mildly angrier than ever before with ‘Ate-Up’, an EP the producer actually started writing during an MDMA-induced lucid dream after Vakant label boss spiked his drinks in 2011. To give his poor soul some credibility, we’ve enlisted AQXDM (Aquarian & Deapmash, fresh from their storming debut on Bedouin Records) and the mysterious Maenad Veyl (Veyl, Pinkman, Death & Leisure) on remix duties.

Tracklist: A1) Seria A2) Mais Sus B1) Cu Balans (Varhat Remix) - VINYL ONLY B2) Cu Balans Infotext: Consistency and a diverse but functional aesthetic have kept Berlin based record label Vakant ahead of most imprints operating in the same space. Having released records since 2004 they have focused on working with only a select number of artists as they believe this is the only way to endure in a scene which is susceptible to trends, with Premiesku being part of the family as well as the likes of DeWalta and Avatism. Having already released a highly successful EP on the label in 2014, and more recently being a part of the labels latest anniversary compilation, 10 Years Vakant, the Romanian trio return with a driving four track EP. This EP features catchy melodies, vivid emotion and driving, floor-focussed percussion, which consists of three original tracks as well as the ever-dependable Varhat stepping up on remix duties. One of Frances most exciting exports, Varhat has already released a string of impressive records on labels such as Mulen and Howl. His interpretation of 'Cu Balans' brings a signature sound which portrays a lighter more bouncy feel to the track. Premiesku which consists of Livio & Roby and George G are a Romanian joint alias that have been releasing and performing together for over nine years. Their widespread influence on the flourishing underground scene is no secret, their innovative live performances, and constant flow of cutting edge productions remain one of their nation's leading lights in the field.

Tracklist A1) I Was Warned About People Like Us A2) Self Control B1) Gunmetal Grey B2) Too Patient To Wait Infotext After a 3 year hiatus from his Avatism moniker, Thomas Feriero, one half of CW/A and owner of Parachute records, returns with an EP for his home label Vakant. A rough yet refined release, unassuming in its effort, Thomas channels both his previous solo work and his CW/A project into a tightly wound package with 4 solid cuts. Various influences converge yet a straight line is etched for all to follow. These are up-front, hard working tracks. Body Music with an undercurrent of breakbeat. His first EP on Vakant since his album. File under need / want.

Tracklist: A1) Octogonal Library B1) Betelgeuse Descent B2) Black Head Junction Infotext: Vakant comes back with a very special release from an unknown group of creative entities. Three cuts of tribal space techno weaponry aimed at the dancefloor. We have received a message from entities lost in between the stars in the vacuum of interstellar space. The transmission was encrypted in an ancient code we were able to translated into frequencies understandable to earthlings. A psychic telegram has been sent to us, activating the body and the mind, divided into aggregations of codes that form three tracks of straight in your face, high-octane fueled, acidic tribal techno, riding on solid bass lines, trippy synths, shiny percussions and abstract ambiences.

EAN/UPC: 827170588264 12" Tracklist: A1) Vortex A2) Unreason B1) Vortex (Cristi Cons Remix) B2) Vortex (Fango Remix) Infotext: It's not a simple thing to write about your own tunes. Your concept is innate, the music itself is in your mind and comes out as a natural flow, talking about it is a different thing. This time I wanted to come up with something different for my new EP on Vakant. Something unexpected for the ones who know Cesare vs Disorder's sound. I wanted to make a few tunes that reminded me about those lost feelings of the 90s, when electronic music was made not only for the clubs but also for the soul and the mind, not directly for a purpose but as a natural answer to time and space. After the classic "orientation" battle with head-honcho Alex we finally agreed on these tunes "Vortex" and "Unreason", one I would say more spaced out and heavy orientated, the other almost resembling those Electronica times when I really enjoyed flying with my brain and my emotions. We finally also agreed to add a couple of remixes of Vortex by Romanian rising star Cristi Cons and Italian talent Fango. They both delivered unique stellar interpretations and I am happy to present the project to the world. Cesare

UPC 827170562165 RD: 15.09.2014 12" Tracklist: A1) Conducting The Method A2) Sothis B1) Modern Conflict Theory B2) Sothis (Dead Heat Remix) Info: After first performing together at Sonar Festival with what was essentially a live version of our respective "B.O.A.T.S." and "Adamant" albums, Thomas and I decided to expand on these ideas for something more broad and improvisation-centric. After months in the studio drinking nothing but amaretto and working on new music for this purpose, our new live experiment (now simply called CW/A) was ready. The reception on these shows was so (thankfully) positive that Vakant eventually pressured us into releasing some sections as tracks. "Conducting the Method" is nothing other than a sample of what this new project is about: a collection of three excerpts taken from this year's performances. To round things off, we invited over our friends Dead Heat for a reinterpretation of one of our tracks. We can state with confidence that we are excited these tracks are no longer confined to our club and festival performances and can't wait for everyone to hear them. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as we enjoy playing them out. Francesco

UPC 827170555969 RD: 28.07.2014 12" Tracklist: A1) Pe Dos A2) Noococ (Sons of Tiki Remix) B1) Pe Dos (Avatism Remix) B2) Trandafirit Info Sitting down and writing about our latest EP was a fun but challenging exercise, we scratched our heads and this may sound bad but we couldn't think of deep, dark interesting stories on how we made these tracks or what they represent. These jams are simply a combination of previous and random happy accidents that have come together and saying anything else would be a lie. This however does not mean that the thinking behind them is completely random, the three cuts that we selected for this EP we feel are a journey of experimentation and a culmination of unexpected sounds and feelings. A word that we found best described the EP was 'Irony'. The most ironic thing we feel is that the main basis of these tracks were born on the stage during our live performances and they have now been reworked and moulded into a record. We however feel that this brings an interesting element to the EP that yes it is recorded and set, but you are not quite sure where the next sound or feeling will come from. A hi hat? A kick? It is pure 'organised randomness'... I suppose we should talk about some of the music and try and explain what we mean! We start with 'Pe dos', which in plain English means inside out and it was a track that we had started back in 2011. We were flicking through our 'curiosity closets' one day and found it, we played around with it and heard a kick drum that was not arranged correctly in the sequence due to a random manipulation of the sequencer. Our first thought was to just change it, but then we decided to wait..... when all the other sounds of the tracks came together we threw the kick back in and BAM, Even the acapella voice of the track was screaming. Therefore it was a simple for us to name this track as we worked on it in a completely back to front and "Inside Out" way! The other two tracks on the EP were born in a similar way, reborn again out of the dark corners of our packed 'curiosity closet'. The track 'Noococ' is perhaps the track with the most irony on the EP. Having been made originally after an amazing gig at Amnesia in Ibiza in 2012, we were in a recording frame of mind which gave the song its basis but we would still play it within our live shows. 'Noococ' has been therefore from recorded track, to live and now back to recorded in a quite weird but groovy journey. The final track, 'Trandafirit' has no such meaning. It is again a raw track stemming our live show some time ago that inspired us to recreate and retouch. Again through experiments and lots of head banging on walls, we recreated and accomplished a track that stayed true to the original writing of it but also embodied change which in a way is symbolic of the development of our project over the years. Now, we did warn you at the beginning of this wordy mess that it has been 'organised randomness' that has brought us to create these tracks and this EP, but one thing we are sure about is that we knew we would love to and be very honoured is to be able to put out this collection of cuts via Vakant. A label that has been close to our hearts and heads for a long time. We hope you enjoy the EP and that the music can help translate some of the shit above. Much Love! Livio, Roby & George

quantum entanglement (feat fink & mentri - need you feat fink
UPC 827170548367 RD: 10.06.2014 12" Tracklist: A) Quantum Entanglement - Acid Thunder feat. Mentrix AA) Quantum Entanglement - Need You feat. Fink Infotext For the second instalment from Quantum Entanglement we delve into the misty past, a time when moving parts ruled the dance, when the power of the night rested on a needle and a bassline, and before CDJs calculated the bpm for you...you had to touch things, buy things, and the bassline ruled over all. Acid Thunder, a classic by Fast Eddie, was the first dance record i ever bought. It was important. The guy who sold it to me, at the time a spotty school kid in his school uniform, was called John Stapleton, and the shop was Sidetrax in Bristol. Mentrix totally gets the kinda NY sluttiness of the original, and brings it right up to date....less of a cover, more of a homage, the entanglement of then and now. Need You is an entanglement of two very unlikely BFFs... John Lee Hooker and Joey Beltram. This isn't really a cover, it's more like the offspring of many things, times, and moments - it's like the grandchild of John Lee Hooker's track dated the nephew of Joey Beltram's track and lived in Neukölln. Again, Direct - "Techno Gone Mad" on R&S was another of my earliest techno purchases - at the time it was considered "Dutch Hardcore" but now, it's almost cute.... Quantum Entanglement....recycling other people's good ideas since January 2014" Fin Greenall

Federico Rizzo (DeWalta Remix) B2) Avatism - Bitter Reminiscence feat. Clockwork (C/W) (Fairmont Remix) Hey everyone, It's me again. I'm sipping coffee and staring at this Mac's calendar, suddenly realising it's already been more than 4 months since the release of "Adamant". I think thank-yous are way overdue so I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone involved in the project as these have been a really amazing four months. Enough nonsense and let's back to business, or the purpose of this text: I (drumroll) proudly present the final 5 re-interpretations from some talented friends. It's an honour for me to have Francesco's techno, David's modular madness, Jake's synthwork and Martin's melodies all in one package, but being both fan and friend of everyone on board I'd be blatantly biased in describing this record's contents. So, since it's 2014, why don't we switch banalities, skip the "description" and "let the music do the talking" (ugh, did I really just write that?) Thank you all! PS. Seriously, does anyone read these anymore? T

Blue Mountain Club D) Not Everything is Lost, Mastodon For over 12 months Thomas Feriero AKA Avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. He moved to Berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to Milan. Poof! Just Like that. So what did this year entail exactly? Well for some of us not much. We got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. While this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. Adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music. It's less than 2 years since his first gig yet in that time he's managed to craft killer EPs on Vakant and Dumb Unit, collaborated with Clockwork & Mind Against (who both make appearances on the album) played diverse shows including SONAR By Night and generally had a really good run at it all. While many would be content simply continuing on this already exciting path, Thomas decided that Adamant was a chance to explore other forms of writing production & collaboration and imposed strict conditions so that Adamant would evolve differently than his earlier works. "I imposed mandates on myself while making it: The tracks (the music, at least) had to be written in a day. "Written", not mixed, arranged or produced, simply "written" and even though I was convinced the album was going into a different/wrong direction approximately 292829 times while making it I decided to follow through on all the musical parts that I developed in these one day cycles." As an artist and friend it is alway inspiring to see something take shape from its single (Logic) cell beginnings to the ornate abstractness where it now resides. It is an album that exudes a depth and immediacy, the restrictions and exile only strengthening Thomas' depth and detailing. The uncertainty, the melancholy, the general studio stink now neatly wrapped into a glittering whole that we're pretty confident the world will enjoy. J.Caufield

UPC 827170135628 Release: 27.01.2014 12" Tracklist: A) Quantum Entanglement - The Effects Can Last Forever (heads) B) Quantum Entanglement - The Effects Can Last Forever (tails) Quantum Entanglement is one of the strangest phenomena in the Universe, overcoming barriers of space and time and knitting the entire cosmos into an integrated whole. Fin Greenall (Fink, Sideshow) and myself Lee Jones (Hefner, MyMy) met at college in the early nineties and played a lot of chess to the soundtrack of Aphex Twin and Future Sound of London. Fin taught me the guitar. I taught Fin Cubase. We shared our first releases together as EVA on Kickin' Records, then Ninja Tune. I started a band, Hefner, while Fin was mainly a DJ. Then we switched. Fin became a singer-songwriter, I moved to Berlin and formed MyMy with Nick Höppner, then started to DJ. We followed our own paths which have often crossed, remixing each other's music, helping each other with our writing, and releasing on Aus Music (which Fin started with Will Saul), but we've always wanted to really collaborate again. Between my studio in Berlin, Fin's studio in Brighton, and various studios, hotels and airports around the world, that project has finally taken the shape of Quantum Entanglement. Two separate worlds linked by friendship and a feeling that goes back to those early days of ambient, dub, chess and incense, now made possible by the internet. Files, old tracks, samples and words are flying back and forth, eventually forming 2 versions of a song. Heads and Tails. Question and Response. Move and Counter-Move. The game has begun. Lee Jones, Berlin, October 2013

Since the whole project was, generally-speaking, "a personal affair" and a lot of the album was not necessarily "club-ready" (does that even make sense?), we invited our friends on board to do the dirty deeds for me and rework my sounds into something normal people can dance to. First up are Mind Against. I've known these guys for a long time, and despite them being somewhat "new" to the scene, I clearly remember them fiddling around with cheap cracked software like the rest of us Milanese idiots around the same time. Matured into true synth magicians, they've been years in the making and, if you ask me, it shows. Next is Alex Smoke, who I believe needs no introduction. Probably one of my biggest influences, I have been a fan for ages and he is the reason I discovered Vakant. In case you've been living under a rock, after a little break he's now back with a bang, responsible for probably one of the year's best LPs (as Wraetlic), an outstanding EP on the legendary R&S and now this. I've had the pleasure of finally meeting and hanging out with Alex a few times while we were both living in Berlin and I have to say he's exactly as awesome. His remix totally destroys my original, which I thought sounded "fat" but now sounds like a skinny girl in Barbie clothes in comparison. Lake People (actually just one Lake Person, Martin Enke) is another really nice guy who just happens to make great music. After months of people telling me I should check his stuff out, mentioning we had a lot of things (sound-wise) in common, I had the pleasure of playing after him in Paris. His liveset totally rocked the place and I've been a fan since, so it was a pleasure to have him on board. Last but not least, new Vakant boys Sons of Tiki round off the package with a club-oriented version of "Blackened". I guess that's all. I'm not very good at this marketing hype thing, and upon re-reading this it actually made little sense, nor is it particularly inviting. Whatever the case I hope you enjoy listening, playing or partying to this as much as we did making it: I assure you the music is better than this writing. T.

barcode: 827170510760 release: 15.07.2013 Tracklist: A: Plato B: Locke As much as it´s fun to read a personal text, it´s a pain for the artist himself (or at least for me) to write or say something about my music. Don't get me wrong, i like these personal texts. They support the release in a nice way, but having to talk about my music or style always seems awkward and it happens too much in interviews anyway. So one thing is for sure: i am not going to explain my music, my "style", tag it with some kind of genre or give an idea or explanation with words, what kind of music it is or how it sounds. If you want to get an idea, simply listen to the Tracks. Now. Since i won't be talking about music, I thought I´d give you a brief idea of what was going on in my brain and what I was thinking, reading and researching lately about the world, the human thought, physical, nonphysical and metaphysical things. This record, the "Thinkers EP" was heavily inspired by these thoughts and research. I stumbled upon an essay about metaphysics, which caught my interest so i started researching. Metaphysics looks at the things behind ("meta") the physical appearance and its relationship to the non-physical appearance. It asks questions about existence, objects and beings and their properties, about time and space, cause and effect as well as possibility. During the time i was working on this music i especially read about Plato and his approach to metaphysics. He, as Socrates student started to implemented and respect the physical world in philosophy, other then Socrates who said everything physical is irrelevant and only a shadow of an ideal, "the perfect" (non-physical).

Sons of Tiki, - Moon Waltz
827170487260 Release: 25.02.2013 12" Tracklist: A) Seven Changes B1) Moon Waltz (Mathias Kaden's Tiki Taka Remix) B2) Moon Waltz For everything there is a first time: making your first track, releasing a first record, and writing a press-sheet for the first time. One a bit more exciting then the other ;)) As words are not so important, and only the music counts, we still wanted to give you a bit more insight into our tracks. So here we go: 'Seven Changes' came after reading an article of Rudolph Steiner, a teacher of anthroposophy, we believed this suits well for our start as artists. Every Seven Years You Change. Most cells in your body are renewed over a period of time. Does your personality change, too? ARE you the same person now that you were fifteen years ago? In fact, are you the same person you were just seven years ago? 'Moon Waltz' started out by messing around with several jazz samples, without having a real intension of making a track with it. After a while it sounded quite nice and eventually it came out as a sort of rhythm that formed the basics of it all. The name 'Moon Waltz' explains the atmosphere that surrounds the track, giving it a moody alienated feeling at some points.. For a track that's been made almost a year ago, it's very cool to finally see the light. If you're still awake after reading this we want to thank Mathias for his great remix and continuous support and for starting all this! Hope you'll like it and thanks for listening! The Sons

This is the future of the music industry. Not the music, just the idea of the artists writing their own PR faffle. Next year I'll probably have to carry my own bags on tour too…….tragic. I have had a few years of working on other projects and shuffling about in loose trousers, but now I feel the time has come to release some more music for feet and floors. What I should say is that every time I tried to write techno/house/moonbeat in the last couple of years, everything came out as shitty tech-house…..The brain was just in an alternate mode, a mode for classical music and melody, but now it seems to have come back to techno so I here present some of its recent outpourings. It belched out Polka the first night I got back to Scotland, having left London. BabaYaga is named after a sinister-as-hell witch from a Russian story book we had as kids (check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga) clearly designed to traumatise young minds. My traumatised mind made this tune, so it has come full circle. Mu is slower, for lazy, emotional dancers. I hope you will enjoy them and the excellent Sons of Tiki mix of Polka that accompanies them….. Send all hate mail to Vakant, I don't read it. Alex

Nico Purman, - The Bubble
Nico Purman returns to Vakant with his most technoid record since his 2009 VA025 Euphrasia EP. A cut 'The Bubble' reveals the direction Nico is taking with this EP. Contemporary techno with a classic touch and the distinctive twist that is characteristical for Purman's works. B-side 'Blow My Mind' slackens the pace a little bit and gives room for more trippy yet groovy moments on the floor later in the morning. Mind bending.

This record 'Flivvers Vol.2' is the second volume in a story of the end of one love one life, and the beginning of a new love and new life even greater than I had known before. It is a story of total life transformation and risk taking. Of following blindly ones own dreams and desires without fear. Each song is giving you more detail to the events that transcribe my life into vinyl. You may not know now my name, you may not know my face, but if you know my music you know my life, my joys, and my sorrows. If you know my music you know my heart.... Thank you. Anonym

Avatism, - We Were
Unusually for a record (for me, at least), "Constants" collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent I've only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. I really wish the story behind this EP would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but I'm afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock'n'roll involved. All four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. I could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. However, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music, you might want to wait a little bit longer: hopefully some smart blogger will skip through the SoundCloud previews for you and describe them in detail using words he learned a few minutes prior to posting it on the internet. Anyway, I'm really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label I have always looked up to like Vakant. I really used to think Smoke, Kaden and Ozer were aliens at some point. Hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as I loved writing and playing it out. T PS: I was kidding about the blogger thing. Bloggers, I love you.

Global Superstar DJ Tolga Fidan is back. After playing on the world's biggest stages alongside the best DJs. Charted by every living organism on our earth, Tolga Fidan is back with what could be a grammy award winning record. No no, just kidding. It’s me. Tolga. And this is my album's info sheet. I know it’s becoming a bad habit to write my own info sheets but otherwise it ends up sounding like the paragraph above. It portrays you like a galactic avenger that's been changing the rules of the game we call music over and over again. Which is obviously utter crap. What it doesn’t say is how miserable you look while doing it. I have discovered that I talk out loud to myself. Yes i do that. It's borderline sanity. Anyways what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. This album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar. 3 machines gave up on me during the making of this LP. Lazy bastards. I hope you will like it. Tolga.

Charted by every living organism on our earth, Tolga Fidan is back with what could be a grammy award winning record. No no, just kidding. It’s me. Tolga. And this is my album's info sheet. I know it’s becoming a bad habit to write my own info sheets but otherwise it ends up sounding like the paragraph above. It portrays you like a galactic avenger that's been changing the rules of the game we call music over and over again. Which is obviously utter crap. What it doesn’t say is how miserable you look while doing it. I have discovered that I talk out loud to myself. Yes i do that. It's borderline sanity. Anyways what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. This album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar. 3 machines gave up on me during the making of this LP. Lazy bastards. I hope you will like it. Tolga.

Livio & Roby, - Shinichi
After their Vakant debut in 2011, exactly one year later the Romanian duo Livio & Roby is back with their latest creation for the label. ‘Shinichi’, Hatzumoto’s little sister for the ones who know, is a proper 2 track EP, both cuts in unmistakeble romanian tech manner, raw, driving and twisted as only inhabitants of the Carpathian Mountains can deliver. As a digital bonus you’ll find ‘Just Us’, Livio & Roby’s more deep approach on modern electronic music and the perfect appendix for this EP.

Jeremy & Walker, - After The Eclipse

Jeremy & Walker, - Bedouin
Bedouin The Essence of ‚Bedouin’ came from a long studio jam. While jamming I told Walker of an experience I had after visiting my parents in Dubai. I returned home and played at Watergate until early morning, I felt overwhelmed from what I had seen in one day: the skyscrapers of Dubai, the stunning beauty of the desert, the return home. Everything seemed so surreal, Walker had lived in Santa Fe and knew the power of the desert. We spoke of how nomads & Bedouins lived with a great lack of permanence and commented how DJ's & musicians are similar. Eventually we jammed all night, developing the hook while Walker added detail and instrumentation. We barely spoke. At the end, we sat silently and agreed "there's our ‚Bedouin’." Jeremy P Caulfield After the Eclipse The idea for ‚After the Eclipse’ arrived in my brain while playing an after party in San Francisco. The spot looked out towards the downtown skyline. As the party progressed, the moon rose and a lunar eclipse became the sublime backdrop for our gathering. Back in Berlin I transcoded the feelings and thoughts into a sketch. At this point Jeremy and I were deep into finishing Bedouin and hitting our stride in the studio. Our conversations from years together had become a shared musical framework, causing the sketch to evolve fairly effortlessly. We passed sessions back and forth elaborating and then distilling. After separate New Years escapades, we merged the directions until finally, ‚After the Eclipse’ jumped out of the monitors. Walker Barnard

Anonym, - Believe in Love
In recent times it has been fashionable for European producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of Detroit. The true vibe and feel can surely only come from the City itself? As his name suggests, whilst we know very little about Anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary Motor City, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. Classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. Gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements. In 2011 Anonym has finally arrived on Vakant and is set to release his first record on the label. His ‚Flivvers Vol.1 EP’ will be followed by Vol.2 later this year.

Once again, with spring, comes another addition to Vakant’s fruitful and ever expanding family. We welcome the man formally known as Cesare vs. Disorder, for the first time releasing under his given name Cesare Marchese. In such a short period of time, Cesare has amassed quite a discography and legion of fans around the world who follow him wherever he goes. Yet another formally trained musician in the Vakant camp, Cesare’s music has progressed a great deal since his first release in 2006. Every release drips with more and more depth and melody. His Aether EP debut for Vakant yet again proves why Cesare’s accent is unstoppable. While just a 4 track ep, the Aether EP covers much ground spanning afterhour afternoons to indie influenced incorrigibility, but always with that certain kink and freak that comes from a background of techno and global trotting nightlife revelry. To say deep and freaky would not be enough. To say anything would not be enough. These are tracks that must be experienced and not written about. From complete house electronics, to altered acoustic uplifts, to deep orbit accents, it’s all here courtesy of our new Sicilian Cesare.

“I just woke and it’s pretty cold outside. I haven't opened the window yet, but I somehow know it and I'm listening to these six tracks again and try to make an approximation of why and how I have done this EP. They are pretty different from each other but tell the same story or at least are part of the same one as a matter of fact. Maybe they were done as an excuse for my overdue album which is scheduled again for this year or maybe just because I was going through some odd times and needed to immerse myself in doing something. In this case music. More the latter I guess. Ok so, the opening track is in a way the end of an era and the last one the opening of a fresher one. And the rest fills in the gaps in between those two moments I guess. I hate conceptual things anyways. I never know or want to know why I do certain things. Concepts define something before it already begins its existence and trying to explain why is pretty useless. So here it is. The recording of a certain period of time in my tiny existence. With collaborations with Jaw (dOP), my brother Atilla, who is also responsible for the artwork, and Jonny Cruz. By the time it's out it'll be a distant memory for me but hope it lasts a bit longer for anyone that listens to it.” Tracklisting: A1) Dogs & Bones feat. Jaw A2) Seduction feat. Atilla Fidan B) Torega C) Esprit Perdu feat. Jonny Cruz D1) Softly D2) Strip

Nico Purman, - Kosmik
The ever evolving ever inspiring Argentinean turned Berliner musical talent that we call out Nico Purman, once again honors the House of Vakant with his latest disco inspired offering to the Gods entitled Visions EP. In such a short period of time Nico has come so far both physically and meta-musically. Within just a few releases one can easily hear him developing, maturing, and mastering his chosen art medium. From the mechanical tech funk of his Tuesday EP (VA017) and Euphrasia EP (VA025), to the space jazz masterpiece that was Rhapsodies (VA032), his first step toward disco was in fact with his contribution ‘Xpress Yourself’ to the Family Values compilation (VA034). With Visions EP, once again Nico effortlessly transgresses whatever style he wishes and makes it his own. Taking a few pages from the book of disco as well as a touch of Chicago and a pinch of early New York house, Nico both tips his hat to those influences as well as taking things several steps further to create something completely original.

Livio & Roby, - Hatzumoto Song
To kick off 2011 Vakant presents Romanian rising stars Livio & Roby, the first new artists to join the label since 2008. After cutting their teeth on some of the biggest labels and world stages, Livio & Roby impart their excellent deep funk laden grooves on their first record for the perfectionist House of Vakant. A side ‘Hatzumoto Song’ is nothing short of a siren song seducing any passerby or dance floor reveler, ship wrecking them on Livio & Roby’s divine private island. Deeply organic yet firmly routed in tech funk, the track floats effortlessly across time and dimension with perfectly sculpted groove and ambience. Gracing the B side ‘Moduri’ picks things up a bit with a classic upbeat - downbeat house rhythm while strange and eluding synths carry Livio & Roby’s now signature flow of musical zest and smile inducing body motivation. Finally the digital only ‘Resoftescu’ completes the 35th installment of Vakant’s life companion series with the push-pull of dark moody synths and uplifting acoustic piano chords. Combined with the steady cadence of tasteful percussion, the sounds meld to produce a gliding mélange of soothing beauty.

Mathias Kaden, - Ikenga
The third and final remix package for Mathias Kaden’s masterpiece album ‘Studio 10’ comes along with two reworks of Mathias’ Vakant label mates Onur Özer and DeWalta. Onur Özer’s ‘Hâre Remix’, a massive, bass driven rework for Kaden`s ‘Chazz’, takes the track to a deeper, more jazzy level, until it fades out with a dreamy yet abstract melody after 11 minutes and counting. David Koch aka DeWalta takes on ‘Ikenga’ (an African god of time, success and achievement), which is surely Kaden’s most played track of the album. David maintains the acidic vibe of the original, adds his very own funk and sends the track back to the dance floor. To top of this journey through the Vakant universe, you can find a digital exclusive remix on Beatport, Whatpeopleplay and co.: DeWalta’s Stompy Remix.

After the digital release of the 8-track ‚Family Values’ compilation late summer this year, Vakant is ready to follow up with a Family Values EP this autumn. 4 selected tracks have made it onto the black gold, even we`re loving each tune like a mother loves her umh.. eight children. Mathias Kaden presents a 2010 edit of his first ever solo release ‚Circle Pit’ (VA004!), followed by DeWalta’s deep but yet bouncing ‚Stinger Bell’ string experience. On the flip, this EP opens up with Nico Purman`s ‚Xpress Yourself’ which lands somewhere between Rick James and Francois K, followed by Alex Smoke`s freaky ‚I-73 Night’ which, to quote Vakant pal Tolga Fidan, is ‚A reminder of how dance music should have been if it hadn’t gone generic...its punk.`We agree.

LISTED FOR REPRESS! Late in 2009 Mathias Kaden’s debut album ‘Studio 10’ was released and a flood of attention ensued. The readers from Groove, Germany's most important music magazine, voted ‘Studio 10’ the top album of the year. Correspondingly it also received a flood of positive feedback from the scene's most important DJs. Overall no small feat in todays crowded market. Fast forward to 2010 and Vakant is following up with a series of remixes for this very important album. Up first is a rework from Hamburg’s Dj Koze; a man with no need for Introduction. Koze lays into the album’s dub track ‘Kawaba’, featuring the voice of Japan’s singer Tomomi Ukumori. Deeply pitched vocals and Koze’s very own groove give this remix a very special appeal. On the flip, Spanish Dj and producer AFFKT, resident of Valencia’s famous Barraca club, delivers a peak time tech-house remix of ‘Macleta’ which is already causing some storms amongst selected dj sets. More ‘Studio 10’ remixes will be released across the next months, watch out!

Tolga Fidan, - Alright
Tolga Fidan, in his last tasty impartment on Vakant before his solo debut album due out in October of this year, brings 2 full sides of the most expansive mind and body moving you will find outside of a gypsy circle on Jupiter. If techno has a jazz fusion subgenre, A-side ‘Gaijin’ is it, making Tolga our own personal Chick Corea with a strobe light. With the prerequisite thickness and authority we have come to take for granted from the Vakant camp, “Gaijin” goes to space while sporting an afro and 15 piece avant-garde jazz band. 15 minutes later you remember the trip but have no idea where you’ve landed. B-side ‘Drunk Rotations’ loses a few members of the band due to cosmic radiation. Remaining members cut their parts into smaller morsels while Chick aka Tolga applies the icing by way of piano. Then the stowaway horn section appears. Where did the modular synth fit, and who brought the Theremin? These are questions for the Mystics. Yet in all the detail of ‘Drunk Rotations’ you never lose the jack or your place on the cosmic dance floor.

Dario Zenker, - Belfort
Vakant continues its VALT series with the third installment of uncompromising club tracks. Started in 2008 with Onur Özer and followed up by Tolga Fidan in 2009, Dario Zenker brings up VALT3 in 2010. Vakant’s representation in the decent south of Germany locates ‘Belfort’ as close to Detroit as it’s indefinite in time. Was it written by little Dario in the 90’s? Or maybe on a US tour in Detroit itself with some helping hands? We don’t know, but surely have a timeless piece of music here.

Nico Purman, - Chamomile
Nico Purman, our Argentinean (soon to be Berlin based) drumline captain and all around groove slinger is back for his third instalment on the marching band in the sky that we call our Vakant home.Purman’s sound continues to evolve, covering truly large distances with every release. Since his robostrobe inspired earlier Vakant works Tuesday EP (VA017) and Euphrasia EP (VA025), Nico drops 3 large-and-very-much-in-charge space jazz masterpieces that he fermented in what sounds like a midnineties New York house basement. First up is ‘Why What’ where Nico sets the free-flowing rhapsodic mood that covers so much ground with one track. Starting in what sounds like Tenaglia’s beloved Chelsea, the track slowly moves uptown landing at the Blue Note where Rollins, Monk, and Roach sit in on the session. ‘Funk Forest’ follows with more pep and less mood. Upbeat and popping percussion blend with Rhodes while a diva whispers in your ear until late seventies Hancock shows up with his synth and brings the hands way up. ‘Chamomile’ finishes the EP off in style. Moody while maintaining the jazz feel, “Chamomile” peaks with futuro baritone sax and piano in unison. Smooth and steady all the way.

Mathias Kaden, - 1981
The Thunder from Thuringia, Genosse from Gera, Mr. Minimal Samba, the man that goes by many names is here to present to us his very first LP on none other than his solo action Vakant home. About 2 years in the making, Studio 10 takes Mathias Kaden's life-long work as DJ and producer, world wide tours, twenty something years of listening and thinking, machines and people, wraps a bow around it all, and delivers it with roses dipped in chocolate. Always taking his time with production, Mathias' focus on quality over quality continues to pay dividends no matter the state of the economy. Unique in many ways, Studio 10 was also unique for the producer himself. Never before has Mathias incorporated into his music so much hardware, field recordings, messages, and invited friends and orchestral musicians to collaborate. Each track has a message waiting to be interpreted, from the first track "Intro Ducing" borrowing from Bob Marley to the last named "1981" featuring Gjaezon, significant in that it was the year of birth for the most important and timeless instrument in Mathias' studio, the TR808. Similar to his Vakant brethren, Mathias is rather the instrumentalist and performer than the programmer and sampler. A Fender Rhodes from jazz pal Lars Mäurer on "Defender", Mathias's 1970's Lowrey organ played by Florian Schirmacher on "Lowrey", violin by Claudia Ander-Donathand on "Re Menor", and flugelhorn by Martin Rudloff on "Panic Stricken" all pull and push the music in ever expanding directions, but at the center the 808 melds it all together. In addition vocalists (and lyricists) Ian Simmonds, Gjaezon, and Tomomi Ukumori impart their talents to help articulate the messages that pervade Studio 10. To call the album house is akin to referring to a 1982 Château Lafite-Rothschild as wine. Closer to Chicago than to anywhere else in sound and in Mathias' heart, Studio 10 finds its home in more intimate settings where its nuance, ideas, and depth can all come shining through.

FIRST 500 COPIES WITH A2 POSTER PACKAGED IN A GATEFOLD COVER!!!! The Thunder from Thuringia, Genosse from Gera, Mr. Minimal Samba, the man that goes by many names is here to present to us his very first LP on none other than his solo action Vakant home. About 2 years in the making, Studio 10 takes Mathias Kaden's life-long work as DJ and producer, world wide tours, twenty something years of listening and thinking, machines and people, wraps a bow around it all, and delivers it with roses dipped in chocolate. Always taking his time with production, Mathias' focus on quality over quality continues to pay dividends no matter the state of the economy. Unique in many ways, Studio 10 was also unique for the producer himself. Never before has Mathias incorporated into his music so much hardware, field recordings, messages, and invited friends and orchestral musicians to collaborate. Each track has a message waiting to be interpreted, from the first track "Intro Ducing" borrowing from Bob Marley to the last named "1981" featuring Gjaezon, significant in that it was the year of birth for the most important and timeless instrument in Mathias' studio, the TR808.

Tolga Fidan, - So Long Paris
Urban nomad Tolga Fidan continues Vakant’s limited series VALT with a much sought-after track which has been around for a while. Fidan, just moved to Berlin a few weeks ago, says ‘So Long Paris’ in such unique style that that we hope he’ll never leave Berlin again. Vakant’s VALT series has been kicked off last year with Onur Özer and keeps on delivering music straight for the dancefloor.

The mind melt keeps melting. Pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry Kool-Aid. Of course we are talking about Onur Özer’s album Kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. Once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off Onur’s album for Vakant’s remix-only VR. First up is Mr. Rajko Müller, better known as Isolée, who having spent some time growing up in Algeria, continues with the African remixer theme (Tunisian born Loco Dice remixed “Eclipse” on part 1. You know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in Africa somehow.) Isolée takes Onur’s otherwise chilling “Innervoice” and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. Flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. Abyssfully deep legend Baby Ford takes the already ethereal “Aida” and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the God particle. It’s scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

Patuá, - Macaista
2
Patuá, - Chapado
Hailing from the southeast Asian jungle, globalization, diaspora, and the unchecked native baboon explosion have all seriously endangered Patuá, so we are afraid that poor Patuá has very few brothers and sisters left in this world. Lucky for you, as the Vakant freak out bus has transversed the planet so many times now, we have indeed found (gasp) Patuá and present Patuá here for your delight and revelry. All it took to lure Patuá onto the bus was some animal crackers and a 1989 Game Boy. Truly momentous, yes we feel like Noah. Once onboard we immediately put Patuá to work and this double A-side is the result. Apparently house is big everywhere. Smooth and warm, A-side 'Macaista' reaches out to the remaining Patuá of this world and says, I am here, do not fret. If Patuá reaches out with 'Macaista', AA-side 'Chapado' is the reach around. Much like his newfound masters, Patuá is quite cheeky. Thick and spacey 'Chapado' is the Patuá mating call to all the remaining tribe members earthbound and beyond

Dario Zenker, - While Rain Gets Air
Munich man Dario Zenker is back again for his second Vakant EP following 2008’s ‘Sam Und Er/Womde!’ (VA019). Still fresh faced and just as hungry, Dario continues to bring the Bavarian goods to our freaky masses. A side ‘Would Be Nice’ makes more twists and turns than a sausage factory while consistently pumping out the mystery meat thick and juicy. If you want freak, thump, space, expanse, its all here. B1 ‘Blue Champa’ is perhaps more on the vegetarian tip: light, nutritious, guilt free and always leaving you a little hungry. Fun and bouncy, ‘Blue Champa’ easily proves that you don’t need to eat meat to get phat. At B2 position you will find ‘While Rain Gets Air’. We have no idea what Dario means here but if you were asking yourself “where’s that track on this Vakant record that wont let close my eyes at night cause I heard this track at 7am and I’m still a little freaked out,” this is it. Listeners beware.

Nico Purman, - Da Roots
Who said techno isn’t seasonal? Summer’s ebullience must invariably lead to winter’s depravity. Short days, collapsing economies, and assorted mavericks have set the mood for the return of Argentinean Nico Purman, our winter cycle heavy hitter, with his second EP on Vakant since last January’s Tuesday EP (VA 017). A-side ‘Euphrasia’ is your very own space tourism trip minus the Soyuz-FG rocket and associated $25 million price tag. Are we going to make it to the International Space Station? Will we break up in the upper atmosphere? Will there be a FSB agent waiting for us in the ISS? All good questions. Nico’s got the ascension covered here, complete with drama, apprehension, and aerospace wizardry. B1 ‘My Own Band’ provides reassured relief after finally docking with the Pirs module only to find a bunch of inebriated astronauts complete with hydroponics and atomizers. Space is indeed fun and full of love and melody. With B2 ‘Da Roots’, Nico proves once and for all that there are indeed Africans in space, and they probably spent a considerable amount of time in Chicago. ‘Da Roots’ jacks as robustly as a solid Kazakh Steppe landing. Plump and stout, Nico’s B2 celebrates earth and space at once with feet firmly on the ground staring back up yearning for the next ride.

Glaswegian Alex Smoke aka Mr. Menzies, the man who helped kick start Vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last Hanged Man EP, VA013, 1 ½ years ago. It’s all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. Smoke, adding to the current relentless Vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old Russian gymnast.

On the second release from its remix imprint VR, Berlin's Vakant label comes with the goods, turning out what might be its most far-out release to date - and at the same time, its most punishingly effective. Going head to head, Glasgow's Alex Smoke and Paris' Tolga Fidan tackle each other's tracks, twisting up knotty rhythms and gauzy electro-acoustic sounds into a battered syntax that expresses one thing: move. This is the real freaky-deeky, and the season's dancefloors will never again be the same.
