Release Info:
In certain circles, this is a record that would easily be called „eternal“. Back in 1996, when it was originally released, it sounded like nothing else - and still does. The sixth record of Frankfurt’s soon to be imperial Playhouse label and Losoul’s first outing on the label, it hot-wired many things at once: house and techno, US roots and European fruits, grittiness and wittiness, high tech funk, the expansion pf playtimes and the concept of minimalism in dance music. Elegance met effectiveness.
A composition that hooked you and also caused a stir elsewhere. Daniel Bell licensed it to his Elevate label and commissioned a very young Theo Parrish to remix it, Michel De Hey did the same with his EC Records and treatments by Gerd among others.
Here you finally get both of those carefully restored, remastered and reissued next to the originals. Amply placed on a double 12“, it also features the previously unreleased D1. Stemming from the same time and era as Open Door it rings and feels like a compact lost brother. Addictive as on the very first day and here to stay.

4. SHORT INFO:
Losoul, whose real name is Peter Kremeier, has been one of the leading figures of legendary 90's and 00's German label Playhouse. He released numerous LPs and EPs during the last three decades, including underground hit "Open Door". He also appeared under the names "Silhouette Electronique" and "Don Disco". Belong, originally released in 2000, gathers nine titles of pure electronic music. From minimalistic house (Taste not Waste), through 90's trip hop (Sunbeams in the rain) all the way to more experimental endeavors (Late Play). The album also includes the track "Overland" which samples the bassline of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson in an eccentric and joyful way.Belong represents the 2000's musical turn, with its delicate, smart, minimal and emotionally groovy sound. A pioneering yet soulful layout of independent electronic music.

2021 Repress

Tracklist:
A1. Side Street Noise B1. Passing Sun
Short info:
Next round for Another Picture. After exploring the highs in electricity and the lows of the deep grounds we go further into things. Sensing vibration of the fire below and turning it into a never-ending evolution of sound and groove. This is what you might know about Losoul tracks - and here you can't go wrong either. There are scattered artefacts of the city bringing vibe and inspiration - the streets, the people, the concrete, the action - it's all in between.
Then there's the ever-changing beauty of nature out there on a day to just leave things as they are. Soul, movement and emotion. Again Losoul gives a strong example of experience from his longterm career in house and techno production and performing. Two pieces of music timeless in many ways.
See you on the dancefloor. And everywhere else.

B1. Gold Tooth
B2. There We Were
C1. Square Down Smoother
C2. Mean Time
D1. Lava In You

Short info:
Losoul returns to action with his first long player in almost ten years, and delivers a stunning collection of
compositions for the Hypercolour released “Island Time”.
Otherwise known as Peter Kremeier, the German producer has mesmerized us for many years with his organic
and emotive house music, largely released on the influential Playhouse label, but of late has seen him release
singles for Karat and Tardis Records, as well as his very own Another Picture label.
Fans of Losoul won’t be disappointed, as a diverse yet utterly familiar sound aesthetic pours out over the album’s
seven tracks in his own inimitable style. The jazzy broken beats of “Gold Tooth” shine with their micro-sample
chops, whilst “Mean Time” is a dense and dubby slow stomp, teasing the drums with space echo and injecting
sparse bass work where it matters. Inventive, spongy house grooves are delivered on “Boppin Lower” and
“Square Down Smoother” whilst the album closer, “Lava In You” is a master class in ambient sonics and
shimmering keys over a lo-fi swinging groove.
It’s been over 20 years since Losoul’s signature single “Open Door”, and the German producer continues to pour
out honest and rewarding music. More

Tracklist 12”:
A1. Daddy, What’s A Rise?
B1. Time & Space
Short info:
Peter Kremeier, AKA Losoul, has always been an artist we’ve greatly admired here at Hypercolour, so it was a real thrill to
have him on the label back in 2014, and here we have an essential repress of the ‘Slowly Turning’ release. A huge catalogue
of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like Playhouse, Moodmusic and Freak ‘n’ Chic, Losoul turns in two
exceptional tracks on this EP that were lapped up on the initial release.
‘Daddy, What’s A Rise?’ is classic Losoul; a heavy low slung groove never lets up, with micro disco stabs and distant vocal
snippets, looping round and round for over 10 minutes, but without ever standing still, the filtering and deft touches keep things
moving at just the right funky pace.
B side cut ‘Time & Space’ is a glitchy and dubbed out affair, a solid 4/4 beat underpins a myriad of delayed percussion and
panning synths, spatial effects and an incessant chord stab, head music for the heads indeed!
Selected DJ reactions
Troy Pierce (Items & Things) – Classic Losoul! Good stuff…
Josh Wink (Ovum) – dig the simplicity of Losoul’s tracks, groovin!
Jimpster (Freerange) – I’m a big fan of Losoul so dead happy to hear some new stuss, this is killer too, especially ‘Daddy’, defo playing this out a
lot
Ralph Lawson (2020 Vision) – Heavy as you would expect!
Will Saul (Aus) – Epic win!
Roman Fluegel – Great material by a true legend!
Midland – Very good, thanks
Roy Davis Jnr – Deadly groove!
Detroit Swindle – Classic Losoul, nice one
Ewan Pearson - Losoul is one of the great European house producers and doesn't seem to get the props that some of his peers get. This is as
usual a cut above - Daddy is more than a disco loop, and Time & Space is completely hypnotic.
Davide Squillace – Just fantastic, big fan of Losoul
Raresh (arpiar) – superb release, wow, thanks a lot!
Mr. G – great production More

Tracklist:
A Boy Girl Action
B1 Trine
B2 I See You

Short info:
Tardis Records are delighted to welcome UK tech-house hero Flow to the Tardis Records stable for their eighth release. The three tracks making up the Trine EP were recorded together with Simon Moorecroft (a.k.a. Simon Vinyl Junkie) around the time of his first vinyl releases back in 1996-1997. All three tracks sound completely contemporary whilst having more than enough old school flavour to give flashbacks to any 90's ravers. Lead track 'Boy Girl Action' has skipping, garage-influenced beats with rolling bass and swirling atmospherics, whilst a breakbeat, vocals and a stabby intro give 'Trine' on the flip a more ravey feel. Closing out the EP, 'I See You' is the dubbiest cut here, with another heavy bassline, cut-up vocals,and subtly swung percussion. Eli and Oscar have loved testing these tracks out on the road and can vouch for their impact on a peak-time dancefloor! More

Tracklist:
A No Fooling
B1 Beetween The Lines
B2 Lost
Short info:
After the success of Closer to Freedom in 2014, Chicago legend DJ Jes returns to Tardis Records with the Between The Lines EP, featuring two lost tracks from his personal archives and a brand new offering. Opener ‘No Fooling’ is reduced to the bare essentials until an elegant snatch of piano and spoken word sample break it down further; when the track kicks back in with a vengeance everyone in the room will know all about it, but it remains subtle enough to work the day after as well. On the flip, ‘Between The Lines’ is tougher and dubbier and will do some serious peak-time damage, whilst new track ‘Lost’ is a cut-up banger for the floor and a perfect DJ tool. All tracks have been meticulously edited and rearranged by label owners Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq in order to extend the grooves and maximise dance floor impact. More

Tracklist:
A Vitsippa B1 Blåklocka B2 Snödroppar
Short info:
Latest addition to the Tardis Records family is non other than quintessential Swedish techno veteran Jesper Dahlbäck: The man who has arguably had his fi nest club moments under his The Persuader moniker. An ode to the fl oral beauty of his nordic homeland, the three cuts of the „Vårblommor EP“ tread his much beloved, hypnotic path between techno and house. It’s the subtle quirkiness and authentic grit that makes these productions stand out from the vast
uniformity of dubby club tracks. Opener „Vitsippa“ is a particularly inviting number – a grand opus with irresistible drive and intermittent crackly vocals: That rare case of a dancefl oor healer. On the fl ip, „Blåklocka“ is more laid-back, a reminisence of the persuaders early svek production style with a deep sub-bass, ambient textures and fl uttering melodies fuse into a deep, majestic groove. Driven by a positively forward-marching snare drum, „Snödroppar“ fuses vivacious synths to delayed patterns, creating yet another track awash in a kind of sentimental lucidity. Endlessly looping through the night, these three jewels will make their way into the hearts and crates of the discerning DJ. More

Tracklist: A1 Closer To Freedom B1 Echoes B2 Difficult
Short info:
If nothing else, Tardis Records is a vessel of friendship: a place where joint passions thrive.
Thusly, Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubag have asked DJ Jes from Chicago to perform his West Coast-inflected house magic. The fourth release on the Zurich/Berlin based label embodies a unique style all Jes' own: There's that mesmerizing, dubby and tribalistic disposition, chromatic and slightly outside the box. Propelled by whipping drums and twisted moods, opener "Closer to Freedom" proves to be an irresistible and cleverly-conceived shaker. "Echoes" delves into acoustic space-time and dribbles by way of percussive straightforwardness. Last but not least, there's that house tool called "Difficult": a metallically clad and sharply hissing bass-monster, briefly steering into a save haven of jazzy chords. Three pieces to sweep you off your feet:
thank you DJ Jes!.

Tacklist A1Take it, B1 Exposition, B2 Triade
Tardis strikes back, straight out of their intricate space-time-continuum: Here, label co-honcho Oscar Schubaq delivers a tour de force of the first order. On his first solo EP after the well-received collaboration with Eli Verveine on TAR001, which has been recently repressed, Schubaq betrays his respectful mastery of the classic tropes of house and techno. The main cut "Take It" is direct and to the point, pushing onward and onward with a graceful relentlessness. Ethereal dub textures and curious string harmonies mingle with vocal harmonics. Then there's "Exposition" which does exactly as it should: Straightforward, contemporary house that honours it's roots.Finishing the EP with "Triade", a dark ambient journey based on the core of extreme timestreched vocal drones and organic scapes, Tardis once again shows that it´s not only about music for the dancefloor.

Barcode 827170502161 Release: 8.7.2013
Tracklist: A1 CutTwice B1 The Mood B2 Stacked Team
Berlin/Zurich based label Tardis is back, enthusiastically dancing out of the studio into the dawn of a much wished-for summer. For their second release, Tardis has enlisted Paul Mac aka Jorge Zamacona who hoists in not one but three rough house killers. Picking up the trail he left fifteen years ago on his "Mosaic Efforts" mini-series for Steve O'Sullivan's Mosaic label, the veteran producer portrays dazzling acumen: Bursting with the sheer power of clever drum programming, "Cut Twice" is an offering that will make people lose their heads on dance-floors: Jagged, massive, irresistible. "The Mood" ventures into deep, silky house territories, while "Stacked Team" delivers another burning cut of dancefloor-euphoria: House! A time capsule in his own right, this EP is still firmly embedded in the now: Paul Mac produced all tracks in 2013.

A1 Ness B1 Züri Dub B2 Spencer F.Byrd
In the world of electronic music, 15 years is a bloody near eternity. And it's exactly how long Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq have been exploring their vinyl passion and the art of intricate deejaying. Time, however, is a relative matter. Because elegant and raw club music is never going out of fashion. Which one can also learn from Schubaq & Verveine's brand new label Tardis, it's name meaning "time and relative dimensions in space". As producers, the two artists have joined forces for their debut EP: The choo-choo curves of "Ness" will undoubtedly bring the steamy heat to many dancefloors, while "Züri Dub" has already been turning heads via Eli Verveine' s recent podcast for RA: Here, Schubaq & Verveine dive deep into a stripped down groover. You need more? Let yourself go in the chasmic looseness of "Spencer F.Byrd".
