Allen Saei, also known as Aubrey, has the experience of a record shop owner mixed to the one of a warned label manager. His music tastes are very varied. With his first love of Hip Hop as a teenager moving quickly onto the emerging Acid House scene from Chicago, then to Detroit Techno and New York House, his music productions testify the perfect knowledge of all three genres. First taste of this record is Pleased to meet you, an original track from the Texture 005 released in 1997. As his fellows, all songs on this wax, except the most recent one but non-the less, Air Strike, were recorded on Digital Audio Tape format and come out of analog machines. A2 - Taken Away is a dance floor killer. Recorded in 1996 this theme follows a straight but efficient techno rhythm that reminds the French Touch at the same period of time in Paris, kind of a darker British “Knight Club” song. The vernal Equinox is the last piece of this EP, recorded in 1998 but never released; it is more techno and rave oriented than the others. Discret for a long time and with recent releases on Syncrophone, Komplex de Deep, and Ferox Records, Allen delivers a wide retrospective of his work and surely gives some perspective for the future.

Now part of the family for more than a year, TvFrom86 aka Thomas Zander is releasing his 1st solo EP on the imprint. Tvfrom86 did a brilliant debut on Roche Musique with the single “Loosing you” including the very good electro funk song “Brooklyn Business”. Keeping the good work and the talent for sampling, TvFrom86 explored the funk with dexterity and exactness in Purple People adding just what the sample needed to sublimate it and make it as powerful as it deserves to be. Creative Swing Alliance, side project of the talented label manager for MCDE, Pablo Valentino, and Steven Wobblejay, gave their own interpretation with and heavier bass and no less efficiency. S3A was invited on the project for the rework of Flying Piano, the third original of the release. The French producer, very proactive at the moment with releases on Lazare Hoche, Hold Youth, Faces, Large Musique and more, definitely didn’t steel his nickname. S3A Is telling us three stories in one with a rough analogic sound for an impressive result. Efficient DJ tool, perfect to turn a dance floor into a mess, By all means combines great rhythmic, samples and voices around a bass guitar for the last original of this French touch record.

After a remix for Daso’s So Sexy last year, the German-Peruvian artist Martin Patiño confirms his presence on Popcorn Records with an entire EP. To begin with, Solid Ground is born from the collaboration with Astrid. We already heard them on the great Hunter EP on Cadenza at the beginning of the year. The result of this new featuring is an original techno track with all the good components you expect from TR707 drums to a xylophone melody, in addition to the sexy and reassuring voice of Astrid. The American Pezzner honored us with a particular interpretation. A deep theme, with percussions, long and subtle panpipes breathe. As if Pezzner was paying tribute to Martin’s Patino’s roots. Finally, Routinary Coffes comes to conclude this warm and deep record done for the sweating parties of the upcoming winter.

Mihai Popoviciu joined the team for the fifth vinyl release of the Popcorn Records’ fabric. From Sibiu, Romania, Mihai is known and respected as a major producer, being part of the Highgrade family, and freshly signed on Poker Flat Recordings. We begin this record with Sortable, evolving with a deep vibe around a subtle patch that conveys you in weightlessness. The whole theme is sprinkled with a synth that unconsciously reminds you the cue of a famous pink comic of your childhood... D’Julz (Bass Culture, Circus Company) have been seduced by this original track, and gave us a great rework by using all the elements in a total different way, focusing on the drum’s effects. On the B face, Blur close this records with melodic patches and slight strings flying around a deep bass for a perfect summer result.

“Music and love are the most important things in my life, and this message I want to spread through my songs. Love not only to people but to all kind of beings and things.” – Daso For its ninth release Popcorn is proud to present the second EP of the man from Koln that we do not introduce anymore: Daso. This artist who became a real friend and mainly one of the head artist of the label is one of the talented producer in the recent electronic music circus. Immer, the main track of this release, gathers a collection of generous and deep sounds sprinkled with hypnotics’ synths: No mistake. The Italian Nico Lahs (Ovum, Poker flat...) gives us a brilliant own interpretation playing with the bass through acid touches. Definitely underground. Schub the second original of this opus confirms Daso’s potential to produce Deep House. Strong original themes, romantic piano, voices and Rolland’s drums are a sweet taste of springs. Chordster is the last original but not the least. The lead piano drives the acid snare all along the track. The result is more than effective and brings your mind right into Daso’s universe, forever.

Former member of French duo Lownza, Lowris devellops here his solo project futher. While his first record along with Chris Carrier received the highest praises, his presence on Piemont's remix album, next to Jay Haze or Uner, shows that Lowris is gently tracing his own path in the electronic field. The "Carambar de Toi" EP gathers a collection of generous and warm deep house sonorities. Spectral Sound new recruit Pawas is on remix duties for the title track of this third Popcorn release. On his version, Pawas blends pads, drums and guitars with a round driving bass. Freshly signed on Poker Flat, is frenchman Andrade who offers here a gliding reword of Jackin'oz. The original version is a subtle track structured by a frank bass and a distant sonar. To round up this EP, Lowris threw in a digital bonus - Random. However, nothing is left to chance here, as a serious kick drum and shuffled bass makes this track a strong DJ tool.
