While the attention to detail might reveal a production career that spans two decades, the music itself oozes out an undeniable freshness and confirms that Ripperton is as hungry as ever to express his talent. From the stripped-down grooves of „See You Never“ to the tremendous techno-influenced „Abandon“ via the emotional ride of „One Day Ok, One Day Not“ or the poignant „Real Smile Fades“, this EP is an absolute delight for your ears, soul and feet!

Quarion is back on Drumpoet with an enchanting new EP that leaves nothing to be desired. Cobblestone takes the dancer on a deep sensual journey, builds up continuously and subtly into a truly emotive peak. Sunday Night Pt. 2 tops it by captivating with rhythmic chords, which remind of the early 90ies. Jamaican Morse is a driven drum track, spiced with dubby sounds and a higly addictive beat. Once again, Quarion proves his outstanding quality.

Drum Union is a new series documenting the different shades of Leftfield House. London based Tony Nwachukwu (aka Attica Blues aka Wah-Chu-Ku) provides a deep broken dub techno monster. Manuel Fischer presents a beat-driven disco-influenced track to make any dance-floor burn and Mitsubishi Galaxy, who are also known as Jack Pattern take us into a wavy trip to another dimension. Look Like rounds it up and is merging Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern Electronica soundshapes. A journey wider and deeper than most of the average 4/4 business!

Pacifica has grown on the fertile soil of Zurich's rich club scene. Embracing broad influences ranging from Balearic to Deep House and Techno, the two producers and performers Domenico Ferrari and Balint Dobozi love to combine electronic rhythms with their own blend of sonic textures to reach that fragile balance of creating spaces for the listener's mind while delivering the beats for his feet. Working exclusively on a full-blown live setup, they bring true live sequenced and processed music as much to the recording studio as to the stage. Having individually worked with artists like Jamie Lidell, Kalabrese, Vladislav Delay, David August, Nik Ba¨rtsch, Jojo Mayer, and Roli Mosimann, and after numerous releases during the past years, now it's time for their duo debut.

Frankey & Sandrino, hailing from Germany delivered one of the most outstanding 12"es in 2014. Their track Lost featuring London based singer Jinadu was one of the most played tracks during the closing of Amsterdam's legendary Trouw. It was championed by many established DJs such as Âme. Their reputation is raising and with an upcoming new 12" on Innervisions they are building a name for themselves. This release is the remix package of their debut on Drumpoet including a stunning version of Lost by Zürich based Washerman, a detroit tingled masterpiece which is hard to resist, as well as the futuristic jacking remix for Starchild by Berlin's MUSK and the hypnotic african inspired version by Hyenah, which was highlighted by Dixon during the last couple of months.

Brame (Tiarnan Mc Morrow to his parents) is an upcoming young producer from Sligo/Ireland. The 20-year old is on the run to spread his music and we honestly believe that he deserves to be heard. Having lined up EP's on Saft, Morris Audio and Deep Down Slam as well as his current EP on Dirt Crew with his buddi Halo and remixes for Washerman and many others to come it's just a matter of time for him to be recognised the way he deserves it. His music is deep, driving and most of all very natural, just the way we love it on Drumpoet. 3 tracks aiming for nothing more than this beloved feeling, that makes you groove. There's no white noise breakdowns, no trance-elements, no acid-basslines and none of the hip things at all that trainspotters like at the moment. It's simply timeless classic deep house with an honest attitude. Thank you for your time and we hope you enjoy the music as much as we do. - DPC

What is “Come Easy“ about? High Heels Breaker: „I wanted to write a soulful and electronic song with the idea to leave it as empty as possible by using the minimum of music notes and rhythms. Nowadays we are massivly flooded with (social media) data that I prefer airy and empty music.“ How did the collaboration with singer Sarah Palin come about? High Heels Breaker: “Zurich’s music scene is not that big. We know each other from the cooperation with swiss rapper Big Zis and met throigh my mate Sacha Winkler aka Kalabrese. I called her on a monday morning and asked her, if she’s in and if she could write some lyrics in the next 1-2 months. I sent her the track, she agreed and the following friday the vocals were recorded. During the recording session I got goose bumps, her lyrics about an unwanted breakup is just touching.“ Renowned producers and DJs like Dave Aju (label buddy of Nicolas Jaar), David August and Kalabrese just did remixes for Come Easy. Were they inspired rather from the music or the lyrics? High Heels Breaker: “I think, the song is good, because music, lyrics and vocals are merging. They all felt the universal pain, the reduced instrumentation and of course the soul in it. That’s why they were easily convinced of doing a remix...“

Washerman is a story at it's best. The humble Gianni Siravo has been around since many years under different names. He released his first records in 1998 as SEQUEL on labels like Straight Ahead and Sonar Kollektiv. In 2008 he introduced us to his AZUNI project and released the album "City Look" on Agnès' label STHLM Audio as well as 12"es on Morris Audio, Quinessentials and Drumpoet. In 2012 he decided to release his music as Washerman. His first single „Kutz From The Basement EP“ for DPC became one of the most played records that summer/autumn and gained him a big reputation, followed up by countless remixes and releases on labels like Nite Grooves, Saft and Deso. He also started his own label DEEP DOWN SLAM, where he is championing music which is inspired by the early house groove of New York and Chicago. He has been busy travelling the world as a DJ and producing music, such as this honest raw album of quality house music. His first album entitled "Raw Poet" features nothing less than a 909, a Juno 60 and some other bits to create this unique groove we can not resist. It's simply underground dance music in its purest way and straight to the point.

"In the animist framework of Australian Aboriginal mythology, Dreamtime is a sacred era in which ancestral totemic spirit beings created the world." Francis Inferno Orchestra is Griffin James, a young and talented DJ and music producer from Melbourne. He released various 12"s on labels like Let's Play House, Wolf Music and FINA to name just a few. We believe that he could become a major player of this scene as his musical skillz and his sounds impressed the people at Zurich's Drumpoet Community imprint. On this 12" he shows us two different sides of his output. The soulful "Amber Express" could be an hommage to Moodymann's excellent work, similar to "You're The One" whereas "Dreamtime" and "Dusty Echoes" refer more to the Dub and Techno influenced corner of dance music. We were simply overwhelmed by this tracks and the reactions we had, playing them out was great. Anyway, listen and decide yourself, we hope you enjoy it too.
