SHORT INFO:
Comic relief serves as a refreshing element that lightens up a tense or tragic situation. It creates a moment of contrast and distraction from the seriousness of the scene. This pattern can also be found in literature and film, in humorous characters like Chandler from the sitcom Friends. Especially in difficult times like these, we all occasionally long for comic relief. With his new EP, David Bay tries to create exactly such a moment of escape.
The songs on the EP unite an organic yet modern approach to indie, disco, and house music. David combines the two worlds he is rooted in: growing up in an indie band and, at the same time, running a disco-house label. After two edit EPs and a collection of singles with classic instrumentation and songwriting, this release brings everything together – music that sounds distinctly indie, but with a pulsating house beat.
Next to the four originals on the A-side, each track was remixed and is to be heard on the B-side of this vinyl: 80ies-influenced and well-known producer Lauer contributed his version of disco-gem „1999“, up and coming Dj- and producer Marie Lung flipped the indie-disco track „strangers“ into a deep and housy groover - Electro-legends Digitalism turned the dance-floor-ballad „<3 beat“ into a French-House belter and Dylan C. Greene hailing all the way from San Francisco remixed „dancing on the edge“. Out now on vinyl, only on Zissou Records.

B1 – Rebecca B – Odd World - 00:05:01
B2 – Rebecca B – Old Rapper - 00:05:41



Short Info:

In 2018, way before we established our quirky little label & our ears were still young and unspent, in the deep sound forrest that is soundcloud we discovered an unpolished gem of a track, courtesy of Rebecca B, upcoming scottish born and berlin based banger producer.

Some years and life changing times later we are holding in our hand Rebecca’s first vinyl, dubbed „Murphy’s Law“, in accordance with the previously mentioned times.

Step right in with the A1 „Militant Margaret“ which rolls you off straight into Rebecca’s world, followed by A2 „Bionic Butterfly“, that certain gem we talked about earlier. On the B side you can follow Rebecca on a journey back to her roots. B1 „Odd World“ is a downtempo anthem with an infamous influence and B2 „Old Rapper“ its upbeat twin sibling. Welcome, Rebecca <3

Short Info:
2020 at Zissou’s starts out with the number four on our imprint: The „Somebody’s Heart“ EP is a jovial five-tracker by Johan Kaseta, known as a co-founder & member of the Lehult-crew.

This sum up of naive collages gives us the perfect view on Kasetas world of sound and scenery. Toasty, smart and playful sample-works with impulsive arrangements, create a perpetual flow, which takes these sloppy cuts to unknown heights.

We’re big fans of John Carpenter, errr, Johan Kaseta and we warmly recommend building on this wild bunch of late classics.

Format : Vinyl 12” (180 gr., Limited Full Cover)

Track list :
A1 Dam Swindle feat. Jitwam - Coffee in the morning
A2 Dam Swindle feat. Jitwam - Move out the way
B1 Dam Swindle feat. Jitwam - Coffee in the morning (Prins Thomas diskomiks)
B2 Dam Swindle feat. Jitwam - Coffee in the morning (dub mix)

Release Info:
Detroit Swindle follow up last year’s soulful highlight ‘The life behind things’ with some impeccable disco-funk on steroids: the Coffee in the
Morning EP featuring Jitwam. The ep features 2 originals, a dub mix and a stunning extended remix by Norwegian disco don Prins Thomas.
For Coffee in the morning, Detroit Swindle team up with India-via-London-to-NYC vocalist Jitwam, whose recent album Honeycomb on Tartelet
and his live collaboration with Kamaal Williams have shown the world just how talented he really is.
Coffee in the morning is more than anything a funk fueled disco bomb. The energy is set by a rolling bassline with a live touch (thanks to Xander
Vrienten) and percussion courtesy of their go-to-percussion-guy: Mauskovic Dance Band member Chris Bruining. The track bursts into action once
Jitwam’s vocals come in. His purple colored vocals push through with a full-on slapback delay, which adds nicely to the vintage vibe of the track.
The lyrics are fun in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way and deal with life’s more pressing matters like all the things you can have alongside your
coffee. You could argue that this track is not really about coffee, but something far more perverse, but that’s up to you decide. Back on topic: The
track takes a sharp jazzy turn once the saxophone is introduced (played by UK bred, Amsterdam based jazz dude Finn Peters), which moves
nicely between catchy riffs and completely berserk jazz-isms. Its the full on original that works best for us, but if you’re not really into coffee –or
vocals for that matter- there’s a more straightforward dub mix as well that steers away from all the breakfast related insinuations.
The a-side also holds the second collaboration, which moves into NY garage territory. Shuffling 909 percussion, live shakers and snares set the
vibe along with Jitwam’s vocals directing you to ‘Move out the way!’. The track is bumping, the bassline is thumping and the crowd could very well
be … (yes, it rhymes). The energy pitches up a notch once the synth hits come in and it flows up and down nicely into a section where strings,
Rhodes and cowbells take over into the breakdown. That’s where you get a moment to catch your breath, just before the full track comes back into
action again. If it weren’t for Corona, we’d see this funky house tune played at beach parties, rooftops, intimate clubs and house-head-gatherings
across the world for sure.
On the B-side, its Prins Thomas who takes you on a 10 minute long Scandi-disco trip with live drums and Thomas himself funkin’ on the bass. He
makes perfect use of the dreamy elements of Coffee in the morning, making his version an intimate and provocative dubby disco burner. If the
energy of the original is too much, this version might just be perfect for you.
This is a special piece of music for us that we’ve worked on for a long time and we’re really happy to finally share it with you. Let’s hope we all get
a chance to play the music out loud to more people than just your neighbors and your cat.
Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

2LP in gatefold sleeve incl. CD - is is the only edition WW to be with CD included - UPC : 5060281618207 Release : 21.04.2014

A few years ago, A-Trak got together with the pioneering house/garage producer Armand Van Helden to form the playful dance duo Duck Sauce, and they quickly scored a vast international hit with "Barbra Streisand." Now, nearly four years after that song landed, they're finally ready to release Quack, their giddy and engaging debut album, which features singles like "Radio Stereo," "It's You," and, yes, "Barbra Streisand."
The album is not a typical dance album but a whole lot of fun: Quack pushes the boundaries of house music and sampling into an absurdly visual listening experience, interwoven with skits, scratching and irresistible loops.

(colored eco vinyl)

Genre: House, Minimal, Electronica

Tracklist :
A1. The Spacetime Curvature (DJ Qu Remix) - A2. I Feel Stronger Now (Patrice Scott Remix) -
B1. Ripple Effect (Call Super Remix)

Short Info:
In the wake of Portable’s acclaimed album My Sentient Shadow comes a trio of remixes which expand
on his unique slant on techno and synth-pop. Finding three artists who reflect his own experimental
tendencies within dance music, Alan Abraham’s original productions head into unexpected new places
while retaining the physical, club-ready energy he manages to instill in his own creations.
A true auteur within techno, DJ Qu brings a sense of poise and drama to ‘The Spacetime Curvature’
as he patiently builds the track into a fierce peak time monster driven by snarling bass and his
signature sizzling, shuffled percussion.
Patrice Scott has a reliably smooth, immersive approach to deep Detroit house, and it lends itself
beautifully to Abraham’s melancholic vocal on ‘I Feel Stronger Now’.
Leaning in on the jazz dimension of his wide-ranging electronica, Call Super revels in the sweetness of
‘Ripple Effect’ and places delicate piano playing upfront before slipping into a relaxed, sentimental
kind of garage and eventually edging towards an uplifting, off-centre strain of house music.
Individual in their own right and yet naturally entwined with the emotional intention of the original
versions, this is a set of remixes which pay full credit to the source material while offering something
you won’t expect, like a great remix should do.

Tracklist: 1. (A1) The Secret (Original Mix) 2. (A2) The Secret (Quenum & Cesare vs Disorder Mix) 3. (B1) The Secret (Cristi Cons Remix)

Azimute, das sind Cesare Marchese und der einigen Techno-Insidern nicht unbekannte Schweizer
Philippe Quenum. Was die beiden zusammen fabrizieren lässt uns tatsächlich sprachlos zurück:
Obwohl sie gerade mal auf sieben Releases zurückblicken, haben die zwei es doch tatsächlich
geschafft in kürzester Zeit auf Labels wie Crosstown Rebels oder sogar Transmat zu landen… und
jetzt auch noch den Weg auf Cocoon Recordings gefunden!
Ihr Titel „The Secret“ gibt ein wenig vor, was wir gerade beschrieben haben, denn momentan kann
man Azimute noch wirklich als Geheimtipp bezeichnen. Ihr Cocoon Release dürfte einer unserer
Releases mit dem höchsten Soul-Faktor sein. Betörende Vocals, klackernde Percussion-Sounds aus
den Untiefen des Techno-Klanguniversums und im zusätzlichen House-Mix noch mal alles mit
warmen und hypnotischen Filter Chords dekoriert servieren uns Azimute eine Produktion mit
unglaublich viel Tiefgang.
Azimute erwischt uns hier voll auf dem richtigen Fuß, die beiden Originalversionen werden uns noch
lange über die kommenden Wochen begleiten. Als Bonus gibt es noch einen Cristi Cons Remix
obendrauf. In bester Villalobos oder Cadenza Spielart entfaltet dieser über Sage und Schreibe 11
Minuten und 34 Sekunden seinen Minimalvibe und öffnet damit noch mal eine weitere faszinierende
musikalische Tür. Drei Versionen, die alles aber nicht gewöhnlich sind und die hier seit Tagen in
Heavy Rotation laufen! Mile Grazie Azimute!
