Release Info
Volker.live ’s debut and final release
“My Love Will Set You Free”
Final release? We see the question mark popping up over your head. Well yes, these four tracks are a
time capsule, a historic cache which takes you back to one hot summer of 2019. When this care-free
boy band formed and made it their goal to climb up the world’s stages to play an all-hardware live set
& have f.u.n. while doing so. This endeavor went swimmingly. Festival gigs were pocketed and
crowds intrigued. The stand-out track of their gigs was always “My Love Will Set You Free”, an
acid-house stomper with uplifting, yet melancholic vocals from their friend ÆN.
Friends and neighbors were quick to re-interpret the song and the idea of a record took shape.
Lehult’s Lucky Charmz propels the listener into the void by upping the acidity. Closing in on a
playtime of 10 minutes, we’re readily giving up our sense for time and space. Whirring drum hits
meet feedbacking tape delay while riding the rock solid bass line.
Erobique liked the song so much, he quickly drew up two versions of his own. His “Disko Mix” oozes
that saccharine, danceable magic mélange of days past. Warm keys, hand claps, and Aen’s intimate
voice are stirred into an exquisite cocktail. You know that Carsten Meyer would never forget the
umbrella on top. He’ll keep the cherry though.
The “Black Velvet Mix” closes the curtains for a slow dance. This is personal, it’s just between you
and the song. Sub rosa.
In the meantime, Volker.live decided to follow separate paths of their adventure, but everyone
agreed to release these songs into the world. May they serve as a reminder of what can be created
out of care-free energy that’s driven by a deep connection to music. Please check out their other
musical undertakings as Echoel and Goodmemory.live .

The longest break in the history of electronic dance music is behind us. So - couldn't we expect the
heaviest drop? The big discharge, when the bass kicks in again, under the heat of the sun, with dust
on your tongue?
For almost two years there was hardly a beat to be heard. Celebration was the watchword, while
swaying in livestreams, the ice cubes cracked along longingly in the living room. But now, in the
summer of 2022, it's clear the big eruption won't happen at all. It will go on like this. Yet time has
raised questions: For example, what can the bass drum tell us? And how political can escapism still
be?
RSS Disco, masters of the radiant "everything-may-nothing-must” sound, like hardly any other DJ and
producer team, have found the answers that contemporary electronic music may need. With their
new album, the Hamburg disco house trio unveil the blanks in so-called club culture - and celebrate
precisely these. "Mooncake" seems like a summons, a quiet but sustained curl of the index finger.
But it doesn't play with the audience, it lets the audience play.New Release Information
Throughout their work, the three musicians have dedicated themselves to well-informed, escapist
dance music. RSS perform sharp and sensitive in any surrounding - between Ibiza and the
self-governing hippie commune. They have released limited vinyl on their label Mireia Records, have
been on the road a lot, always with a head full of music.
Now the cache has been flushed. Their debut album holds eleven tracks full of vastness, full of
possibilities. A classic artist album in the tried and true RSS Disco style, a psychedelic exploring
mad stream from the pulse of the world. 80s wave, house, sweat-pop can be heard. Readymades
with cut up vocal snippets and sunshine loops on cold clang, spaced pads and beach synths.
Their pieces offer references, but they don't have to be called upon to have an effect. They work the
way electronic music has to work these days: against different backgrounds, because as a listener,
you have to add something to it. Music for the sofa is today also for the dancefloor and vice versa.
Because where do people actually stand musically right now? The thread must be picked up again
and RSS Disco pull at all ends. Never limiting the space that electronic dance music keeps free to
fill.
The album is accompanied by remixes from: Prins Thomas, Johanna Knutsson, Rigopolar, Keshavara,
Pose Dia, Johannes Klingebiel, Julian Stetter, Magic Jams, Some Chemistry & Skygirl

limited edition of 200

B2 Come Out
Introducing Skygirl, with their 4-track debut release.
Skygirl is Eva and Hanna. The two got together by chance, but definitely not
by accident. After they were introduced at a festival through mutual friends
and danced the night away, it became clear that both have musical
ambitions and their artistic vision aligns. The band was formed before the
hangover was gone, and songs were written before the weekend ended.
The kind of “after-party-Monday-mood” also functions as an entry to the
band’s lyrical and musical cosmos. Rest assured, this is not your mundane
headache, but rather a working class meets art school kind of philosophical
approach. Sparse instrumentation meets two voices. Life-affirming, yet
informed by a somber future.
Reference points may be groups like Young Marble Giants or Shakespears
Sister. Brittle but strong voices, molded by urban decay.

Tracklist
A - Lunar Fling
AA - Lunar Fling (Aera Remix)
Release Info
“Beautiful, beautiful. Magnificent desolation.”
(Buzz Aldrin’s first words when he joined Armstrong on the surface of the moon)
Now that the world has come to a standstill please let us guide your attention
towards this special 12”. Round and ever-turning like the moon, it rests on the record
player. Move the tonearm and the disc will ooze strangely comforting tones.
Exuberant, yet melancholic at the same time.
RSS Disco have created a psychedelic, blissful jam that moves currents & constantly
changes shape. Meandering voices inhabit the sphere, a pumping bassline secures
the foundation. The warp core is frail at this power level but seems to be holding up.
Frequencies unravel, the bridge heats up. This must be fairy dust made of moon
rocks.
On the dark side of the moon, we find ?Aera (Permanent Vacation, Innervisions) ?with
his signature arp-fest. Elevating the original track form the surface to the stars, we
have left home and there is no intention of ever coming back.

Mireia Records is ecstatic to welcome Casino Times
with “Rush/Kawai” plus three captivating remixes by
Conga Fever, Rigopolar and Filburt.
Tracklist
A1 - RUSH (6:59)
A2 - KAWAI (7:07)
B1 - KAWAI (Conga Fever’s Belgian Fries Remix) (6:52)
B2 - KAWAI (Rigopolar Remix) (7:18)
B3 - RUSH (Filburt Remix) (6:34)
Casino Times? aka Nicholas Church and Joseph Spencer
from London have been betting against the house for
close to 10 years already, winning big with releases on
Wolf Music, Needwant, Omena and their own Casino
Edits label. The pair also hosts the radio Show “What’s
My Derivative?” on Bloop Radio.
Since Mireia Record’s big cheeses RSS Disco have been keen to gamble with the Time’s
music, routinely lighting up dancefloors with it, a loose connection and mutual admiration
formed over the years and eventually lead to this fine record here.
RUSH & KAWAI
Casino Times demonstrate their cunning yet natural and flowing sound with two originals:
“Rush” and “Kawai”. Both tracks are a proper trip of its own, psychedelic pinball machines
that’ll catapult you to the further edges of the known sphere.
An arpeggiated melody line leads the “Rush”, while a rock solid foundation of hard hitting
drums keep you steady. The melody filters into acidic fringes and a strange voice guides the
traveler to the core of this outer-body experience.
By intertwining a pulsating E-Bass with sharp percussions and a brazen guitar chords,
“Kawai” steers the travels even further out of world’s reach. A whole ensemble of sirens and
vocal fragments warn of imminent rapture. After this, it’ll be hard to return to the mundane.New Release Information
KAWAI (Conga Fever’s Belgian Fries Remix)
Leading the string of three remixes is Mireia’s Conga Fever. Known by now for impeccable
and inspired productions he might just have outdone himself again with this interpretation
of “Kawai”.
Taking cues from Belgian New Beat while sounding unconditionally modern at the same
time, Conga Fever has crafted a bona fide festival anthem. After confidently building up
tension and taking his time in the breakdown, the remix manages to release an incredible
amount of energy. We’ve seen people out of their minds and literally stage dive to this one.
KAWAI (Rigopolar Remix)
A new face and dream cast to the label: Rigopolar aka Menio Brown. The Brooklyn-based
producer and DJ has been on our radar for some years with a string of captivating releases
for Tom Tom Disco, Nazca Records and an upcoming EP on Duro. Especially “Sun Of
Lemuria’s” hypnotic brittleness turned our heads.
Adding a new high point to his repertoire, Rigopolar’s take on “Kawai” is an expansive, dark
journey into the void. Powerful lasers and strobe lights appear to lead the way, emergency
broadcast voices beckon the dancers to the floor. The clobbering bassline and twitching
melody help to reach previously unseen heights.
RUSH (Filburt Remix)
Working his signature slow-burn magic on his remix of “Rush” is Filburt. More than happy to
welcome him back to the label. The O*RS label head, DJ and producer is responsible for
some of our favorite material in the past and does not disappoint with this remix either.
Lush pad sounds oppose salient drumming, slowly tightening the atmosphere while a robotic
voice evokes a melancholic mood. The whole night’s rooted on this fervid bassline and it’ll
carry you into next Monday

Julian Stetter - Sensual (Matt Karmil Remix)
Special remarks:
12"hand stamped labels,
limited edition of 300
TTracklist
A1 - Sensual
A2 - Rumors
B1 - Rumors (SONNS Remix)
B2 - Sensual (Matt Karmil Remix)
Hamburg-based Mireia Records is ecstatic to
announce their thirteenth release: Julian
Stetter’s “Sensual EP”.
You’ve probably crossed paths with Julian in the
last couple of years. Not only because he’s the
tallest guy in Cologne, but the producer and DJ
has been actively shaping modern dance music
with his flourishing, melancholic sound. He’s
been releasing music with Permanent Vacation,
Kompakt, Correspondent and hometown labels
Ancient Future Now and PNN.
It’s also not his first time on Mireia Records. Remember the beautiful “Porto” on “We’ll Sea
Pt.1?” Here, Julian presents two original tracks which are reinterpreted by SONNS and Matt
Karmil.
The title track “ Sensual ” manages to erase the mundane, the world’s vanishing around you.
It’s pitched shaker and airy bells evoke introspective tones. The bassline on the other hand
keep you steady - the dancefloor is still visible through the clouds!
“ Rumors ” picks up the pace. Kick drum and syncopated hi-hats set the stage for a serious
bassline, interwoven with fleeting melodies.
Bright and euphoric brushstrokes from Julian’s synth elevate the pace and catapult the track
towards a crescendo. Booming snares signal the peak.
New Release Information
Strobe lights, sweat and ecstasy.
SONNS opens up the B side with the first remix by whispering “ Rumors ” in your ear. A
brooding bass line takes you on a trip to the dark corners of the city. Hypnotically chugging
toms highlight the sights. Let’s get lost tonight!
With his releases on Kompakt and strong DJ Sets SONNS’ been a long time favored entrant
into Mireia Record’s catalogue.
Matt Karmil’s version of 'Sensual', although on B2 of the vinyl, doesn’t hide its assets.
Kicking off with frantic high hats and a distorted glitch, he pushes the track forwards
intriguingly. Arpeggiated melodies layered supremely over the percussion drive the track
forwards, the simplicity of the track and sharp cuts and drops create an interesting dynamic
to the single creating a perfect juxtapose to the other tracks on the release.
Matt’s also been on Mireia’s radar for a long time. His atmospheric adventures for Studio
Barnhus, Smalltown Supersound or Beats in Space always convey a spirit of living, breathing
leeway.

With his releases on Kompakt and strong DJ Sets SONNS’ been a long time favored entrant
into Mireia Record’s catalogue.
Matt Karmil’s version of 'Sensual', although on B2 of the vinyl, doesn’t hide its assets.
Kicking off with frantic high hats and a distorted glitch, he pushes the track forwards
intriguingly. Arpeggiated melodies layered supremely over the percussion drive the track
forwards, the simplicity of the track and sharp cuts and drops create an interesting dynamic
to the single creating a perfect juxtapose to the other tracks on the release.
Matt’s also been on Mireia’s radar for a long time. His atmospheric adventures for Studio
Barnhus, Smalltown Supersound or Beats in Space always convey a spirit of living, breathing
leeway.

Special remarks:screen printed sleeve and label, limited edition of 300
Mireia Record’s tenth release “ZEHN” shakes all of your fingers (and your toes).
A split EP between two strong musically-minded, production-savvy and DJ-versed outfits: PIN UP CLUB and CONGA FEVER. Tactful yet euphoric remixes by Lauer, Jacob Korn and RSS Disco refine the record further.
Tracklist
A1 Pin Up Club - Dilapidated
A2 Pin Up Club - Dilapidated
(Lauer Remix)
A3 Pin Up Club - Dilapidated
(RSS Disco Remix)
B1 Conga Fever - Chihuahua
B2 Conga Fever - Chihuahua
(Jacob Korn Remix)
Opening the record are PIN UP CLUB with “ Dilapidated ”
The band was approached enthusiastically by Mireia Records’ label heads RSS DISCO last year after
listening to their first record “Friends Of The Vortex” on Bordello A Parigi and seeing their live show
on a dutch festival. Everyone was on the same page (of the book about Italo Disco’s legacy) quickly,
music was exchanged, and the fruits of this likeminded partnership can finally be heard out loud.
“Dilapidated” takes you from a state of pondering into the spiral of a fever’s dream and back.
Melancholic pads are balanced with an infectious bassline on the foundation of hard-hitting drums.
Two remixes deconstruct the original track for different parts of the night on the dancefloor:
LAUER (Running Back, Permanent Vacation) recruits cow-bells, sirens and ... power to his arsenal and
thereby shoots the song towards the sweaty ceiling of your neighborhoods basement rave. His knack
for melodies and euphoria is widely known but he really manages to knock you out of the park with
this one.
RSS DISCO channel the original track in to a psychedelic journey with a distinctive Italo feeling. A
frayed lead melody interwoven with moist Oberheim chords and backed up by old-schoolish drums
and a classic arpeggiated Juno Bassline ignite neon lights and incense at the same time.
On the flipside CONGA FEVER is bopping you deep into the thicket, accompanied by his “ Chihuahua ”.
Whirring synths, striding drums, and a bassline heavy as the setting sun make up this groover.
The song feels moody and balearic, accentuated with strings in an arabian tuning, yet it’s decidedly
FUN and danceable.
Conga Fever, who already had a solo EP and a contribution to the “ We’ll Sea ” series on Mireia
Records, impresses with music that sounds effortlessly thick and interwoven - surely achieved by
playing all instruments himself and a keen ear on every frequency.
The remixer of this side is Jacob Korn (Uncanny Valley) who jokingly referred to his mix as the
“teutonic approach”. The incense has burned out, making space for a new-beat-esque groove,
reflecting the cold neon. The bassline and chords still flutter playfully but make no mistake, it’s a
straight call to the dancefloor.

Short info
Sun's out! We'll Sea Pt.3 is here on bright, yellow-marbled vinyl.
This edition brings us five tracks that'll leave you behind tanned.
The A Side introduces Cornchild, a new nom de guerre by an established maestro of the low notes. While being a longtime neighborhood friend of Mireia Records in Hamburg, he's a world travelling, record making factotum with releases on house music's finest like Giegling, Retreat and Delusions of Grandeur.
Here he reinvents fragments of his record collection into entirely new pieces. Caught somewhere between soulful housefunk and japanese sci-fi soundtrack.
The flipside brings together two of the dustiest fingers from the south and east:
LeRoy from Munich, known for his loose style between Kraut, sampling and psychedelics becomes "Like One". Elevating vocal snippets, warm-as-a-dog's-nose bassline and delayed fuzz guitars bring an early summer to your technics.
Filburt from Leipzig, Don of O*rs and well-versed producer in his own right
hypnotizes and slowly layers "Take it back" into infinity. Happy to see him again on Mireia Records after five years!

Tracklist
A1 - V, A2 - Forever Yours, B1 - Intro, B2 - Nightlife, B3 - Scars
Short info
Welcome to Nightlife. Johannes Klingebiel's debut on RSS Disco's Mireia Records.
An atmospheric journey. Melancholic, yet euphoria-inducing.
Johannes' five tracks cast their shadows into the darkness, mirroring patches of light that can be found if you wander out far enough.
It's simultaneously the soundtrack of sweaty dancers losing their sense of time and place and the hopeful feeling of a new day during a drive into the first light in the hazy morning hours.
Johannes is a studied drummer. He released music on labels like Mule Musiq, Ancient Future Now and Feines Tier. He's also one half of Alma & Mater and travels constantly with the bands C.A.R. and Vimes. Oh and he's a great DJ as well. He probably never sleeps. That's how he manages to capture the magic of Nightlife.
The vinyl comes in a screen printed sleeve with hand stamped labels and is limited to 300 pieces.

Info
We Release JAZZ is honored to announce the release Shoals, a magnificent full-length album from Earth and Bones, the duo consisting of Liran Donin and Idris Rahman of acclaimed jazz outfit Ill Considered. Their majestic offering is available in an ultra limited edition 180g vinyl LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with an original artwork by Dutch artist Vincent de Boer.
Carried by Liran Donin on double bass and shakers, and Idris Rahman on bass clarinet, tenor sax, shell, and Tibetan singing bowl, the 5-track album is a deeply entrancing meditative-shamanistic-ambient-jazz journey. The members of Earth and Bones poured their heart and beliefs into the project:
"From shamanic cultures and forgotten traditions, we delved deeper searching our ancient healers, exploring who they heal, what they heal, and how they do it. We wanted to focus on the poisonous human attributes that affect our animal kingdom, as well as how we can heal ourselves by balancing darkness and light. We express our forever gratitude to our community, tribe and animal kingdom.
Despite how governments and multinational corporations try to isolate us from one another, we can't make it alone without our shoal. To truly have a shoal, we need to accept each other for what we are."
Their friend, Vincent de Boer, delivers the visual side of Shoals:
"The living world and all its particular (eco)systems s increasingly a source of inspiration for my art process. When Idris and Liran showed me the new recording and the thoughts behind it, it immediately fell onto good grounds. A school of fish is eminently a metaphor for collective improvisation, something we are all engaged in on an artistic level. The group decisions go beyond causality, the energies provide a simultaneous awareness for choices of direction. The space between the entities thus form a new entity. Non-matter becomes matter and vice versa: an area where music and visual art meet.
I drew a school of fish and tried to make it look like a fixed entity, so that multiple lives become one collective. As a bird and perhaps as a rock or cave: outside becomes inside becomes outside: so that all domains of the living world are linked: the swimming, the crawling, the flying and the playing. The spiritual connection with the music of Idris and Liran is grand, the places it takes me are at once very distant and extremely close. From otherworldly to within the body: the opposites as well as the harmonies are of shamanistic proportions."
Points of interests
For fans of ambient-jazz, meditative music, shamanistic rituals, improvisational process, deep vibes, Ill Considered, Vincent de Boer, heartful connections, healers and healing, the body, the otherworld, life within and outside.

Winterlight - You Have Always Known The Way
Emerging from the shadows of a small apartment in Chicago’s South Side Pilsen neighborhood in 1999, Winterlight was produced and mixed by Daniel Thompson over the course of three years, from 1999 to 2002. It’s an intimate and evocative album that captures a pivotal chapter in Thompson’s life and echoes the spirit of a formative era in the underground music scene.
Thompson’s journey began in the heat of Houston, Texas, where his love for sound quickly became an obsession. By the late ’90s, he was among the first DJs in Houston to champion the sound of Chicago house, often driving long distances from Texas to Chicago in search of records, inspiration, and connection. These trips—equal parts pilgrimage and education—eventually led him to relocate to Chicago, where his artistic vision would fully take shape. Winterlight is the direct result of that move. Crafted over several years, the album embodies a raw, hands-on approach to production, built from analog synths, outboard gear, and hours of meticulous layering. Thompson leaned on tools like the Kurzweil K2000, SE-1, Juno-106, and classic processors such as the DP4 and TC Electronic units, shaping each track with
care and intention.
Blending atmospheric textures with hypnotic rhythm and subtle experimental flourishes, Winterlight captures the sound of an artist deeply engaged with his tools and surroundings. His extensive vinyl collection—over 3,000 records—served as both palette and inspiration, with carefully chosen samples lending further depth and narrative to the music. Now set for release across all digital platforms and as a limited double 12" vinyl edition through Berlin’s Word & Sound, Winterlight invites listeners into a soundscape that is both immersive and personal. More than just an album, it is a sonic document of a moment in time—rich in tone, memory, and intent. For those willing to listen deeply, Winterlight offers a rare window into the underground spirit of the early 2000s and the inner world of a producer finding his voice.

SHORT INFO:
Canadian deep house don Nick Holder's Fruit Loops EP is next to get the remaster and reissue treatment from Definitive Recordings. This label, now overseen by Get Physical Music, first released the EP back in 1995 when Toronto-based Holder had already become one of house music's most tasteful operators. He went on to release over 125 EPs and singles under countless aliases, in various groups, and on his labels DNH Records and Treehouse Records, as well as !K7 Records and NRK. His style spans house, disco loops and minimal Chicago grooves and is always high on immersive atmosphere. Opener 'Dance Dance Dance' brings together all those aspects of the Holder sound with its funky guitar riffs looping beneath raw drums and disco basslines. Classic Chic samples burst out of the mix to bring an air of celebration and party, and it makes for an irresistibly feel-good sound. 'Keep on Running' is a steamy and sweaty house jam with loopy drums and bass and more smartly chosen samples, this time from Roy Ayers, that bring the funk and never let up. It has long been a go-to anthem for house DJs, and the realness and rawness of the emotions in Holder's work also shine through with the filtered synths and jazzy keys of 'The Message of Love', which is complete with bumpy and irresistible drums. Last of all is the unfettered party spirit and diva vocals of the brilliantly lo-fi funk-house pumper that is 'Clap Ya Hands'. This EP hasn't aged one bit and remains a definitive piece of early Deep House history.

A2 Stechmück (Version)
Release Info:
Pole, aka innovative German electronic artist Stefan Betke, presents a limited edition 12" single with new exciting remixes of tracks from his latest album, Tempus.
This 12" sees the title track 'Tempus' remixed by long-time Nine Inch Nails contributor, label mate and "synth connoisseur" Alessandro Cortini. The vinyl also includes the track 'Stechmück' remixed by Californian interdisciplinary artist Rrose, reworked by UK's electro-punk duo Sleaford Mods and edited by Pole. The original song embraces the sound of Betke's dying Minimoog, which you can hear manipulated in different ways across the different versions.
Düsseldorf-native musician, producer and mastering engineer Pole is known for his unique musical language oscillating between melody and avant-garde in electronic music, with audible influences from Dub and Jazz music. Tempus contributed to his ongoing musical evolution, while retaining a relationship to previous work, with Pitchfork stating "It's the sound of an artist drawing from his repertoire while demonstrating that he is still looking to the future."

Fossar - Aeriel (Windy City Version)
Tracklist:
A1 Good 2 Me
A2 Free
B1 Make Me Feel
B2 Aeriel (Windy City Version)
Smallville Record sub-label Fuck Reality returns in March 2024 with Fossar’s ‘Make Me Feel’ EP.
The Fuck Reality imprint founds it origins in 2015 as a sub label of the widely lauded Smallville label with a heavy focus on classic House music. The label kicked off with the reissue of Westbam and Nena’s iconic ‘Oldschool Baby’ with remixes from Smallpeople and Gerd Janson before going on to release music from Smallville staple Moomin, Frantzvaag – who also release the first album on the label last year - and more. Here the label welcomes Fossar, co-founder of the Feuilleton imprint, onto the imprint with his new EP.
‘Good 2 Me’ opens with airy chords, robust toms, flickers of resonant synth stabs and soulful vocals running atop snappy drums before ‘Free’ embraces a classic 90’s New York aesthetic with heavily swung percussion a jazzy bass groove, emotive piano lines and warm vocal chants.
The B-side is then kicked off with ‘Make Me Feel’, diving deep with shimmering, expansive leads, looped vocal, swirling string melodies and a classic bumpy bass and snare combination. The ‘Aeriel (Windy City Version)’ then rounds things out, as the name would suggest nodding to the Chicagoan roots of House and employing all the classic tropes from slick flutes, intertwined keys, glistening piano melodies and shuffled 909 drums.
All tracks written, produced and mixed by Pchris Gruber
Mastering by Lopazz / Mixmastering, vinyl Cut by Helmut Erler / Lathesville
