Product info:
Treat Your DJ Right releases Seidensticker & Salour from Hamburg. Some of you
might know Jakob Seidensticker as one of the masterminds from Wareika whose
productions have been released on labels such as Perlon and Visionquest amongst
others. After years of playing as a DJ-team in Hamburg's famous clubs like EGO,
Waagenbau, Purgatory etc, they are eager to focus on their own "house-influenced"
club productions. The „Love for Sale“ EP is a deep confession to minimal house
music and contains two tracks on 12“ and one digital bonus. A sharp intelligent
release and a huge rollercoaster ride through moods from contemplation to euphoria. More

Hamburg residents Jakob Seidensticker and Bardia Salour, together known as Seidensticker & Salour are hardly newcomers to the scene. Jakob has been producing music as one third of the internationally known Wareika, and Bardia has made a name for himself through playing regularly amongst the Hamburg club circuit. The two of them have come together in 2010 to release EPs on labels like VoidCom, Einmaleins, and URSL. The boys now host a regular event dubbed "Dance For Fans" at Hamburg's most prestigious venue, the EGO club, and with impressive lists of guests to say the least. The two share a love for minimal / dub Techno that is evident in their productions as well as their DJ sets. They keep the vibe easy, chill, and relaxed. They have a knack for creating intricate music that is easy to understand and more importantly, easy to enjoy. "Welcome To Our Ageing Chamber", their debut for WIR is a wonderful illustration of their talent. They have kept the soundscape free from overwhelming textures and effects, leaving room for each instrument. The piano in "Golden Times" is a perfect example. Each element fits, as if they have been producing together for years.

Info:
We live a life in between exorcism and consumption; stirring up a piece of sh-which might be the forgotten, -the unexpected, -the unusual, -the left behind.
Dust as a Metaphor for our repetitive culture, can`t be better chosen to head the "Redust" EP on FormResonance.
Grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide soundstream. Dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature. Knowledge which is inherent in class-a circuits, vinyl, or tape and which can be barely "re"produced.

Georg Stuby is already a DJ on stage; like Burning Man, Club der Visionäre... He resident in the Zürich Party Scene, teaches at the School of Sound and drops out some nice tips on his own blog: www.georgstuby.com The Redust EP is his debut release. Jonas & Christopher Lawrenz provide their experience with Georgs music, even longer.

Info:
Here Today is significant through their releases on Philpot, Suol, Claqueur and the legendary UK House Label Buzzin Fly Records. Engin Seyrl and Florian Schirmacher catch the key moment to release their debut album „Transitory Objects“ with two exclusive music videos, a remix by Wareika colleage Jakob Seidensticker, and a Book, summing up the work of their joint venture with the Stuttgarter Performance Ensemble over the recent six years. While their tracks alternate into something momentary- fading, they clip the moment by playing live in coniunction with the audience. Producing at any moment, Here Today interacts between studio and live performance. The interplay and open process, could be related to the works of classical composer John Cage. Both providing an open space especially in their live show. The first more to listen and the latter even more to dance to. Crossing introduces a moody club athmosphere, drifting into a club hymn, including as strong as shimmering vocals. You can feel the UK House influence, which defined the „Good News“ Release on Buzzin Fly. Cool House with unexitedly vocals... „Crossing all barriers....“ glowing more and more and building up to a repetetive refrain... Like „Save“ - a classic House Track featuring clap attacks, Engin`s Funk Guitar and House legend Ian Pooley, who has collaborated with the guys. The Track interplays with rough cutted drum sounds, a full to the brim Bassline and Ian`s Hi Hats. Working sums up their club skills into a hooking hit. Subtle Loops, pull the listener on the floor. Wispered or defined vocals, Florian does show a superbe quality and dynamic, but keeping it relaxed and „cool down“ too. The mixture of drive and leisureness is a grown-up masterpiece and surely one of his best vocal tracks. The gem of the jam session is „Meadow Run“- a powerful techno track with their old school trademark sound. They recorded their drum machines on tape and reused them in the mix. Which gives them a softness without loosing its
punch. Layered Prophet synthesizers draw an exiting pursuit, driving the curve with full speed, but every sound has enough consistency, to drift not away, or is that exactly what happens? Working and Meadow Run are coming up with official music videos: Gernot Tögel pulls us into an intimate club shooting at Elipamanoke, Leipzig; while Working was filmed in collaboration with Deutsche Oper Berlin under the direction of Laura Laabs. After the presentation at the opera house the video has been now chosen to represent Deutsche Oper in their Cinema Campaigns. Even if Engin Seyrl met Florian in Bremerhaven their „Hometown“, they sticked together in Hamburg, sharing a flat, producing and working for the Stuttgarter Performance Ensemble. Altogether this ensemble accomplished a book release, an alliance of FormResonance and Institut für Kirchenbau und kirchliche Kunst der Gegenwart, coming up with a book, called: „Spirit Now“ Performance for Pentecost. Published by Thomas Erne, Petra Dais and Florian Schirmacher. FormResonance is proud to present and to unite the different transformations, which Here Today has done over the
years. Without the help of all contributors, the album, the remix, the book and the video would not be, like it is right now: The Transitory objects of „Here Today“. More

This Project is building up a new Hamburg-Signature sound: Full vocals in between Folk, Pop and Electronic. They tell songs from abroad, as a story, as a concert and each song contributes its unique character to their debut album!
"Unprepared" pops up with a ruff approach and high energy, so this song heads reasonable the album as an exclamation mark! "Instant Diver" lifts up with the upward stroke of hopeful film scenes. Its nature, quite "british" sounding drums guide through the album. This band has a sound: direct, tempting and spreading joy in each of their pieces.
The magnetic voice of Christos Zarampoukas evokes a close relationship. His pleasant approach melts into intensity and invites each listener to come closer. Its pureness stands ahead in each piece. Coming back to the well-arranged songs: the funny "Doped call" is as important for them as the soft "In your garden" or "Horses with golden Hair". "Bilirubin" will go on tour as well with these pieces as with Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals, Lead Singer, Guitar and Bass!
FormResonance sets new standard in terms of mastering techniques. We will go on with our vision and our pure confession to music, which experiments and spreads our love of playing instruments.

Tracklist: A
Krink, the shooting star of Audiolith records comes up on FormResonance with 4 Night Club tracks of smart understatement. His songs does floating so easily- wide space and a perfectly fitted house groove, a modern Classic for FormResonance. Without saying anything his sounds does come from behind, fading away and still left space. This is Clubmusic on a high aesthetic standard. Just a bit darker…. “Darkness” is heading this EP: Outstanding- including this relaxed and subtle feeling, we will push it on top! “Session” shifts more into Theo Parrish House Style, with a concrete texture. More based on a riddim, in a repititive session. It may be allowed to announce “Vague” as a love song, whilst it is devoting to some memorable club moments. An invotation to take part of this feeling. “Kind of Girl” is the perfect floor filler: sweetened up vocals all decent and not too… But…! A special hurrah goes to our brilliant mastering engineer Michael Hank, who finished our masters as usual with so much love! More

Tracklist: A1 - Burnin (Original) A2- Burnin (Wareika's One on One Remix) B1- Burnin (Brendon Moeller mix) B2- AlexFlatner & LOPAZZ_Dinosaurs (WareikaRemix) REL DATE 15.10.2012
It is gonna be a huuge package out on FormResonance with this “Burnin” release by Wareika: The original track, now timeless on vinyl, comes alongside with their own “One on one mix”, which tend towards summer breaks and festivals including their unique quality of flying melodies. Back into the club, Brendon Moeller spends his interpretation by focussing on his beloved dub techniques including an acid feeling on his stunning bassline. The vocals are perfectly balanced with his subtle shuffles and grooves - you definitely get one of his prerogatives here. Brendons second mix, his “beat pharmacy flaming dub” catches on: more focussed and more clean he let the essence of the original come through. Their vision of electronic music can be heard in the Alex Flatner & LOPAZZ „Dinosaurs“ remix. Wareika does include modern production techniques as fluent as the feeling for an organic approach. Their instruments do become a spokesman by creating odd rhythms flowing together...creating a new step. More

We are proud to present our 10th release and the first album on FormResonance in June 2011!
A stunning surprise is awaiting: label director Florian Schirmacher developed something completely out of the box together with the living Techno legend Mijk van Dijk: THE CHAENGE After the preliminary release of the single "Love Devotion" on David Carrettas French label Space Factory now follows the debut album by THE CHAENGE! Funk is back? – it's never been gone. This is what Florian Schirmacher and Mijk van Dijk are presenting.
Mijk "The Legendary" van Dijk has set the bar in the Techno scene since the early 90's. He was one of the first European artist in Japan and still follows and promotes his philosophy of thinking and acting without borders. Probably only a few people know that he was a bass player in a Funk band before he started his career in Techno. The funk strikes back! Florian "The Voice" Schirmacher is producer and singer of Wareika, Federleicht, Hatikvah, Here Today , and of course THE CHAENGE. His approach to build up musical projects together with other artists sets yardsticks when it comes to the question how to define a band. He is rightly regarded as an exceptional figure in the current club culture, with an instinct that always hits the mark precisely. Catherina Behr is next to
the guys live on stage and acts as drummer.
Past - Present - Future; THE CHAENGE triggers a variety of connotations and shows quite confident future visions on the new record. They present a synthesis of camp, irony, elegance, seriousness and a wink of a surprising turn in their songs.THE CHAENGE should be seen as a neatly tailored colorful kaleidoscope. The carefully chosen cover version of André Cymone's "Dance Electric" (written by none other than Prince) proves their courage to raise their music to a new and higher level. The essence and spirit of funk is preserved and transformed into the current club culture. Their compositions draw a rich picture full of musicality and passion. They speak with one voice and create a synthesis that forms a character: THE CHAENGE is our rebellion.

Holmby Hills. We have waited long time for this! This year their remix of Hatikvah's "Synchronicity" on Baalsaal Recordings entered the US chartlist of Velizar and was dropped by Agoria on his "Balance" Compilation. Now their first debut single will be out on FormResonance! The twelve inch (and digital) release comes with the diversity FormResonance stands for: a non-standard club music. Holmby Hills' two smooth'n'ruff House tracks and two Hip Hop-Jazz encores turn this record into a testimony for the state of mind of FormResonance. When Soul is melted together into an off the grid House track, it is not that far-fetched that both men have shared their music ever since tapes existed. Engin Oeztuerk, one half of Here Today, which came out on Philpot and Buzzin Fly and Block Barley (who already has released two albums on Hong Kong Records and We ain't Music) are both tinkering in search of music to dance to. They wickedly transform their musical masters' ideas into something extraordinary sounding.
An off-the-grid team! More

The currently published debut album "Synchronicity" of "Hatikvah" on the legendary label "soma" from Glasgow, Scotland, let the experts sit up. Now, FormResonance selected three songs from their wonderful debut album in its uncut version to make it available for the music world also on vinyl! The A-side "Big Mind" reveals itself as an extremely dense atmospheric world of sound. The voice results clearly through the piece. Florian Schirmacher shows here presence with his voice and remains yet subtle in the sound structure. Right in the middle there is a break, a silence. To this short moment the whole play seems written around. The reference points are lost. The second song "Daedalus" is a Rhodes Solo. Pure. Nothing else. Hatikvah shows its versatility and clarity that can be found in every song. Purposeful and open "Unforgettable" slides 13 minutes on the B-side through an improvisation with the Rhodes piano that evolves gently and playful. Bonds to Pepe Braddock are awoken, and it is fun to follow the song, to melt into it. Helmut Ebritsch, the second part of the production team Hatikvah, shows here his flair for a balanced sound. Hatikvah is defined with its primary meaning from the Hebrew as "hope". Elusive and valuable Hatikvah transports a rest in their songs, as if the aim is precisely targeted. Sound & soul fall at Hatikvah into one. The deeper, the better: Hatikvah stands for intensity that is palpable! More

After two very well received initial releases by Federleicht, it is time to create a path for other enlightening artists and projects: for our third release we proudly present Oculus, one of Icelands most promising producers, and Leib & Seele.
Leib & Seele (English: "body & soul")
Within this project producers Florian Schirmacher and Andreas Barth have gotten in touch with the deeper shades of House, especially concerning variations in harmonies and lyrics. As the vocals have already been compared with Rio Reiser (former singer of ""Ton Steine Scherben"), "Beizeiten" ("At times") may cause associations towards a sun-dazed yet 'living-on-razor's-edge'-state of mind; it's reinterpretation by Herrhorst & Meissner proves that the harmonies of the original version are made to cause enormous amounts of endorphine.
Oculus
Fridfinnur Sigursson, the man behind the pseudonym Oculus, is definitely on the rise to conquer Europe. His works are supported by quite a few international DJ gigolos like Laurent Garnier, Hell and GusGus's President Bongo.Fridfinnur contributed four absolutely danceable yet different tracks: "Ancient" and "Echoes" on vinyl alongside "Pre Thought Fury", "Leds" and "Beez" as digital exclusive. "Ancient" not only consists of a satisfying interaction between an energetic, powerful groove and a propulsive bassline: its spellbinding soundscape will surely hypnotize listeners with surreal and cruel sharpness. "Echo" benefits the space for a thrilling quest into while riding all time on a rhythm-monster.

FormResonance and 33rpm records present a full to the brim EP by Federleicht vs. Lawrence.A tribute to port cities in general and especially to Bremerhaven. Seaports are internal breakpoints for both Marc Bammann and Florian Schirmacher. An EP like a Sea chart. Their work has been recently honored by the Groove Magazine 03/10, as a "... wonderfully diverse world full of beauty ..., proceeding into the different vegetation naturally intertwined." Federleicht stand out in their own way. Marc and Florian know each other since 1996 and share a great enthusiasm for music beyond subgenres. They are even called sometimes in the same breath with their electronic grandfathers, like Autechre or Orbital. The Interpretation of Lawrence`s "A Place To Be" is an anchor for Federleicht and can be regarded as another important step in the process.
We thank Liebe * Detail for friendly permission to publish Federleichts remix and are excited about what may come next ;)

Yes, it's them: "Federleicht". No better way to start a label: The Newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: "Rosa Lee." Florian Schirmacher and Marc Bammann made an apt remark in naming the EP "ModeRn DaDa" to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. Music with German lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the "Supergooses ep" was rewarded as a "masterpiece" in the "de:bug".
FormResonance devides their releases in "solid", "fluid" and "aeroform" to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. "Solid" in any case with both feet down-to-club. How nice ... there should be the Klub edit of "Rosa Lee" as well.
In "Lilly & Douai ("fluid"), the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which "Federleicht" travels the two French industrial cities Lille and Douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. Such sensitive places they are...
