Taron-Trekka as a DJ & producer duo posses the gift to make people happy, in that they implant in their souls powerfully deep music. The two gentlemen call aloud from the cellar: "Can we kick it?". The audience answers back dancing, "Yes you can!" And so it goes on their second release, for the enthusiast label Milnormodern run by Treplec, which has managed to carve some room when it comes to puffed out beats. The release cycle is a gentle process. In this way such sonic pearls unfold develop to their fullest, without drowning in a flood. "Oooh, a Milnormodern – put it right in the box, ahhh a Taron-Trekka. I'll take that without having to even hear it..." What Taron-Trekka does from the wide field of deepness is fashion a diversity of color and that certain thump that fits right in-between their compositions. Regardless of whether a piece sounds a little held back, somehow it produces a BOOOM. For them, dancing is the vertical expression of the joi de vivre of the body members, based on the horizontal fantasy and an empathy for the physical More

Hailing from St Petersburg in Russia, Kito Jempere has been recognised by his peers and a wider global audience thanks to an impeccable serie of releases in recent years. It is no surprise neither that Dairmount spotted him already in 2013 with his Confusion EP on Jimpster's Freerange, followed by his Objects album on his own Fata Morgana imprint & solid releases last year on Dirt Crew & Let's Play House. His tracks have been remixed by luminaries as Nachtbraker, Jacob Korn, Roberto Rodriguez, HNNY, Juju & Jordash, OOFT or Ruf Dug...Kito & me met in Montenegro last summer at the amazing Southern Soul Festival through our friends Eddy Ramich & Lay-Far. We both played as part of the 4 days event & developed a deeper relationship. Besides our obvious common musical grounds, we both became fathers nearly at the same time, him of Theo, me of Thea. This became our red line in our exchanges" remembers Phil with a grin on the face. Following his new fatherhood and an important HD crash which led to the loss of many musical works, Kito came back from Montenegro and sat down in his studio, starting from scratch, highly inspired. The 2 tracks you hear today are the results of these sessions of total freedom without prepared sound banks or samples. Kito & Phil took the time last autumn to let the tracks "breathe" and exchanged very naturally on their arrangements & mixdowns, till Kito finalised them in the silent snowy landscapes of the Russian country side in december.

After 1 good year of hiatus & celebrating its 6th year in the game, Room With A View is back in full effect with a very special 3 tracker by Kyodai, a duo that has been gathering serious momentum after highly celebrated releases on Local Talk, Exploited, Freerange or Pokerflat to name a few. The famous brother pair has proven to be working hard in the last years recording, remixing & touring extensively. Reknown for their energitic live performances & to have deliver tracks & remixes that have been played by the Who's who of the global House scene, Kyodai have decided to choose RWAV to deliver some very personal tracks. In 2013 already, they appeared on our label with the uplifting "What You Give" that became on of the key tracks of the live sets of the last 2 years. Enjoying a long 15 years friendship with Dairmount and a common love of hybrid tracks loaded of musicality, Javi & Luis decided to lock themselves in studio last winter inspired by the idea to be the artist chosen to relaunch the label in 2015. The title Times Fly symbolises the longevity of friends that went through 2 decades of creation & exchange. And the result has been as surprising as the pair shaped up a very hypnotic & tribal red line with these new tunes. The title track "Times Fly" has been recorded in a few hours on a full moon night in their berlin studio, managing to induce a perfect balance of melancholy & tribal rhythms. Quite different of their usual sound signature, the track got everything to conquer the hearts of many different dj's & listeners this summer. "Sacred Ritual" is born of the idea of creating a special tool for Panorama Bar (where the pair just played before their studio time in january) and focusing on the power of drums & percussions. Finally, "You Know It" is reminiscent of their classic Kyodai sound epitomised by their hit Breaking with filtered basslines & catchy samples. The track has been one of the big crowd pleasers of their recent live sets More

Following our previous Pablo Valentino release (remixed by Detroit Swindle) which is still heavily played by many this summer, here comes our late summer delivery to spice up your sets. Days Of Our Lives is another fantastic House soundtrack curated by label captain Dairmount who managed to combine exclusive hottness old friends & new talent discoveries. The result is a solid 4 tracker made to satisfy the hungriest appetites.
The opener of this EP is What You Give, one of the most sought after tracks of the summer, finally coming in full glory. Why? Because it is the wonderful work of Kyodai, the Spanish duo which became one of everybody's darling of 2013 in the global House scene. With hits on Local Talk, Freerange, Pokerflat & recently Exploited under the belt, the boys are never stopping to present their powerful live performances all over the world. Presented for the first time in their Boiler Room appearance last June & played in every single live shows this summer, What You Give has been since then awaited by many... Sixth Non Sense is an amazing hybrid spacey rollercoaster made by our friend & long running producer from Finland, Roberto Rodriguez. A man that needs no introduction to tasty House connaisseurs thanks to his work on classic labels as Freerange, Large, Fina, Let's Play House & remixer of all trades of acts like Yoko Ono, Tigerstripes, Jay Shepheard, the Timewriter, Crazy P... Notes for Luisa is a bumpty groover tested & approved after many plays in Dairmount's dj sets. The track is coming courtesy of Carlo, another Spanish talent living in Berlin, also running the respectable Neovinyl & Good Ratio imprints and having a growing reputation for his live shows. Zulu Beer is the perfect closer to this well rounded release. This deep tribal odyssey has been another "human / artistic coup de coeur" of Dairmount who melted quickly for the warmth & the personality of Linda & Shy alias Sahin Meyer. A real couple in life, the South African duo has already displayed their skills on Lodemann's Best Works or the hyped Sccucci Manucci. A track showing respect & gratitude to the growing South African fan base of the label & the motherland of Shy & Linda. More

We are very happy to welcome our old friend Pablo Valentino for the second release of 2013. It is no coincidence if Pablo & Dairmount hooked up nearly 10 years ago when Pablo started his imprint Faces, dedicated to leftfield Black music influenced soundscapes rooted in Hip Hop culture. Both sharing a strong sense of underground activism, a deep love of the Black Music tree and a lovely obsession for futuristic sounds, it is no surprise that these two naturally decided to join effort under the Room with A View umbrella. Pablo's beatmaker science & love of sampling have always been highly appreciated by Phil and it didn't take him long to fall in love with One at first listening. The track displays perfectly the dusty roughness of heavy disco grooves that Pablo likes to give to his House productions. Low key harmonies & catchy Soul & funk samples are no strangers in Pablo's world. True to a spirit reminiscent of the famous Raw Cuts serie of Motor City Drum Ensemble, it is again no surprise that Valentino has been a long time friend & collaborator of Danilo Plessow. Both through their Hipsta Wonkaz production duo (on Faces & Ubiquity) & Pablo's long running curation of Danilo's work on Faces & MCDE Recordings, both friends paved a unique & personal path. As an A&R, Pablo has pushed the envelope with other unique sound scientists such as The Revenge, RedNose Distrikt or Grooveman Spot. In recent years, Pablo created the Creative Swing Alliance duo with Steven Joyce Ames with who the Strasbourg based omni-man signed brilliant works & remixes on respected labels such as Tsuba, Wolf Music, City Fly, Endless Flight, Quintessentials or K7. Next up, Pablo's monster original received the magic treatment of Amsterdam's finest Detroit Swindle. One of the hottest dj & production units of the global House scene confirms here why labels like Freerange, Saints & Sonnets or Dirt Crew went bananas to sign their early work. The Dutch duo has made a spectacular & fast rise and is already in high demand all over the planet. Their inimitable blend of melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy bass-lines seemed to be tailor made to translate a new school approach to Pablo's rooted original tune More

After an acclaimed serie of remixes on labels like Freerange, Fresh Meat, Composite & Komplex De Deep in 2011, Dairmount is back on his own imprint with Dust Devil. Recorded this summer between Gothenburg & Berlin with Nowakowski, the Swedish hotshot of the label, Dust Devil emphasized strongly Dairmount's love for House music infused of Hip Hop attitude. The motto is clear : reduced number of elements, samples only, maximum impact. Dairmount, who has always been strongly influenced by Hip Hop production techniques, had lots of fun to collaborate with Nowakowski, another strong Hip Hop influenced tweaker. Following a busy dj schedule that brought him in the last 18 months across Scandinavia, US, Turkey, France, Holland & Latvia between others, Dairmount is the true soul & ambassador of the label that he created in 2009.

Two years ago Dairmount got hooked on the fresh sounds of a young producer/DJ by the name of Martin Nowakowski. The first result of their artistic collaboration was the ‘Reframe EP’, a 4-tracker whose mesmerizing sounds grabbed the attention of quite some dignitaries of the international club scene such as Jimpster, Laurent Garnier, Steve Bug, Gerd and Simbad. Living the A&R to the fullest, Dairmount worked closely with Nowakowski to further develop his vision and sounds. After sophomore EP’s from Art of Tones and Marlow, Room with a View now proudly presents ‘Magenta’, Nowakowski’s follow up to last year’s ‘Reframe’. As a colour, magenta represents the artistic union of the energetic red and the introspective violet, which is demonstrated in the 5 different shades of the artist on this EP. ‘Magenta 1’ is a light- hearted house banger, built around a sexy disco sample, whereas the vibes of ‘Magenta 2’ take us into minor musical territory. ‘Magenta 3’ delivers the very same hypnotizing trademark sounds we were introduced to through Nowakowski first RWAV EP . ‘Magenta 4’ represents a deep bounce, with intriguing bleeps and cut-up vocals. Finally Nowakowski’s love of Detroit is displayed through the abyssal synths and bouncing beats in ‘Magenta 5’. The ‘Magenta’ EP displays a sonic portrait of the artist as a young man, it’s a freshly sounding blueprint of what’s to come. The future is bright, the future is… magenta.

Considered by Danilo himself, as one of his most personal tracks ever, the joint is a masterpiece of slomo timeless moody House Music. Coming as A2 is Pet In My Sea, a very special track displaying the amazing talent of the latest signing of the RWAV camp. Nowakowski is the young Swedish talent that Dairmount developped in secrecy in 2011 who released already on the Catz'n'Dogz imprint Pets. Definitely a rising start for 2012.

Damn right isn't it? And finally, Marino Berardi provides a very valuable contribution with Best Intention, a classic track of the label, often compared to the sound esthetics of Braddock & Herbert, who has been a prime favorite of people as diverse as Joris Voorn, Milton Jackson or Trevor Jackson...

The wave of love & applause surrounding Art of Tones this year has been phenomenal & well deserved. Long running stalwart of the global House scene for nearly 20 years, Ludovic Llorca has brought his work at the forefront with labels such as F Communications & 2020 Vision. In 2009, he lived an creative renaissance by uniting with Room with A View, finding with the guidance of Dairmount, a new genuine inspiration shelter. Several tracks started to appear on the label in the Perspectives serie and his first EP ” The World As I Live It” was released in march 2010 combining a huge critical & popular acclaim.
Literally everyone played tracks of the EP and it is still a firm favorite of many one year after. This spring, Art Of Tones contributed with “Too Much” to the 5th instalment of the Perspectives serie. This one became again one of the most played track of the summer according to Resident Advisor. Mr llorca has also been a very in demand remixer as witness recent additions to his already impressive remixography : Tortured soul on Fred Everything’s Lazy Days, TJ Kong on Compost, Evan Evans on The Revenge’s Instruments of Rapture, Marcos in Dub for Alma Soul, Mario Basanov for Under The Shade. He is also currently finishing his version of the next Toolroom big hit Punky Blaster’s Missin’. Llorca also freshly released "La debandade EP" as the follow-up to his big Ep of 2010.This brand new 3 tracker is a kind of tribute of Ludovic to the 90’s US House sound that inspired him to start to produce music in his early days. But instead of going for a superficial retro touch, he chosed to recreate the spirit in his very own way. For Real has been preciously kept out of the EP to be released ONLY ON VINYL as a genuine gift for vinyl lovers. Available here in 3 versions, this beauty will fits perfectly in the most classy dj sets.
