John Tejada and Arian Leviste are back on Areal after their much celebrated release “Reactance“. These guys are working for 25 years together meeting up weekly in the studio to try new things. They say themselves that it is their longest and most special collaboration. They use mainly hardware with an old school mind set that comes more from the early 80s NYC hip hop culture than anything else. Early pioneers misusing gear and making the best of their limitations. Their newest release “Hysteresis“ comes along strongly functional for the club.

"Following a decade of producing and DJing as Hrdvsion, Nathan Jonson steps...at what point does this world become too complex for it's creator to be all knowing and all powerful? to create an ever changing there needs to be an ever expanding complexity. as in to say never again because of impossibility. we are changing therefore we can never be the same. within this infinite expansion a complexity that has always been, is now revealed."

It was a hot summer day, no clouds in the big blue sky, as I suddenly got up to return my friends basketball after not returning it for more then 10 years. I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I had to do it right now. As I walked down the street holding that ball I was flooded with memories. The party at Michael's house. Those crazy Technokids from upper Austria. The drinks, the drugs, the girls, the blurry parts... One memory was especially blurry, the one where I pick up that basketball. I was alone in my friends garage, the repetitive sound of filtered kickdrums coming from inside the house. I remember feeling like I am not really alone. Flashy lights. My memory seemed to be coming back more and more the closer I get now. The garage door was open. I got inside. I try to put the ball back in the cardboard box where I took it from as the garage door closes. Darkness. A voice whispers: "I smell your sound and I eat your colors"

And as the spirits of Metope`s country-themed album "Black Beauty" are riding towards the blood red sunset of the Sierra Berlina, suddenly, a hornblowing cavalry arrives. Starring: Louie Fresco notorious fellow from Mexico, unshaved and unimpressed by anyone or anything blocking his way. Wanted dead or alive for his releases on "Nr.19 Music" and "Mexa Records". Joerg Burger, Lucky Luke`s twin brother and legendary gunslinger from Cologneville. Wanted dead or alive, usually riding with the Kompakt gang as the Modernist / Bionaut or Burger/Ink (with one of the heavy Voigt brothers). Sid Le Rock, named after his big rock that he uses to club people over the head in their sleep. No one ever heard the half indian coming. Don`t ever pee on his tipi, seriously, don`t. / My favourite Robot Ada, she is one crazy cowgirl. Famous for her mysterious ability to dodge under the bullet in hundreds of duels. When she was supposed to be hung by her ponytail she made smokesignals with her cigarette, calling for her friend Sid to rescue her. Wanted dead or alive for unspeakable crimes for the Areal gang, IRR and Pampa.

After having blessed the world with "Soarex" released on our sublabel IRR (International Records Recordings), including a remix by Ada, we would now like to welcome von Spar to Areal. And this time, the remix comes from no other than techno legend John Tejada. With "Jon Voight", the Hamburg-based artists have created another epic masterpiece in line with their earlier electronic tracks: Great emotions, melodies you will never forget... in other words: a track that will send something of a shiver down your spine. Tejada, of Austrian decent now living in the United States, shows full respect for the original version and comes up with a remix that has proven immensely effective on the dancefloor. It so effective that we still find ourselves awestruck in the studio. Well, in the meantime, we have to admit that we went out to one or two parties, but only to find ourselves back in the studio again, still awestruck.

Areal has gathered all its friends and fellows to celebrate its glorious past. Each of them had received the same message with the following content: Enclosed, you will find samples taken from more than 200 tracks released on Areal between 001 (Basteroid / Automatique) and 057 (Metope / Betawol). No Rules! And our words have obviously fallen on open ears: The called have poured onto us supreme grandeurs of music whereby each of them individually tackled the historic collection of sound files. You can literally feel the fun they had quoting the label's history and the loads of positive energy. So, we would now like to proudly present: "a 100 years of Areal" A wonderful collection of homages of Areal's old and new friends, such as: Schleppstigg, Hrdvsion, Undo, The Cheapers, Pan/Tone, Pascal FEOS and Frank Leicher, Andreas Henneberg, Fairmont, Metope, Basteroid and Falko Brocksieper.
