Kai & Holger return from their Stateside adventures with Matthew Pervert on Get Physical. 'Matthew Pervert' is a slow buidling groove attack. Saucy percussion sets the mood for a deep pumping bass under chords. A sassy vocal adds to the analogue ambience, worked in a coat of reverb and doused with delay. A sexy sound for steamy nights on the neverending dancefloor sessions Smash TV are known for.
The second track, 'Please', starts immediately with a deep horn falling under kicks. A touch of techno emerges from the darkness and drives us insane. Followed by deep vocal lines and foggy chords to melt us at the core. This is your evening high, the point when you float away and the music takes you to a place beyond the dancefloor. Looking forward to hearing this in the next set from the boys.

Tracklist EP:
a1 Desert a2 Desert ( Danton Eeprom protofunk rework ) b1 Desert ( Juju & Jordash remix )
Short info:
For the next release on Souvenir, the label dips into the past of almost 30 years ago to retrieve this forgotten souvenir of the times, dusting off and rejuvenating Section 25's classic, 'Desert', taken from the album, 'From the Hip' on Manchester's infamous Factory Records. This reappropriation of the 1984 track is the perfect choice for two very seasoned producers whose own musical history dates back to those days: Mahk (Mahk Rumbae) and DJ Morpheus (Samy Birnbach). As a vocalist, A&R, label manager, DJ, producer, musician and more, DJ Morpheus has been involved in music from the late 80s. He formed part of cult act Minimal Compact during the mid-80s then went onto producing as the Gruesome Twosome (releasing their biggest hit 'Hallucination Generation' in 1989), and then later, in 1994, worked as A&R for SSR/ Crammed Discs, taking the helm of their much loved Freezone Compilations, exposing the world to artists as varied and cutting edge as DJ Cam, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Photek, Abacus, T-Power, The Mighty Bop aka Bob Sinclar, Howie B, Coldcut, Carl Craig, Basement Jaxx, 4 Hero, Josh Wink, Plaid, Alex Gopher and more. Working in electronic music since the late 1980s too, Mahk has spent much of his time working in the experimental field, both as part of long running industrial/ experimental band Konstruktivists as well as on a number of solo projects. He also produced dance and techno in the early 90s, then in the late 90s in the UK drum and bass scene, releasing tracks on Mickey Finn and Aphrodite's label Urban Takeover. Mahk continues to work on new music, recently returning to the techno scene with his new dark techno project Codex Empire.
The A-side sees the pair reinterpret the much loved Factory Records track, twisting it into a slow driving, bloody curdling, arpeggiated late night anthem for the freaks. Complimenting this reworking is a remix from prolific French electronic producer, Danton Eeprom who injects a little more funk with a chopped and slapped bass with piqued guitar hooks, all cloaked in dubbed out reverb ambience. For the B-side, industrial and analogue noodlers Juju & Jordash turn in what can only be described as a tripped out journey through the stems of the original which perfectly rounds out this fascinating update of a once loved classic.

Tracklist EP: a1 Bis April b1 Rions
Short info:
Familiar friends of the label, French duo Jules & Moss return to Tiefschwarz's ever-reliable Souvenir imprint with another stomping two-tracker designed for those late nights and early mornings. Situated at the very centre of a musical centrifuge, French duo Jules & Moss find themselves drawing upon an array of different influences spanning rock, jazz, classical but landing somewhere firmly rooted in the electronic spectrum. Their style is characterized by an atmosphere of their own making, laden with sleaze, enhanced with groove and drenched in originality. After releasing on Dirtybird, Monique Musique and Tiger Records, amongst a wealth of others, the duo show here exactly why Souvenir is the perfect home for their productions. On this EP, the pair never lose sight of the one very important thing: dancing. Making further explorations into electronic sounds, toying with heavy-hitting percussion, earworm vocals, spacious pads and funk-fuelled basslines.

French producer David K is ready to announce his debut album, 'Out of Range,' an off-the-radar mixture of romantic melodies on drugs, rocking beats à la parisienne, and sounds to turn you on, released on Tiefschwarz's ever reliable imprint, Souvenir.
David K represents something that's all too rare in electronic music today: an artist who makes music first and club music second. For him, emotion is paramount, melody is important, the pop format has its perks and original material is always better than a sample. Late at night and early in the morning, he can be found tapping away on his keyboards and throwing together arrangements on the fly (a pianist by training, he can't bear to make music slouched over a mouse). His only goal is to make something that will keep himself dancing.
His roots are in Paris, where he lived his entire life until 2011. He started DJing in the late 80s on a makeshift set of gear, complete with a radio and tape deck, but once he hit his first rave in '91 he went straight for the Technics 1200s. He was making a living as a teacher and graphic designer, but like some invisible cosmic force, the life of the full-time artist kept drawing him in. Always involved in creating, composing, and mixing, he began his production career with the Boogabaloo EP on Sismic in 2002, a small Parisian house label. Not long after that he fell in with some key figures in the Paris' underground club scene, such as Dan Ghenacia, who brought him into the Freak n' Chic stable. "This album has been 10 years in the making. Well, almost." he points out. "I started to hold on to some of the tracks I was writing over the past decade or so. I suppose you could say that this album is a bit like a bedside-table book which transcends all of my influences, my musical history, and my idea of modern music." David has always worked conscientiously with the dance-floor in mind, though his sound has always dipped into the outer reaches of myriad genres; rock, funk and unashamedly straight-up pop, a confluence which draws on his honest inspirations. The range of influence can be heard right through the album Beyond drawing upon mere historical influence, he has also brought on board close friends including guest appearances which only help add to the album's rich makeup: dOP frontman Jaw appears on "How Beautiful You Are," frequent collaborator Opium (of La Boetie and Nouvelle Vague) sings on "Intro," whilst old friend and Italian producer, Francesco Farfa, shares writing credits on recent single, "Come Up From the Darkness," David's own voice comes through on on "Show Me The Deal." Like all of his records, the entire package is glazed in the quirky eccentricity, nonchalant percussion and irresistible hunk of sleazy and funk-fueled boogie that we've come to expect of his productions over the years.
In a world of increasingly short attention spans, 142-character, self-styled status updates, ubiquitous smartphones and Big Brother-esque governmental spying, David K shows that sometimes it's good to just take yourself 'Out of Range' for a while.

David K represents something that's all too rare in electronic music today: an artist who makes music first and club music second. For him, emotion is paramount, melody is important, the pop format has its perks and original material is always better than a sample. Late at night and early in the morning he dances alone in his studio, tapping away on his keyboards and throwing together arrangements on the fly (a pianist by training, he can't bear to make music slouched over a mouse). His only goal is to make something that will keep himself dancing. David K's roots are in Paris, where he lived his entire life until 2011.

Cocoon, Guy Gerber's Supplement Facts, Tsuba Records, Visionquest, and, more recently, Tiefschwarz's carefully curated Sounvenir and sub-label NAU. His new single, alongside Italian-born house and techno producer Francesco Farfa for Souvenir sees the pair draw upon their unique, shared skillsets. Initially Farfa contacted David to enlist him for remix duties on one of his tracks. After listening to the remix, Farfa asked him to refurbish the original together. 'Come up from the darkness' marks another stellar collaboration between the pair. The release pulls together three quirky and eccentric dance-floor ready cuts, complete with a vocal tool for DJs. Live percussion, nonchalant bass bumps and pitched down vocals come together in unison to create an irresistible slice of sleazy, funk-fueled boogie that brings light to anyone who listens. Come up from the darkness.

Tracklist EP: A1. Stab The Slab B1. Zaafaran B2. I Say
Whether he is headlining at nightclubs or playing a marathon set for an underground afterhours event, Elon has a key asset in shaping New York's vibrant underground music scene. And with this new EP, Stab the Slab, he effortlessly showcases the sophistication in the style and sound which has earned him this central positioning in both NYC and beyond. Since his first release in 2006 on Made to Play, Elon has produced several successful EPs and remixes on labels such as Get Physical, Clink, Dumb-Unit and Metroline. His releases, like Bummalo with Maceo Plex, Noose and Fuck Cuba EPs have received global support which led to the launch of his own imprint, ReSolute Label in 2011. On 'Stab the Slab', Elon has laid down layers of pitch-bending cow bells, wandering arpeggios - building to crescendo - bright chimes and energetic percussion, undercut with grooving basslines that venture to the deeper, dark side of his sound. The slabs are there to be stabbed.

Tracklist EP: A1. Trident B1. Perseus
It's becoming a rarer and rarer thing nowadays, especially in this fast growing, overcrowded world of music, to find well educated musicians with the ability to read music and play instruments. Kenny Leaven (real name Andreas Braun), however, is one of the few. Besides running his own label Elenore Records since 2009, founding and organising Erfurts Bayou Festival, he is still producing quality music. Kenny's new EP for Souvenir keeps in line with his unique, interstellar sound; two quirky, eccentric cosmic cuts which stand unparalleled by other producers right now. Both tracks on the single recall something of the Balearic euphoria of Todd Terje's recent output as well as making humble references to the pumping analogue bass of Italo and more rigid early 80s electronic explorations. Step on board and prepare yourself for an interplanetary, cosmic journey through music history, expertly examined through a modern lens.

Coming just a short time after the release of his collated singles collection, Retrospective, the first track on this new 12" from Chris Wood & Meat comes courtesy of deep house don, Mr. G. His remix provides a sparse take on the original 'Cock Robin,' jacking straight ahead into a hard-hitting house rhythm, complete with finger-clicks and vocal stabs. A definite dance-floor roller. On the flip, the duo have provided a brand new cut, 'Tony's Pipe,' which rattles with drilling percussion and soaks itself in a modulating, acid-tinged synth line, all built around emerging, muffled vocal samples.

The same track gets a decidedly deeper once over from none other than, Eric Volta (Ellum, Visionquest). On the flip, "The Future" is a Miami bass vs. techno tune with some real old school house feeling injected into it, featuring the unmistakable voice of the wondrous Navid Izadi (Wolf+Lamb, Soulclap).

Tracklist EP: A1. 11 am ( before ) B1. 11 am ( after ) B2. 11 am ( Hreno and the Mole ´s mhmd remix )
Marco Freivogel's first solo release provides a fresh direction for this seasoned producer. Marco will already be known to those in the techno world for his live project Exercise One, with his partner of 10 years Ingo Gansera. As the full time producer of Exercise One, Marco has released records on Mobilee, Wagon Repair, Cocoon and their own Exone & Lan Muzic labels, as well as remixing everyone from Shackleton and Peter Van Hosen to Sian and Dapayk & Padberg. But in the last few years Marco has been producing behind the scenes on a number of new projects for artists including Tiefschwarz, Dave Vega, Mama and Elif Bicer, and collaborating with friends on new music, such as last years stunning EP as Exercise One vs Mathew Jonson 'Lost Forever In Happy Crowd'. This 12" for Souvenir in 2013 will be the first solo release, but marco also has plans later in the year to introduce his new live solo techno project that's inspired by his early musical days playing in industrial bands. The original '11am (before)' is a winding house track, featuring the vocal talents of Elif Bicer, who's previously known for her work with Ben Klock, Prosumer and Steffi. For '11am (after)' Marco strips back the melodies and toughens things up. The remix comes courtesy of Canadian friends The Mole & Hreno, who deliver a characteristic bouncing rework to get the dance floors pulsing.

Hot on the heels of release 050 from Tiefschwarz with Argenis Brito on vocal duty, comes a neat remix package with contributions from David K, Strangers in Heaven and Re-UP.
French producer David K has released on all the major Parisian labels, Freak n' Chic, Rue De Plaisance, Jetaime amongst others. Here he serves up a double dose, his 'Allegro' rework anything but, the vocals twisted out of recognition into a muttering chorus of demonic gremlins, while the mutant drums steadily beat out an ominous tone. A distant marimba and the odd piano chord that's left hanging, a quizzical non sequitur, lift the melody. On the flip, David's 'Grand Piano' pairs a shuffling, almost jazzy beat with a shower of tinkling pianos, the vocals washed with melancholy from the keystrokes that slowly morph into plucked strings.
Souvenir's very own mysterious twosome, Strangers in Heaven, beef up the kick and make the bassline snake and swirl, turning up the groove factor. The vocals provide respite from the tension, while skittering synth sounds come up close against the hypnotic beat. Upon You stalwarts Re-UP take it deep, a throbbing bassline playing off the tightest of snare hits, a squelching synth hitting suddenly and a distended voice appearing too out of nowhere. It's a total transformation, none of the original parts distinguishable, as if seen through a prism of the unsettling.

UPC A Barcode: 827170475861 Releasedate: 26 nov 2012
We're still recovering from our big FIVE OH milestone, but the music never stops and this time we have something new from Souvenir wunderkind Re.You.
It's been a pretty wild year for Marius Maier AKA Re.You, his live with Rampa debuting at Fabric at our label take over, plus dropping a massive 12" on Gigolo, plus solo releases on Avotre, Mobilee and of course his home away from home, Souvenir. This time round he brings the funk on 'Insanity' with a trademark, treated vocal serving from LIA. The track brings it real close, close enough for breath to from little droplets of condensation against a cold window. A niggling percussive interplay sends the track reeling all over the dancefloor, various creaks and whistles playing off each other until a solid bassline swoops in meaning business. What's known in the industry as a straight weapon! 'Lonely' follows with a more frantic tempo, a small drum pattern loops, throwing you with its slightly skewed beat. Some techy snares build the tension while some off key chords supply the haunted melody. On the flip Re.You brings it down a notch, going straight deep house. Again, his masterful use of ethereal vocal samples build both mood and drive the beat. An unintelligible phrase phasing out of sync until what seems like a percussive denouement, the bassline returning with gusto for a serious second round. 'Closer' gets a much more upbeat rework from Southern French producers Amine Edge & DANCE. They keep the vocal sample as a skeleton, but build up the track in much bubblier fashion, a playful synth line earworms while a chunky, dancefloor-friendly bassline punctuates the whole thing.
