D2. Open Door (Gerd Remix) 08:51

Release Info:
In certain circles, this is a record that would easily be called „eternal“. Back in 1996, when it was originally released, it sounded like nothing else - and still does. The sixth record of Frankfurt’s soon to be imperial Playhouse label and Losoul’s first outing on the label, it hot-wired many things at once: house and techno, US roots and European fruits, grittiness and wittiness, high tech funk, the expansion pf playtimes and the concept of minimalism in dance music. Elegance met effectiveness.
A composition that hooked you and also caused a stir elsewhere. Daniel Bell licensed it to his Elevate label and commissioned a very young Theo Parrish to remix it, Michel De Hey did the same with his EC Records and treatments by Gerd among others.
Here you finally get both of those carefully restored, remastered and reissued next to the originals. Amply placed on a double 12“, it also features the previously unreleased D1. Stemming from the same time and era as Open Door it rings and feels like a compact lost brother. Addictive as on the very first day and here to stay.

4. SHORT INFO:
Losoul, whose real name is Peter Kremeier, has been one of the leading figures of legendary 90's and 00's German label Playhouse. He released numerous LPs and EPs during the last three decades, including underground hit "Open Door". He also appeared under the names "Silhouette Electronique" and "Don Disco". Belong, originally released in 2000, gathers nine titles of pure electronic music. From minimalistic house (Taste not Waste), through 90's trip hop (Sunbeams in the rain) all the way to more experimental endeavors (Late Play). The album also includes the track "Overland" which samples the bassline of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson in an eccentric and joyful way.Belong represents the 2000's musical turn, with its delicate, smart, minimal and emotionally groovy sound. A pioneering yet soulful layout of independent electronic music.

Article:
RESIDENT ADVISOR
"Belong is one of the most important documents of early microhouse, helping to define the nascent scene upon its release in 2000."

2021 Repress

Tracklist:
A1. Side Street Noise B1. Passing Sun
Short info:
Next round for Another Picture. After exploring the highs in electricity and the lows of the deep grounds we go further into things. Sensing vibration of the fire below and turning it into a never-ending evolution of sound and groove. This is what you might know about Losoul tracks - and here you can't go wrong either. There are scattered artefacts of the city bringing vibe and inspiration - the streets, the people, the concrete, the action - it's all in between.
Then there's the ever-changing beauty of nature out there on a day to just leave things as they are. Soul, movement and emotion. Again Losoul gives a strong example of experience from his longterm career in house and techno production and performing. Two pieces of music timeless in many ways.
See you on the dancefloor. And everywhere else.

2x12" LP

Tracklist :
A1. Echo Walk
A2. Boppin Lower
B1. Gold Tooth
B2. There We Were
C1. Square Down Smoother
C2. Mean Time
D1. Lava In You

Short info:
Losoul returns to action with his first long player in almost ten years, and delivers a stunning collection of
compositions for the Hypercolour released “Island Time”.
Otherwise known as Peter Kremeier, the German producer has mesmerized us for many years with his organic
and emotive house music, largely released on the influential Playhouse label, but of late has seen him release
singles for Karat and Tardis Records, as well as his very own Another Picture label.
Fans of Losoul won’t be disappointed, as a diverse yet utterly familiar sound aesthetic pours out over the album’s
seven tracks in his own inimitable style. The jazzy broken beats of “Gold Tooth” shine with their micro-sample
chops, whilst “Mean Time” is a dense and dubby slow stomp, teasing the drums with space echo and injecting
sparse bass work where it matters. Inventive, spongy house grooves are delivered on “Boppin Lower” and
“Square Down Smoother” whilst the album closer, “Lava In You” is a master class in ambient sonics and
shimmering keys over a lo-fi swinging groove.
It’s been over 20 years since Losoul’s signature single “Open Door”, and the German producer continues to pour
out honest and rewarding music.

Tracklist 12”:
A1. Daddy, What’s A Rise?
B1. Time & Space
Short info:
Peter Kremeier, AKA Losoul, has always been an artist we’ve greatly admired here at Hypercolour, so it was a real thrill to
have him on the label back in 2014, and here we have an essential repress of the ‘Slowly Turning’ release. A huge catalogue
of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like Playhouse, Moodmusic and Freak ‘n’ Chic, Losoul turns in two
exceptional tracks on this EP that were lapped up on the initial release.
‘Daddy, What’s A Rise?’ is classic Losoul; a heavy low slung groove never lets up, with micro disco stabs and distant vocal
snippets, looping round and round for over 10 minutes, but without ever standing still, the filtering and deft touches keep things
moving at just the right funky pace.
B side cut ‘Time & Space’ is a glitchy and dubbed out affair, a solid 4/4 beat underpins a myriad of delayed percussion and
panning synths, spatial effects and an incessant chord stab, head music for the heads indeed!
Selected DJ reactions
Troy Pierce (Items & Things) – Classic Losoul! Good stuff…
Josh Wink (Ovum) – dig the simplicity of Losoul’s tracks, groovin!
Jimpster (Freerange) – I’m a big fan of Losoul so dead happy to hear some new stuss, this is killer too, especially ‘Daddy’, defo playing this out a
lot
Ralph Lawson (2020 Vision) – Heavy as you would expect!
Will Saul (Aus) – Epic win!
Roman Fluegel – Great material by a true legend!
Midland – Very good, thanks
Roy Davis Jnr – Deadly groove!
Detroit Swindle – Classic Losoul, nice one
Ewan Pearson - Losoul is one of the great European house producers and doesn't seem to get the props that some of his peers get. This is as
usual a cut above - Daddy is more than a disco loop, and Time & Space is completely hypnotic.
Davide Squillace – Just fantastic, big fan of Losoul
Raresh (arpiar) – superb release, wow, thanks a lot!
Mr. G – great production

Tracklist:
A Soda Island
B Sparkling Please
Short info:
For the sixth release on Tardis Records, label owners Eli Verveine and Oscar Schubaq proudly
present two tracks from the personal archives of Peter Kremeier a.k.a. Losoul, a man who has been
rocking dancefloors and enchanting listeners with his uniquely abstract and tripped-out take on
minimal house for two decades and counting. On the A-side, “Soda Island” hangs cut-up vocal stabs
over the last word in bone-dry, bass-heavy grooves. “Sparkling Please” on the flip starts out cheerfully
but then subtly mutates into spooked insectoid psychedelia anchored by crisp percussion and bass.
Drop either of these cuts at the right moment and watch the dancers lose their minds! Mastered and
cut by Stefan Betke at Scape Mastering.

Tracklist:
A1. Santo Antonio B1. Mais Populares B2. Green Door

Shortinfo:
Back on Another Picture after his strong and dubby 'Janeiro EP' in 2017 DJ Honesty delivers new material of a more uplifting but still abstract vibe.

The tracks have a classic feel but tell their own story.. a story of a deep and playful experience - narrated with unparalleled ease and subtle motivation.

DJ Honesty's tracks ooze that fascination for groove, presence and the beauty of detail. They enjoy to be with dancers and listeners at any moment. They go their own, often unexpected, ways but again never miss that elegant flow and natural punch we ever love so much..

The light and electrifying atmospere sparkles like sunlight on the waves at the beaches. Be ready for sophisticated fun, soulful deepness, at times melancholic yet trippy moments.. always dedicated.

Join the experience - get in touch !

(DJ Honesty also appears on Cabinet, Quality Vibe, Eclipse Chaser, Bass Culture and Scenario Rec.)

Tracklist:
A1. EO1 B1. Plainsong
Info:
Losoul's Another Picture label follows on from EPs in 2017 by Honesty and the label boss himself with a new two tracker by Japanese artist Sasaki Hiroaki. The Yotsume label owner is based in Tokyo and his sleek sounds take cues from 80s new wave and look for a soulful vibe in electronic music. 2018 has already seen him release on Open Recordings and now he offers up some warm house rollers for Another Picture.
'EO1' is eight minutes of rubbery drums and loose, scattered percussion, tumbling toms and clicks. Dreamy chords light up the background and the whole thing drives ever deeper into the night, always evolving as it goes. On the flip, 'Plain Song' is just as heartfelt, but icy hi hats and metal stabs are more upright, getting you on your toes and keeping you there for another eight minutes of organic, authentic deep house bliss.

UPC: 827170455689 Release : 13.10.2014
Tracklist A1. BZA A2. Sediments
Shortinfo:
Welcome to Another Picture. After two decades of releasing music and much longer time being involved with music and production Losoul introduces a series of fine yet outstanding pieces of music. Being based on classic sound production this release opens a space for a wide range of musical exposure.
You know the high times - you know low life. You can't deny both ways can't really exist without each other. There is the raw energy of 'BZA' consisting of rolling beats and basslines with sounds from the acidic realm being presented to the restless dancefloors by true originators' poetry. Believe that.
This is counterparted by 'Sediments', a jam from nowhere else but the deep. Down here many things you might have taken for being lost remain in the abstract vibe and the groove.
It's all in there. Let's go full circle.
