After establishing himself with releases on Dim Mak and GND, Jägerverb now joins forces with Lektroluv to present for your aural pleasure the trio of sonic delights that is the Phosphenes EP.
Conceived at a carnival in central São Paulo, Jägerverb was exposed to the infectious grooves of rhythm and melody from the earliest stages of his foetal development. However, the child was not born on Brazilian soil. Instead, Jägerverb entered into the isolated civilisation of an unchartered island some distance from the North-West coast of France. Jägerverb soon became disillusioned by his company and surroundings after hearing rumours that the locals frequented bars and clubs offering exclusively commercial dance and drum and bass. But, by some fortunate coincidence, he became acquainted with a band of rebels dedicated to the distribution of house and techno .mp3's illegally imported from overseas. Jägerverb was educated by the rebels on the rich abundance of music available beyond the island’s shores. He was taught of bizarre foreign instruments known as ‘computers’ and ‘synthesisers’, the operation of which would allow him to mimic the musical grooves he so adored. And so Jägerverb plotted his mission to escape the entrapment of the island. Armed with a laptop and a bottle of elk blood infused liqueur, Jägerverb set to work creating grooves of his own.
Not only were we elected as 3rd best label, The Subs won the bronze prize in the best live-act category, and Musketon - who did the artwork for Modek, Jägerverb & Daisypark Trailerchain for us - was the runner-up in the graphic design competition.
BIG thanks to everyone that voted for us!
That was fun!
We hope you had as much fun as we, last Saturday during I Love Techno. Wanna keep that vibe alive? Get yourself Erol Alkan's official I Love Techno mix compilation!
Taking place on the 10th of November, this year’s I Love Techno is held at the Flanders Expo in Ghent and as ever is expected to attract some 35,000 people across 5 rooms making it Europe's leading indoor dance event. Erol Alkan is one of the headliners this year, next to other hot acts such as Boys Noize, Vitalic, Gesaffelstein, Modeselektor, A-Trak and many many more.
Erol Alkan is a London based DJ and producer. He has remixed tracks from artists such as Franz Ferdinand, Justice, MGMT, Hot Chip, Scissor Sisters and Connan Mockasin amongst many others. Erol Alkan has produced a few guitar bands, often works together in the studio with his good friend Boys Noize and is one half of Beyond The Wizards Sleeve. He also runs his own label Phantasy Sound, has a radio show on BBC 6 Music... A busy bee is definitely an understatement for Erol Alkan!
His 2005 "Bugged Out" mix is a real classic, so after previous editions by Crookers and Steve Aoki, we’re proud to present you "I LOVE TECHNO 2012 MIXED BY EROL ALKAN" on Lektroluv!
