the heat could have been more relaxed at the blotablota gallery in mainz on saturday. brutal 40 degreeze! friends with the benefit of not caring about that joined us when we celebrated our first vernissage. solid m, tilman and hernan grau from argentina handed out some more heat, when around 2 o’clock the bürgersteige foldet up. nice work micha! if your’e interested in buying stuff, please contact michael directly michael@klamauk.net
whatever the last 6 month brought to me, it was a drifting feast into my selfbuild second reality. beside the nonparticipation of some mutual students, this was the time i really doubted my mental state.
all works of my diploma deal about klamauk, which is, honestly, my only love these days. sad but true: social contacts vs diploma 0:1. but, if you think about “how to make the label different and if there is something wich the audience haven’t seen” you either go for it or quit. is that really possible these days or is there always someone somewhere – with same thoughts?
best, you find out yourself! the vernissage of my 2 week long diploma exhibition will take place at the galery “BlotaBlota” in mainz, on the 10th of july 2010! keysubject: “how to redecorate a club for a label night with own resources. a sneak preview of the artwork of the next 3 klamauk releases, as well as some pictures for your own home.”
tilman and solidm plays music. beer in the fridge.
looking forward to se you all!

after the booked location in mainz got canceled two days before the party, we were in a hurry to find a new one, because everything was planed, flyers were produced and keinzweiter arranged his first liveset only for this event. fortunately we found a good alternate location with the “clöeb frisch multibar” in wiesbaden. so we had to do a lot of advertisement in the last days to communicate, that the party will be at the other side of the rhine river. the dancefloor was located in the basement of the club. it got crowded quickly and the fact that the music was not that loud as usual, the atmosphere still was great. supported by the local dj’s trojan and sarah de la rosa, keinzweiter played his liveset debut very proper, with some tunes from his album and new housy stuff. tilman completed the great night in the early morning with a nice dj set. we went home at 8-9 am, can’t remember clearly….

“A skilful collection of tracks spanning multiple genres : the haunting vocals of Nina Simone juxtaposed with the pumping bass line on ‘Rising’, the catchy pop-house of ‘Puince’, the funk infused ‘Biscouit’; each are examples of the eclecticism and talent of this latest offering. Another touchstone for Perlon.” (The Burlington Project)

Bron, a mysterious giant from the plains of Canada’s sub arctic region, comes out of nowhere with Danksoul’s second release “Great White North”. Bron’s debut record is a truly northern take on the infectious grooves of micro house. The title track, “Great White North”, is a jacked-up home grown classic that has been garnering a cult-like following in Canada since its inception a couple years back. French avant-garde house producer Le K provides a heavy handed remix, which will surely occupy a permanent space in record boxes and play lists across the globe. Bron polishes off this EP with the bouncy beats and bass of “Splash Back”, followed by the soulful space hop of “Postcards from the Prairies”
A1 Bron – Great White North
A2 Bron – Great White North (le k’s almost black! remix)
B1 Bron – Splash Back
B2 Bron – Postcard from the Prairies

Between typography and illustrations the Mainz based designer Marcel Fleischmann has still enough time to sound his unusual creations that rank to work at the interface between classical Minimal and Mainz influenced Microhouse. Planatol is a cross-section of his work from the recent years and is mainly through the loving use of jazz harmonies to take on the clicking and minimal beat scaffolding to come together into a unity of opposites.

“Undefinition means more than not defining. Neither is it just re-defining. It expresses an urge for a perpetual state of change, an urge to feel oneself opening up to the plurality of reality.
Undefinition is rooted in discovering that the stability of human existence is not placed in traditions, systems and rules, but in the possibility to play and wonder; that humans, through play, can experience more of our reality.”
- Marianne Klause

Seen as the pioneer of the new experimental/minimal house style in France over ten years ago with releases on Brif, ARK has gone on to collaborate with and inspire a multitude of today’s established and rising stars across Europe… and the world !
From his origins as guitarist in a number of 80’s funk bands, most notably Trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is Pepe Bradock and onto the great Matthew Herbert & LoSoul with their first collaboration, ‘Belle Lurette’ in ‘99. The ‘Alleluyark’ EP series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. His 2005 long player on Perlon, ‘Caliente’ won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with Shalom (as Shalark), Krikor (as Krikark), Cabanne (as Copacabannark), Mikael Weill (as Les Cerveaux Lents) and Dolibox. His cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of Stephen Beaupre, Mr. Ozio, Archive, Mossa, Salif Keita, Slabb, Krikor, Fym, Cabanne…

Frivolous is the imaginary personification of my obsession with sound-design for both dancing and living alike. Manifesting itself in a multitude of performances and recorded works, my sound has been described as Jazz-infused minimal or experimental house. Stemming from an educational background in Classical Piano, electronics and Interdisciplinary Design, my “dynamic” one-man performances have taken stage from Montreal to Germany, Moscow to Texas, and many places in between all the way back to Vancouver which was my birth-place. Currently I’m calling Berlin “Home”.

in november 2009 i visited my old friend tammo and his family in philadelphia. during my stay i took the chance to go to new york city, wich is a smooth 2 hour ride from philly. 13 years since i been to new york. an old friend from german school days in DC lives there, so i had a place to stay. while erik was pretty busy with his own project “Bipolart” i had two days of walking around, checking out some vinyl stores in manhatten and brooklyn.
i had 7 on my list, of which two, etherea and vinyl market, were closed or at least are only selling online now. but there are actually quite a few vinyl dominated record shops left in new york, if you look in for example west village. i was walking down bleeker street and found rebel rebel and bleeker street records plus one other in a side street. they did not have any electronic so, i went on to other music on 15 E. 4th Street in greenwich Village, a pretty big store with mostly cds, but some selected vinyls as well. i bought the red (beautone) and the blue (the dramatics) / klang elektronik “Farben”, but went no further because of my schedule and the fact that there was no chance to prelisten the vinyls. so it’s either “you know or you go”.
next stop (walking distance 15 min.) turntable lab at 120 E 7th St., a small store with some very nice pieces in there! the store carrys mostly house, hip hop and disco stuff and some detroit. jamah, the owner is a nice guy, i am shure he’ll welcome you as friendly as me. perfect setting to hang out and browse. boughtmichna, selections from magic monday (ghostly international, comes with t-shirt!), the revenge/forever in their debt (hometaping 07) and an double album called local customs “downdriver revival” numero 026. a collection of recordings made by felton williams from 1967-1981. the release includes a dvd with 200 sound recordings plus a 30 minute documentary. nice. enough funk, jazz and for this winter.
on thursday i went over the east river to brooklyn. first stop at dope jams at 580 Myrtle Ave. If you decide to walk there, do so from Williamsburg over Bedford Ave. through the orthodox jewish quarter. dope jams is a very friendly place with lots of vinyl. some said it’s the place to be when it comes for electronic stuff, so expectaitions where high. first of all, they have big motherfucking speakers in there for shows they organize. The owner Francis (the owner) and Vince Patricola were giving me a warm welcome, especially beacuse i met vince 2 years before in detroit, were he worked at the recordtime shop. He was running the deq magazine, which still sits beside my stereo. 2 hours browsing through records brought OMAR-S 210 Side trackx volume2 on FXHE, moodyman/freeki (whitelabel MM VOL 6) and Terre Thaemlitz/you again PT.1 on Mule19
my last stop lead me almost directly under the brooklyn bridge where the halcyon store is located at 57 Pearl St. on the corner of Pearl and Water Street. If you go there by nightfall take a cab like i did. well, i try’d at least to catch a yellow cab … until i found out from erik laine that the cabs in brokklyn are black limos driven mostly by latinos. yeah right i thought and stood aside the street to raise my arm like iv’e been told and … BAM. cab. black. limo. latino. no comment… when you arrive be shure to check out the brooklyn bridge. nice view from there! the store is awesome too. erik “liondub” is superchilled and played the whole fucking second release loud in the store. unlucky me i had left over, so i just quicly browsed through the various labels and artists. everything is very well sorted, so you’ll fin quickly what your vinyl heart needs. next time erik, i will stay longer! all the labels all house and techno. european and american. best selection of newer electronics in nyc i thought.
Michael and Tobias got the opportunity to present their work in the november release of the german Beat magazine. The PDF´s of the articels have arrived today and we dont want to keep it back from you. click the images or here to read the articles.
[ saturday 15th of november ]
it was rainy all night on my way to osnabrück. after hours of driving and 2 hitchhickers i was happy to be just in time for the le k live set. tilman already said on the phone: wait till you see this. i arrived at a day-skatehall, night-club sort of fucked up buildung standing alone in light. and light i saw. many. the guys from osna arranged a massive laser show. pretty abstract and on the long run – pretty cool. also theay had a nice bahnhof clock on the wall which was spinning wild, so it seemed because of the strobo lights pointed at it. it was the perfect setting for sylvain to begin, as the crowd was already heated up. actually i saw him too partying the hardest, switching between mic and his new mac (thank god you got one) and a keyboard he just learned to operate that evening. tilman also gave much love in his, so i thought best dj set yet. at 7, while still the locals went nuts (thanks guys for a great night and again the hospitality!!!) i went to sleep in my volkswagen, when suddenly … k*

Leif hails from the beautiful secluded mountains of North Wales, and draws upon these surroundings to inspire his music. In the past few years, Leif has forged a reputation within the underground scene for his trademark sound – a blend of minimal house that encompasses elements of deep dubby techno, bleepy minimalism, delicate chord soundscapes and enough chicago-house style shuffle to to keep the dancefloor moving!
After Leif’s early releases circa 2003 on UK based label Mindtours and Jay Haze’s netlabel Textone, Leif set to work starting his own label Trimsound in partnership with Tom Ellis. Trimsound’s successful vinyl and netlabel has since been host to a number of acclaimed releases including artists such as Pheek, Ralph Sliwinski, So Inagawa, Titta, Apoll, Joe Ellis and more.
During this time, Leif has also accumulated an admirable number of releases and remixes on worldwide labels such as Morris Audio, Moon Harbour, Frankie recs, Thinner, Telegraph, Logistic, True to Form recordings, Fear of Flying records, Textone, Archipel and Floppy Funk; with more releases always in the pipeline. His works have been remixed by the likes of Tom Ellis, Martinez, Two Armadillos, Polder, Jens Bond, Pheek and T-Polar… DJ support has been there from the start from the likes of Daniel Bell, Akufen, Richie Hawtin, Magda, Laurent Garnier and many more.
Leif is known for his dancefloor-freindly DJ sets, which span a wide variety of sounds from deep dubby microhouse through to jackin chicago house and minimal techno, and also plays live with Tom Ellis as “Trimsound Live”

Grifin’ aka Boris Hervot Dlutowski is a music producer resulting from the Parisian commotion. He began music production creating hip hop instrumental loops from tapes cassettes ‘samples and outdated vinyl records. Thereafter, he joined artists’ collectives for the “IDM, Click’n cut & Ambient” project still existing today (whose name remains covert/ concealed). Since 2006, he began electro-minimal and micro-house productions, thus releasing digital EPs on Mischievous, Genesa & Miniatura. In 2007, he co-created Silicate label with Voiski and Thomas Bethmont.
In 2008, he started an impassioned cooperation with Pit Spector (one of the three stooges of Antislash), thus joining the following crews: Minibar, Salon records and Miniatura. Concurrently, he cooperated with Paulice (half of Minitura/Mischievous label) and Scalameriya for projects on Wreckless or Genesa. More recently the two rascals : Pit & Grifin’ have joined forces with Tilman (half of “Just two ordinary people”) for a “sensational micro-house” creation. To be continued…

Klamauk Labelparty “too fast for love” @ Comodo, Mainz (cinestar)
ok ok. i was lazy late last night. after the a3 autobahn was completely closed, i had to go around cologne, instead of driving by.. arriving in mainz at 2 am our second labelparty was already boiling since twelve. the clover just started and literaly everybody was dancing. nice to pop in to a crowd like that. although the sound system of comodo lounge is worthy for exchange, the guys from italy presented some really nice tricks with live bass guitar. after the clover, keinzweiter went nuts, also tilman gave everything, until his ears went out and the mixer gave up his last order: trojan. already six, still dancing. over. k*
