PRE-ORDER JULIAN EDWARDES & E.R.P. 10-INCH

March 14, 2013

SHPFR-01_frontWe have split release with the ever-surprising, wonderful Dutch label Shipwrec!

We’re casting off for uncharted waters, setting sail to proudly introduce a new release to our ever expanding rosters. Julian Edwardes, who only just released his debut EP Paragon, presents his first outing on 10-INCH vinyl taking elements of Bass and Hip Hop and twists them into a new form. The title track judders and shakes into life with a controlled tempo adding gravity to the mix. Sombre notes drop to create a melancholic muscular beast. The flip sees E.R.P. aka Gerard Hanson aka Convextion flying in from Texas on remix duty. Hanson weaves his magic, a lush melody of IDM depth descends to elevate this remix into something sublime.

Vinyl only with amazing artwork by Graphic Surgery! The vinyl’s distributed by Clone (Rotterdam).

FREMDTUNES UPDATE

November 14, 2010

A lot has been going on at Fremdtunes HQ. First of all, we are about to release the ‘Chocolate Money EP’ 12″ by Kelpe ft remixes by Huess and Coco Bryce on November 22nd. Just recently we released our first album ‘Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes’ (which had a great review in Dutch music-magazine Fret) and November 1st we put out our first vinyl record: ‘Fremdtunes – the series 1′: a 12″ labelsampler with music by DJ Optimus, Coco Bryce ft Gumshoe (The Proov) and Incks (Real Phresh), Kid Sundance and Solo Moderna. Nice to mention: the debut LP ‘Boesoek’ by Coco Bryce (releasedate February 14th 2011) is being mastered by Mokosound and so is ‘Fremdkunst: Zauberschwein by candlelight’. ‘Zauberschwein’ is a digital EP which will be released as – because we are so very generous people - free download on our bandcamp page. Mister Adam must be the most busy man on this planet because he’s doing all covers and designs for these releases, plus he’s working hard on a new expo with his superb project Mashville.
