☨ CHRIS SHAPE & ROMANCE DISASTER Head Against The Wall CA015

When I heard Chris Shape´s live performance at Hör, there was this track that made me crazy :
DEAD ON MONDAY - CHRIS SHAPE Live☨

Towards the end he plays "Head against the wall" with Romance Disaster´s typical screaming vocals and signature sounds.

Since then I got obsessed with releasing it. The track is loaded with such irresistible energy that it simply wakes up the dead.

☨ Nö Alfa Romantikk CA014

Alfa Romantikk in its Original Version used to be called : Blofeldt. It's approximately double the length of this 5" edit which was made to suit the format. I got this track from Andreas in 2017 and it went through many different versions under the surgical ears of the maestro.

We released the 5" record ON Christmas Day, with an endless loop on the B Side, recorded from the motor of the Alfa Romeo which we also used for the Artwork.

☨ MODE in GLIANY & LenoЯe (Aus)Eis+Bild in Blau CA013

At the time Mode in Gliany asked Lenore if she would sing on some of his music, he was working on what would become his "Amer Armor" LP.

The very first version of (Aus)Eis got a negative feedback and so I said we would release it ourselves. The track has a couple of different versions that come with a video shot in Dresden and Berlin.

☨ isn_ Eyes Meet (Néanmoins remix) CA012 isn Objects E.P. CA011

Daniel and I met in Noisy Rooms, a Rehearsal Studio in Friedrichshain. He was looking for a keyboard player to support his isn project. So I brought my Poly 800 there and jammed with him and a guitar player... His songs were already very structured. So I told him to send them to me and I started trying some cuts. I wanted an E.P. and we eventually decided to put 4 tracks on a 7" at 33rpm with the maximum length possible at a reasonable loudness. two of the four tracks can be heard here : BANDCAMP☨

On her Bandcramp profile, I discovered the track "Friend", an electro song completely in line with the vision of the label. I found it fantastic but too short and with an abrupt ending. I then decided to send a message to Rhume Carabinée, who didn't seem to realize that she had a great song there.

I asked if she had a longer version for a possible release.
4 years later (!) the EP was finally completed for a 4 track 7" with 3 other superb pieces including the great "Même Sang" available for streaming on all platforms.

ROMANCE DISASTER
Human Touch ? Afraid of !
CA001

I met Aga Wilke on a warm late summer day of 2016 in the Samariter Kiez/Berlin Friedrichshain. She was with Cesar from Mecanica records. We had a drink together in the Wismar Platz Park and discussed EBM, the MS20, and what it means to have a record label. I was not cutting records yet but I already knew I wanted to found my own label.
A few months later we went to a party at Suicide Circus, invited by The Horrorist. Someone there was playing Electro beats, mixed with Techno and we danced hard. Two days later Aga posted this video of a new track performed live in her studio : : SOUNDCLOUD☨

I asked her for the vocals file, which were recorded on her vintage Korg Vocoder, and started straight away to work on a remix.

It was my very first dubplate production, with 33 very loud copies on 10" at 45 rpm. I later on remastered the files and cut a 7" at a reasonable loudness.
