When acid meets the groove it results in this fruity cocktail of sounds
freshly concocted in the studio of Alexis Cabrera in Venice. With the
collaboration of Mattia Bison: this young Italian producer who, after long
experimentation with synthesizers and drum machines, discovered the right
ingredient that give shape to the two original tracks “Give the Hype” and
“Houseloide” for his debut 12” vinyl release.
We are proud to welcome Mauricio Barembuem to our label, Barem’s remix for
Give the Hype EP is warm, loopy, hypnotic and so acid as our emblematic
orange kumquat fruit!
For your decks!

KUMQUAT went deep into the suburbs of Buenos Aires and hunted Oswld.

On a period of intense creativity and under a new moniker: 04LM project was launched.

With eponymous name the 12″ EP release explores a deeper side of techno, harmonious and combined with melodic synth patches.

Sensitive and lacerating, 04LM got some inspiration from movie sound composers such as Angelo Badala- menti (o.s.t. Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet) and Giorgio Moroder (o.s.t Midnight Express, Scarface).

Oswld put his imprint of the remix, rhythmic with Detroit techno influences, whose past releases at Non Series got strong support by representative of the genre such as Ben Klock, Dustin Zahn, Chris Liebing, Truncate, Jonas Kopp, and more.

Member of the dub techno community, the New York based South African Brendon Moeller aka Echologist put his signature on two driving remixes with organic sounds and experimental approach. After his 9th album and countless releases Brendon reinvents himself with every track he produces. „His goal is first and foremost, to create timeless, quality music that resonates with people from all walks of life“.

KLANG! Sounds again!  Times for dimension change!

As nobody less tan the Argentinean producer ALEXIS CABRERA will attend the meeting.

Alexis Cabrera’s live act will be listened to Europe closing the tour with an upcoming release on Paco Osuna’s label again and performing at the next Miami Winter Conference.

 

KLANG! Also sounds and vibrates for the awesome producer TOLIS Q, Quantized label head and “God of the Groove”. Unavoidable figure of Athens’ nightlife and resident of the top Six D.o.g.s Club.

His avangardist tech style combines tech house tracks with electro tunes, technoide and minimalistic. His project Tolis Q & Ad.Mark got remarkable editions in labels such as GU, Dialtones or Doppelgänger, KUMQUAT, among their long discography.

His label Quantized Music is the platform where DJ Wild, Siopsis, Nekes, David Keno, And.Id, Lemos, Kreon, Mihai Popoviciu, Jim Rivers or Patrick Zigon resonates!

TAKE-AWAY is artack’s mobile flagship project. Set up as an briskly live-painting-session it allows for exciting interaction between the artists involved and the public. Our collective sessions and artistic get togethers act as a statement against all the «battles», which characterized other live-painting sessions for too long time. What we present can be seen as laid back stage for the boldest artists to crow with unrivalled artistic skills.
The backbone of each TAKE AWAY session is an adjustable wall consisting of a number of loose square plates. Put together the plates form a smooth surface to receive artistic emissions of all sorts – but each and every plate is extractable and thus also replaceable.

For every TAKE-AWAY session a certain number of artists are invited to turn this wall individually or as a team into a work-in-progress limited only by the duration of the session. This work-in-progress takes place right in front of crowd that is eager to acquire original art works as a snip. By pushing the buzzer the audience can actively interfere into the artistic processes and purchasing anything they see on the wall at any time. The plate carrying the theme of their heart will be extracted, signed, sealed and sold for take away. The gaping whole in the wall will be immediately replaced by an untouched new plate – and on and on the story goes! read more about Artacks
