Little more than a year has passed since the first Keinemusik record landed on our doorstep and first alerted us to the freshly founded Berlin-based collective. Seven releases later and Keinemusik has by far surpassed our expectations, having become one of the city's most consistent and increasingly prominent imprints for contemporary house music.
The productions and DJ sets of Keinemusik members &Me, Rampa, Adam Port, and David Mayer follow a recipe that is as easy to formulate as it is hard to execute: Combining the functionality and punch of minimal techno with uplifting and soulful house music vibes.
The label's hits like &Me's 'F.I.R' or David Mayer's recent 'Crime' perfectly showcase this approach with distinct vocals - one of the label's musical trademarks - and impressive breakdowns, which have made the tracks favourites with DJs like DJ T., Dan Curtin, Ralph Lawson, and big-time Keinemusik supporters and occasional contributors, Tiefschwarz.
Add to this the label's lovely and highly unique watercolour artwork, produced by Berlin-based artist and illustrator Monja Gentschow, and it's easy to understand the immediate appeal of Keinemusik's releases.
This week's podcast has been mixed by two of the main guys behind Keinemusik, Rampa and David Mayer, who take turns at presenting the freshest tracks from their record bag. Recent productions by their close friends, like Re.You, Santé, and Tiefschwarz, take prominent spots, while additional dance-floor bombs are supplied by the likes of Simon Baker, Cesare vs. Disorder, and Little Fritter.
