Coming soon: Ajott – Homeward EP
November 1, 2015
For those that keep an eye on our Soundcloud and Facebook pages, you may have already been aware that we’ve an EP imminent for release by German artist Ajott. After the recent deepness of Magnofon’s Smallroom Breaks album, our next release sees us return to a more electronic sound; Ajott’s Homeward EP is a set of well-programmed deeply minimal Techno cuts. It will be released on Tuesday 10th of November. Check out a preview by hitting play below:
Press release:
Hot on the heels of our last release is a new digital EP forthcoming on Warehouse Decay, courtesy of Ajott. The Homeward EP was written by Christian Hoche from Erfurt, Germany and took shape a few months back following the artist’s travels.
We first discovered Ajott last year and have been working with him towards his debut EP release, which comes after the best part of a decade spent honing his craft. Armed with influences of nature and Jazz, the Ajott studio sound starts life in Ableton Live and much of his work is designed or based around live performances. His style is characterised around minimalism and not only does it nod back to the post-millenium Minimal Techno revolution but it is also rooted to the Deep House movement, with deep synths and plenty of Dub.
Homeward is comprised of three tracks and opens with ‘Wooden’, a deep and brooding piece of slow Techno. This is followed by title track ‘Homeward’ which continues the mood of the opening track, with a little more jack and swing in the minimal rhythms as the synths soar. The EP draws to a close with ‘Early Bird’ in which the minimalist percussion is particularly effective alongside the swirling dub stabs.

Boxed Wax 001: Magnofon
March 18, 2015
We thought we’d do a new feature on WDR called ‘Boxed Wax‘ which will basically be a series of occasional Youtube playlists compiled by our artists. This will include their favourite records of the moment – records in their box, favourites and classics.
We kick off Boxed Wax with Magnofon’s selections ahead of his forthcoming WDR album ‘Smallroom Breaks‘. Magnofon’s taste in music is renowned for being particularly eclectic and his playlist is certainly testament to this, with seriously deep and moody slow house, jackin’ garage influenced sounds, Tech House and woozy jazzy stuff. There’s plenty to listen to – click on the image above to be directed to the Youtube playlist page then hit the shuffle button and let the beats play…
Warehouse Decay Sessions #5: Quiet Birds
November 7, 2014
Our next long-overdue Warehouse Decay Session comes courtesy of label bosses Harry Towell and Fraser McGowan as their new recording alias Quiet Birds. The duo both come from an Ambient music background with Harry releasing as Spheruleus and Fraser working under his Caught In The Wake Forever. They formed Quiet Birds through a mutual love of experimental Techno and are slowly working on their début release.
In the meantime, they have sat down and compiled a list of some of their favourite records past and present which will loosely reflect their collaborative output as Quiet Birds. Things start off subtle and abstract with Ezekiel Honig and Mind Over MIDI, passing through the jazz influences of DoubtingThomas and Thomas Hildebrand before moving towards a tougher Tech House sound with tracks from Mihai Popoviciu and Junior Gee. The mix leans more and more towards Techno as things progress with Shifted and our own Tom Mosler and Hoxiun making an appearance.

WDR Guest Mix for Amazing Radio
August 4, 2014
Regular readers and follows of our label will have noticed continued support from Mark Ryan‘s Amazing Beats show on Amazing Radio ever since we began back in 2013. Mark has regularly selected tracks from our releases since day one and included them in his shows, with a particular fondness for the work of Fau, Dokun and Magnofon.
Last week we knocked up a 30 minute promo mix and sent it over to him and straight away he put it on Friday’s show! It was banging out across the net and on DAB in London and Dublin less than 48 hours after we sent it – so fast that we didn’t get much chance to spread the word.
The good news is that the show has been archived and is available to listen to again by click HERE and at the time of writing it will be the most recent show. If you’re visiting and a Friday has passed since, then you should be able to catching it by hitting ‘More Shows’ and selecting Friday 1st of August. It will be archived for the next few weeks.
Alternatively, you can check the promo mix out aside from the radio environment by clicking the image above or HERE. We have uploaded the mix to Amazing Tunes where it can either be streamed or download for free…
The mix includes some material from our back catalog from artists such as USRNM, Magnofon, TwelveTen and Louper as well as some unreleased works. One such is a track from the forthcoming Recall EP from Tom Mosler which will drop this Wednesday 6th of August. We’ve also thrown forward a piece from an EP we’re working on behind the scenes – this is by German artist Christian Hoche who also records as Ajott. As you’ll hear for yourself this promises to be something very special indeed!
New artist: Tom Mosler
July 24, 2014
After some warm, deep summer House music we’re now set to release our second EP of the year in the form of the minimal Techno sound of Tom Mosler. Tom’s Recall EP will be released on WDR on Wednesday 6th of August. You can find out more and listen to a sample below:
Press release:

In 2006 Tom began to focus on his own productions and live performances and the following year he started his own label Kicksomatic as a platform to release both his own music and material from his friends.
