Artist:	ITO FEAT. URARA, HIDENOBU/POLARIS PULSATIONS
Title:	Lover
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 003EP

"Polaris Pulsation are Maksim's Vasilevikis (aka Max Brannslokker) and Aleksander's Chernishovs (aka Pooka), this Russian music project was created in 2000 and on this 10" they shows us their definition of modern electronic music, and boys and girls outside, this track called 'Cable' is really a great pleasure for the ears....great mixture between older Warp and Toytronic stuff and modern electronica music including lovely melodies, crunchy soundscapes and dazzling fragments... in the vein of supergroups like Black Dog, Cunnigham and Plaid, that should act as referee. On the flip you will find another bomb produced by Tokyo based Hidenobu, who also released on Japanese labels like Flyrec and NS-Com, featuring Urara. Hidenobu himself describes his music as experimental soul music and this characterisation hits the nail on the head....soulful soundscapes and deep strings, a clear bassline and Urara's lovely voice makes this track inimitable...whatever you call this track... soul, deephouse or just modern dance music, this tune offers unequaled opportunities."

Artist:	DAPAYK SOLO/DREDL KIBOSH
Title:	Dehalledretro
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 004EP

"Cute is back! Mo's Ferry's sublabel Fenou returns after a one year break with a new limited 10" vinyl edition. The first releases realize collectors' prices and show a path to a universe of experimental, minimal pop. Dapayk's 'Dehalledretro' is probably known as part of his live set. The calm and reduced, but groovy track emerged from a bunch of loops he's playing with during his performances. It's a proof that shows: minimal is not always made of clean, sterile sounds and dry wood-like tones. Dredl Kibosh's flipside 'I Found You' is spinning around broken beats and intelligent grooves, beyond the klikkaklakka standards. It's a link between four-to-the-floor and downtempo-breakbeat... very soulful."

Artist:	DAPAYK & MIDNIGHT/EZEKIEL HONIG
Title:	Open The Door
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 006EP

"Dapayk's 'frickel' beats contrast with the soft e-piano phrases and above all this, there is Midnight's yearning and demanding vocal, as if we would eavesdrop on her dreaming. 'Open The Door' is more than a suitable follow-up to their debut single Emergency. On the B-side, Fenou welcomes Ezekiel Honig, electro-acoustic artist from New York. Over the past years, he has released on his own imprints Microcosm and Anticipate, but also on Unfoundsound and others. He has always found or built up platforms that represent and spread his special, very picturesque sound in a good way. Now, it is time for Fenou to line up in this fine selection of labels. Ezekiel Honig's music is experimental but melodic, warm and sensitive. 'Seaside Pastures Part 1' is sophisticated electronica arranged with love and affection, not only for home-listening fans. Again, this record is presented as a limited edition of 10" vinyl with full-cover artwork -- serially numbered, as always."

Artist:	DAPAYK & PADBERG/DREDL KIBOSH
Title:	Sugar/Soir
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 008EP

"Fenou #8 -- Dapayk & Padberg on Fenou -- YES! Following up their brilliant Black Beauty album on Fenou's parent label Mo's Ferry in 2007 and the two album remix records, this is something new and different. OK, the duo already had a Fenou-like moment with the remix of 'Island (feat. Caro)' by Noze. But this A-side 'Sugar' shows exactly what the genre description 'cute minimal electronica' actually means. It's somewhere between clubby, but distinctive electronica beats, a vocal that reveals a definite pop-appeal and some lounge-like tunes. The B-side 'Soir' by Dredl Kibosh is quite different from that. It's a deep and relaxing track developing very slowly to leave a feeling of zero gravity in the end. Thereby it's not as complex as Ezekiel Honig's 'Seaside Pastures Pt.1' on Fenou06, but continues the laid-back side of Fenou in a perfect way. Consequently, the Fenou no.8 is presented as a limited edition of 10" record."

Artist:	RUSSELL, SEBASTIAN
Title:	Away
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 009EP

"In a fresh, light and nippy way, Mr. Russell drums us out of the Indian summer into the Oriental autumn. Pipes of Pan prance above this cool Arab beat and take a rocking guitar line in between. And because Germany becomes extremely cold these days, Fenou #9 heats up more pressing than its predecessors and warms us on top with a vocal taken from The Arabian Nights that crackles in our ears. The flip side shows more deepness and blows over a warm breeze of Spanish dance air on the guitar. Vocals whisper longingly above the drums, engrossed in thought far away at the seaside. With this record autumnal coldness is long forgotten and expelled."

Artist:	MARBERT ROCEL
Title:	A Parrots Yellin'
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 011EP

Marbert Rocel is a band and you can hear it. Their live performances are more than your regular electronic act. On Compost, where the first Marbert Rocel album was released, they already revealed their feeling for emotional house ballads and jazzy sounds; on Fenou, they follow this path with a more experimental kind of art. Marbert Rocel's cozy sound is perfect for sunny hours or those hours before. Includes a remix of Hundreds' "Fighter."

Artist:	YURE, DIXIE
Title:	Show Me Satisfaction
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 012EP

Dixie Yure is contemporary old school house from Seville. With Show Me Satisfaction, Dixie Yure builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classic house elements and vocals. Thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track, you won't get bored even after listening to "Show Me" for the hundredth time -- good for the club AND the couch. "Satisfaction" is a little more reduced than "Show Me," but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones.

Artist:	CAMARA & BUSTLER/HIDENOBU ITO
Title:	When The Night Falls/Come (feat. Anna Yamada)
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 013EP

In late 2010, the Berlin-based label Fenou celebrated its 5th anniversary -- reason enough to release the first label compilation collecting six favorite tracks from the back-catalog and six brand-new tunes. With Camara & Bustler's "When The Night Falls" and Hidenobu Ito's "Come," two of the previously-unreleased tracks were cut on 10" vinyl -- as usual, it's a limited edition and numbered by hand.

Artist:	KADEBOSTAN & LAOLU
Title:	Salome
Label:	FENOU (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FENOU 015EP

The topic of Salom� fits the two producers Kadebostan & Laolu from Switzerland perfectly. The melodies sway back and forth -- dreamy and full of peace. The rhythm group plays along and even though the vocal phrases retain their own character, they blend into the musical structure as if they were made for these tracks. The A and the B sides show a masterly, crafted arrangement. As usual, the lovingly-designed 10" record is a limited edition and numbered by hand.
