Title:	Bad Heroin Or Is It Morning Sickness?
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 001EP

Debut release on this new minimal electronic label, hotly tipped in Philip Sherburne's recent overview (The Minimalarkist's Cookbook). "This summer has already seen plenty of interesting new label starts and the thrilling new Hello? Repeat from Hamburg makes no exception. Hello? Repeat is run mutually by Jan Kruger (Moon Harbour) and Daze Maxim who also contributes the tracks for their premier release. After successful productions on labels like Cocoon, Harthouse, and Serial Killers Haircut with 'Bad Heroin..." Daze hits a slightly different tonation to his very unique style which is specially underlined by releasing it under a new alter ego: Heartz4. The definite and original house three tracker starts with 'eap dip deep jeep,' a pure dancefloor shaker with crispy beats, quirky sequences, funky vocals and a catching hook doing the job. 'With a touch of prince class some do fine' continues right there and 'veritablebuck' is yet another driving stomping minimal track that will rock and rock...repeat...definitely."

Title:	Intimacy Girl/Someone Else Mix
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 002EP

"Having already stunned with mad versatility on his recent 3-tracker for new upstart label Hello? Repeat, Heartz4 aka Daze Maxim, proves again that he's got way more tricks up his sleeve and won't be easy to pin down. Here he surprises a new totally stripped down to his bare soul with his fragile, bluesy vocals slightly sustained by a fingersnapping groove and caressed by gentle soundeffects -- time to cuddle up on the floor. Philadelphia's minimal house stalwart and co-founder of Tuningspork and Foundsound records' Someone Else lowers the temperature a bit putting some more weight on the skanking groove, distorting the vocals, draining them puddles of echo and showering them with groaning sounds thus injecting a feel of paranoia and loneliness, truly emotional stuff."

Artist:	PRONSATO, BRUNO
Title:	Wade in the Water, Children
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 003EP

"One thing that is already a fact about new label on the block Hello Repeat is that they're not playing it safe by catering standard clubfare to the latest trend but are rather determined to kick electronic sounds decidedly back to the future. In 2005 Bruno established himself as a true renovator of techno music with seminal releases on Orac, PhilPot, Milno Modern or Musique Risquée, proving that there are still enough fresh rhythmical twists possible even in a 4/4 pattern and that his infinite sound palette goes far beyond the scope of typical formalistic minimal stuff. Wade In the Water, Children will drive your circulation right up and get your juices flowing like the classic Kneipp cure with it's bassline getting bent and strangled in every extreme direction plus a duet of spoken voices meandering in between the quirky wigglin beats and blurring your perception between the track and what is going on around you on the floor."

Title:	Simply Driving Gold
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 004EP

"After successful releases like 'Bad Heroin' and 'Intimacy Girl,' Daze Maxim aka Heartz4 returns with a superb funk monster on Hello? Repeat. This EP starts with 'Simply Driving Gold,' a pure dancefloor shaker with crispy beats, quirky sequences and funky vocals which will simply drive you crazy. The hypnotic vibe of 'Affectent' continues right there and takes you deep into the night, with hands in the air and a big smile on your face! This EP will shake your legs like you got ants in your pants."

Artist:	PRONSATO, BRUNO
Title:	There's Galaxies Better
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 005EP

"Bruno returns with another piece of jewelry for Hello? Repeat. The title track 'There's Galaxies Better' arises at a mysterious place somewhere in Seattle and tells the story of a Lady Cabdriver somewhere in the future. 'TGB' starts with loose, stuttering percussion over a locked bass before opening out into a beautifully detailed mix of chords and straight to your face chorus-vocals. As if this is not enough, Grandmaster Thomas Melchior steps along and delivers with his interpretation of 'TGB,' a hypnotic build up groove monster which will take you on a cosmic spellbinding ride. The second strike on this EP is 'Our Holiday Clothes.' It's peppered with fresh-flavored ingredients, cut-ups, smacking claps, stumbling bells, sexy-beats and a driving arrangement which makes us dance, dance, dance."

Artist:	DAZE MAXIM
Title:	Pull Absurde
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 006EP

"On this EP, Daze hits you with a funky, bleepy flow to make you bounce. 'Pull Absurde' -- the opening and title cut -- is a dry, hard hitting n' driven track, accented with Daze's typical vocals and breakdowns from outer space. A real bumper. The flipside holds a rough percussive and hypnotic trip -- 'Take Me Home.' With this piece, Mr. Maxim proves again his highly individual taste and takes us into a deep journey through the endless world of his musical spectrum. Listen carefully. Welcome to planet Pull Absurde."

Artist:	AUDIO WERNER
Title:	Getting Up After The Day Before
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 008EP

"After some breathtaking releases on Perlon, Circus Company and his own label Hartchef Discos, we're very happy to present two new masterpieces of Audio Werner on Hello?Repeat. On this 12", Mr. Werner approves again, that there are still enough fresh rhythmical twists possible even in a 4/4 pattern and that his infinite sound palette goes far beyond the scope of typical formalistic minimal music. 'Before' overflows with good old funk in a brand new space robe: funky cut-up vocals and a freaky sequence like made all over a driving percussive boogie beat playing tricks on your mind. 'Getting Up' on the B-side will drive your circulation right up and get your juices flowing like the classic Kneipp cure with it's bass line getting bent and strangled in every direction. To make it simple -- this record is a pure and elegant dance hypnosis."

Artist:	PRONSATO, BRUNO
Title:	Why Can't We Be Like Us
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 010CD

This is the second full-length release by Seattle's Bruno Pronsato (Steven Ford). Why Can't We Be Like Us embodies his old passion for playing the drums as well as his addiction to ones and zeros. Instead of creating streamlined minimal, he has more of an abstract sound on his mind -- one that lives on a dark, organic and percussive note. He has always been unpredictable and funky with a twist between the beats, his tracks often relying on devious turns, flickering sounds, warm bass lines and some free-riding vocals. These tracks tell a story with long, grooving compositions that are full of rhythms that twist around bubbling sounds that seem to launch out of his very own inner space. Sometimes a piano melody dances around, then an undefinable vibrancy chirps out of the background, and in the next moment some unheard buzzing sighs apart from space and time. This album feels like a logical progression from his EPs for labels like Orac, Philpot, Hello? Repeat and his creative powers as one part of the duo Half Hawaii on Perlon. Musical suspense that processes feelings and soul through electronic vibrations. Everything sounds like Bruno Pronsato plays it himself and follows the "I am an instrument" dictum of the spacy free jazzer, Sun Ra. Bruno Pronsato lives in the space of the inner-sound.

Artist:	DAZE MAXIM
Title:	One Million Shakers EP
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 012EP

Daze Maxim returns to Hello? Repeat with a big bang. The A-side opens with "Tube People," a deep and intense house track that builds into a mind-bending groove. As if this is not enough, we get "Jat," an unstoppable rollin' percussion lesson where we ask ourselves if Daze has 15 more arms to play this stuff. We're speechless. Right after this impressive monster, Daze returns to his deeper side and delivers "Mudhole," a reduced, up-building disco caterpillar.

Artist:	DAZE MAXIM
Title:	Organ Message
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 014EP

Daze Maxim returns with another eruption on Hello? Repeat. With Organ Message, Daze delivers two delicious tracks that bubble over like a volcano. The title track attacks us with Daze's trademark crispy beats, an ultra-funky bass and a quirky synth line that shows you the way to Maxim's cosmos. Once you arrive there, "Strange Things" is waiting for you with a voluminous flow of lava. A hard-hitting, percussion-driven track from outer space.

Artist:	SIMKO, KATE
Title:	Lights Out
Label:	HELLO?REPEAT RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	HELLO 019CD

This is the debut full-length album from Chicago-based Kate Simko. From delicate fluttering percussions on "Beneath" to "Machine's Mantra"'s effortless yet hypnotic drone, lines are blurred, genres are paired, and musical visions are created. From the magnetic Chicago vibe in "Mind On You," to the dark, sexy meanderings of minimal mastery in "Last Breath" and "Bikini Atoll," to the shuffling, Perlon-influenced "Mira Vos," Kate offers up an impressive lot of songs that crossover from headphone listening to ignite the dancefloor. Her intricate rhythms and time-stopping harmonies offer up the perfect balance of savvy intellect and sensory pleasure. From song to song, the journey continues and after a vivid nine theme showcase, the voyage closes with the contrasting and groove-ridden "Had It All." Summing up the creative emotion of "Lights Out," "Had It All"'s powerful rhythms and acid synth lines contrast with an aura of melancholy eeriness and vocals that are endearingly shy. The closing song's wide-eyed groove and powerful passion leave us at a juncture outside of genre boxes and full of inspiration. Inspired by her peers, Kate has performed with leading artists like Ellen Allien, Magda, Anja Schneider, Sonja Moonear, Camea, and Cassy, earning their respect. Kate is supporting this release with a live world tour -- a stunning and innovative cinematic event entitled "Lustre" alongside intermedia artist Jeffrey Weeter. Combining sound and image from worldwide cities and collaborators, "Lustre" will showcase moving and still images conjured by each individual album track in a highly-anticipated HD video display. No two performances will be the same while the film's integrity still remains intact. Lights Out and "Lustre" is an experiment in non-linear storytelling and real-time creation, bringing the excitement of live music to a cinematic experience. As the artist herself explains, "I looked at the album as an art project -- an installation of ten pieces that together form their own unique being."
