Artist:	RESMANN, MARCO
Title:	Upon You Diary No. 1
Label:	UPON YOU (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	UY 001CD

In just a few years' time, Berlin's Upon You has established itself as a leading figure in European club culture, not just as a label for its 35+ well received 12" EPs, but also for its curated nights at world-renowned spots like Berghain, Watergate and Arena Club. With their combined experience of producing, DJing and promoting, company founders Marco Resmann, Marcus Meinhardt and Hawks Grunert have formed a powerhouse whose momentum shows no signs of slowing down. In spite of (and perhaps because of) its unpigeonhole-able stylistic approach, Upon You has become a respected source for all DJs and clubbers in search of forward-thinking sounds, and now with its first full-length compilation, the label offers a succinct overview for both followers and newcomers. Upon You Diary No. 1 has been compiled by Marco Resmann (half of Luna City Express) and is split into two parts: the first features 13 new, exclusive tracks from the label's roster including The Cheapers, Re-UP, ONNO and Mathias Mesteño. The second part, showcasing Resmann's dynamic DJ ability, is meticulously stitched together using elements of 25 tracks from Upon You's back catalog, including contributions by Holger Zilske, Catz 'n Dogz, Mathias Kaden, Luna City Express, and many other respected names. On the surface, the artists on Diary No. 1 clearly follow the tradition of techno and house music, but it's clear that many of them use these forms as merely a starting point for further auditory exploration. From tropical acid and tribal grooves to somber dub and hypnotic minimal, it's clear that Upon You doesn't hold any purist attitudes, and in fact, cross-pollination is encouraged: check Channel X's be-bop hoedown "Rodeo" and the laid-back blue-eyed funk of "Together" by Marek Hemmann. Diary serves as both an up-to-date survey of Upon You in 2010 as well as a reflection on its origins, with the knowledge that there are many blank pages to be filled out. The compilation is available as an elegantly packaged 2CD set and as a digital download. Other artists include: Echonomist, Deepa & Biri, Marcus Gehring, Soucie Six, Acumen, Gunner Stiller, Fabian Reichelt, SiD, Chesperito, Phage, The Incredible Hochzeitsband, Santorini, Mz. Sunday Luv, Lee Jones & Daniel Dreier, Superflu, Empro & Miko, Guido Schneider & Jens Bond, OEL & Polygon and Ruede Hagelstein.

Title:	Sãu Paulo Lights
Label:	UPON YOU (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	UY 014EP

"As a small appetizer to his album, Marcos is leading us to the powerful wing beat of his over dimensional moth, which arises on A1 like a Phoenix from the ashes into the nightclub sky. And in the blaze of his drum-fire glows continuously his passion for ethno-percussion, which he knows how to use like almost no one else in the electronic context. The sexual performance power, which lives within his drum avant-garde, turns to meat in capitals like Sao Paulo, whose defoliated nights build a musical monument on the B-side. Anthony Collins was also aware of the cultural quality in his new interpretation. Two awesome tracks, one cool remix -- there you go!"

Title:	Watergate 10
Label:	WATERGATE RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	WG 010CD

Marco Resmann mixes the tenth edition of the Watergate compilation. A mere 9 years old, Watergate has steadfastly become one of the world's most prominent electronic music institutions. This is due in no small part to its heady combination of picturesque location -- its dancefloors face directly out onto the river Spree -- a wall-to-wall LED light installation and its impeccable music policy, with the cream of the electronic crop passing through its doors every week. The mix CD series, now in its tenth incarnation, is a further means for the club to stamp its seal onto the scene, with many of the club's residents and regular talents having been invited to contribute. Previous artists have included the likes of Tiefschwarz, Ellen Allien, Sascha Funke and dOP, amongst others. This time, long-time resident and Upon.You label boss Marco Resmann takes up the mantle and demonstrates how his unique tastes influence the Watergate sound with over 22 tracks of masterfully mixed house burners. Bookending the mix are some small audio snippets devised by him, but the meat is supplied by classics like Ricardo Villalobos' "808 The Bass Queen" and Soulphiction's "I've Got A Feeling," his own exclusive collaborations with Kiki and Mike Shannon plus more by Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Anonym and other friends of Marco Resmann and the extended Watergate family. Other artists include: SoulPhiction, Minilogue, Douglas Greed, Heartz 4, Serafin, Digitaline, Tigerlily, Håkan Lidbo, Sierra Sam, Abel, André Lodemann, Left, Darabi, Roman Flügel, Jichael Mackson, Roland Clark, Luna City Express, Samu.l, Elon, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Kenny Larkin, Death On The Balcony, Robert James, Alessio Mereu, Pär Grindvik, App, Soucie Six, Afrilounge, Mz Sunday Luv, Phil Weeks, Deetron and Roberto Rodriguez.
