Artist:	RIPPERTON
Title:	Narrow Minded EP
Label:	CONNAISSEUR RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	CNS 011EP

"Ripperton from Lausanne in the French part of Switzerland drops his second release on Connaisseur. For our last release on Connaisseur in 2006, he saved two outstanding tunes, full of personal emotions and timeless creativity. 'Tainted Words' is a killer club hymn combining two mesmerizing parts. The first part starts surprisingly minimal, straight and captivates with almost jazzy melodies. Part two starts with a sudden break: A weird melody crawls up and when the beat comes back, a massive bassline starts to rumble and turns the track into an acid-drenched sawtooth monster. 'Tainted Words (Plasmik Remix)' is deeper than the Mariana Trench. Plasmik, our new boy wonders from Berlin, grab the outstanding original, vivisect it and recompose it into a deep underwater journey somehow classic but very up to date though. A must for lovers of deep Detroitish cuts. 'Farra' is far more than a track. Ripperton specially dedicated this one to his family and his closest circle of friends. A very personal and pleasant sound-trip, more a song than a track -- a short emotional story-teller."

Title:	Zugunruhe
Label:	CONNAISSEUR SUPERIEUR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	CNSS 008EP

Ripperton presents "Zugunruhe," a lively Detroitish tech-house tune, with a bass line reminiscent of Goofy riding a prairie horse, hypnotic cowbell action and a childhood-memory theme. Not a peak-time tune, more like the kind of track you play at the beginning of the night to bring a smile to every dancer's face. Daniel Stefanik delivers an outstanding interpretation -- an after-party tune with a smacking groove, which slowly builds up to a heart-rending melody.

Raphaël Ripperton shows that Switzerland is not only the country of mountains, watches and chocolate. In fact he proves that his homebase Lausanne is the right place to create deep and atmospheric beats to be released on well known imprints like Border Community, Wagon Repair and Connaisseur. Marc Romboy says: "I always play this outstanding piece of music as a closing track of my sets. People always ask me what it is and I'm very proud that I could sign this cool masterpiece on my label!"
