Artist:	SWEET N' CANDY
Title:	Dead Between the Ears
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 024EP

"Sweet N' Candy is Rico Henshel, a man with an uncanny ability to open the hood and tweak that tech engine till it roars. While others go for the fat, Rico opts for skinning that creature bare and using its bones to make a stripped down funk jam. Every sound is there for a reason, every bleep to make a point. 'Dead Between the Ears' is a sugar rush that snaps better than crackle and pops better than anything else your parents wouldn't let you eat. Keep the Ritalin close at hand because all this sugar will send most kids off the chart."

Title:	Unbreakable Remixes
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 027EP

"We all know what a nice little hit our Berliner friend Sweet n' Candy delivered in November, the track was called 'Unbreakable' and like a snow ball packed with gravel it left a nice dent in the head. So now it's time we give it up for two great remixers who add their own cold and calculated take to the mix. Justin Maxwell delivers a post rave micro anthem that is tough and tender in all the right spots. Oh and he works with John Tejada all the time. Next up another bunch of tough Berliners... Exercise One, the up and coming duo from Kreuzberg, the greyest, and grittiest of all Berlin burbs. Deep from the depths of their studio they mash up 'Unbreakable' into a straight jacking floor filler. A solid sense of groove mixed with layers of creative effects makes for one effective track."

Title:	Dirty Gotches
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 031EP

"After locking himself up in the studio for quite some time, Sweet 'n Candy is back to settle the score. Dirty Gotches are three versatile and ferocious tracks that pack more punch than a swift kick to the you-know-where. All tracks are set in the same atmosphere but show their strength in small tactical ways. He's the thinking-man's thug. The A-side invites the listener to join the Sweet 'n Candy where he whips out a 360 flip off the top rope with a swift elbow to the jugular all while flipping you the bird. On B1 he goes a bit deeper and is digging in a more hypnotic turf. But beware, it still slams harder than Jimmy SuperFly Snooka off the top rope. Finally, could the real gem, the finishing move, the folding chair to the face, the hidden brass knuckles, be the B2? We think it might, but to find out you'll have to get on your tights and get in the ring!"

Title:	Scrollmops Remixed
Label:	EINMALEINS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	EINMAL 017.1EP

"A special release for Einmaleins, which hosts Sweet'n Candy's Scrollmops Remixed by Pan Pot and Touane. Pan Pot keep it deep, dirty and twisted with playful hi-hats and dark drive. Whistles and bass complete the soundscape on the A-side.Touane gives a more funky and powerful interpretation of the track with clicks and groove from min 0 of the track, with synths changing the picture and giving it a totally different and unique style."

Title:	Scrollmops EP
Label:	EINMALEINS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	EINMAL 017EP

"The beloved member of Einmaleins, Sweet n' Candy is back with number 017 release of the established label. 'Scrollmops,' the original track, is characterized by clickiness and simple but effective sounds. Deep, dark n' slow. No title '...!?#' is a more playful track with quirkiness and trippy landscapes of noise developing all the way through its existence. It gives groove to the body based on nice textures. The Falko remix is keeping it dark just like the original keeping the rhythm and the paths it works, slow and trippy. Falko Brocksieper does a really nice interpretation of the original within the boundaries of the sounds available to him, completing this release in the best way."

Title:	47 Pancakes & One Joint EP
Label:	EINMALEINS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	EINMAL 025EP

"Einmaleins is happy to have Sweet'n'Candy back. Since his first release on the label, he has been doing great work and now comes back to the label with his 47 Pancakes + One Joint EP. On the A-side, 'The Green' is a quirky tight techno track with surrounding sounds giving a playful character to the track. The B-side 'Pancakes' is a dark techno track with great heavy bassline evolving all the time and incorporating a great cut half way that makes the come-back shake the soundsystem!"

Title:	Resonance/Polyester (Blackwall Rmx)
Label:	OPOSSUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	OPSM 001EP

"Well, just as its mascot is an opossum, our new label, might be still small and quite an outsider in the big clubworld, but just as our furry friend got endurance, dares to be different and is actually quite ferocious and determined to make it into the limelight. The pouch of this first opossum is well stocked with two acoustic delicacies that couldn't be more different: 'Resonance' by Sweet n' Candy fascinates with its gnarly and only superficially monotonous sound aesthetic. The bassline is busy throughout: swinging, bouncing, constantly changing and accompanied by nice sound gimmicks enhancing the experience. On the flip Christian Hoffman aka Blackwell remixes Sweet n' Candy's 'Polyester' which saw a release on Raum Music in its original form. He pretty much sticks to the original melody but gives it a phat minimal electro sound without surrendering to kitsch. Enjoy both pieces with the volume bordering on pain."

Title:	Dishes!
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 044EP

"The second single from Berlin based Rico Henschel. His first release was played by DJ's from all kinds of genres and so again he presents four tracks where he doesn't seem to care too much about being suitable to a certain style. Furthermore he is walking on that narrow path between house and techno, blending the styles. Sometimes shuffled, sometimes a bit trancy without becoming too cheesy and sometimes in his typical more minimal orientated manner. You can hear that his tracks are more elaborate and no matter in which genre, he is always capable of giving each single track his own personal note."

Title:	E.P.
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 050EP

"Berliner Rico Henschel returns to Raum...Musik for his third release on our label. This EP, another 4 tracker, shows very nicely how his style and sound has been developing. His sound is more powerful, the arrangements are even more tricky. Rico's style and talent is nicely exemplified in the A1 track, 'Tacky Wakeup.' Since first coming to Raum, Rico has founded his own label, 'Opossum,' released on a selection of other labels and is even planning on starting up another of his own labels."

Title:	Tackywakeup Remixes
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 055EP

Remixes by Dominik Eulberg und Marek Hemmann. "Following the big success of Raum...Musik 050 from Berlin based Rico Henschel aka Sweet N' Candy, we thought it would be nice to do some remixes of the title track of his EP Tackywakeup. On the a-side Dominik Eulberg adds a few synth lines to the original sequence and delivers the perfect soundtrack for some of the bigger dancefloors this summer. The other remix comes from Freude am Tanzen youngster Marek Hemmann of Jena. He puts the focus on little variations of the original groove and comes through with a highly functional mix, which is set for the club as well as for some serious after hour business."

Title:	Once Upon A Time
Label:	RAUM MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	RAUM 058LP

"After releasing his third single for raum...musik and the successful remixes of the title track 'tackywakeup' by Dominik Eulberg and Marek Hemmann we are proud to present the first album by Rico Henschel, better known as Sweet N' Candy. Besides his singles on raum...musik, Rico has also released a number of tracks and remixes on labels like Dumb Unit and Einmaleins. His musical influences can be generally related to minimal house and techno, but he is always keen on picking up on trends and new influences, which is also the reason why he manages to stand out between the uncountable amount of records that are being released in this genre. Rico often seems to be one step ahead of other producers that are making similar music, just see how many 'tackywakeup' imitations came out after the record was first released. This album is aimed primarily for clubs, because that is also his favorite playground. Rico's music can be described as powerful club tracks that can be rather house or techno-related but they always have his own characteristic Sweet N' Candy trademark sound."
