Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 001CD

"There is for sure no lack of electronic music producers in the German capital. But in contrast to most of their colleagues, Dreher & Smart were really born in Berlin what becomes obvious already after the first verbal exchange. In the beginning of February they left their urban sphere and headed towards day. Through snow-covered forests and past frozen lakes, they finally arrived at the cozy Dacha on the ground of Fusion festival where the Fortschritt3000 crew welcomed them very heartily. Little by little, more and more guests arrived and the evening became more and more frisky and social. And so, Dreher & Smart soon unpacked their music machines and serenaded the audience. They set all the experiences from their eventful day to music and so also the recording became very entertaining and exciting. On a continuously forcing groove, varied sound constructions unfold, which lead from trippy-minimal deepness over hypnotic melodies and through huge reverb rooms to distinctive percussive take offs. The unobtrusive reactions from the dance floor mixed into confer Wandertag its authentic live atmosphere and increase the anyhow very strong pressure of this recording."

Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 001EP

"The new label 3000° Records is tailored for, and focuses on, functional club music. The first release on this new label has been produced by its label head Mollono.Bass who is known for superb releases on Ostwind and Acker Records. His deep and driving sound with an atmospheric touch is once again coming out in this record while the second track by the Berlin live act Dreher & Smart is, like always, a true surprise for ears and legs. Together they have celebrated an ever growing number of genius remixes as for instance the Depeche Mode 'Martyr' on Mute 10 or 'Grillen im Park' a remix for Kollektiv Turmstrasse. Moreover, during their numerous live gigs and independent releases, the crew has proven to stay true to essence yet at the same time surprises with new ideas and infinite innovation. Their sound thus drives, is yet ever changing and harmonic while bridging the impossible by being full of love for detail and modern arrangement. A perfect debut -- we are keen to hear more soon!"

Title:	The Village
Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 002CD

This is the debut album by German electronic duo Schäufler & Zovsky, who realize that snugness and calmness are important ingredients for a fulfilled life and for entertaining dance music. As a result, The Village could be characterized as a cunning mixture of humor and relaxation matched with pushing dancefloor bounce. This unique sound reflects the stylistic background of the duo: the laidback and independent vibe of Mecklenburg, and the diverse, international influences of the electronic metropolis of Berlin. The Village is rhythmically fuelled by casual and lascivious house tunes with a warm and friendly character, supported by organic, dubby bass lines. Matching this positive and uplifting mood, light melodies, classically-styled filter modulations and unobtrusive vocal entries remind one of a sunlit Sunday outing.

"3000Records now release a brand new record. As with their first release, the turntables will again evolve around functional club music. The A-side brings the Berlin live act Dreher&Smart, who have played themselves into the hearts and minds of beat lovers. On the B-side, Toby Dreher together with Andre Crom on the percussions push the limits, and as a bonus you will find the Fusion edit 2tons per square meter by Dreher&Smart. Fine beats in three phat (with a ph -- that's right) tracks that should not be missing in any DJ case!"

Title:	Woblitz E.P. Part 1
Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 003EP

"A really good meal should contain some variety, not only because tastes are different but also because this ingredient introduces the certain excitement. Two dudes who really know how to mash up an electronic menu are Dreher & Smart, who serve us two delicious filet pieces of contemporary dance music on this fresh 3000 vinyl as a preview for their upcoming live album Wandertag. The A side track 'Brust oder Keule' refers to the original idea of minimal, and therefore comes in a very slender and sporty way: With only few sounds it establishes a remarkable amount of pressure and drive. On the flipside, Funkwerkstatt's interpretation of the original remains the reduced style but turns to a laid back but still inspiring mood, using some funny clicker sound and decently placed vocals. 'Beside that Man' delivers another variety: A truly massive bass line forms the foundation for a lush arrangement of nested percussions, trippy sound effects and fluffy melodies- irresistible for party people's inherent urge to dance!"

Title:	Kommt Zusammen
Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 004CD

The fourth CD on 3000° Records unites local artists from Mecklenburg, Germany with internationally-renowned ones. This compilation echoes the idea of the annual Kommt Zusammen festival in Rostock and that is why it goes far beyond the scope of a classical festival compilation; rather, Kommt Zusammen is an attitude towards life. Listening to the compilation makes you virtually see the laughing seagulls at the Baltic Sea. It gives rise to the idea of wind blowing across the thousand lakes of the North-East German state while some guys on the shore are getting their sailing boat ready. Beside well-established names like Dapayk Solo, Stimming, Rundfunk3000 or The Glitz, it's especially the new artists like Umami, David Pasternack and Schäufler & Zovsky who are inspired by this lifestyle and who set it to music. Sounds full of love and the typical warmth of Mecklenburg. Other artists include: Camara & Jon Hester, Gunnar Stiller, Marek Hemmann, Ginger, André Kronert, Marquez III, Andreas Henneberg, Kollektiv Ost, Mollono.Bass and Daniel Nitsch Et Madeleine.

Title:	Der Wanderzirkus
Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 004EP

"Der Wanderzirkus compilation is now available. The first part of this release starts off with Mollono.bass, who delivers a remix of 'Am Utkiek' from Schaufler & Zovsky. It became a slightly melancholic track with a certain maritime aura, featuring the well-known drive and groove of Mollono.Bass! The two dudes behind Tracker from the shores of the Baltic Sea present a euphoric party banger with 'Der Seiltanzer' (the tightrope acrobat) that should not be missed in any primetime set. On the flipside, the gents Dreher & Smart take the listener finally right into the ring, 'Affenzirkus' tells about the bizarre characters, shrieking monkeys and crafty animal trainers. And finally, Neurotron round up this first compilation with a wonderfully deep track."

Title:	Landstreicher EP
Label:	3000 GRAD RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	3000GRAD 007EP

Four exciting musical adventures are captured on this split 12" from Kollektiv Ost and Schäufler & Zovsky. In his housey remix of "B1000," Andre Kronert piles up layers of harmonic pads and light melodies. The minimal plot of the original by Kollektiv Ost roams twilight sceneries and explores sounds and effects. Schäufler & Zovsky's "Leafs" combines dreamy melodies with functional rhythms. In his own version, Mollono.Bass concentrates on a catchy groove and creates a deep and hypnotic atmosphere.
