Catalog #: ECHOK 001CD
"Summer 2000. Way before the inevitable flood of C64-Atari-gamesound-compilation of this years hype, Munich's Echokammer label released their legendary Dis*ka Presents C2064 album. It brought us the very best of SID-punk-style versions of 80s-smash-hits like 'Always on My Mind', 'Being Boiled' or 'Living on Video'. Also TV-themes like 'Axel F', 'Dallas' and 'Mission Impossible' were radically transferred with the famous SID-chip into the beeping, chirping and buzzing world of 8-bit-adventures. All 18 cover versions have become hugely popular among the C64-devotées all over the world. Now the classic party tunes album is back with some extras: for the first time, DJ-classic Dis*ka Presents C2064 is being released on CD. Alongside the boys own Dis*ka ? Hey Dis*ko debut album their Echokammer label offers you a limited and first-time-ever-mastered C2064-digital version including bonus trax, funny coloured cover plus some classic gamesounds.

Artist: SHINTO
Title: Keiren Remixed EP
Label: ECHOKAMMER (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: ECHOK 026EP
"Shinto, electro avant garde unit consisting of the Austrian god of electro Hans Platzgumer and the Japanese pop dandy Cami Tokujiro, break the cliche of Japanese pop to be easy listening. Their first CD Liberal Bullshit (Disko B, Germany) set standards. Their 'hit song' 'Keiren' was remixed by five different artists from the west (is*ka, E.stonji, Koneko & Electronicat) and the east (Yoshihiro Sawasaki, Leopaldon)."


Artist: QUEEN OF JAPAN
Title: Foreign Politics
Label: ECHOKAMMER (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $18.00
Catalog #: ECHOK 029CD
"'What the foreigners suggest will set your language out of sync'. You'd think that after the success of the sex-citing cover CD Head-Rush, (an album of full of electric-socket boogie-nights versions, which could be mistakingly described as electroclash, featuring classics of the horizontal pop music industry like Marvin Gaye, Soft Cell, Kiss, Duran Duran, Rod Stewart and Joan Jett), the glitter-spangled threesome of Koneko (vocals), Jo Ashito (vocals, guitar) and Jason Arigato (bass) would carry on playing the high-voltage karaoke-sex-machine for a generation who grew up between Saturday Night Fever & Flashdance, Repo Man & Alien, Blade Runner & Tron and Miami Vice Dallas... But Queen of Japan are not just your run-of-the-mill cheeky anarchistic electro-karaoke dandies, oh no! For underneath their golden crowns they keep firm hold of the motto 'a mind is a terrible thing to waste', thus last year releasing the DIY bastard-pop-manifesto Kings, Queens, Wasps and Lust in the best situationist anarcho-cyber-punk tradition of fuck copyright -- go copyleft/copywrong-bootleg. Foreign Politics transfers the lyrics from Kings, Queens, Wasps & Lust to the first originally composed Queen of Japan album. A 'tour de force' in discology."
