Artist: VA
Title: Innervisions Presents: Muting The Noise
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $27.50
Catalog #: IV 002CD
Innervisions releases its first CD -- a compilation of exclusively commissioned and beautiful music inspired by the sound of silence. On a trip to Japan, the label's founders came up with an idea for an ambient project that evokes the Tokyo streets -- lots of cars, lots of people, yet a calm stillness and a quiet that can only come from the inner impulse to mute the noise. Muting The Noise is also inspired by The Pearl from ambient originator, Brian Eno and by the work of avant-garde minimalist, Harold Budd. In the beginning of the 1990s, it was quite normal to have an ambient floor at an average techno house party. This culture got lost in the new millennium and became simply a quaint memory. Eschewing their regular 12" dancefloor-pointed direction, Innervisions label-heads Âme and Dixon gathered friends and artists to contribute to this project, such as Japan-based Tokyo Black Star, Koss, and Terre Thaemlitz, as well as German electronic composer and pioneer Klaus Schulze. Muting The Noise is hopefully only the first in an Innervisions series that will usher in the ambient revival, quietly. Other artists include: Mark Pritchard & David Brinkworth, Karma, Henrik Schwarz, I:Cube, and Stefan Goldmann. Housed in a high-quality debossed linen 60-page softbound book containing nothing at all. Perhaps so you can take notes on the nothingness? As the label-heads describe in XLR8R: "... we muted all the noise! In addition, we successfully managed to hide the CD and make it as hard as possible for people to get it out. You should see the faces of the people who open that package!"


Artist: TOKYO BLACK STAR
Title: Black Ships
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: IV 003CD
This is the debut full-length release by Tokyo Black Star. Black Ships is led by a team of production warriors: world-traveling French DJ Alex From Tokyo is based between Tokyo and New York, armed with his high-grade receptor antennae, and his partner, Isao Kumano, operates from his studio-base in Tokyo as a multi-talented, high-profile engineer and sound producer specializing in all musical aspects from mixing to mastering. As Tokyo Black Star, their ship has advanced through the galaxy, meeting fellow travellers along the way. Their encounter with Dixon influenced the start of his label Innervisions, their love of art led them to NYC-based, rising Japanese new generation painter Tomokazu Matsuyama, who produced this album's beautiful artwork, and their need for the word cast the voice of poet Rich Medina as album storyteller, lending his distinctive, deep voice to one of the characters in this story. Black Ships is not only Tokyo Black Star's nonfiction travel diary, it is also the supreme tale of traveling through the world of imagination -- an ultimate, brilliantly-executed electronic dance music novel within the modern, club-oriented electronic dance music genre. This is neat, ultra-modern slickness that encompasses electro-beat, tribal rhythms, jazz squawks, nervous disco, and so much more. The journey of the imagination begins with the exalted feeling of departure, sometimes steady, but also sometimes facing navigation trouble. There are climaxes, denouements, and voyages within voyages. This is the sound of distant ports, of pirates surfing waves of static, and space stations humming along on some far away galaxy.


Artist: GOLDMANN, STEFAN
Title: Sleepy Hollow
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 008EP
"'Sleepy Hollow' comes from Berlin-based DJ and producer Stefan Goldmann, who already released tracks on Ovum, Perlon, Classic and Minus and no joke , this is to be the best track he did. Period. A lost post-minimal track with unforgettable hooks and an endless grooveline. Already been played by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Josh Wink, Gilles Peterson (he also plays it on his BBC Radio 1 Worldwide show), Ricardo Villalobos, Steve Bug, Luciano, Damien Lazarus -- it's another Innervisions Classic to come. Side B is no less a treat remixed by the Allmighty and Part label owning Ame, re-arranged and deeply lost in space, fresh out of their studio. Another milestone!"


Artist: CHATEAU FLIGHT
Title: Baroque EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 009EP
"We are very proud to have an EP by Gilb'r and I:Cube as Chateau Flight on our label. Over the years, Chateau Flight from Versatile Records became our most favoured producer team. Without any doubt, this is definitely one of our best releases yet. The quality and the diversity of the tracks speak for the production skills of the two crazy French music lovers. 'Baroque' is a heavy dancefloor tune that Âme and Dixon have been hammering for the last six months. 'Baltringue' is a modern form of balearic disco. 'Baccula' is a monster Ron Trent / KMS reminiscence. Each of the tracks will easily find supporters from the different scenes of dance music."


Artist: VA
Title: Secret Weapons EP Part One
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 010EP
"Last year during their DJ sets Kristian & Frank from Âme and Dixon often unveiled their secret weapons. Tracks that caused a lot of attention, atmosphere and, of course, positive feedback from crowds all over this planet. So the idea was born to release these tracks on an EP. 'Ghetto' is produced by Kingpin Cartel aka Chris Baker & Mark Broom, who is a partner in crime of acid house legend Baby Ford. 'Ghetto' sounds very much like the legendary Happy Records label (the former house label of UR). It is an oldschool Detroit house anthem Kristian discovered at a gig with Fabrice Lig in Belgium. Since then it has become a big hit in all the sets of Âme and Dixon. Second up is 'Zagora (the Tifawt Dance)' from French producer team AJI (Amnaye & Tony L), Both are close colleagues of Franck Rogers and his Realtone label from Paris. It's a mythic electronic Afro-house track. Mark August sent his killer neo Detroit techno track 'Warm' to Frank via myspace. It ranges somewhere between Galaxy 2 Galaxy (UR) and current minimal techno. For months, people have been asking what it is. Âme did a new mix down of 'Warm.' At a gig in Cork, one of Europe's house epicentres, Shane from Fish Go Deep played 'ESL' on CD. Kristian grabbed a copy of this old school house track in reminiscence of the Murk Boys."


Artist: AME
Title: Balandine EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 011EP
"Âme returns with two new tracks. Two tracks that move away from that clean sound has been penetrating us for the last two years in nearly every production. Bring back the raw -- like Kerri Chandler said last year already. So here u go: Wildpitch I think I luv u!"


Artist: TOKYO BLACK STAR
Title: Still Sequence EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 012EP
"This EP is reflecting the different cultural influences of Alex from Tokyo. Being French, growing up in Tokyo and living in New York leads one to this diverse music. The title track 'Still Sequence' is remixed by Âme and Dixon and is focused on the killer groove of the original."


Artist: WORGULL FT. MR. WHITE, MARCUS
Title: Spellbound EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 013EP
"After two years this is finally the new EP by Marcus Worgull. We always knew it was worth waiting that long for him to come up with this 2 tracks. For this release he is teaming up with Mr. White for the title song. 'Spellbound' is a big instrumental that gets a surprising vocal addition by Mr. White in the main version. Mr. White should be well known for his stunning release 'The Sun Can't Compare' on Larry Heard's Alleviated label. This track easily became the most played house track of the last 12 month and was compiled for several compilations from artists like Sebo K, Ewan Pearson, Ellen Allien and Dixon."


Artist: SCHWARZ & AMAMPONDO, HENRIK
Title: I Exist Because Of You
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 015EP
"'A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.' (Desmond Tutu). Originally this track appears on Amampondo's forthcoming album Vibrations From The Motherland on Nanny Tango. Here we have two longer and more club-friendly versions of that track. Version one is a live recording of Henrik. The other is a much more stripped-down version by Dixon."


Artist: GARNIER, LAURENT
Title: Back To My Roots EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 016EP
"Laurent Garnier delivers his first dancefloor 12" release in five years, Back To My Roots EP, released on Âme and Dixon's Berlin house imprint, Innervisions. This release represents a truly inspirational night that saw Laurent Garnier's welcome return to the club that represents Berlin's electronic music scene to perfection -- Panorama Bar. It's 5a.m., and Garnier, five hours since his set began, is supposed to finish and let Dixon take over. But, the intensity and energy asks him to play on. So he does, for another three hours of magic. 'During that time I played the demo mix of the "Back To My Roots" track, which I'd made that week. Dixon jumped on me to ask what it was. He said that he loved the sound of it and asked me what I wanted to do with it, mentioning that he would really like to release it on Innervisions. I went back home on the Monday and worked straight away on another track, which I named "Panoramix" (a tribute to that night at Panorama). I sent a very rough demo to Dixon via download and received a text five minutes later saying that he wanted it. It happened really fast without me having any plans at all.' - Laurent Garnier. Closely guarded within the Innervisions and Garnier camp, Back To My Roots EP, goes well beyond the hype that it is naturally receiving. An excellent pairing brings one of the most highly revered electronic artists in the world, together with one of the most highly revered house music labels in the world. It works. 'When Laurent played "Back To My Roots" at Panorama, I immediately had the feeling that I was listening to a classic. It's a very unique, timeless production. Not hip, not modern, not old school. It is also a 12 minutes journey that is worth to play for that long. We are very happy that Laurent told me straight away in the club that he would be cool with releasing this EP on our label.'"


Artist: SCHWARZ/AME/DIXON, HENRIK

Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"

Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: IV 019EP

Artist: DE SONG, CULOE
Title: The Bright Forest
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 021EP
Sometimes tracks appear from somewhere you would never expect. With a little help from their friends at the Red Bull Music Academy, this great demo from this young producer from Durban found its way to Innervisions. The label has heard a lot of great productions from South Africa in recent years, but this one was so special, they immediately had to sign it. Epic African house with a strange touch you have definitely never heard before. "This is an unbelievably great Afro-house 12" with syncopated rhythms on African drums. The artist is Culoe De Song, an 18 year old South African DJ from Durban. Comes in a die cut jacket with full color inner sleeve. All-around beautiful." -- Facebook.


Artist: AME
Title: Setsa/Ensor
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 022EP
Every Âme 12" is, as always, the result of a work-in-progress. "Setsa" fuses prepared piano from John Cage with some classic house roots, while "Ensor" is the steamroller which comes out of some dark basement techno club in the early '90s. Sadly, The Sound Factory is already gone.


Artist: MACHINE, THE
Title: Fuse - Âme & Dixon Remixes
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 023EP
The Machine is Radioslave's new moniker under which he will release his next album in early 2010 on his Rekids label. "Fuse" is a pre-released track from this album in two remixes, one by Âme, one by Dixon. Comes in a die cut jacket with inner sleeve.


Artist: DIXON
Title: Temporary Secretary: Dixon Edits
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 024EP
Innervisions offer three nice edits from DJ Dixon, taken from his Temporary Secretary mix. He was lucky to get all single parts from the original tracks, and with his scientific approach, he recreated each track completely in a different way. So what is an edit and what is a remix? To form your own opinion on this topic, you better check this record out. Featuring work by Junior Boys, Ewan Pearson, Precious System, Ben Klock, Code 718, and Henrik Schwarz.


Artist: TOKYO BLACK STAR
Title: Caballero EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 025EP
After the release of their album Black Ships, Tokyo Black Star return to Innervisions with this great 12". "Caballero" is a tune from the album with a brand-new mix-down by Andreas Schorpp and Âme. This turns it into a powerful dancefloor weapon for the Space Lab Night at the sadly gone Club Yellow in Tokyo. Radio Slave delivers a fantastic remix that adds an exotic, more cosmic-sounding touch to the repetitive and hypnotic patterns he is known for.


Artist: SCHWARZ/AME/DIXON, HENRIK
Title: A Critical Mass Live EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 026EP
As a result of 2009's "A Critical Mass" tour, Innervisions release two tracks recreated from the recorded live material. The A-side is based on the former Henrik Schwarz hit, "Chicago." This new, eerie, bleepy techno version has a touch of early M-Plant production and was recorded during the Flow Festival in Helsinki in August 2009. "Berlin-Karlsruhe Express" is an aquatic Drexciyan house inferno by Henrik Schwarz/Âme/Dixon, and was the highlight of every live show.


Artist: VA
Title: Secret Weapons Part 4
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 027EP
This is the fourth volume in Innervisions' Secret Weapons series. Paul Virilio once wrote that Indians refused to take a train. They said they would lose their soul, because the soul can't keep up with the speed of the train. Secret Weapons Vol. 4 should be your opportunity to let the train pass by and rather listen to its contributions by Larry Heard, Âme, Boddhi Satva, Boomclap Bachelors, Musaria, Tuff City Kids and Dixon.


Artist: AME
Title: Rrose Sélavy
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 028EP
After exploring technoid territories, Âme are back with a deep house EP. It is very much infiltrated with a Duchamp-esque way of approaching artistic objects: ready-made, self-referencing and perpetuating. So musically, perpetuum mobile (ital. "Moto perpetua" by Niccolò Paganini) elements push forward into mesmerizing loops. The future is nearer than in most contemporary deep house releases. Typically amazing Innervisions die-cut sleeve.


Artist: JAL, EMMANUEL
Title: Kuar EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 029EP
Two remixes of Sudanese musician Emmanuel Jal by Henrik Schwarz and Olof Dreijer (The Knife), originally compiled for the Sudan 365 -- a beat for peace campaign. In this campaign, several organizations across the globe have come together to promote international awareness for the referendum in January 2011 in which the people of south Sudan will vote to decide whether they wish to remain part of a united Sudan or whether they want to become an independent country.


Artist: DE SONG, CULOE

Format: 12"
Price: $14.00

In 2009, Innervisions introduced Culoe De Song for the first time outside of his home country South Africa with The Bright Forest. The new EP features Busi Mhlongo, an award-winning South African singer who sadly passed away in early 2010. Innervisions is proud to present the next big release by this young producer.

Artist: LIL TONY
Title: Anton's Groove EP
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 032EP
The next release on Innervisions comes from icy Finland, home of Säkhö and so much other great music. Mr. Rantanen aka Lil' Tony is not only a close friend of the Innervisions label, but also an artist they really like. A good way to start 2011.


Artist: WORGULL, MARCUS
Title: Long Way/Coppa
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: IV 034EP
It has taken quite some time for Marcus Worgull to deliver his third EP for Innervisions. We won't blah blah about the music. You better just listen to it. But there is one piece of decisive information that shouldn't be withheld from those who never read the credits: "Long Way" has additional instruments, beats and even vocals (!) by Mr. Prins Thomas.


Artist: AME
Title: Ame Live
Label: INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: IV 007CD
"Almost exactly ten years ago, Âme, the duo of Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer, was officially born. The two artists had met a year earlier and began homing in on a style of house that was classically informed yet totally modern, as inspired by jazz, funk and soul as it was by Detroit techno. Âme Live takes stock of everything that's happened since then, connecting the dots between early records on Sonar Kollektiv, later works on Innervisions and still unreleased material. It also serves a much simpler purpose: documenting their exceptional live act. Âme started playing live in 2010, and in doing so devised one of the most idiosyncratic performances in club music today. The new album is made up of the best recordings from the road, reedited in the studio and woven into a continuous mix. For fans, it's a fresh take on Âme's celebrated oeuvre. For everyone else, it's a perfect introduction to one of house music's most imaginative duos."
