Artist:	A DIFFERENT JIMI
Title:	I Don't Know Why You Say
Label:	IT'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ITS 001EP

"Yes, he is a member of Egoexpress. But no, he isn't Egoexpress. He is a different Jimi. As the label's first official act, the president of It's (Jimi) has released his own solo debut 12". Like a conscientious smithy, he hammers and drives until all those little pony feet are hooved and clad with the best of shoes. And if that iron isn't at least 100% excellent, then it goes back into the fire. But finally, three hot irons have made it onto black gold. Two of them will get you galloping across the dancefloor: '1753 Angelo' and 'I Don't Know Why You Say.' Two poppy house tracks -- because house is the sound of now and exploding harmonies are Jimi's unique way of conquering dullness with a different kind of musical euphoria. The third track 'My Hang' has the beauty of a Moondog composition, something that is more than hard to find these days. At long last -- something really fine."

Artist:	RVDS
Title:	Lost Whistle EP
Label:	IT'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ITS 002EP

"RVDS, Golden Pudel Club resident, Baroque fetishist, key god, one of the rare sowed, really exceptionally musicians. Essentially the guy is busy with music, music and again music. And the result belongs to the clubs? Yeah, you can listen to the new ITS 002 12", which RVDS recorded at Synthesizer Studio Hamburg (a little electronic smelling room, crammed with analog synths and drum machines) and forged it with A Different Jimi next to his horse farm. How what is that? Lost Whistle - an ode to Ilse Werner (a German whistle artist) or the whistle school in La Gomera? In any case it is a hit which makes you afraid of it because there is magic on it. 'Marzipan Nightmare' - simply to explain: you take 800g raw almond paste and eat this immediately before you're going to sleep. The result is that! 'Hausarrest / Nicht Zu Hause' (House arrest / Not at home) - an ode to house and 'Hausmusic,' which is the German expression for music-making in the home. Fine track! For the clever people: you can fit both tracks together and the result is the real house arrest, which didn't take place at home, but in the clubs of the world."

Artist:	A DIFFERENT JIMI/PASCAL FUHLBRUGGE
Title:	Two Deep
Label:	IT'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ITS 003EP

"A Different Jimi (Siebels) lives in Hamburg. He runs a label, a studio and has recently become a devoted DJ after being a producer (Ego Express, Sand11, A Different Jimi) for more than a decade. Pascal Fuhlbrügge lives in Hamburg. He hosts the monthly radio show 'Im Wesentlichen Clubmusik' on Byte.fm. He also produces theater soundtracks and music for other artists. Pascal Fuhlbrügge on this release: 'When I did a solo album in 2005 that contained a lot of songs about dancing and almost no dance music, I thought that my life with repetitive electronic music might be over. Three years later, Jimi invites me to visit his new studio. We end up producing a new track. To my surprise, it feels very lighthearted, new and exciting to me. I hope you can hear some of that in 'The Belles.' 'Two Deep' is my favorite track of Jimi's recent productions. It might not be as easily accessible as his hit 'I Don't Know Why You Say,' but it's even deeper, more hypnotic -- an adventure on the dancefloor, with everything heading towards the song's one and only chord change about 5 minutes into the track.'"

Title:	Moments
Label:	IT'S (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ITS 005CD

This is the first full-length album on the It's label for Germany's Richard von der Schulenburg aka RVDS. It's deep, acid, fragile, party, lonely, and special. After the EP Waiting, Kiss And Love comes Moments, inspired by classic deep and acid house. Old instruments such as the TR-808, Roland JP-6, Wurlitzer E-Piano and some others are combined with new accents, but always with a special bent towards Detroit music. Special tips go towards the tracks "Acid Dream" and the vocal track "Pain."

Artist:	KUBIN, FELIX
Title:	TXRF
Label:	IT'S (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ITS 008CD

Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF)* is a method used to analyze the surfaces of materials by firing extremely flat X-rays. Subsequently, the physicist Joachim Knoth (1941-2004) developed a patent for precise measurement of defects in semiconductor chips. In 10 sequenced-based electronic miniatures, Felix Kubin, who presently consists of dangerous uninsulated powerlines, conducts the TXRF through an acoustical test arrangement. The experiment consists solely of a synthesizer, filter and sequencer. Full-bodied consecutive organisms arise out of which kaleidoscopic iridescent blossoms sprout. At times they appear as acoustic by-products of high energy discharges on an X-ray picture and sometimes as quiescent fluorescent images. Who knows when the experiment will come to an end? Will X-rays break at irregularities? Will transparent ears crawl over fixtures and make laboratory benches corrode? In view of the entire event's musical beauty, all these questions are completely unimportant. Felix Kubin is one of electronic music's most dynamic and versatile personalities. A love-child of the home recording era, his various experiments and epithets include radio playwright, composer of Futurist and Dadatronic experimental pop as well as chamber orchestra music, filmmaker, incendiary performer, record label owner, lecturer and curator. He has made artwork in all sorts of fields since the 1980s, after studying media art at the ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Enschede, Netherlands and illustration/animation at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg. Kubin's music is saturated with enthusiasm for disharmonic pop, industrial noise, and 20th-century avant-garde music.
