PAMPA 042EP
|
DJ Koze, Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß aka arnim, and the Düsseldorf Düsterboys enchant with a touching homage to Holger Biege -- one of the legendary architects of East German soul. DJ Koze once again proves his unparalleled sense for the extraordinary. Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß aka arnim (frontman of the iconic Beatsteaks) opens listeners hearts with his heavenly radiant voice. With full sincerity -- pure and straightforward -- he sings the love declaration of a lifetime. Floating on a cloud, the Düsseldorf Düsterboys sprinkle lyrical stardust with their brilliant harmonies -- fluffy and bizarre at the same time. It feels as if this cosmic quartet boarded a time machine and returned to the present to plant the essence of days gone by into today's matrix. "Wie schön du bist" is not just a tribute to Holger Biege's work, but a loving bow to his entire musical legacy. It is an anthem to the timeless magic of music and the enduring power of love that connects all listeners. Koze, arnim and the Düsterboys have created something truly unique here: a gem, a time travel, and a love letter all in one. Music can indeed be something magical. "Amor," a dandelion of a song, was created in collaboration with Brazilian singer César Lacerda. It is an acoustic love letter in its purest form-warm, crackling, and everlasting.

PAMPA 040EP
|
DJ Koze unveils a spiritual and surprising journey into rapturous spheres with Wespennest EP. The visionary artist and master of electronic sound, presents his first own release after 2018's global club hit "Pick Up". "Candidasa" and "Wespennest" are the result of DJ Koze's inspiring stay in a secluded Benedictine monastery on the enchanting island of Sulawesi. Amidst this idyllic setting, he found the perfect environment to unleash his musical vision. He composed all of the music of "Candidasa" while lying on his stomach, in an act of deepest devotion and self-reflection. In doing so, he fed exclusively on so-called heroin kebabs to immerse himself in a trance-like state of creative flow. The result is a soundscape of unimagined depth and beauty that enchants the senses and transports listeners to another dimension by massively increasing the frequency of flicker fusion. On "Wespennest" the wonderful Sophia Kennedy takes the stage and breathes a new dimension into the music with her impactful lyrics and vocals. With generous dedication, Sophia has provided exclusive excerpts of her yet unreleased songs, giving this track a radiant psychedelic power. The combination of DJ Koze's musical genius and Sophia Kennedy's glorious vocals creates a club track full of wonderment, opening up a mystical rapturous world for listeners. Already an instant classic of German dance music. With "Candidasa" and "Wespennest" DJ Koze has once again pushed the boundaries of electronic sounds and created a spiritual journey that touches the soul and frees the mind.

PAMPA 039EP
|
The illusive Impérieux ventures into the fantastical world of DJ Koze's Pampa with three tracks of masterful, genre-bending electronica. It's little wonder that the Turkish/Bulgarian native finds himself coming into the orbit of the Hamburg-based label head. DJ Koze has been a long-time supporter of Impérieux's music, his intrepid DJ sets often finding their most dramatic peaks or existential lows with one of the producer's audacious dancefloor soundscapes. Now Berlin-based, Impérieux's music draws deeply on the sounds of his heritage, taking inspirations from Bulgarian folklore, twisted and chopped Turkish dialect as well the gritty underground of his new surroundings. With Fantasmagorii EP, Impérieux explores his sonic boundaries with techniques inspired by the label-head himself. As a producer he is becoming known for his ability to build fantasy worlds through aural experimentation, creating productions soaked with fragility and emotion. His music brings a full-body listening experience of its own, laden with intensity and mystery, and full of opposites. He has the ability to pluck their listeners out of reality, to bend the rules of time and space and defy genres in a way that is reminiscent of Koze's various bodies of work, and it's no surprise that this selection of tracks feels right at home in the Pampa fantasy. "I am permanently seeking for Music that blows my mind. It's like digging for gold. Impérieux delivers a psychedelic bullion" --DJ Koze.

PAMPA 038EP

2023 repress. &Me, the chunky critter, did it again! This hypnotic one-off, "Drone me up, Flashy" featuring Sophia Kennedy, was stoically crafted to be lifted into the next dimension with thousands of people. Where the hospitality of all-encompassing love and euphoria awaits with arms raised and eyes closed. Mano Le Tough found the original "Muddy Funster" so boring that he ran out of cigarettes. Even as a non-smoker! With his congenial version of this evergreens, this deranged pig forces his cranky perception on us and takes you into a mystical world in which no two stones are alike, but whose unique construction represents an earthquake-proof pyramid of love whose dimensions have perfect relationships to the size of the earth and to mathematical laws. "Illumination" featuring Roísín Murphy as Mano Le Toughs needs "A Birra Light Remix" persistently pulls you music-loving dance muffins under the disco ball with all the TikiTaka tricks in the book, only to let us go and spin gloriously free at the crucial moment. So beautiful, we dance, wow.

PAMPA 015LP
|
Double LP version. Irish producer and DJ Mano Le Tough releases his new record, At The Moment, on DJ Koze's Pampa Records. After more than a decade of releases and touring, Mano has spent the past year at home in Zurich, rearing his young family and focusing on the positives of 14 months without performing, amid the uncertainty of the pandemic. In the face of horror, Mano channeled inspiration. With At The Moment, the follow-up to 2015's Trails (PERMVAC 142CD/LP), those struggles have produced a record which balances the ambivalence of the current moment, with wistful streaks of unguarded optimism. At The Moment shows Mano's modes of expression evolving too. The synths and rhythms common to earlier works are now complemented with less familiar sounds and influences. Jangling guitars and sun-bleached chords envelop his own tender, plaintive vocals in a dappled wash of summery pop. Another track grounds overlapping melodies and sci-fi soundtrack pads with hip hop beats, creating a hypnotic slice of slinky retrofuturism. Where there is reflection, there is also a sense of being unafraid.
"I've always liked that Mallarmé quote, 'poetry is the language of crisis,'" says Mano. "It's hard to make good music about everything being amazing. Everything is going great -- who wants to listen to that? Anything I've done -- anything which I thought had any kind of artistic merit, has been through struggles I've had in my life."

PAMPA 035EP
|
Robag Wruhme, working on the material. On the very same piece. And performing two different movements. First, thinking in category "Album": who will hear it where? also: mood, position, length. Second, thinking in category "Maxi-single": a spinning-tool for the club -- another form of another functionality: accelerating the rhythm, lowering the harmonicmelodious, still preserving the nature of the song. "Nata Alma", a voice loses itself in the infinite, a car brakes, a horse whinnies, the sun scorches relentless. Flip it and keep on moving: "Venq Tolep". A summer meadow, grass-stains, a gentle breeze, an early smell of hay.

PAMPA 014LP

Double LP version includes 7" with two bonus tracks, postcard, and download. Robag Wruhme takes synthetic sounds and sampled noises, cuts them to fit, and turns them into beats without his music ever sounding pieced-together; every single percussive sound is a compact unit, bursting with melody. For Venq Tolep, his first album-length release on Pampa Records in eight years, Wruhme chooses to dig deeper, expanding the space of these elements. He finds beats inside the beats, opens them up further, discovers hooklines, harmonies and feels where he can dispense with rhythm entirely. From his first releases on Freude am Tanzen one could hear it, a light-footed sense of rhythm. Venq Tolep opens with two melodic, melancholic pieces: "Advent" sets one to dancing, while "Westfal" has the listener lying in the grass amid the buzzing heat and rustling wind, hearing the voice of Lysann Zander, with whom Wruhme has worked previously on projects including his album Thora Vukk (PAMPA 002CD, 2011). Hers is not the only familiar name on this album -- Sidsel Endresen and Bugge Wesseltoft have both appeared on releases from Wruhme's bootleg label. Here, they are featured on "Nata Alma," a laid-back club track. "Iklahx" and "Ak-Do 5" both possess a carefree percussiveness, while "Komalh" and "Ago Lades" prove that when Wruhme talks about techno, he means club music more akin to the elegance of London two-step, fueled by R&B/hip-hop and swingbeat, and far removed from the Belgian-Teutonic bunker sound. "Bézique Atout" is a reinterpretation of "Domino," a track from French producer Oxia which Wruhme remixed in 2017, stylishly making it his own. Two more familiar tracks are "Volta Copy," a version of his 2015 hit "Volta Cobby," minus the beat, but now propelled by arpeggios, and "Ende #2," like greetings received from around the world in a day, picks up where "Ende" from Thora Vukk leaves off. Title track "Venq Tolep" draws on all the album's various movements in four minutes and 18 seconds: the light, pensive mood, the subtle, driving rhythm, the ambient-sounding layers of synthesized strings and the percussive electric piano melody lines. Venq Tolep has a well-rounded sound, like an arch unfolding in space; that, of course, is the universe of Robag Wruhme. With Venq Tolep, Wruhme creates something extraordinary -- the album may speak the language of club music, but the music verges on feeling like songs. Is it techno pop? Pop techno? Pop ambient? Ambient pop?

PAMPA 033EP

2024 repress. Gerry Read presents debut EP for Pampa Records. The British producer's distinctively twisted, lo-fi sound, combines with Pampa's deep-vein instinct for quality quirks. "It''l All Be Over" is immediately evocative, hinting at the patchwork style to come. Twangy banjo strings, a foot-stomp beat with soft floaty pads form an unlikely partnership. "Satyricon" is woven in the spirit of micro-house. Sharp waveform cuts, timely pauses, loops of noodling keys and hints of percussion shakers combine for a low-slung psychedelic effect. Pampa's figurehead DJ Koze takes an expert turn at the controls of "It'll All Be Over".

2023 repress. Emitting his first material for Pampa, it's &ME. "In Your Eyes" showcases a rather pensive mood. It's just a few bars for the compound of kickdrum, tuned hi-hat tambourine, and shimmering background noise until the first chords of an improvised piano-piece are tenderly laid upon the beat. In comparison, "As Above So Below" is adding a fair amount of emphasis. It unfolds in a dry and dense sounding beat-architecture that's suspense-packed with shaker sounds and sub textual field recordings. Most certainly, a slip-proof ground for this tune's centerpiece, a scale-riding synth bass sparking an almost anthemic trigger for floor-ecstasy.

Flipping samples of Gladys Knight & the Pips "Neither One Of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" and Melba Moore's "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance", it creates something completely airborne. B-side "The Love Truck" recalls 2000s minimal techno, but this time absolutely nothing is generic.

Sophia Kennedy's self-titled album (PAMPA 012CD/LP, 2017) was a watershed moment for both the American-born avant pop artist and Pampa Records. On Being Special, Sophia continues to examine the art of left-field song-crafting. The center of "Being Special" is its trio of percussive piano riff, strings, and handclaps, which warms the heart with a notable throwback cinematic feel. "Afraid", originally written by Nico, hints at a sparse DIY affair in Kennedy's version, but the song ingeniously matures in small increments. The quirky "Apple In The Basket" embodies a whirling circus carousel, enhanced by staccato organ chords and rhyming word couplets.

2023 repress. DJ Koze forthcoming Knock Knock album, melts a million genres and none into one another, and it comfortably includes "Seeing Aliens". "Seeing Aliens" unquestionably is a banger, its bass riff snaking around your body like a python, its high-drama strings, pianos, and outbursts of noise designed for maximum crowd pressure release. The exclusive B side track, "Nein König Nein" ("No King No"), meanwhile, is slightly gentler on the face of it: it's less about sonic pressure, more about hip-shaking syncopation. It's a peculiar brain-tweaking accumulation of detail, with a heart of house and disco.

Irish producer Niall Mannion, aka Mano Le Tough, releases his first record on Pampa, Ahsure EP. "Your Heavy Head" is the most dancefloor-focused track of the EP. Mano combines crisp, live sounding percussion with various intertwining synth lines and bell chimes, establishing a gentle, yet pulsating groove. "Kitedub" on the flip settles neatly somewhere between modern house music and weirdo pop. Mano's stirring vocals make up the centerpiece of the track, as strange sounds swell and subside. "Ahsure" hears Mano's lyrics sit above swirling ambient sounds and they convey a raw honesty that is palpable.

DJ Koze introduces Sophia Kennedy - the self-titled, stunning debut album by 26 year old wonderwoman Sophia Kennedy. Elegant, melancholic, sometimes menacing, with smoldering piano melodies, desolately whistling organs, and a jaunty jaw's harp loop; kissed by the golden Californian sun, or shrouded in gloomy, dreary fog: Sophia Kennedy is currently the most versatile composer in German pop music - not to mention the greatest singer. Her self-titled debut album reveals her as a dramatic romanticist and distanced diseuse, as a deft lyricist and master of melody. In her eleven songs, she travels from doo-wop to dubstep, from classic crooning to breathless R'n'B, from Frank Sinatra to Beyoncé. Her talent for songwriting is deeply rooted in history, yet it seeks nothing but the present: both historically versed and timelessly beautiful at the same time. All tracks have been produced by Sophia Kennedy and Mense Reents (who is known as being a member of Die Vögel, Egoexpress, Die Goldenen Zitronen). CD version comes in high profile pocket pac design.

Pampa welcomes Berlin's Mike Denhert for his label debut. Mike provides two original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. "How Close To Be" is a stuttering march of half-heard and half-imagined discourse. It's both surprising and linear. "Me Too" is also a creature of opposing ideologies. Warped moving jazz plays with static motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout.

Isolée's long and celebrated discography has taken him from seminal microhouse compositions through lush, deep, and dubby productions to the melodically rich sound design of 2013's mindblowing Allowance (PAMPA 013EP). Here, the title-track takes shape around a thick and dub-drenched bassline that moves and morphs with fluidity as tiny percussive elements orbit an instant-classic synth melody. The track's midsection showcases airy, spatial sound-wizardry, with shimmering cosmic riffs on the core melodic phrase. "Favouride" unfolds with metallic percussive accents and spectral synths; smooth and sleekly produced, yet introspective and complex, the layers of rhythm and melody combine here for extra emotional impact.
