colorful in your face disco tinged filter happy house with grubby acid lines, raw chords and swinging drums.

retro-2000-style-pad-house tune with distinct reinterpretations by dj spider, oskar offermann and philipp boston!

when hartmood sent us his stuff in the late eighties we were like >oh my gosh its far too early for that kind of next gen shit!< we asked him if he was in a hurry. he said >do what ever you like!< more then two decades later we thought it was time to release his shit. and so we did. we asked boris bunnik and dcnt to do a remix and in the end we even had some more next gen shit!

*bastard child of house* is a tribute to chicagos most famous record store. inspired by a video about some native chicago guys working at the store, peter schumann and kareem decided to set words to a tune and create their own version of the story. they asked their buddy dcnt if he could add his interpretation too. and so it happened that words became sound and sound inspired more sound and as we speak everything turns into words again. with both versions the tooliness is very obvious, while the original is organic and warm in terms of tone and sound design, the dcnt version has a more technoish feel and relies heavily on its edgy and straightforward character.

we are proud to introduce a new member to the platte family. its dcnt aka franklin de costa. the producer who is also an excellent dj, has been making music with his collection of analogue equipment for more than a decade. with his steady output on labels like trapez, curle, greta cottage workshop, resolute and mule he has established himself as one of germanys top addresses in terms of deep and soulful electronic music and has managed to create his own unique sound signature.

after several appearances on the label, kareem comes up trumps again with an excellent first solo single release backed by a wonderful remix from white doyen oskar offermann himself.how low can you go the opener track acts as a discreet, structured, driving and some how dubby house tune that keeps a nice layer of grit beneath the fingernails. its loopy character imparts the feeling of virtually remaining unchanged but it nevertheless staidly evolves within its sonic borders and imparts a sensual quality of all-enveloping warmth. oskar offermanns interpretation of how low can you go introduces skipping melodies that are transmitted as choppy discoesque pulses and rhythmic modulated bass sounds are the preferred form of punctuation. indeed the remix is intended to be a dj tool, but like all of oskar offermanns recent house works, it builds smoothly as though every element was simply waiting in the wings to make its appearance at the proper moment, and – just before it finishes up – sounds like it could go on forever.

nice price deal !!! platte international strikes another powerful blow to dance floors and loud speakers everywhere with their third vinyl release in 2010. two of the founders of the label, kareem and thomas bellmer, teamed up for an ep that equips the listener with an arsenal full of deep analogue sounds, infectious rhythms and floor-stomping bass, vital for any sonic attack.

words ain’t describe no music. just listen. platte!

yes we can, all night long… this strictly limited killer ep is a prime time weapon. analog dark style tech house at its finest. approved by cheering crowds under highway bridges, at frankfurts most popular and barly legal harzwerk tunnelbash. the group celebrates their successfull years as hottest underground event in town by launching a fresh and reckless vinyl label platte . the name indicates the artists love for the black gold.
