SKYLEVEL 07
12 Inch
27.10.23
here is the latest from your favourite funky airline company and we are about to head skywards for the seventh journey. a1 sees the captain addressing the passengers in his most charismatic voice while the cabin crew is, well, pumping an irresistible in the air drum break over a partly sunny partly funky bassline. flip it over to b1 and watch stunt flyer ben aksar turn his *leftovers* into an intercontinental airshow while b2 elegantly shifts gears between a cloudy night-flight and the clear blue sky.

SKYLEVEL08 (VINYL ONLY)
12 Inch
09.05.16
no fancy business class air lounge mumbo jumbo this time, no.8 just got clearance for take off and this one is first and foremost for the pilots. the a side hits you loud and direct like a cessna centurion engine, accessible, reliable and just damn good in the air. now if b1 is some kind of an adventurous but gentle doppel-decker, manoeuvrable small craft, then low altitude b2 breaks the cloud cover to take you on that magic night-flight you might later be uncertain if it ever really happened. limited edition - vinyl only !
SKYLEVEL 06
12 Inch
30.12.13
vessel no 6 is airborn and your cabin crew serves you three gems on wax, road-, air- and space- tested throughout the last six months. a1 is a straight groover with an undeniable feelgood vocal, carfully rearranged for your dj needs. first officer nebraska joint ventures the record on b1 with an emotional, ever building piece of jazz funk and reminds us once more of how the art of editing has to be approached. with so much hoopla already going on, b2 leans back, happy to strip it all down and hitting us with a break that starts, floats, and then, lucky audience, just dont stop. dont stop, dont stop, over and out.
SKYLEVEL 05
12 Inch
15.01.13
the fifth skylevel is completely homemade and is bound to save the world once again. four tracks, coming in at four different altitudes, but we dont get into a detailed description this time. click the snippets or better give it a spin at the store. one for dj sneak, one for soundstream, one for eddie c and one more for the road.
skylevel whut up, lets take off for number three. the a - side sees sq101 providing pure, undiluted ecstasy for every prime time disco house floor. yes, its that good and skylevel pilots cant wait to launch their planes and drop this beauty in your area. b1 is skylevel – homemade and you already know the talk so lets come together and walk the walk. damn. sampling skills of the highest order show us how to reduce things to the max. never too much nor too little. hot blooded soul meets hippie feelings and theres magic in the air. on b2, fried tofus anson steps in and stokes your favorite dj with his no-strings-attached way of transforming a goodie into a real gem. this one unlocks hearts while nailing funk–aficionados to the floor. priceless
still above the clouds, team skylevel picks up a fellow pilot and drops a package that is all about the raw essence. a1 is a thrilling jazz funk onslaught that hits you hard right from the beginning. an energetic uptempo groove meets the most wicked guitar patterns, teasing with beautiful melody fragments while clearly focusing on its irresistable rhythm section. no jazz on b1, but an uncompromising barebone funk stomper of the highest order that locks you in a cell made of drums and bass holding the promise that you wont find >disco< within a five mile radius. b2 obviously has to reduce the heat and takes you on a ride through the swampy mississippi delta of the early seventies, telling you a truly mystic sunflower county story you might not have heard by now
