URGENT NEWS!!!

Neuton insolvency

A FOEM contact has told us today about a rumour (edit: it is no rumour anymore now) that Neuton, one of the biggest music distributors, would be due to announce its insolvency on Monday, December 1, 2008.

Original text: “(…) I just got the bad news today that our vinyl distributor, Neuton, will make an official announcement on Monday that they have filed for insolvency (…)”

After the collapse of the japanese distributor Cisco, the whole label scene and the distributors were under extreme pressure.

We asked again and this was the reply: “We’d rather not forward the private emails, however I can say we’ve heard the news indirectly from two sources that have been in contact with Neuton at the top level. Additionally I can tell you that a US distributor sent out an email to their labels alerting to the problem with Neuton, and to expect more news soon.

I think it’s safe to say that you have heard “reliable rumors” from music industry contacts that Neuton is in trouble and will make an official announcement regarding their status this coming week.”

Neuton works with many top electronic labels, distributing music for diverse labels including Four Twenty, Tresor, Vakant, or Perlon and has worked in the past with labels like Bpitch control , Playhouse, Klang or M_nus.

Although the news is as yet unconfirmed by Neuton (we also asked them), this would be a terrible day for the music industry, and FOEM as a community of vinyl lovers is sad to hear the news.

Neuton is a source of wonderful music!

All this would be just one more step in the domination of the internet in new music, as rising mp3 sales continue to turn the music industry upside down.

I wanted to take a second and send you the following end of the year survey, which will be featured on our website Popwreck(oning).

My hopes are to acquire a fairly diverse collection of opinions on the years best albums and concert experiences from people with hands on experience in music, such as booking agents, venue owners, label people, public relations people and artists themselves.

Hopefully you have time to make a few quick selections, which should only take around ten minutes to complete. If not, I completely understand, as it is a very busy time of year, and I thank you for your time anyway.
You can find the survey at the following link. Thank you so much guys.

Germany Calling - Premiere!

Berlin wird die Hauptstadt des Eurotrashs! Zuwanderer aus vielen Ländern dieser Erde folgen den Ruf der Stadt, versuchen sich als Bohemien und versuchen Riesen-Karrieren in der schummrigen Welt der Clubs zu starten. Ganz lange hat es hier bereits Mark Reeder aus Manchester ausgehalten, der vor Jahren einen gewissen Anteil daran hatte, dass Paul van Dyk und Cosmic Baby keine Provinz-Sternchen blieben, sondern reich und weltberühmt wurden. Seine neueste Protegé ist die sexy Fidelity Kastrow, welche mit ihren Elektro-Sets für ordentlich Furore bei den Neon Raiders-Parties und im Tresor sorgte. Schön, das sie in dieser Show zusammen mit Mark Reeder und Jonty Skrufff die Party schmeisst. Zwei Stunden lang wird Moroder mit Punk gekreuzt, Glamour-Pop mit Keller-Chic!

Neben Mini-Mixen von Fidelity Kastrow erwarten Euch supergeheime Platten von Mark und Jonty - unter anderem Neues von den Pet Shop Boys.

	Available January 2009 'Reminder Of Jasper' is the third and final single to be taken from the D.Ramirez 'Headliners' compilation. D. Ramirez wrote the track specifically for disk one of the comp, where it was to gel with the deeper, funkier, tech house sound he was trying to achieve. Angel Anx (who was responsible for the massive 'Diesel Shower' featured on the 'Headliners' comp) has remixed it creating a tougher alternative to the original. Click here for audio clips of both mixes	Available VINYL | DIGITAL Our midas touch man, D. Ramirez continues to show the music industry that progression is the only way forward. Versatile on his productions as he is on his dj-sets D Ramirez is overall a professional artist. Proof of this is the new set of singles that will see the light in conjunction with the new 'Headliners' series on Azuli records that he's had the honor to christen. Click here for more info and DJ Reactions	Available CD | DIGITAL Heralding a welcome return for the original innovator, the dark and brooding ‘Shield’ glistens with intensity as it slithers through twisted industrial synths before cranking up the gears to reach a blistering climax. Shield showcases a new sound for D. Ramirez & Dirty South, one that is dark and intense and has all the right ingredients to pack the perfect dance floor punch.

	Welcome to the D. Ramirez Top 10 Dancefloor Chart for November 2008 where we have tracks from the likes of 'Thomas Schumacher and DJ T' & 'Format B'. Read on to the full chart and dont forget that you can now leave your thoughts in the comment section of the chart. Hope you enjoy! Go To D. RAMIREZ NOVEMBER 2008 DANCEFLOOR CHART

LABEL
[SONAR KOLLEKTIV]

Here is the new Sonar Kollektiv Newsletter, including our new Sonar Kollektiv Advent calendar 2008, a new t-shirt and our new compilation SK200 !

Check it out!

SK200 – COMPILATION

SK200CD/illicity – Various Artists – SK200
Sonar Kollektiv's 200th release is another superb JAZZANOVA compilation featuring standout tracks from the labels recent output. 200 releases is a great achievement for any indie label. To mark this respectable milestone in the catalogue of their Sonar Kollektiv label, JAZZANOVA have put together another of their pristine compilations.

Far from adhering to any kind of obvious "best of" format, they have chosen to include almost exclusively tracks from the last year of Sonar's output.

And SK200 is a gloriously eclectic compilation showing that after more then 10 year on the scene, the label is still getting better with every release.
This compilation contains tracks from Soulphiction, Christian Prommer, Recloose, Roland Appel, Paul Bryan, Eva BE, The Black Seeds and many more...

Please note: The digital release of this compilation starts on the 12th of December, until that you can only buy the CD!

Have a look at iTunes for downloading this compilation soon!

SKT200 – Sonar Kollektiv Shirt – White
American Apparel - BB401 - Poly-Cotton Short Sleeve Crew Neck
An ultra-soft, ultra-comfy unisex T-shirt that feels like you’ve owned it for years the moment you put it on, and for years to come.

The shirt will be available at the beginning of December.

Best Seven Selections Shirt

SBT191 – Best Seven Selections Shirt – Yellow
DANIEL W. BEST is Berlin’s godfather of Soul, Dub and Reggae.

The long-time partner of JAZZANOVA has come a long way and his taste for soulful dub and reggae music refines itself time after time.

After the great success of the first two Best Seven Selections (SBCD0005/demroots & SBCD0006/demroots)

DANIEL hits the sweet spot with a wicked recollection of tunes fused with dub spirit, soulful vocals and conscious lyrics.

And finally we have the suitable shirt for this reggae compilation (SBCD0010/dem roots)!
American Apparel manufactures the shirt in yellow, the print is kind of violet.

With this shirt you can enjoy the reggae feeling and make your day a sunny one, even in winter!

Christmas Specials

Sonar Kollektiv Adventcalender 2008

SKM-AK08 – Various Artists – Sonar Kollektiv Adventcalender 2008
One year passed through since we started last year our Sonar Kollektiv Adventcalender.

Now we present you our Sonar Kollektiv Advent calender 2008!

Each door contains one mp3-download...

How it works:
After ordering this calendar, you’ll get an e-mail with a download-link for one track from chosen Sonar Kollektiv Releases every day, starting the 1st of December.

So on Christmas Day you’ll have 24 songs from our label including exclusive remixes!
We wish you a Merry Christmas 2008!

Wine

Beats, Bites & Öxle - Wine Package
We have the complete wine package in stock again!
This package contains 12 special bottles of wine & the CD Beats, Bites & Öxle (SK167CD).

Wines of quality and great music pieces have in common that they don’t get any worse with the time flying by.

Indeed the taste of a vintage wine is refining itself year after year and a musical masterpiece sounds always beautiful years or even decades after its composition. And this is certainly not the only similarity that RAINER TRUBY discovered between wine and music.

In 2004 he started to organise the famous Beats and Öxle exhibitions in Freiburg at Waldsee.

Every new exhibition has been and still is the occasion for him to share his love for wine in a nice musical atmosphere and to present the best bottles that the wineries of this region can offer.

The best Christmas present for all wine lovers!

Digital Kollektiv

SK200 – Digital Kollektiv Release

DK032/illicity – Various Artists – ...more SK200!
Following JAZZANOVA's SK200 compilation here is now an exclusive Digital Kollektiv single with 3 fresh tracks by RECLOOSE, DAZ-I-KUE and QUASIMODE.
The 3 tunes on this Digital Kollektiv download release are every bit as varied and eclectic as JAZZANOVA's SK200 compilation. And so the story goes on... Following the 10th anniversary last year, SK200 sees the start of a new chapter for Sonar Kollektiv. One thing for sure, the music is as fresh as ever.
