>1. INTRO
>It's been a while since some of you have heard new bits and pieces
>from all the little studios in and around Berlin including the rest
>Europe. Many people have asked questions about the happenings here
>at the Sonar Kollektiv offices. Just for your information as to stop
>further confusion. Sonar Kollektiv is the bureaucratique arm of
>several labels with different label heads. Let's see what the labels
>are up to. For those of you who get confused (as we sometimes get
>dazed too) the following labels (in alphabetical order) are part of
>the Sonar Kollektiv family:
>Airdrops, Aspekte, Best Seven, Dialog, Mermaid, No Zession, Recreation.
>
>
>2. FACTS
>Recreation Recordings:
>Dixon just left for the States for a little tour. He will be playing
>New York, Miami, Madison and Chicago. The label is as busy as he is.
>The artist Georg Levin will have a proper release out on July 23rd
>after all of you have had a first taste from Dixon's second mix
>compilation Off Limits II. It features a mix by Jimpster also known
>for his projects Audiomontage and The Bays. The EP includes new
>material. Georg Levin is currently working on his debut album.
>
>Georg Levin - "When I'm With You" - 12" - SR5005 - 23.07.2001
>
>The other upcoming 12" is also a deep vocal house joint featuring

>Schellmann and is recreated by Dixon himself. This 12" includes a
>dub and also the original version.

>
>Mermaid Recordings:
>The other label with a part time house context within the Sonar
>Kollektiv family is Mermaid Recordings. Daniel Paul, a man on a
>mission, brings to us two new releases. The whole label seems to be
>attracted to concept of space and gravity, a 'leitmotif'.
>Volker Meitz reinterpreted Daniel Pauls track "Outta Space" creating
>an eighties boogie monster that could let dancefloors explode.
>Beware! This is not a part of the eighties revival.
>The second featured mix got some fine tuning from Daniel Paul
>himself and a man you all may know: Alexander Barck. Project name:
>Twice.
>
>Daniel Paul - "Outta Space" - 12" - SMA6005 - 03.09.2001

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
