As the current year draws to a close, let's take another look back at our activities in 2024. I still remember the turn of the year when I visited Markus Guentner in Regensburg.
Together, we discussed which projects would be coming up, which artists we would like to work with, developed ideas and formats and set about implementing them... It's nice to see from today's perspective that everything we had in mind has come to fruition...
Albums 2024
zakè - Dolere
With Dolere by zakè, we released an exceptionally experimental work that was able to exhaust the album playing time with only 2 works. I still remember the early summer moments when I succumbed to Dolere, a beautiful memory...
Joachim Spieth - Retrace
My album Retrace was created between fall 2024 and winter 2024. It breathed an air of change, of experimentation with echo chambers and once again ignited my passion for previously visited places seen anew...
rhubiqs - Aegis of Silence
With rhubiqs, a new face appeared on our playing field, who enchanted us with his rich mixture of different musical approaches and added some valuable facets to the label.
EPs 2024
This year's limited edition 10” lathe cuts have mostly traced our 2023 Guentner | Spieth album ‘Overlay’. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with all the artist friends who have taken on our pieces in their own unique way.
Guentner | Spieth - Overlay Variations
Guentner | Spieth - Overlay Reworked Pt. 1 (by Hollie Kenniff & Rafael Anton Irisarri)
Joachim Spieth - Recall (Luigi Tozzi Blue Dub)
Guentner | Spieth - Overlay Reworked Pt. 2 (by Pole & Abul Mogard)
Affin Serial 2024
With Affin Serial, we transferred an offshoot of the label that has played a central role from the outset into its own territory at the end of 2023.
At one point, it seemed logical to channel Affin's musically diverse direction more clearly, both visually and thematically. As a result, Affin Serial now stands for contemporary, deep and hypnotic techno designs.
Various Artists - Affinity 5
ABSIS - Silent Voices
Cauê - Gênese
Digital 2024
Toki Fuko - Ajna
Ajna is an exhibition of works by Toki Fuko, with whom we have been working since 2016. The full-length album in particular provides a more comprehensive picture of his work and underlines the exceptional nature of his creations.
Guentner | Spieth - Valenz (Galán / Vogt rework)
Duo meets duo. An extraordinary interpretation of Valenz, which transports the sluggish 4/4 beat into new realms.
Upcoming 2025
2024 was a year of musical collaborations for me. At the beginning of 2025, the first result of a collaboration with Warmth will be released. After we had already exchanged a few remixes, we now felt the point to create an entire work together. Fragments will be released on January 10th...
