Since Envloop began, we have come a long way, having built up the label as a haven for artists from around the globe and for electronic tunes from all different styles and genres. Artists such as TC Izlam, Soul Slinger, I-Cue, Kooky, Frozen Smoke, just to name a few…

Envloop stays true to it’s basic concept to be open not only to top artists, but also to encourage musical experiments. The 2000’s, so we were told, would only leave space for labels strictly specialized in their specific genres. We chose a different path: Tracks and artists from across the spectrum of genres, just as it was when electronic music imprints first started. The only standard across the label’s releases is the high quality.

The new collection, “One Year Envloop – The Bonus Mixes” gives you a retrospective in remixed form of our work so far. Plus, it presents new artists who have given Envloop so much loyal support.

A special contribution comes from Austrian painter Hans Biwi Lechner (www.getstoned.cc), who designed our artwork on “One Year Envloop”: The original painting shown on the release’s artwork will be cut into 36 pieces and will then form the cover of a special series of CD’s.

Thanks to all for your support – and now let’s celebrate ONE YEAR ENVLOOP!

On envloop 005 “Zulu Music 2011 EP” this true jewel of New Yorican Underground found it´s way into the present decade, given a treatment by it´s creator Soul Slinger and Austrian artist Hillberg. What had been anticipating “Dubstep” decades before this genre was born, now comes along as a trippy Hip Hop tune reminiscent of the sound of Stereo MC´s or Gary Clail.

As a matter of course, Envloop´s New York artists I-Cue and Odyssey were invited to contribute their remixes, having been part of DJ Soul Slinger´s “Jungle Sky” and “Liquid Sky” family in the 90’s. I-Cue comes up with a hipsteppin‘ Drum & Bass remix building an audible bridge across the decades. Odyssey then joins with his brother I-Cue and follows up with a pumping Kraftwerky Soul Sonic Electrofunk interpretation of the song.

Soul Slinger´s 1996 Original completes the transatlantic sound-journey, before we hop over “the pond” to Liverpool, England, where Kooky joins in with a UK Electrohouse version in his own typical style. Bremen, Germany based artist Diffr3nt follows up with a pumping Techhouse version that will definitely not let you hold your feet still. And still the tune´s trip in it´s new 2011 shape has not ended: From the Northern German coastline it hops to Vienna, where the Austrian talents of Struboskop dress “Zulu Music 2011” in a funky House-robe.

I-Cue Sedgwick and Cedar Refix:

Mightiness Dubstep Remix

“Don´t Stop, Robot!” is a groovy, catchy Italo-Discohouse/Synthpop tune. The warm jazzy vocal bring this hypnotic tune up to epic heights, and soon you’ll be singing “Don´t Stop, Robot! Just sayin´ yes and no and yes and…”.

Track two, “Roboskop” furthers the Italo feeling on your turntable, getting you “pazzo” over it, as does track three, „Roboterotic“. Alberto Terzi´s Clubmix of “Don’t Stop, Robot” is a superb re-interpretation of the original. It´s Italo Synthpop grooves will have you doing “the robot” in no time. Why we are so sure about it? Well, because it’s worked like this on dancefloors from Shanghai to Vienna where the tune has already been tried and tested. On all those dancefloors, it didn’t take a minute to turn the “dance”floors into “Robot”floors…

German D&B artist Mightiness adds a massive D&B mix, New Yorker I-Cue contributes a funky Electro-mix Kraftwerk-style. Austrian artist Der Cube finally comes up with a chilled House mix. As always, dancefloor-burner quality comes with Liverpool based Kooky, who adds a massive UK-Electrohouse rework.

Struboskop, an Austrian dj/producer crew based in Vienna, whose crew-members Zorillah, Simeks and Techtrix “learned their skillz” in the beautiful Austrian mountain landscape of Vorarlberg. They have appeared frequently on international music-platforms and have been played by artists such as Round Table Knights (Made To Play, CH). Smalltown DJs (CAN), Social Disco Club (PRT), Top Billin (FIN), Functionist & Beware (UNLTD, AUT) and others.

Violetta Parisini is also Vienna based, a multi-talented Jazz singer who has just released her album “Giving You My Heart to Mend” on Universal. The album, produced with Florian Cojocaru, is a collection of catchy Jazz-Pop tunes but Violetta has not forgotten her commitment to electronic beats. Having discovered turntables as an instrument for herself and as an accompanying tool for her vocal-overdubs, she started a DJ-ing and singer career in 2001. Ever since, she has toured clubs between Berlin and Vienna, between Bratislava and Munich, her record-case in one hand and her microphone in the other.
