Yes! It’s been a while since our last Retreat label party! We’ve actually decided to organize fewer events and make each of them more special…since we’re using the age-old expression of “quality over quantity” for our vinyl output, we might as well do the same concerning our parties ;-)

Our special guest this evening has flown straight from Australia: Adam McCornell has been DJing for more than ten years and became a fixture in Sydney’s flourishing electronic music scene via his fantastic “Late Night Shuffle” parties. Adam is a true connoisseur of House and Techno so we’re very looking forward to his Berlin debut!

Also on the bill tonight is Quarion, performing one of his much-praised live sets. The Q-man promised some more piano action this time so we will see if performing sweet folk with Jules Etienne has made him a better keyboarder or not. Quarion was also busy touring the moons around Jupiter these last weeks but he’s now focusing on composing new material for Drumpoet Community and Retreat. There are also rumours he started a side-project consisting of stripped-down MPC grooves…but Quarion didn’t wish to comment on that.

Last but not least, Lüneburg’s best musical export aka Session Victim will rock the 1′s and 2′s at the beginning of the party. You can expect some sweet House, Disco and Funk delicacies from the duo that is going from strength to strength with its recent output on Join The Dots or Delusions Of Grandeur. Ripping shows from the UK to Australia, Session Victim is set to make much more noise this year so stay tuned!

All in all, a great line-up of artists devoted to the art of moving butts, see you all in the basement!

Retreat Label Party – Edelweiss, Berlin

For the last Retreat party of 2010, we’re happy to invite Moomin, a fresh talent within the Berlin scene. This music-obsessed young cat has been collecting Hip-hop, Funk and Jazz since the early 90′s before discovering the beauty of House music at the turn of the millenium. A member of the always reliable White collective, Moomin has played in most of Berlin’s major clubs and has released groovy SP-1200 workouts on Aim and the aforementioned White imprint. Our friend has a deep knowledge of the art of moving butts, so we’re very eager to dance to his set in Edelweiss!

Session Victim will also be performing their incendary new live show…so despite the polar temperatures in Berlin, expect sweat to be dripping off the walls as the Masked Avengers tweak their Nu Funk formula to perfection! Although their DJ schedule is beginning to get packed with gigs all over Germany, Australia and England, the duo still spends most of its time in the studio working on new material as well as remixes for Future Classic, Farside or Z Records among others….trust us, you won’t escape Session Victim in 2011!

Making sure the party starts on a good note, Quarion will play a quality selection of Boogie, Funk and Deep House at the beginning of the night. On the production front, the Q-man is about to release a sonic postcard from the “Moons Around Jupiter”, a four-track EP that easily ranks as some of his best work so far…and of course it’s on Retreat!

So come down to Kreuzberg’s busiest basement and party with us as we close the 2010 chapter with a blast!

Retreat Label Party – Edelweiss, Berlin

Back in December 2009, Iron Curtis dropped a killer set at Edelweiss… but the best was yet to come a few months later:  the Iron Man submitted a mind-blowing demo to Retreat and the outcome is “Stumbled Across”,  a bold musical statement that gets released this week. Of course we had to throw in a special party for that!

Iron Curtis’ contemporary take on Chicago House through releases on Mirau, Mule or Jackoff has won him accolades left and right. But his musical knowledge is not limited to four-to-the-floor bangers and you can hear shades of Hip-Hop, Soul or Dubstep in Mr. Curtis’ productions. He’s also a very solid DJ and we can’t wait to see him turn Edelweiss upside-down once again!

We’re also excited to have Quarion back with one of his great live sets. He admits himself that Edelweiss is one of his favourite spots to perform and try out new music. Having just finished producing a rather interstellar EP for Retreat, the Q-man promises a live show full of surprises…but without compromising on the bounce factor!

Last but not least, Session Victim will make sure that the party starts RIGHT with their choice of quality Disco, Funk and slo-mo House. These musical brothers are currently one of Dance Music’s hottest properties, thanks to their distinctive “Cut-up groove” sound that burns dancefloors everywhere. And it’s only the beginning!

Definitely one of the best parties you’ll stumble across this month!
