Celebrating 2013!
With 2013 behind us, it’s good to stand still and look back. The releases, remixes and goodies from Rough Cut Records.
Press release:
This compilation looks back to 2013. The diversity, the beats and breaks, melodies and the rawness. Welcoming new artists and reviving some old. 2013 was the start up for the next generation Rough Cut Records. With the whole interesting year 2014 in front of us, we can smile back on the beautiful year 2013. Thanks to everyone involved! Let´s get Rough for 2014 !
Summer Compilation
Last summer I released a compilation with some nice tunes. Some old and some new tracks.
Press release:
The summer is coming and to celebrate the sun and happiness, we put together this “feel the warm breeze at the beach with a cocktail in your hand” compilation. That is of course a nice title, but ‘Summer Rough Cuts 2013’ just says all that, but a bit shorter. 14 tracks and a bonus DJ mix! Such a mix always comes in handy, when you’re playing somewhere, but you need to go to the toilet. It’s more than an hour of the best music, so, after your toilet visit, go and talk to that nice person, who has been staring at you from the bar! Brag about your mixing skills, by saying that you don’t need to be behind the decks to still mix perfectly. It’s just the perfect compilation for everyones need and joy. A few golden oldies mixed with some brand new stuff. These exclusive new tracks from projects like Tetraflux and MRE, will all have their own release in the near future, with and without remixes…all and more reason to get your copy now and hold on to it forever! Rough Cut Records is a sublabel of Touché Records

New Rough Cut release out soon
After 10 years, I revitalized my Rough Cut label. When sales went down in 1999 and I had to spend more time on my album on Mute / Future Groove, I stopped the label. With 18 releases from me and other artists, Rough Cut had grown into a real underground techno label, where experiments, distortion, techno and all kinds of styles came together. Last year I decided to restart the label. With new technologies and the digital age it has all become way to easy to release your own music. While everyone is bitching about all the crap that is been released, the crap just keeps on finding it’s way to the surface. Everyone is bitching about the clubscene and the mass amount of wannabee DJ’s, but no one seems to stop them from playing. These DJ’s even become arrogant enough to think they are actually good DJ’s…..damn….It’s just become to easy to participate. A shame, because not everyone is a producer or DJ. It’s the same if there would be a tool, which would make it very easy to plaster. Because there is still money to be made, everyone buys this tool and now think they can plaster. But no boys and girls…..please stop and start looking for another job and let the grown ups do their work. You are ruining the scene for people who do know what they are doing….
Back to Rough Cut records….I’m planning more releases this year and one or maybe two compilation albums. I already started working on remixes from the old catalogue.
Next release on Rough Cut is Jamez – Glock EP. With remixes from MRE and Fortress. I could say, these remixers are big names that had big releases on Superstition and Alphabet City in the nineties. And..that’s true, but Fortress and MRE are two aliases from me. I have over 40 aliases so I can choose 😉
So release soon, here a few snippets, enjoy:
Jamez – Glock (MRE’s Deep Edge Remix)
Jamez – Percize (Fortress Remix)
cheers everyone!
