Meerestief presents Wassermusik – compiled, mixed and reworked by
Stickroth & Ercolino

Fire, uncontained, may burn brightly…and yet all-too briefly. But water will always find its own way. And it’s this element that characterizes the attitude of Stuttgart’s electronic label Meerestief: Everything must be allowed to flow. From its beginnings as a wild, white-water ride, Meerestief has evolved over time to become a broad river with a powerful undercurrents. Weather-tested and critically respected, Meerestief now contributes to such treasures as the recent ‘Time Warp’ mix cd by Loco Dice.

The very first label compilation to sail under the Meerestief flag is entitled 'Wassermusik'. This combines current favourites with as-yet-unreleased material and the recent choices of label owners Walter Ercolino and Daniela Stickroth.

In-house tracks such as 'Ronan's BBQ' (Xhin rmx) by Five Green Circle, Kabale & Liebe’s ‘Simplossible’ (Pheek rmx) and James What’s ‘Follicle’ sit alongside the work of Stickroth & Ercolino themselves. These in turn are stirred skillfully into cuts and remixes by Steve Bug, Extrawelt, Ripperton, Minilogue, Martin Landsky and Miss Yetti to form a very special water wonderland.

An interesting note: All of ‘Wassermusik’s tracks were mixed in classic analogue fashion, and only afterwards processed in ProTools where effects and samples were added. In-between these shifting layers you’ll hear exclusive traces of forthcoming Meerestief material.

‘Wassermusik’ reflects the philosophy of the label itself: Music needs both time and room within which it can fully unfold. Be warned ! – that which is deceptively minimal and smooth on the surface may contain hidden depths...

Let it flow.
