SACHA ROBOTTI & LUCA LOZANO

Why start a record label? Why now? In a climate of two-a-penny digital labels, unauthorized downloads and abundant Ableton DJs, it seems like a strange decision to make - a strange decision perhaps, with an inevitable outcome. The digital revolution has helped and hindered the music industry in equal measure; the current playing field vastly differs from the way it once was, models have shifted and times have changed.

Klasse Recordings was founded in reaction to the changing surroundings. We wanted to carve out a place for ourselves, where we had the freedom of choice regarding output, without worrying about the outside world. The sheer volume of new, digital dance music can be dizzying and at first glance, it might seem counter-productive to add to this ever growing mass. Nevertheless, the label considers music as the most important part of the whole "industry process". It is about creating a home for like-minded friends, a reclusive den if you will, in which we can immerse ourselves and simply create. Klasse is about returning to the music by treating it as art.

Waiting somewhere within, but not constricted by the boundaries of House and Techno, Klasse's musical output draws on many themes and ideas and is influenced heavily by travel, movement and the relationship between man and machine. Klasse's primary releases are about getting back to basics, making simple yet innovative club music for underground dancefloors and exploring what can be achieved through collaborations between musicians, producers and artists.

Our mix showcases samples from the first release, as well as some unreleased and unofficial material by Klasse artists. The rest of the selection was not about the newest and most exclusive titles, but rather a collection of tracks that we love very much, ones that we will always return too. Making a mix for home listening is always an interesting task and we have aimed for a flow that is somewhere in-between the intensity of the dancefloor and the attention that can be given whilst traveling and listening.

We very much hope you like it.
