NRK Music hit the Berghain in January

NRK Music, the UK based deep house and tech-house label, make a rare foray into the events world with a special showcase party at the legendary Panorama Bar in Berlin in January.

Label boss and fledgling producer, Nick Harris, will be joined by special guests Ed Davenport, Justin Drake and Ian Pooley, on Friday 28th January for a session that will keep true to the NRK sound.

NRK Music was set up in 1996, and has been a leading underground label throughout the years. Always keeping abreast with musical shifts, the label has released hundreds of singles and compilation albums from artists as diverse as Joey Negro, Nick Holder, Peace Division, Rolando, Joe Claussell, DJ Sneak, Miguel Migs, Audio Soul Project, Ame, Ron Trent, Dave Clarke and countless others. The label’s discography reads like a who’s who of house music.

The NRK Music night at Panorama Bar features new signing, and Berlin resident Ed Davenport, also know for his stellar releases on Liebe Detail and Poker Flat. Fellow Brit, Justin Drake, was one half of tribal titans Peace Division, and now flies solo with releases and remixes on NRK, Tsuba and Fear Of Flying, and will also be DJing, alongside long time NRK associate, Ian Pooley. Pooley really needs little introduction, but for the uninitiated, the German producer has a long career recording for the likes of Force Inc, V2 and his own Pooled label, as well as remixing Daft Punk, Green Velvet, Yello, The Beloved and many more. Finally, label boss Nick Harris follows up a 12 month period of production activity which has included 3 releases for NRK and remixes for Mood Music and Nite Grooves with a spot at his own party!

NRK Music at Panorama Bar, Berlin on Friday 28th January 2010. Admission from €8.00, the event starts at midnight and runs through til dawn.

Amir's "Uneasy Listening" EP out now in vinyl!

Amir, AKA Rimah Khalouf, has been bubbling under on the house fraternity for a couple of years, and with a slew of stella releases for high profile labels such as Nick Curly’s 8Bit, Trapez, Great Stuff Recordings and bouq, he debuts for NRK with a cheeky 3 track EP. "Uneasy Listening" EP is out now on 12" vinyl, and will be available as a digital download on Beatport as from 1st March, with all other digital sites to follow a few weeks later.

“Narrativity” is a funky, bass driven workout with some frenetic percussion and shuffling groove, and is backed up on this release by a Justin Drake remix. “Drakey” is no stranger to the NRK label, being one half of house ‘legends’ Peace Division, who recorded for NRK many times over the years. Justin delivers a murky yet swinging remix, holding down some strings for a bit of drama.

“Anekdote” on the flip is a stripped back percussive track, not too dissimilar to that old Derrick Carter style from back in the day, with assorted vox clips, heavy stabs and teasing FX easing the track along. Perfect deep, jackin house.

DJ support;

Paul Woolford (Intimacy) - "Anekdote" is fuckin killer and I'll be playing loads.
Johnny D (Oslo) - I like the rhythms here
Rocky (X-Press 2) - Drake remix is for me
Timo Maas - "Narrativity" is very cool
Luke Solomon (Freaks) - Justin's mix is killer
Stacey Pullen (Transmat) - "Narrativity" is da bomb!
Dylan Hermelijn (2000 and One) - Great Justin Drake mix
Holgar Behn (H.O.S.H.) - Justin Drake is the master of swing and groove! He does it again. Great and will play and support.
Franck Roger (Real Tone) - I love "Anekdote", Blue Cucuracha style!
Dave Mothersole (Ministry Of Sound) - "Anekdote" is a cool track
Nils Nurnberg (8-Bit) - Wow, both original mixes are great, definately in my box! Timeless deep groovers.
Anja Schneider (Mobilee) - Justin Drake mix is very sexy!
Matthias Vogt (Motorcitysoul) - Another strong release from NRK
Alex Tepper (Drumcode) - Great release, will play all tracks.
James Teej (Rekids) - Liking the Justin Drake mix and "Anekdote", got a dope roll to it
Burnski (Back To Basics) - Justin Drake mix is nice and dubby
