Various Artists – 10Y of Connaisseur Part 2

by Shlomi Biton May 22, 2016

WORD FROM Connaisseur Recordings:

Dear friends of Connaisseur,

In our scene, a decade is a long time.
When we started the label, we didn’t have a master plan,
we simply wanted to put out good music we loved, of
which we were sure others would love it as well. The way
Connaisseur subsequently grew came naturally. If you are
music lovers like we are, current musical tendencies will of
course always have an infuence on your sound, but
basically we stayed true to ourselves and our core has
always stayed the same. Yes, we love melodies, yes, we
love deepness and yes, we love great emotions, but in

For our anniversary release, we had the idea of asking for
collaborations only, as we like the energy of two creative
minds coming together and creating something special.
Some of the chosen couples had already worked together,
others had not. As a result, we now have 6 collaborations,
which will be released digitally in two parts and as a
selection of three tracks from the two parts on a very nice,
limited vinyl.
which electronic style these are conveyed, is rather
secondary. That is our leitmotif, from “Eve By Day” until
today and every day to come.

We are very happy about the variety of styles we have
received: From modern trance in the best possible manner
f rom Olderic and Peter Pardeike, over timeless
Detroit-infuenced techno-guardian sound by the two
legends Aril Brikha and Chymera, start-of-the-art
melodic tech-house from our fgureheads Lehar and
Musumeci, a cover-version of the 90ies alternative rock
classic „Pets“ from Pornos for Pyros by our norse darlings
Of Norway in collaboration with the Scandinavian popstar
Linnea Dale and the multi-instrumentalist Preben
Olram, a Warp-style electronica pearl by the Wareika
sidekick project Silky Raven together with Hamburg
club-dj legend Solaris 100, to last but not least a techy
guarantor by Maltese pirate The Element and
Connaisseur label head Alex Flitsch.

This is part two of 10y of Connaisseur featuring Aril Brikha
& Chymera, The Element & Alex Flitsch and Of Norway &
Linnea Dale & Preben Olram.

Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for 10 years of
having shared goose bumps with us!

The Connaisseur family.
