After numerous contributions to a broad variety of prestigeous compilations and other artists’ albums, we are happy to finally announce the release of JEN’s „A Taste Of Mellow Dramas“ 5 track EP.

Just in time for our birthday and the “Poets Dub” album, the 7 Samurai have also crafted the soopaexclusive track „Feel the same“ for this compilation, featuring Jamaican born Desmond Foster (Freddie Cruger, Zilverzurf) on vocals, who also is the elusive host throughout this complete “Poets Dub” session. More slices? Eat this: the rare Panoptikum remix for „Feel the same“ comes as a a deep and spiritual journey, while the mysterious Dubben turn that very same tune into a dry and funky dancefloor monster. And it sure doesn’t feel the same...Ask for sugar on top? This vinyl features nine accapella snippets by Desmond Foster and also a guest contribution by Grand Magneto: the momentarily most wanted reggae cover version of „Tainted Love“. Skank it! 

Release: 9th July 2007 on vinyl 12" 

How do we celebrate 10 exciting label years in style? By moving forward with a rewind of a truly special kind... including some of our finest music put “in the mix” by 7 Samurai (imagine a drumroll here).

And so, our gifted dream team selected outstanding productions by the likes of Brian Eno, Desmond Foster, Digital Jockey, Dubben, Waldeck, Stereotyp, Slop Shop, Kieser.Velten, Solar Moon, Atomhockey, Panoptikum, Zilverzurf and many more – and that’s our birthday cake right there: “Poets Dub”, mixed by 7 Samurai! Have a bite…
