Here is a little foretaste of what is awaiting tomorrow night, Saturday May 22nd, on the occasion of Airdrop’s come back to Love NYC! Sir Martin Eyerer is already in the country and will make serious damage in the City of Angels tonight at King King. Tomorrow, he will be announcing his new record on Airdrop, In My House, along with fellow remixers Crazy Larry, Punisher and Pat Fontes…

Martin Eyerer has been a DJ for 20 years – and just as many years a producer, label owner, radio show producer. Throw in his two young children and it seems that the energy never leaves his side. Martin Eyerer is not a laptop artist, but a true musician. His high-end studio meets the highest requirements and has become an interdisciplinary interface for mastering.

As an important platform for his music Martin Eyerer has founded his own labels – Kling Klong and Session Deluxe. Due to the conscientious release policy Martin Eyerer was able to establish an independent sound between electro, minimal and tech-house on Kling Klong and more housy and underground on Session Deluxe.

Whether collaborations, solo works, remixes or compilations, all his works appear almost monthly on dance-floor dominating labels, like Kling Klong, Systematic, Audiomatique, Great Stuff, Kickboxer… The most unbelievable aspect of this is the variety of styles Martin Eyerer stands for. There is no segment from Deep House to Minimal Techno that the man is not in control of…

Knowing about the tidalwave that was coming up with our second Aux-Rec release, we prompted the boys behind the CHILDHOOD ’87 project to create what is without a doubt the most exciting AirPod episode so far!

LE LOUP & FUNKALICIOUS JAMES are the two childhood buddies behind this podcast and the amazing Inner Life edit on AUX02‘s B-Side : Caught Up, has been lifting the spirits and elevating the floors over the last few months.

Being born the same year, growing up together and dancing break in their teens, the two rascals share similar ideas develloped here into one historically dense mix.

Raw old-school grooves, gritty house, disco and carefully selected songs à la Moodymann, make up for the perfect blend : calling sunshine into the cold weather, breaking the thick winter cloud layer… (Watch out for Funkalicious James’ edit of Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes”…)

This 35th episode prepared with love, respect and mastery by CHILDHOOD ’87 is undoubtedly our favourite. Enjoy this soundtrack to an ardent mahogany evening, ’til the little hours.

So many things happened in PUNISHER‘s life since then: between flying to countless gigs stateswide, rocking the Hejdrop @ DEMF 2009 and playing Tresor Berlin a couple months ago… dancefloors have been wallopped and ravers punished… And not with any kinda weapons, hot burning wax is PUNISHER‘s apparatus of choice.

With releases banged out in 2009 on Airdrop and on Open Concept, the 2010 charger is packed with golden bullets for Pun Pun: a remix on the recently founded Kerohand (K.Hand & Kero‘s label – check out the amazing 1st release here), a record on Hej (Punisher’s own) and a European tour planned for Summer 2010… Punishment is upon us!

The nutty nutty CRAZY LARRY has embarked a few weeks ago on a month-long statewide journey! Crossing the United States diagonally, back and again, rigged with his super all-that-Larry-can-fly plane ticket, the Crazy one is puttin himself into a motley of culinary adventures. You can follow his whereabouts on the blog setup for the occasion http://crazylarry.posterous.com

This set has been recorded while CRAZY LARRY was on his Las Vegas stop. Picture a lavish yet smutty Vegas downtown cocktail room and yes… this is the perfect soundtrack to it. All time house classics flirt here with new groovy pieces, randy Larry… shaggy!

For those of you who dont know CRAZY LARRY yet, it’s seriously about time you get acquaintened!

During WMC in March ’09, LARRY hosted MATHIAS TANZMANN‘s entire Moonharbour label crew for a fantastic celebration. On the occasion of DEMF, May ’09, he chartered a whole steam boat to host the WHIGNOMY BROTHERS, LUCIANO, LOCO DICE and the INNERVISIONS ORCHESTRA‘s after festival sets … on three different decks!

In June 2009, CRAZY LARRY released the “Jenkim EP” on Airdrop Records, featuring two original CL bombs and a ROBERT DIETZ remix , his new record will come out on Hallucination Ltd, DJ THREE’s label and will feature a remix by GLACIER team-mate PIER BUCCI.
