Coming on 12-3 - Pierre, Ruben Brundell and Leav

We've got some rather brilliant house music coming up, the three coming releases on Twelve-Three fit together nicelly.

French DJ and Neitee & Yeutta-member Pierre Grall drops his debut EP on our label next week, a certified cool three-tracker. Expect classic sounding house music with a clubby twist, big kicks and urging hats. We're super proud to have this guy on our rooster!

I'll follow up with my first release in the Cuts-series, I'm going vocal based and deep with that one - rhodes and bass.

To top it up, we'll release the third full EP of Leav (in about four weeks time) - It's called Glance and is without any doubt his best work to date. He's taking a dramatic turn towards the deeper side of things, perfecting his snare patterns, and we do appriciate the direction he's heading in!

About:

Malmö DJ and swell guy Jonathan Opasiak starts 2013 with his sophmore EP on 12-3, and boy o' boy are we glad so glad to have him back! You do remember right? Jonathan dropped the beautiful Watered Down Wahsed Out EP on 12-3 about a year ago, under the J.Op-alias. And the concept remains as we like it - brilliant deep house for the heart-body-mind.

Jonathan is one productive youngster. Making music for various labels under the name WooBanger, with partner in crime Johannes Herbert, as well as DJ:ing and throwing great parties in his home town, we feel real privileged that he has found the time to produce a cool follow up-release for us.

This in one of those EP:s where feeling is everything, a close-your-eyes-and-dance type of package. Three tracks to walk you down the lane of full fledged emmotions and deep basslines. Take your time listening to this one, and do it carefully.

Announcement: J.Op - Itso EP

People! We've got a quite magic 4-tracker coming your way! J.Op is bringing the soul back to 12-3, with some help from his friend Johannes Herbert, this is going to melt you, slowly.

Release date: January the 23!

About:

Accessibility is the keyword when we happily launch our new series of releases under the Cuts-tag. Nothing changes really, it's still house and techno of the sweetest kind. But with these little caramels, we're keeping it simple and tasty.

Black and white, no more than two tracks on the release. Direct. Just because we love that pick-up-feeling as much as a chunky four track EP. You dig? Once every four weeks, we'll bring a new Cuts-release to you, to cop and play.

A nice little quick fix if anything. Your monthly pick-me-up from the 12-3 camp. We're cool like that. And who'd be better to open this series than the ever so talented Leav? This first release might be a bit different from what we usually do, a side track towards the more bass side of things. But it's fun and furious and we're not the ones to widen our horizons.

Jonas Isaksson keeps it glacier crispy with one bomb of an a-side. One old school-sounding, super heay stab-fest. Try Million is followed up by perfect wind-down-uplifter-techno-track Such Drive, the most excellent way to complete this package. A new side to Leav, sounding delicious as always.

About:

2013 is here, and with it three freshly prepared tracks signed Ruben Brundell. Enter the future with these classic productions, house music with vocal focus, stripped down and sharp. Uplifting, thumping or deep like the Mariana Trench, pick and choose. We're equiping you with this release, promising to keep you moving constantly during the rest of 2013.

As we enter our third year as a label, things get even more thrilling. And though we have a lot of new stuff going on, we pledge to never loose focus on what's important: defining the perfect groove. Let this EP be the proof of that ambition. Okay?

Best of 2012 part 1

2013 is here and it's time to sum up 2012. Instead of a lengthy post with all my favorite tracks and videos i thought it would be easier to make an impromptu mixtape instead. Of course I was deluding myself, since 2012 was an terrific year in music. This one could have kept on going for an hour or two more and a lot of fantastic music got left out. But hey, maybe this year I'll do a 5 hour mix.
