“Our ways crossed 3 years ago during one of my stay in Gothenburg”, remembers Dairmount about his first meeting with Joel Alter. “Our common friend Christoffer Berg introduced us and we spent a very chilled summer day together, discussing & listening to some of his works in progress. I brought back some of them on a cdr and this was the start of an artistic exchange that shaped up in the years following… It was always clear to me that Joel was a personality I would be happy to introduce to listeners the day I would found my own label… ”Despite the fact that Alter has been one of the main underdogs of the Swedish Techno scene, he has never been interested to take part to the ego cult of the global Techno planet. He took care of shaping his sound on a long period of time, eventually catching the attention of Dj Hell & Richie Hawtin who both released some of his works on their Gigolo & M_nus imprints & relocated in Berlin in search of fresh inspiration.
“What fascinated me very quickly with Joel is how his music embodies the bare essentials of the Techno spirit. He lives & breathes this music nearly as a spiritual experience” claims enthusiastically Dairmount. “it was really important to me to bring him to display the genuine soul of his Techno vision & to develop the tracks that were displaying this unique contrast of organic & mechanical values…”
Dairmount’s aim has been to bring an homogenic collection of tunes showing perfectly the strong emotional versatility of Alter and his outstanding science of the dancefloor : Omerta displays a unique energy & bounce while exploring dubby territories. A dub factor raising high with the haunting Preaching To The Choir and the disturbing Alley Cat, both exploring sounds with depth & determination. The secret weapon of this EP is definitely the African influenced cut called Jungle Fever that seems to be tailor made to fit Sirs Villalobos & Luciano’s sets.

“A very interesting package… again, quality can not be question on this label but maybe lacking a tiny bit of soul for my ears overall… alley cat has an adictive groove and i will be supporting jungle fever 100%. great!”
