Munich Techhouse label Konsulat Tonträger launches its rocket with 3-tracker by Tommigo

(Munich) ? The Greedy Rattle EP by Tommigo is the first release on the new German Electro and Techhouse label Konsulat Tonträger. The people around Konsulat claim about themselves they do 'The music of tomorrow and the sound of today!' The first release by Munich's sound wizzard Tommigo who also releases on System New York underlines that.

So the first release comes up with three very special Electro tracks. The title-track Greedy Rattle is a kind of Minimal Electro Techno, hard to define and with some cool vocals in it. The melodies and groovelines are very catchy and will directly go to your head. No chance to get out of again. Funktekker is the most Electro House like track on the Greedy Rattle EP. This uplifting tune is the right tool for all DJs, who wanna get their crowd wipped. Trippin To The Beat is the craziest and most outstanding EP track. It is a Minimal Techno masterpiece with its very special style. Tommigo is able to combine dark grooves and snares with a fat portion of funk. Mindblowing melodies will do the rest. Earstrain guaranteed!

Konsulat Tonträger is distributed digitally worldwide through all major retailers like Beatport, Trackitdown, DJdownload or Juno. Konsulat aims to release tasty club sound with different genre style mixes on each release. Also they say, that they are open minded for artists from all around the globe, to bring together a wide range of different local influences in their music and to present only the best Techno, Minimal and Techhouse productions which are strictly dedicated to the club.

So indeed one of the main philosophies of the young label is: 'Great music is not a question of style, it is a question of groove'.

Artist Interview

Your track ?Greedy Rattle? is going to be released soon on Konsulat. How did the track develop? What does it convey?

Tommigo: The track was a matter of luck. I was searching for bassdrums, as it happened that the bassdrum ran through a verb and afterwords a vocoder. I liked that sound very much, so I started to create ?Greedy Rattle?, added a voicelike synthesizer and recorded the voice-sample. And I remember that arranging and mixing was really fun, cause this track can run for hours in a loop and still doesn´t get on your nervs ? well, I guess ;)
?Greedy Rattle? has the honour to kick off the new label Konsulat. What does that mean to you?

Tommigo: Like you say ? this is really a big honour! It seems like the Konsulat crew is running a good business and I hope both of us will have a profit out of it.
For twelve years you have been working professionally as a musician and sound engineer. What kind of projects are you involved with?

Tommigo: I try out everything ? only one style or direction would not be good for me. I am getting bored too soon. I did scores for movies, sound for TV and advertising and I am working with artists. My own clubprojects are tommiGO and The Cleaners. But I also create downbeat and loungemusic as Leon Rodt. At the moment I am doing the sounddesign for a new game for children that´s gonna be out next year.
What fascinates you about electronic music more than about other styles?

Tommigo: It is definitely the kind of music, that brings out new ideas, styles and techniques of producing and creating sound. Nowhere you find so many neards and freaks ? and I mean it in an absolutely positive way!
What can we expect from you next?

Tommigo: My next releases will be on Robeat5 Records. First the Munich House Mafia's first E.P. and later the first Sir Ged single release, called Minimo. In January there will be a vocal house release by The Cleaners on System Records New York. And the new tommiGO is already at work. You will definitely hear from me!
