The 24th Anniversary Compilation on Freude am Tanzen is now released as a bundle of all three EPs together, exclusively with an individually designed rick. From House to Minimal to Dub Techno, the compilation reflects the diversity of the label's history. With familiar and new faces. This compilation is the beginning of a new phase for the music label from Jena.

Freude am Tanzen is back for a very special occasion. In 2022 and 2023, three Various Artists EPs will be released, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the label from Thuringia. Whilst occasions like this would normally be celebrated on the quarter century, this release makes sense not only on the mathematical level. 3 compilations with 4 tracks provide the half of 24.
The release however also makes sense in terms of history. Freude am Tanzen is showcasing a broad range of electronic music, never neglecting their history but also looking into the future.

Chapter ONE

Module One
Module One is a Russian-born and Berlin-based electronic music producer and DJ. After some inspiration from travels through the United States, he started the Module One project, drawing inspiration from various backgrounds. Having released records Detroit Underground, Fauxpas Musik. Bricks, LumieresLaNuit, Another, Modular expansion and uncage, to only name a few, we are more than happy that he's contributed a track to the first part of the compilation!

Rising Sun
The Berlin based Producer and DJ is known for being very versatile and releasing tracks across a broad genre spectrum. However, all his works emphasize on the soul and telling a story. They most certainly go under the skin. Since starting the Rising Sun project, Steffen has been very productive, releasing on the likes of Fauxpas Musik, Wake Up! Records or on his own imprints Kristofferson Kristofferson and Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine. Welcome to Freude am Tanzen!

Soela
The Russian born artist now living in Berlin has been making waves in the recent years. She transforms her knowledge of being both an experienced pianist and vocalist into a fresh and honest take on minimal but melodic house music. Her highly acclaimed debut album, Genuine Silk' was released on Dial. Further releases, including collaborations with Christopher Ledger,
Steve O'Sullivan and Module One, have been published on Lost Palms, Sushitech, Kompakt or E-Beamz. It is truly a pleasure having Soela on Freude am Tanzen)

Chuck Boris
Formerly known as Comfort Fit, the Berlin producer released the Mega EP in 2015 on the label Musik Krause. His sound crossed with the music of artists such as Laurent Garnier, AtJazz, Opolopo, Robot Koch and Shlomo. Boris is now producing bangers for the dance floor under the new alter ego, just like his latest release on FAT-zig. A new mentality, but the artist's signature is
unmistakable.

Chapter Two

Caldera
The German born but UK-based artist mostly focusses on bass driven productions, while always remaining a melodic element and an unmistakable ear for percussion. Next to co-running the Riviera Club imprint. Malte has been showing his musical vision amongst others on West Norwood Cassette Library, sonic moire, Bokhari Records and Noorden. Lovely to have him on Freude am Tanzen.

Freund der Familie
Since the early 2000's Freund der Familie have been exploring and releasing in the field of electronic music. Their sound always holds and experimental touch, while delivering deep and dubby, sometimes melancholy tracks for the dance floor. Next to their own label, that also is Freund der Familie, they have put out music on Telrae, Broque, Cism and Aeronautique. Having had them as guests in our mothership Kassablanca, Freund der Familie make their debut release
on our label. Thank you!

Gathaspar
There are only very few artists out there, that incorporate vocals into a track like Gathaspar. This can be best experienced on his own imprint Chypre, that he has started in 2016. Next to his impeccable choice of vocals he also knows how to build not only a beat but a very strong vibe Apart from an album in collaboration with MRI on their Resopal Schallware, Gathaspar has released on Amam, Nilla, Howl Stamp and Curtea veche, but also is no stranger to Freude am Tanzen having released two eP's already. Welcome back!

Front Left
Having started his musical journey in the field of Hip-Hop, the British DJ and Producer has now focussed on a rather electronic approach to music. Having released his first two cP's on Freude
am Tanzen, we are more than exited to see what the future holds for this promising talent.

Chapter THREE

effgee
Effgee is an up and coming producer and DJ from Hamburg, now living in Berlin. He has gained attention not only from Freude am Tanzen, but from renowned selectors all over the world with his own imprint Fellice. As there are already fresh releases cooking up in his studio, we are very happy that Effgee is part of this compilation. Thank you!
 
d.m.s.
The thuringian musician is no stranger to Freude am Tanzen. Formerly part of the duo Taron Trekka, Daniel Müller-Sachs has been concentrating on his solo-project in recent years, already contributing two EP’s alongside a compilation for the label. Apart from that, he is known for his outstanding deep DJ sets.
 
Lauer
Philipp Lauer is no stranger to electronic music. Having been around since over 20 years, he is known for his solo productions and remixes as well as collaborations like Tuff City Kids and Arto Mwabe. Next to being a regular on Permanent Vacation, Running Back and LARJ, Lauer also runs his own label Brontosaurus. Having produced five solo albums already, Lauer is still hungry and creative. We like!
 
LoYoTo
The Berlin-Duo has also been around since a minute. DJ Cle was part of the legendary Märtini Brös and one of the first residents at Planet and E-Werk, while Eva Be has made a name for herself since 1995, releasing on Pokerflat amongst others. LoYoTo have released EP’s on Upon.You, Watergate Records and Foul & Sunk. Nice to have them on Freude am Tanzen.
