TITLE: Thumbs
LABEL: Connaisseur Supérieur
FORMAT: Vinyl 12â€
CAT.NO.: CNSS007-6
RELEASEDATE: September 19th, 2007
STYLE: Bouncing Techno
TRACKS: A: Original (6:55)

Pele is back, this time in cooperation with Shokh aka Dave Shokh, Dipolder label owner and Kiddaz.fm ambassador. Pele’s last release “Childhood’s End†is one of Connaisseur most successful releases so far in 2007, with plenty of licensings for many important summer compilations. Thumbs was already released as a limited 250 copies white label release in February this year. Finally this great rumbling Techno track found its way to Connaisseur, to be presented to a bigger audience.
“Thumbs†is a squeaky, twittery and kickin minimal Techno track packed with a bunch of little astonishing moments. Already featured on Patrick Chardronnet’s Grand Cru mix, this is more than a perfect mixing tool: A stripped down minimal hymn, no redundant emotions, strictly rhythm – a quality ass-shaker!
Simon Baker – Leeds-based shooting star of 2007. After his amazing releases on Playhouse, Connaisseur, Viva and his own imprint Infant, he drops this massively bouncing Techno monster of a remix. Kind of chicagoesque, kind of daft and massively pushing – pure peaktime madness!

Pele - Mars Marijh (CONNAISSEUR COMPILATION Vol. 1)
available on 2x12" and Double CD.
Frankfurt label Connaisseur release a label compilation with a bonus mix from Patrick Chardronnet. ‘Grand Cru 2007’ arrives in June.
Connaisseur is a new label that kicked off in 2005 with one of the year’s most influential tracks, Patrick Chardronnet's ‘Eve By Day’. Since then they’ve concentrated on the melodic and atmospheric side of techno with releases from Ripperton, Daso and Rekleiner (Geddes and Audiofly). This year ‘Driven’ by Estroe on the label was a particular success, picked up by DJs across the board from Ellen Allien to Satoshi Tomiee.
‘Grand Cru’ is the label’s first CD compilation and features new tracks from Daso, Estroe, RA podcaster Ripperton as well as a bit of old school Detroit from Plasmik. Elsewhere there are new artists Pele (Childhood’s End is the label’s next 12â€), Mark August and Kollektiv Turmstrasse.
The second CD is a label mix from Patrick Chardronnet, who has been concentrating on DJing rather than releasing tracks himself over the last year or so. Chardronnet’s mix features previously unreleased tracks from Ripperton, Daso & Pawas and Kollektiv Turmstrasse.

Pele - Childhood´s end (CONNAISSEUR SUPÉRIEUR 05)
inclusive Remix by Kollektiv Turmstrasse
Pele is our new maestro of sticky tunes. Once you have heard one of his tracks,
the melody won´t get out of your head. Pele lives in the countryside surrounding
the picturesque Bavarian town of Rosenheim, the city where the famous Electronica Act
Funkstörung also comes from.
Apart from his producer activities - he has already released on the label Dipolter and will
contribute a track for our upcoming compilation "GRAND CRU 2007" - he is an active Dj in the
bavarian and Austrian area, focused on expanding his sphere of action.
And of course we know he will quickly achieve his goal. "Childhoods End" is a massively bouncing
Detroit-influenced tune wi a dominating chord theme you will not orget. This track has a story:
When we received the first version almost one year ago, we already knew this could be a big one,
because of the wonderful chord theme. However, we weren´t completely convinced by the mix down.
The improvement of this tune became a mental trip for Pele. By producing his final version,
he acquired so many skills, that with this track he has left his fledging stages - which is why this
production is called Childhoods End.
Kollektiv Turmstrasse´s remix is - just like what we are used to by these two friendly northerners -
melodic, emotional and massively driving. In Germany, they themselves and their label "Musik gewinnt Freunde",
already have cult status, because of their fantastic music, impressive live sets and charming modesty.
As new members of the Connaisseur family, they introduce themselves with this brilliant remix, before they
hit the dancefloors with they contrbuting track on our compilation and their upcoming release on
Connaisseur this summer.
Influences: a lot of daft punk
