Talk-Zone #41 Interview with CLÆP VISIONS Records

The passion for this music has taken us deeper into the scene. Linked to this is always to start mixing records and it evolved again a new passion, music production. Many of our friends have got the same interests and we have therefore also gained many loyal artists. After several joint events , we realized that our interpretation of house and techno is still quite unknown and sounds timeless. This mixture and the positive feedback has encouraged us to make this project and so „CLAP VISIONS“ was born.

It was more of a white release, in order to collect diverse styles of music and influences to start defining a label sound. This is a continuous process which will evolve over the next few releases, following up are the the EP’s of our artists.

We are a collective of DJs & producers. Some of us are more classical Vinyl DJs like B.Müller and Conrad.Hart. Conrad.Hart for example has made some interesting edits from classic vinyls and Tim Rilies attempts as a producer but is more a DJ at this point. Matti Julius is maybe a prodigy. He is a studied Jazz Guitarist and Composer and also he is studiing classical composition. He has an 16-head orchestra called VKKO (Verworner-Krause-Kammer-Orchester). Jesus Moses is a multi-talented musician and also has a hip hop alter ego called Jeezus and a little label called florentin.records. Next step is an official Compilation called „CLÆP I“ featuring maybe 5 or 6 of our artists . We’ve already start to choose the best tracks for the next EP.

Absolutely, but first we got to define a certain sound – a sound which will be from constantly significance at every release. But we are still in the early states so we need to take our time. After good selling digital records is the next step to press vinyl.

We are always looking for talented artists. Everybody is welcome to send us his music demos. The best way is a link, via we-transfer, dropbox or soundcloud.

The event was very familiar, all of our friends and the crowd from this area came togehter. Larger events, would need more professional support. In the future, we will work with clubs and professional organizers, currently we are planning the official release party tour.

Sanja is also at the very early stages – but is gaining more and more of a signature in his sound. This is also contributed to his studio equipment.
Coming from an instrumental background he always had a thing for tweaking knobs and pushing buttons. After experiencing virtual plugin synthesis he got interested in hardware equipment.
Currently he is using Ableton Live as DAW paired with a Novation Bass Station 2, a Dave Smith Mopho Keys and a Roland Aira TR 8.
He could not afford a lot of instruments so his friends and him shared and lend their equipment under each other.
He always tries to bring in as much timbres as possible: the warmth of analog synthesis, the sharpness of digital signals mixing it together, shaping a spectrum of different sounds.

Sischkes has been doing the job for our white release. But the next releases get a professional mastering of a befriended company. We want that Sischke can focus on the essentials and that is his music.

It’s not easy to live easy – Nowadays the music market has become much more difficult, the tracks get only a short attention than before the era of streaming. When you want to be part of this, than you must work hard.
