Klamauk.net : A Different Approach

Just outside of the city of Frankfurt lies Mainz, the capital of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Art collective Klamauk calls Mainz their home, where many of the labels artists live and prosper. Other musicians on the lineup come from all over the world, from Canada to Italy. Taking simple ideas of dance music and transforming them into impressionable after-thoughts can be quite the task for any new label, but Klamauk has seemed to excel in the platform of originality in its few years.


12inch vinyl | cat.-nr.: klak 001 | release date: 30.11.2008 | various artists | 300 pieces only | A1 prügelknabe, just two ordinary people | A2 splatter funk, paradroid | B1 prügelknabe rmx, le K | B2 mein klamauk, keinzweiter | colored by micha, tilman, anna, tobi, karsten | used waterproof thinliner for coloring

As described on their website, Klamauk means confusion, noise, and a variety of other synonyms, the label comes together to represent the individual on his/her journey through creation. With two vinyl releases since November 2008, it's very clear that the artists behind this clever project know exactly what they are doing. Each vinyl sleeve contains artwork by the musicians, hand-painted manually onto each limited pressing.


12inch vinyl | cat.-nr.: klak 002 | release date: 01.09.2009 | various artists | 500 pieces only | A1 the camouflage, paul frick | A2 rabo, scott | B1 sir slipper, the clover | B2 water passed a bridge, tom ellis | colored by micha, tilman, karsten and dennis | used spray cans for coloring

The music is refreshingly fun, with the ability to relax the listener at home or in a social environment. Click, snap, thump, roll, twist...the rhythm is redefined by each track. The artists seem to compliment each other, with common themes driven by common passions. While so many musicians and artists struggle to find their identity, Klamauk artists have already found theirs. Please visit klamauk.net for more information on the projects, and stay tuned!
