The buzz has been around for some time, but now it’s getting real! The recently created Cologne Label MAGAZINE will release its debut record “COLOGNE TAPE.” Until now, they have made their appearances almost hidden, but it might not be too far-fetched to refer to them as a kind of supergroup: COLOGNE TAPE are ADA, AXEL WILLNER (THE FIELD), JÖRG BURGER (MODERNIST, BURGER & VOIGT), PHILIPP JANZEN (VON SPAR), JOHN STANIER (BATTLES), JENS-UWE BEYER (POPNONAME), JOHN HARTEN and DANIEL ANSORGE as well as other friends from the label’s entourage like MARIO KATZ, MICHAEL HEYDEBERECK and VOLKER PANNES (DEEPULSE).

So the group’s energy will also be palpable on the dance $oor. Watch out for MAGAZINE 2 by BARNT, MAGAZINE 3 by PNN + DOC (PNN and JAKI LIEBEZEIT) and MAGAZINE 4 by LOOPS OF YOUR HEART (aka THE FIELD)!

This experience is re$ected in the conceptual vinyl label MAGAZINE – With limited editions, MAGAZINE positions itself in between the art and music market and enhances the value of the object and its collection in an environment that is getting more and mo
