We promise to be back with great new releases in 2012.
We will start in march with “Conrad Schnitzler – 00/830 – Endtime”
This record is the last recording of this great musician. It’s a masterpiece!
The second release is the beginning of a series of releases with works from Ernstalbrecht Stiebler. He has been ignored too long. We hope this changes soon.
More will come soon.

Andreas Reihse is a Berlin based musician. Since 1994 he is well known in his role as member of Kreidler. In between he releases club music, e.g. as April or with Detlef Weinrich (Kreidler, Tolouse Lowtrax) as Binford on labels like italic, onitor orsmoothrooms. He also composed soundtracks for artists – for movies, plays or installations (e.g. for Rosemarie Trockel, Maximilian Zentz Zlomowitz, Thea Djordjadze, Andreas Gursky, Frances Scholz/Mark von Schlegell, among others).
Romantic Comedy now is driving, percussive dance music. Music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen. It’s a comedy in six acts: from Los Angeles to Düsseldorf and back again.
Music and Lyrics? - Pop goes my heart! – Of course it’s a rom com, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow, too.
Der lange Weg nach Düsseldorf, the title maybe reminds you of Mittagspause‘s classical punk anthem Der lange Weg nach Derendorf, indeed Derendorf, this grey area of the provincial capital Düsseldorf where Andreas Reihse in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room with Stefan Betke, next to the slaughterhouse; but Langeweg also was the adress of Klaus Dinger’s studio in Zeeland.
The titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters who testify that the trip to the West coast makes halt in Manchester, Milano, Brussels and London. Without forgetting Charlottenburg and Williamsburg. Places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves as well as the club. Deine Disco braucht Dich.
Music and Lyrics: Andreas Reihse.
With readings by Post Industrial Boys and Maximilian Dax, and a translation by Armin Linke.
Recorded and mixed at Shed in The Park Cologne, and Spreepark Studios Berlin.
Mastered by Christian Borngräber. Vinylcutting by Stefan Betke, scape.
Cover artwork by Thea Djordjadze.

we from m=minimal lost a friend, mentor and of course a giant of electronic music. we are really sad.
his work was a milestone in the history of electronic music and his current releases are still.
He was never a sold out musician and his work always on the highest level.
Without Conrad, we wouldn’t have started m=minimal. he gave us the chance to re-release key recordings.
He liked what we did and this was the beginning of our work with his special “solen” (solo tracks) to create “con – struct”.
Con was a really lovely person and told us a lot of great stories about beuys, the beginning of krautrock, 80`s industrial and the beginning of the growing global interest in Conrad`s music in the 90′s. Conrads humor was very special and we always had a great time at his place.
Me, jens strüver came first in contact with Conrad, because of his private release “con´84″.
I have a huge collection of his records and I am a great fan and so I got the chance to meet him for the first time in 2007 and make an interview together with jan kedves for the music magazine “spex”. This was a great experience.
my partner and friend christian borngräber and me were planning the label m=minimal and our first artist on our list was conrad. I called him, told him what we would like to release ( zug ( the long original version) and one day later i got the cd master by mail. he was so uncomplicated. a real gentlemen. and this was the beginnig of a to short friendship and workingship.
For the future we still work with Conrad Schnitzler’s oeuvre, but this is a different story.
While I write this words, I’m listening to Conrad´s last solo record “endtime (00/830)” on headphones and I can tell you, this man and his music are so unique. a big loss. we miss him. Conrad – thanks for everything. so long con.
