The Hamburg-based german label Batterie Records will be releasing its new compilation Kollektion 2011 on september 2nd, 2011. As usual with this label, the CD is self-distributed so anyone interested in this music should get in touch with batterie-records.com asap... The CD is the continuation of the label's compilation series, the sequel to Kollektion 2010. This time they gave their attention to the electronic recycling - some call it remix... Not only pearls of the past are to be heard, but also exclusive and up to now unreleased tracks. And on the cover you can see, that they take every risk on them to play batterie (french for drumset) to the gallery.

Eden is a garden where everything we love and enjoy grows and flows. This is what the liner notes to Eden's debut album A Home for You say. Timo Weiner and Soenke Duewer, who is introducing his latest project A Green Meadow right here, adopted this idea. In two completely different electronic remixes, both of them present Eden's music from a DJ's perspective. The original songs are still unmistakably there, but new beats and sounds turn the initial folkjazz/singer-songwriter-soul into something definitely danceable.

With twelve tracks from a total of seven albums and EPs, Batterie's Kollektion 2010 is an aural showcase of the label's oeuvre so far. It features tracks that had been published in the last two years since the creation of the Hamburg-based label as well as new versions of older Ensemble Du Verre tracks and a remix by Norwegian mastermind Bugge Wesseltoft. Sönke Düwer aka Batterie Du Verre who produced all music on Batterie to date, handpicked some of his tracks from the last couple of years to form a new and exiting set. In spite of their various musical influences, these tracks seem to form a consistent and coherent album. It's their jazz background that sticks them together like glue. The compilation also demonstrates the evolution of the Batterie label into a steadily growing and inspiring community of musicians.

Eden is a garden, that's for certain. The garden of gardens even, a fantastically free space, in which everything grows and flows as good as it knows. The name fits perfectly then to this organically nurtured musical project, which the composer, producer and musician Sönke Düwer has now realized together with the singer and songwriter Ute Lorenzen and eight instrumental guests. With the debut-album A Home For You Eden now presents nothing less than their roots, and their world – where a truly dreamlike soprano voice sings over a plucked guitar, muted trumpet and bowed cello, while warm Wurlitzer-Sounds swing over soulful beats. The music meets somewhere between Folkjazz and Singer/Songwriter-Soul, sometimes intimately in a small circle, then again with the deep force of a large group.
