Internationally known for productions and DJ-sets from Tube & Berger, Juliet Sikora and P.A.C.O., Kittball Records is a platform for the guys to release tracks of their own and their fellow artists, bringing you the “Kitt” from their favourite tracks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside their own productions, the Kittball crew has been releasing House and Tech House tracks since 2005, by artists like Timo Maas, Format:B, Ida Engberg, Ante Perry, Daniel Steinberg, Veerus & Maxie Devine, Lexer, Tapesh, Jay Lumen, Teenage Mutants, George Morel, Wild Culture, P.A.C.O., in.deed, Paji and Turntablerocker<\/strong>. A typical Kittball release can be recognised by the fresh sound, deep bass and a tiny pinch of irony.<\/p>\n

Now, celebrating 10 years as a label, Kittball Records drops its 100th release featuring tracks from the label\u2019s founders, regulars and some special guests to boot.<\/p>\n

With that, we continue our new series here and in conjunction with Deep House Amsterdam, highlighting some of our favourite labels around the world, we thought we would catch up with Juliet Sikora and get the scoop on all things Kittball Records. Here, you will find information on the label\u2019s history, ethos, releases and future. As you can probably tell by know, we are asking each respective label owner the same questions. With this approach, we hope these showcases will be as educational and informative (for all you aspiring label heads out there) as they are entertaining.<\/p>\n

Also, you will find an exclusive mix from Kittball Records’ Juliet Sikora, giving readers an idea of the Kittball Records sound as its meant to be heard\u2026in the mix!<\/p>\n

“We had this punk attitude and didn\u2019t want to depend on a major label”<\/span><\/h2>\n

What does Kittball add to the dance music spectrum? <\/strong>
\nThese answers always sound cheesy and \u201cconstructed\u201d but well: we always try to add real pieces of music to the dance music market. I mean, nowadays it\u2019s really easy to put some loop samples together and create pretty cold rhythm tracks. We try to make the difference in creating something with soul and feelings, as that\u2019s what makes a song special.<\/p>\n

When did you first think about launching Kittball?<\/strong>
\nImmediately when we started to make electronic music. We had this punk attitude and didn\u2019t want to depend on a major label so that was the only solution in our minds.<\/p>\n

When did Kittball actually launch?<\/strong>
\nHehe, we are celebrating our 10th anniversary, you should have done your homework \u263a<\/p>\n
