Reymour packed their bags in the pre-Alps of Switzerland and left to start a new life in Bruxelles. This debut album finds originates in this transition, again in a bilingual environment, by now a Knekelhuis theme. Leviosa documents the emergence of a kind of dance built from chansons, synthpop and cute minimal wave. Luc Bersier’s wide musical spectrum reaches great heights while staying small. He creates the musical bedrock on which Reymour’s cabinet of musical curiosities rests, allowing us to drift away on the unctuous fumes of Lou’s vocals. On these tracks she covers a wide array of feelings, of doubt, sexual orientation, play and melancholia. And it all comes together in the reflection of life. Close friend and family guy Low Bat contributes vocals and gameplay on 2 of the album’s tracks. More

Whatdufaque?! Dutch artist Renée Van Trier is back on Swiss label CAF? for another record! Following her first album released in early 2020, she comes back with “HUMBLE,” the soundtrack of her new eponymous show performed at De Pont Museum (NL) and Arsenic (CH).

“At birth you are a promise, but at the same time also the greatest possible risk.” Inspired by children’s dances on TikTok where happy facades coexist with exploitative backgrounds, Renée Van Trier creates a fantasy world that’s anything but Disneyland. You’re invited to experience its soundtrack, taking you through dark atmospheres, eerie voices, glitched techno, and uplifting climaxes. Over the course of the 11 tracks, Renée Van Trier morphs into a dolphin, a puppet, and many other different characters, maintaining a blurry border between amazement and creepiness. Everyone wants the best for their children, but sometimes it doesn’t end More

Problème Technique is the debut album of Swiss band Hirsute. Hop in the van parked in front of the house and follow Elliot, Nina & Atakan in their journey from the countryside to the sea, from the fridge to the afterparty, from punk to psych-rock, from synth-pop to no-wave. Funnily serious or seriously funny, we still don’t really know, and they probably don’t either. The only certainty is that amateurism will prevail. More

For its eleventh release, CAF? is happy to present an EP bringing together Swiss producer GANJ and rapper Nathalie Froehlich. From dub to dubstep, these 6 tracks never fail to give an industrial feeling, recalling wanders inside foggy clubs, those where smoke-machines never stop. In addition to the powerful instrumentals, Nathalie Froehlich’s sharp tone and raw lyrics intertwine perfectly with the wobbly basses and clear hats. Extended party, everybody wants it crowdy. More

CAF? is pleased to present Gino Ritmo & Ricci Verace’s debut album: Night Shift (Part I). 808Hz’s Italo-sided project meets Ricci’s terrestrial and thirsty global wanderings to deliver a haze driven dance music, ranging from melo-synth-rides to harsher EBM-techno-strikes. Dark but warm at heart under the twilight. Langstrasse fueled. Both pyjama and club suited. More

Aris 1201/User 1201 – Musique à Risque (12"), which will be out 1st December. Following its sought after EP on its own label R2L in 2015, ARIS 1201 shares this new CAF? release with his other alias, USER 1201. While the A side is composed of three breaks tracks, the other side responds with two uptempo straight-to-the-point cuts. Overall, this sample infused 12" coming directly from Geneva will hopefully help us remember our best rave memories, while waiting for the club to reopen. In short: "ARIS 1201 & USER 1201 impose a risky EP for this smoking 8th release of CAF? – 1201 leaves no choice" More

Fresh out of winter, time for ploughing. Five o’clock Traffic and TowLie know each other well, and never hesitate to dive head first in a maelstrom of acidic grooves and metallic sounds. A good opportunity to dig in the fertile Swedish soils. From Malmö to Stockholm, stopping at the Valhalla, synthesizers and drum machines on the shoulder, this is the 7th release of the label CAF? More

The apparently 'Long lost' remixes of PANASONIC (Mika Vainio, Ilpo Väisänen,, Sami Salo) from two hugely influential UK industrial outfits, Zoviet France and Muslimgauze. It's still crazy these took so long to come out. Total heat. Highly Recommended!

"Unearthed remixes finally seeing a release after 23 years (now 27 years btw, as this 12" first appeared in 2020) . More
