Something you need to know.

Hey folks,

today 19th of September my (& Dominik Marz’s & Rampue’s & Nils Corßen’s) new EP "Out of the other side" is released on Suol. So I thought, I might just take the opportunity to get rid of this elephant in the mainroom that has been around since roughly April of this year. So, whoomp, there you go:

Trickski is no longer.

I stopped fulfilling my role as the producer and one half of the DJ-team in this project. I have cancelled all gigs that required me to use this name and will never again set up a project for Trickski on my computer. I will still continue to make music, though. Under my own name. I’ll pick up the thread where I left it 10 years ago with my first solo-EP on Cabinet Records. I will still collaborate. I will still express my love for music.

For whoever wants to know more, I have put together a little Mc Cartney-inspired Q&A.

Q: Why did you decide to go solo?
A: Because I have everything I need for great music at home, played around with it and liked the results.

Q: Were you influenced by your Trickski background?
A: You can’t really keep one from the other – I have produced Trickski, learned a lot while doing so, but … no, actually not. The new stuff is very different, although there might be similarities.

Q: Are all songs coming up by Yannick Labbé alone?
A: Nope. I have found a great partner in Dominik Marz, and we’ve been very busy. The "Out of the other side EP" is one result of this coop. Another one is the already released remix for my buddy Coss on Dantze.

Q: With all this coop-talk … is there a new project coming up?
A: No. We just work together really well. But 100%-solo stuff is already in the pipeline – I have been working alone a lot these last months and there will be a few EPs released in the very near future. Plus at least one or two more remixes.

Q: Do you enjoy working as a solo?

A: Yes. During the production-process, I can agree very well with myself.

Q: Are you able to describe the texture or the feel of your new music in a few words?
A: Peaceful, energetic, quirky, melodic, girly-techno.

Q: How long did it take to complete what you have now?
A: Dominik and me started working together on our new songs around Xmas of 2013 until roughly today. As for the solo-production-period, it took me about 2 months to produce roughly 7 or 8 tracks that I like a lot.

Q: When will the new tracks be released?
A: The "Out of the other Side EP" will see the light on Suol on September 19th. There’s no date for the other tracks yet, but the label that I signed the tunes to (Hafendisko from Hamburg) and me are trying to get at least one more release out this year. "Worst" case would be two Hafendisko-releases at the beginning of next year.

Q: Will Dominik and Yannick become a new Trickski?
A: No, we will become Dominik Marz and Yannick Labbé. There won’t be a new, next or future Trickski.

Q: Did you miss the Trickski producing process at any point?
A: No.

Q: Are you planning a new album or single with Trickski?
A: No.

Q: Is your break with Trickski temporary or permanent, due to personal differences or musical ones?
A: Personal differences, business differences, musical differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my wife, my friends and my two cats. And I don’t think that this will change in the near future.

Q: Do you foresee a time when Trickski becomes an active partnership again?
A: No.

Q: What is your relationship with Suol?
A: I still release on Suol. The ties between the people at the label and me have strengthened these last months.

Q: What sort of music has influenced you on the new songs?A: Good music.

Q: What are your plans now?
A: Initially, I was planning to become a shepheard on the island of Majorca. But I don’t speak Spanish. So, my only plan right now is to be happy.

TO THE TOP

Yannick Labbé & Dominik Marz
Out Of The Other Side EP

Double the trouble and you’ll triple the fun – after the end of Trickski earlier this year, Yannick Labbé decided to make a record together with one of his favourite upcoming producers: Dominik Marz.
The result: the 3-tracker "Out Of The Other Side EP" on Suol.

Out Of This Cage

Other Side

Out Of This Cage The Rampue remix

"Out Of This Cage" is a prime slice of leftfield house music featuring the quirky vocals of Nils Corssen (which some might know from his collab on Daniel Bortz’ album).

"Other Side" carries you off to the, erm, well … other side of house music – dreamy, melodic, it’s everything you need for the very early or very late party-moments.

The Rampue remix of "Out Of This Cage" finally injects some techno flavour into the whole package while integrating Corssen’s vocals even more than the original cut – made for the dancefloor, made of melodies.
