The brainchild of Swedish sound architect, Cari Lekebusch, H-Productions has come to be known the world-over as a brand that is synonymous with the evergreen techno scene. Often credited with serving as inspiration to a generation of electronic music producers, the label mirrors the creative attributes of its founder; earning a reputation as a diverse and evolutionary force within techno thanks to the steady stream of quality productions that collectively make up an enviable back catalogue that will reach a staggering ninety-five releases by the time the label clocks up its eighteenth year at the end of 2011. Such longevity is testament to Lekebusch’s unwavering commitment to quality and his desire to constantly move things forward. Once described by Cari himself as ‘anything but ordinary’, 2011 will witness H-Productions take yet another significant step on its already remarkable journey. Taking inspiration from the original name of the label - Hybrid Productions – this latest chapter of the story will reflect the theme of mixing, fusing and cross-breeding musical elements to create a unique amalgamation of sounds, styles and influences across both the live performance medium and the labels recorded output. In order to help bring this ambitious idea to life, Lekebusch has recruited a select group of classic techno names that will collaborate musically and in with performances to create a release and events schedule that will drive the H-Productions brand throughout 2011. Luke Slater, The Advent, Jesper Dahlbäck, Joel Mull, Alexi Delano and Tony Rohr will be contributing singles, albums, mix compilations and collaboration EP’s with special H-Productions events to be staged at the best Techno venues across Europe featuring line ups selected from the above roster planned throughout 2011. Look out for special back-2-back sets, exclusive live shows and freestyle vocal accompaniment from H-Production’s resident songbird, Zoe Xenia. The concept will be launched on January 28th at Melkweg, Amsterdam with Cari Lekebusch, Luke Slater and Tony Rohr; whose appearance marks the start of a tour to promote his ‘Oddlantik Avenue’ album that will be released on H-Productions on February 14th. Further shows are planned for the first half of 2011 at Berghain, Berlin; Fabric, London; Kollingsbord, Stockholm and Komplex, Zurich. Forthcoming releases include the imaginative analogue-only “Hands On Experience” collaboration EP from Cari Lekebusch and Jesper Dahlbäck; The Advent & Industrialyzer’s ‘Sch Exp’ EP, the debut of the much anticipated Lekebusch & Mull production partnership, new material from Alexi Delano and a special two-disc mix compilation which will chart the musical history of H-Productions; blending tracks from the labels deep catalogue with specially commissioned new music from the H-Productions roster.
