Artist:Parov Stelar
Title:The Phantom
Label:Etage Noir Recordings
The grand daddy of electro-swing is back.

With the success of the "Coco" album, which was released in 2009, Parov Stelar has finally made the jump from being an insiders tip into the circle of top international producers. Sold-out concerts, placings in the charts and booked-out tours for his Parov Stelar Band are testimony to the meteoritic rise to fame of the musician from Linz.

Now he releases something new. "The Phantom" has been made available in 2 versions. While the original version is played as spirited piano and strings arrangement - and merrily flirts with Motown style, the 1930s version takes us back into the swing era usually adopted by Stelar and interprets "The Phantom" as a wild dance floor monster.

With this release Parov Stelar continues his series of dance EPs, which earned him his first successes.

Title:The Crunch - Diesler & Parov Stelar Rmx
Label:Etage Noir Recordings
The Crunch leads you into a world, where Jazz and House are unified with a ruff electro-bassline and a belting saxophone solo. The second track on the EP A Long Way replaces the saxophone with a xylophone and is a bit more rhythmic. Alongside the originals you get two heavyweight remixes courtesy of DIESLER and label head PAROV STELAR.
Artist:Mike Rigler
Title:Midnight Rendezvous
Label:Etage Noir Recordings
Midnight Rendezvous is one hell of a classic groovy dancefloor-banger, perfect in the tradition of Etage Noir Recordings. Mike Rigler digs deep in the crates and brings out a fine selection of brass and string samples which are homogenously combined with broken beats and the beautiful voice of Isabella Kaiser. Midnight Rendezvous is the prolongation of the success of forties retro-chic in modern dance-music on a extra high level. Some may have recognized Mike Rigler's quite successful Lovesick & Dirt EP of Etage Noir sub label Etage Special in 2008.
