The label Harthouse is one of the most popular Techno-imprints worldwide. The Label was founded 1992 and was several years under the special guidance from Sven Väth. Harthouse has revolutionised the genre and managed with over 100 releases to set up an own memorial – the Sound of Frankfurt. At the beginning of 1998 the Under Cover Music Group took over the rights to use the brand name of the label. In the few years from 1998 up to 2003 where Harthouse existed under UCMG, there only appeared 9 singles, a few albums, some mix-cds and four retrospective-compilations. In 1998 Daredo Music took over the Harthouse trademark. There will be a different release-strategy than UCMG had, with different design (based on the Harthouse style), more quality releases and new artists - an adequate follow up of the old Harthouse sound and myth.

The first release under Harthouse Mannheim, the legitimate follower of Harthouse Frankfurt is from Zoo Brazil aka John Anderson und Johan Emmoths from Sweden. John Anderson und Johan Emmoths are also the creativ-mind behind projects like the Kelly Project, Laid, Cuba Computers, Nars, Outcold and as well Zoo Brazil. Behind the great honour to work together with important artists like Fatboy Slim, Human Leauge and Dannii Mingoue they produced with countless underground artists like James Holden, Blaze, Lo Fidelity Allstars, and Tony Senghore (just to name a few). Even the experience from over 40 single release and 20 remix-works has contributed that they have risen to one of the most innovative producerteams out there.

Zoo Brazil has managed to hit exactly the nerve of the era Harthouse without trying to be retro or copy something...call it Science Fiction-House, Progressive Voodoo-Techno or Liquid Monster Trance, this record is in any case an worthy follow up of the classic Harthouse releases!
Watch out for more..... Harthouse is coming!
