Very nice atmosphere all along the party, the music was groovy and crazy as I like it and what a good surprise to see that people even traveled from Nagoya to dance all night long !!

Can t wait to be there again…

Next minibar cocktail will be from mister Cabanne ! After one year of highly grooving research on perlon with ark, karat, found sound and minibar with spasm as Ultrakurt, the chef is back on his own with drinks for everybody. This new EP sounds like Cabanne’s found some new pumpin’ ingredients to shake the dancefloor. Sounds are fresh, kick is deep. Check out B side track which will show you the way to minimal thermosphere.

Hey, we’re so happy Warp Mart chose Minibar002 - the block kickin’ 12′ by Agnès - as a recommandation and wrote a review about it ! Warp Records is a reference for us, we love it !

Top Single Recommendation
Cabanne’s Minibar label present this excellent dry-funk workout from the Swiss producer Agnes. This is deep stuff with a great groove built on a splattering of tight clunks, wiggling bass stabs and mangled vocal snippets. It’s reminiscent of the best aspects of Matthew Dear’s output, water-tight production that’s at times disorientating but always focused on the flow and development of the rhythms and grooves.

Monsieur Niko Stumpo just finished the artwork for cabanne’s next ep on karat !!

Check his website out !! and ….. don’t miss the clothes !!

Tonight, Rex Club in Paris :

• Copacabannark (Perlon)
  Cabanne & Ark live !
• A jackin’phreak (Karat - Mental groove)
• Laetitia & Alex (Karat - Katapult)

This first Minibar team party was really cool ! We might post some sounds later on this week… Agnès’ live was damn great and the “Treat me bad” he got up with at the end made everyone go crazy.

Thanks to Cédric (triptyque), Spasm for his neat performance, John Thomas and Rashad for their visit, all our friends and visitors who enjoyed !
