It’s been two and a half years since our last label party with John Roberts and Baaz celebrating the release of Tenderpark 001 at the legendary Tape Club. We thought it was high time for another label showcase. This time we are celebrating the release of Tenderpark 012. Join us for a wonderful evening of [...]
Roman Rauch returns to Tenderpark full of verve. Both “Jams Up” and “Pow’s Beat Boutique” are brimming with jazzy chords, soulful vocals and Disco influences. The man from Vienna has definitely become a Deep House master in his own right. On remix duties Tenderpark welcomes Skipson (Quintessentials/Raum…Musik) on board – we’ve been a fan [...]
After The Zohar comes Black Dynamite – another well kept secret in the House music scene. On his “City To City EP” the man delights us with three raw and extremely funky tracks which display a deep love for oldschool Hip-Hop beats. In fact, these three tracks oscillate heavily between stripped down, Soul-influenced House [...]
The mysterious Zohar – nobody knows who he is, but what we do know is that his music is truly remarkable. We first took notice of him for his great records on the equally fantastic label Quintessentials. His love for Philly Soul samples is one of the reasons why he is such a perfect [...]
Alex Agore and Tenderpark – it just had to happen. Although Alex is not all soft and tender, above his tuff and powerful Garage beats it’s all sweetness. With his sugary chords and piano hooks as well as heavenly soul vocals Alex demonstrates his deep love for harmonic richness and melodic sensitivity. A passion [...]
Drei Farben House from Berlin and Roman Rauch from Vienna first met at a gig in the Austrian capital last spring. The two guys discovered that they share a common interest in Soul and Funk music as well as digging for old vinyls on flea markets. When it comes to this joint record, it’s [...]
While the first series of record artworks for catalogue numbers 001 to 005 had already been a fashion photo by photographer Julia Nitzschke, we have now started a different series from catalogue number 006 onwards, again shot by Nitzschke. This time Tenderpark has initiated a cooperation with Berlin based fashion label A.D.Deertz. The warm and [...]
YNK’s second EP for Tenderpark approaches the subject „tenderness“ with a lot of feel for musicality: „Dana Limes“ combines gentle piano melodies with multi-faceted, powerful rhythms and a field recording the musician has recorded in Helsinki. „Park Theme“ relies on an even more subtle field recording from a small park in Vienna, slows down [...]
With his Bellefonic EP, Drei Farben House creates a remarkable House-Disco-hybrid. Soul vocals, funky drums, warm basses – it’s all there. A wide range of accoustic sounds meets specifically selected electronic elements. With his rather classic idea of musicality Drei Farben House bridges rich soulfulness and slim, reduced Funk. Beauty and elegance, understatement and [...]
This is the complete picture of our artwork for the first five releases. Photography: Julia Nitzschke Model: William Jabbour Cardigan: Model’s own From Tenderpark 006 on, there will be new picture. It will be a fashion shot again, but we’re not giving away any more. So watch out [...]
