Polly Records, the new Hamburg based music imprint kicks of with a 2 Track 7'' record added by 3 digital jams called "Bumpers". On this release, producer Speckman captures a part of his 2020 outlet, which includes a heavy UK influence, driven sound-textures as well as fast and shaking beats. At some point it might feel like you would touch the power supply with wet fingers. The producer and Golden Pudel Club resident Speckman also happens to be a member and co-founder of the Polly Records Crew. Accompanied by his fellows and partners Natalie Andruszkiewicz and Malte von der Lancken, who both are heavily involved in the Hamburg club and art scene, they built the group behind the promissing new label. Andruszkiewicz, graphic-designer and artist, known for her exquisite and unique style in colors, forms and typography evolved in a surrounding of bands and musicians, her talent and high demand led into works such as Booklets, Party-Flyers and Album-Covers for bands like Aroma or Pool. Malte von der Lancken, does bookings for the highly reputed club Uebel & Gefährlich and is responsible for tons of great parties that clearly pushed the landscape of electronic dance music around the city of Hamburg since years.
With forced powers the trio is now setting up Polly Records, a label that is willing to push boundaries and provide a platform to artists that really try to outbreak specific genres or styles, visually and audio vise. Aware of a long-lasting tradition of great hamburg based institutions such as Smallville Records, Dial or the Golden Pudel Club, Polly will certainly continue that road but perhaps in another vehicle for example a sportscar with butterfly doors.
After Speckman's "Bumpers" EP which is going to be released in late summer, the label wants to introduce another hamburg based talent, that been kept hidden for too long. Stay tuned.

The first release from 〈Polly Records〉, a label founded by members deeply involved in Hamburg’s club and art scenes, including the Golden Pudel Club—a landmark in Hamburg where alternative club culture has taken root. Speckman, a resident of the Golden Pudel Club, has also released a split with Sofie Royer—who made her debut on *Stones Throw*—via *Public Possession*.
Irregular time signatures, cut-up breakbeats, guitar loops, and electronic sounds. A unique, lo-fi dance track that’s absolutely fantastic. It creates a mutant groove. The B-side is an outlaw electro track featuring a collage of freaky vocals and racing-car Doppler sounds. A release that’s quintessentially Golden Pudel Club. A 7-inch on a PVC sleeve. Digital downloads are also available. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
