Kapitän Platte

We will start printing the cover of EF’s “I am responsible” today and will send out the first copies next weekend.

The limited edition is already sold out, but oc course the “normal” version is also beautiful.

We have some of the colored vinyl version of the Lockerbie LP left and the special pre-order-deal for both records will be valid until March.

Aktualisiere...

Ahoi Ladies and Gentlemen,

before we start with the details for our new pre-order, we can announce the winner for this round of our neverending photo-contest.
This time it is Julian Grunden. He’s the winner of a Lockerbie LP (of course on coloured vinyl)
You can watch his picture here.
So don’t forget to send us new stuff and may be you are the winner of the next record.

But now the details for the pre-order:

EF – I am responsible Double LP

The second album of EF, now on vinyl for the first time. Official release date: 9.2.2012
Once again totally remixed by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna) and once again the record includes a vinyl-only bonustrack: A remix by german artist Udo Rabenstein.
Limited edition of 600 in a silscreen-cover with inlet, extra insert and a download code.

Ahoi Ladies and Gentlemen,

some news for the winter from the Kapitän Platte Crew.

2. Releases 2012

Many things for the upcoming year are already fix. We will release EF’s “I am responsible” on February, the 9th.
The new album from INSTRUMENT will be out in May. We are also working on the second part of our split single series, with Bands covering each other, and if it works, it will be a blast and also planned for May.
And in September the new THE HIRSCH EFFEKT LP will see the light of day.

3. Kapitän Platte Festival

We thought, after two years being a label, it is time to celebrate us with a festival. So on September, 1st 2012 the first Kapitän Platte Festival will happen in the FORUM, Bielefeld, but that’s not all, one day before on August, 31st, we will make a little smaller Festival at BEI CHEZ HEINZ in Hanover.
Of course we will try to get all our bands to this events. THE HIRSCH EFFEKT already confirmed both dates.

4. Christmas Sale

Today we launch our Christmas Sale. This will run for the whole of December with some pretty crazy discounts on most of our releases.

We need to clear some space in the office for forthcoming releases so fill your Christmas sacks with the offers we have for you whilst we are in such a generous mood!

5. Merch

We thought, it is time for a bit of Merch.
So we have a very small quantity of Slipmats for sale in our Shop.
Only 10 were made (in words: TEN)
So hurry up, if you want one.

6. Distribution
And we increased our shop with great stuff from other labels like Frontal Noize, Dunk! and Morningrise Records. For example the fantastic LP of Dutch post-rockers Atlantis.
Take a listen here: http://atlantis.bandcamp.com/

So, that’s it.
Thanks for your support and your money, that helped us to release 11 records in the last 20 months.

We wish you all a merry christmas and a wonderful 2012.

All the best
Karl, Pietsch & Tännchen
