Karat records Karat records
The Karat label was originally founded by Laetitia Cremadeills and Alex Roger as an extension to their recordstore Katapult, but soon grew to become one of the most influential labels pioneering the crunchy French take on minimal techno house, with artists like Ark, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Chloé, or Skat contributing releases to its ever-growing catalogue.

Stemming from an exceptional evening in Paris in October 2010, Karat Records release this top compilation with mostly exclusive tracks. Includes fresh twisted house from Portable, Trus'Me and Dolibox, Skudge and Dandy Jack on a darker dub techno tip and a surprise hip-hop fusion jam from Isolée. Swell.

Two years after his last EP for the label, Alan Abrahams returns to Karat with 'Let's Go'. Clocking in at over 11 minutes 'Inside Your Mind' starts out as minimalistic chord-based track before evolving into a vocal-heavy techno anthem. Backed by the equally epic 'The Ghetto Escapes' this is yet another brilliant Portable outing. Killer.
