TuningSpork was founded by Jay Haze, Sean O'Neal, and Bjoern Hartmann in Philadelphia in 1999. The trio threw a series of parties with the aim of bringing in their favorite national and international DJs to the region. The brand soon developed into a record label, and the first three 12"s were split releases featuring one track from each producer (under their aliases The Architect, Someone Else, and B. respectively). The label soon carved its own trademark sound, often described as funky house with a sense of humor, avant-garde and tongue-in-cheek at the same time. As TuningSpork's profile grew to an international level, Jay Haze relocated the label headquarters to Berlin in 2003, sharing a studio space with Ricardo Villalobos. Talented producers from around the world, new and established, found a home for their productions: Dan Curtin, Michal Ho, Samim, and Guido Schneider are a few examples. Over the years, TuningSpork has been a dependable source of functional yet artful dance tracks for DJs around the world, supported to this day by some of the biggest names such as Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, and Laurent Garnier.

CURRENT RELEASES OUT NOW:
Bunkers
Holding Back EP - TS53
Signor Andreoni and Alessio Mereu team up yet again for another solid effort as Bunkers! Although they have just formed this year, this Italian superduo has already released three EPs, with their most recent finding itself at the 1 position on Richie Hawtin’s chart for September. The vinyl and download versions of the EP each come with their own exclusive fourth track.
D.I.Y.
House Tools Vol. 2 - TS52
Belgian producers Sierra Sam & Marcus Vector return to their house-oriented project D.I.Y. (Dumb Irresponsible Youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dOP, Big Bully and Markus Fix. Placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage! Supported by Adam Beyer, Steve Bug and Sebo K.
Anthea & Celler
Down with G.O.D. – TS51
Alex Celler has made quite a splash in 2009! Since his TuningSpork debut EP Trapped in Dub, he’s had a hit record “La Palma” for Arearemote, and consequently teamed up with fellow Londoner Anthea of Phonica Records. As Anthea & Celler
they released a pair of 12”s for Freak N Chic and Cécille, and now their third effort as a duo appears on TuningSpork.
Sierra Sam
The Swarm EP – TS50
Actively producing since the mid-90s, Sierra Sam is dropping his first solo EP of 2009. But don't let that fool you -- he's already had a busy year so far! He released an EP with Marcus Vector on their own label Toys For Boys, he co-produced the debut album from Bloody Mary on Contexterrior and he brought his live set to some of the world’s top clubs like Fabric and Watergate. Monika Kruse also invited him to remix one of her tracks, set for release this September on Terminal M.
Hugo
The Return of Stel and Atan - TS48
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues, cause Italy’s Hugo is back in action! Hugo’s upgraded version of "Stel and Atan" shows off his refined approach to what can only be described as Slapstick House – this is one looney tune that will leave the dancefloor swaying under the moonlight. Jay Haze’s remix retains the sense of humor, but brings things to a deeper level for a groove that will suck you in like a riveting episode of Lost. Or Murder She Wrote. Angela Lansbury was a fox!
Guido Schneider
Under Control EP - TS47
Guido Schneider returns to TuningSpork for some new concoctions of haunted house music, adding layers of spooky atmosphere over thumping beats to cast a spell on the dancefloor! "Under Control" finds him in collaboration mode with Jens Bond, while "Lay Lie Lay" features contributions from label boss Jay Haze.
Wasted Chicago Youth
Chase the Devil EP - TS44
The fourth EP from the Chicago duo, which finds Justin Long and Mazi Namvar fine-tuning their craft, zooming in on their city’s rich musical history, and adding their own personal details to the house tradition. “Mars or Bust” kicks things off with an onslaught of booms and snaps, effortlessly juxtaposing dirty beats with precise edits. On the flip, we have the fuzzy bounce of “Atomic Supermen”, followed by “Love thy Enemy” with its robust melodic interplay coming in and out of focus.

Die Presse ist sich einig, Marcel Knopf's Album Dusty Dance, welches am 19. Oktober released wird, ist der neue Stern am Himmel des Label Mo's Ferry. Von frickelig über deep dubbig bis hin zu rau groovig rollend, Marcel Knopf scheint den Nerv der Zeit getroffen zu haben - denn dieser Knopf passt nicht in jedes Loch, und schon gar nicht in das allverschlingende Loch des Mainstreams. So wirft er noch ein freches "Minimal is super, but maybe not sexy in the long run!" in den Raum, und macht sich mit funkig-housigen Technotunes auf den Weg zur Tanzfläche - begleitet von dem Geheimnis, ob er nicht doch einen Bruder namens Jim hat, der fanatisch auf einer Insel mit zwei Bergen die alte Emma zum Schwitzen bringt.
Musica Electronica will Euch mit diesem Geheimnis natürlich nicht im ungewissen lassen, und so präsentieren wir am 07. November zusammen mit Mo's Ferry die "Dusty Dance Album Tour". Doch damit nicht genug, Marcel Knopf wird begleitet von keinem geringeren als Dapayk - seines Zeichens Inhaber von Mo's Ferry - welcher im Douala seiner dunklen Seite als Marek Bois freien Lauf lassen wird. Eine technoide Seite, treibend düster, welche nur zu besonderen Anlässen aus ihrem finsteren Versteck kriecht, um den Technojüngern das Fürchten zu lehren. Dapayk produziert seit den frühen Neunzigern, damals noch als Frauds in White, und gründete 2001 bei der Suche nach einer Plattform für seine variationsreichen Produktionen das Label Mo's Ferry - welches sich bis heute immer wieder durch lebendige Releases den Weg in die Köpfe der Konsumenten bahnt.
