Bei Mobilee geht es traditionell familiär und freundschaftlich zu. Es gibt keinen großen Mentor, nachdem sich alle Künstler mehr oder weniger orientieren und folglich auch nicht den einen, klar definierten Mobilee-Sound. Das entspricht nicht dem Verständnis, aus dem Anja Schneider und Ralf Kollmann ihr Label entwickeln. Im Gegenteil, es wird Neulingen maximale Freiheit zugesprochen. So konnten sich hier über die Jahre virtuose House-Musiker wie Rodriguez Jr. Seite an Seite mit Technoacts wie Pan-Pot entwickeln. In diesem Geiste stehen auch die jährlichen Back-to-Back-Veröffentlichungen, die immer einen ausgewählten Künstler in den Fokus nehmen. Zur elften Ausgabe ist es Kevin Over, der mit seinem rauen Sound neue Akzente setzen wird. In den letzten zwei Jahren war der deutsche Jungspund bereits mit Releases auf Truesoul und Noir aufgefallen.

Anja Schneider’s protégé further cements his status as mobilee’s most exciting fresh talent with a blistering collection of unheard material, deftly showcasing the work of a young artist rapidly reaching critical mass. 

But even so, for Kevin Over to find himself behind the wheel of one of mobilee’s annual long-form releases, despite him barely being over a quarter of a century old, is quite something. But then again, Anja Schneider isn’t your usual A&R, and Kevin Over isn’t your usual ‘talent’ - as if his recent stellar run of EPs on Truesoul, Nofitstate, Avotre and of course mobilee in the last year alone, didn’t tell you already.

Part compilation, and part album, Over was keen to emphasize how this was his first musically extensive project which followed a defined musical structure, and was consistent in its vibe and mood from beginning to end; “I felt like I needed more of a defined direction at this point in my career, as many of my EPs had traversed a wide variety of styles. The whole process took around three months, drawing from my early influences in garage and Chicago house as well as older funk stuff. I definitely got lost down the Youtube rabbit hole whilst looking for things to sample! I’m also so proud of having some of my favorite artists such as Marquis Hawkes, Jacob Korn and Soulphiction on board for remixes as well.”

As is tradition with the ‘Back To Back’ series, the full package will also be accompanied by a ‘best of’ mobilee tracks from the previous year, with tracks from Audiofly, Ray Opkara, Rodriguez Jr. amongst many others, and of course Anja Schneider herself. Kevin’s series of original tracks and remixes will be available to buy as a 2 x 12” gatefold package. The mobilee back to back tour celebrates the sound of mobilee and Kevin Over´s very own musical touch. We are kicking off the year in style and bring the mobilee vibes to your favorite club!
