Harthouse

Profile:
Harthouse was founded in 1991 by Heinz Roth (and Matthias Hoffmann (Brainchild) & Sven Väth) in Frankfurt.
It was distributed via "WEA Music GmbH" and "Eye Q Musukproduktion GmbH".
In 1997 Sven Väth and Matthias Hoffmann left Harthouse and the label moved to Berlin. Some months later Harthouse had to declare insolvency.
In 1998 UCMG Germany bought the licences to some Harthouse releases and the rights for the use of the label's trademark. Oliver Bondzio of Hardfloor became the new A&R and the "Retrospective"-compilation along with some new releases were published.
After the bankrupcy of the UCMG Germany in 2003, Harthouse was discontinued for the second time.
In 2004 Daredo Music took over the rights of the Harthouse brand. The label is now called Harthouse Mannheim, but the old design is kept intact.

Review by alex_hexxen Jun 17, 2009
Good resume by the man like Frankie B. Don't forget that Harthouse were basically the platform for the very first forays into dance music by (now very well known artists, such as) Cari Lekebusch (as "Braincell", by the way if you haven't got "Man of Many Theories LP", I urge you to seek it out, a must for any techno collector) as well as the great Oliver Leib (as "Spicelab" and "The Ambush", apart from his early ZYX releases).

Unfortunately, the label tends to be overlooked these days with the advent of digitally-produced dance music and the (in my opinion, boring) in-vogue "minimal" sound that everyone's raving about these days...

A truly great label that trance, acid and techno heads alike will hold dear forever...
Review by djfrankiebones May 13, 2004
With the recent passing of Casper Pound, many will not know that from the single digit releases of Harthouse, Casper began a joint venture between Rising High & Harthouse, known as Harthouse U.K. The U.K. imprint was short-lived but was the sole factor of the later deal that became Harthouse U.S. through Moonshine. The actual German Harthouse label is responsible for jump-starting the trance genre and the formula of the big break-down, snare-roll effect found on 'Acperience' by Hardfloor. Hardfloor made the 303 sound become popular and also started an acid-house revival while Sven Vath became Germany's first high-profile DJ. At its high point Harthouse was an all around High-Profile label, releasing both techno, house & trance, sometimes fusing them together. Even when the label folded in the late nineties, Intergroove had a short run into the Millenium with good material, but by then the label's reputation had become history.
