Not many labels established in the 90s have managed to achieve a consistent advancement without straying from their roots. Even less labels have managed to create a true brand thanks to their very own aesthetic of sound and artwork that is loved and respected by DJs and producers around the globe.

Sender Records is one of these labels. Being brought on the air by Benno Blome in Cologne in 1999, it has 69 catalogue numbers so far – presenting old skool legends like A Guy Called Gerald or Baby Ford, rave-pros like Misc. and Jake Fairley or young talented artists like Bloody Mary and Andre Crom.
Thanks to hits like Bond & Blomes ‘Tentacular’, the past year has been a very good one for the Berlin-based imprint. There is always a place for Sender Records in the charts and cases of countless DJs, also hardly one issue of the Groove Magazine can make it without a Sender release in its Top 50 charts.
So it is time for a topical work feature around the label! Wearing the fitting title From Antenna to Antenna 1, it contains a 17-track-CD mixed and compiled by label-head Benno Blome with a best-of from recent releases that have been released previously only on vinyl and with four previously unreleased tracks.

The mix starts with elegant spheric sounds and deep grooves and slowly escalates with Miscs Tanz der Polymere in the Hemmann and Kaden Remix, before And Again aka Someone Else has his turn with his unmistakable beats, followed by the frisky sequences of Bond & Blomes Tentacular, fierce synth-excesses by Error Error, skew hooks on Corbera, the bass-orgy Boita Musiq and loads of more Sender-highlights. The end is built on the timeless layers of Baby Fords Messenger Vox and Radaar Menue by WeltZwei.

With From Antenna to Antenna 1 Benno Blome presents the status quo of the label and its full bandwidth in a narrative way.
