We need your help. Please take a moment to read the below.

Ransom Note is a small, independent publication run by a team of five. We have been in operation for ten years and cannot recall a time as turbulent for the music community in all respects. As the world begins to reopen there is positivity and progress in sight for some. However, for others, like ourselves, that isn’t quite the case as of yet.

We operate independently, based on good will and with our own money. Ransom Note’s only significant and primary source of income otherwise comes from from festival and event partnerships. As such we have incurred significant losses and sadly now have some serious concerns about our stability and future as a publication.

We’ve always done our best to humbly represent our culture, focussing on uplifting those around us and working together to make things better. We strive to make music honest and representative of the hard working people who listen to us and read our publication.

We hope that you have found value in this and that we can continue to do so in the future.

If you believe in what we do, like the music and culture we represent and support, please consider subscribing to our Patreon campaign.

Thank you & love, it means a lot!

WELCOME TO THE ALL NEW R$N!

Renate Welcomes Marlon Hoffstadt, Working Women, Baltra And More For Savour The Moment Part Four

The DJ and producer's Savour The Moment parties encourage dancers to ditch their inhibitions and forget the outside world.

Renate Welcomes Marlon Hoffstadt, Working Women, Baltra And More For Savour The Moment Part Four

The DJ and producer's Savour The Moment parties encourage dancers to ditch their inhibitions and forget the outside world.

Ransom Note Records' own Marlon Hoffstadt is to invite Esa, Baltra, Working Women, Qnete and more to play alongside him at Berlin's Renate on Friday August 17th, for the fourth edition of his Savour The Moment parties. Savour The Moment, as the name suggests, encourages attendees to try to forget the trappings of the outside world and, for one night, live entirely in the moment, as is increasingly difficult in the modern day. They say the following:

"Far too often the average clubber is more occupied with his phone than with the real-time experience unfolding before him, missing wonderful moments of a club night. 'Savour the Moment' is a safe-space for people who do not shazam, or want to share an Instagram story, or don’t even know they can live without it. Switch your phone into flightmode, come by and dance with us."

View the full lineup below:

Esa (Dekmantel, Ata Kak)
Baltra (Lost Palms, New York)
Working Women (The Lot Radio, New York)
(DJ Voices, DJ Nina, DJ Ashlyn, DJ Nicely)
Marlon Hoffstadt (Savour The Moment, Midnight Themes)
Breakwave (Meine Nacht, Deep Sea Frequency)
Qnete (777 Recordings, Lobster Theremin)
BOBBIE* (Pal, Hamburg)
DJ Clea (Red Bull Radio, Stockholm)
Cedric Maison (Hypercolour, Berlin)
Philipp Schultheis (Savour The Moment, Berlin)

Susannah Stark to release debut album on STROOM

Much of the music on the release is inspired by personal experience and self reflection, the music acting as an outlet for lived emotions and a recognition of spiritual awareness. 

Andrew Ashong & Kaidi Tatham collaborate on new release

"Washed In You" is the first glimpse into the direction of the new project which pairs broken beat with soulful, carefully orchestrated instrumentation and vocals. 

IXXF collaborates with Catnapp on video ahead of debut album

A suitably glitchy, oddball pop affair in which the music draws upon elements of trap, idm and beyond. All paired with playful, bubblegum esque lyrics.
