La Ideal Audio è una label nata nel 2008 dalla mente di Oliver Huntemann e Jan Langer nel periodo di maggior successo proprio di Oliver Huntemann che all’epoca usciva su International Deejay Gigolo e Confused giusto per citarne un paio, e ovviamente suonava nei principali club e festival europei.
Per cercare di descrivere il concept musicale di questa label potremmo dire oscura, potente ed ipnotica.
Oliver Huntemann, André Winter, Extrawelt, Andreas Henneberg, The Glitz, Sebrok, Tassilo di Pan-Pot, Remain sono gli artisti di punta.
Proprio in questo periodo ricorre l’anniverario della label che infatti compie cosi’ 5 anni e per l’occasione esce una compilation celebrativa di vari artisti con tutte tracce esclusive dal sapore techno elettronico.

It is now five proud years since Oliver Huntemann, together with his long-term business partner Jan Langer, founded Ideal Audio. To celebrate the occasion, the label is heading out on a worldwide tour from September on, and is releasing a double CD compilation of brand-new exclusive material alongside the most memorable classics from the label’s roster. Since 2008 and release 001 from Oliver Huntemann & Dubfire, the label has grown into one of the foremost techno outlets in the world, with a wide and deep fan base in many countries across Europe. Ideal Audio has also spawned countless label parties, fruitful collaborations and many EP, LP and mix compilation releases from plenty of exciting talents. “Here we are, five years richer in experience and still as loud as ever- says Oliver on the anniversary. “Some new and promising acts in the form of dubspeeka from Bristol, Remain & Electric Rescue from Paris, and Soel & Jonni Darkko from Rome have recently joined the ranks, breathing new life into Ideal. For me personally, it is still a great pleasure to work on and with electronic music and the crazy party circus every day. I look forward to the next five years!- The worldwide 5unf Tour, running from September 2013 until March 2014, features key label associates Oliver Huntemann, Andre Winter, dubspeeka, Joran Van Pol, Remain & Electric Rescue, Andreas Henneberg, The Glitz and more, details will be announced in the coming days. And so to the 5unf compilation: Across two discs and 25 tracks it showcases the Ideal Audio style, which in the past has been described as “dark, hypnotic and powerful…” The compilation spans the last five years 2 with new and exclusive cuts on disc 1, and classics on disc 2 – and proves that Oliver and Jan have done a great job evolving the label whilst always staying true to their roots in exciting techno. A fine retrospective at the same time as being focussed on the next five years, the 5unf Tour and Compilation prove Ideal Audio to be one of the most assured labels of our time.
