Remute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Denis Karimani (born 1983 in Belgrad),[1] using the stage name Remute, is a techno musician and DJ from Hamburg, Germany.[2] He started his eponymous record label in 2008.[3]

His self titled debut album Remute was released by Hamburg record label Ladomat 2000 in 2006 followed by further releases on record labels like Tresor, remixes for artists like GusGus,[4] and live performances in clubs like Berghain.[5] Remute is especially known for releasing his music on uncommon formats. His album Limited was released in 2017 on a 7-inch vinyl and 3+12 inch floppy disk. This album received a huge media response and put the floppy disk back on the map as a format for music.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Remute's album Technoptimistic, released in 2019, is the first ever techno music album that got released on a Sega-Mega-Drive cartridge.[13]

In March 2020 Remute released the first music album on a Super NES cartridge - The Cult Of Remute.[14][15]

In February 2021, Remute joined the vintage magazine Scene World Magazine as a PR assistant, in order to focus on their social media presence and public awareness.[16]

In March 2021 Remute released, Electronic Lifestyle, the first music album on a HuCard for the PC-Engine and TurboGrafx16 gameconsoles[17] shortly followed by Living Electronics in September 2021, an album for the Game Boy.[18]

During an interview with RetroRGB on 27 December 2021 Remute announced the first music album on a Nintendo 64 cartridge called R64 and scheduled for a release in March 2022.[19][20] In January 2022 Remute confirmed shipments will begin March 25, 2022. Alongside that confirmation was the announcement of a Plus Edition of R64 that will include "a 7" vinyl with hi-res versions of several songs from the album."[21]
