a true holy grail from the cloud one catalog, dont let my rainbow pass me by is the third of a string of titles on golden flamingo produced by the p&p duo of patrick adams and peter brown and featuring vocals from guardian angel singer margot williams. similar to previous cloud ones productions, this record had all the elements of a patrick adams classic, but with vocal arrangements that foreshadowed the work he would do with inner life and jocelyn brown at salsoul. perhaps not so much of a concidence then that margot williams would provide backing vocals on inner lifes second and final album. even though it was originally released in 1981, dont let my rainbow pass me by is still championed by high-profile deejays today. over the years, its been notably sampled in basement jaxxs romeo and covered by todd terje and prins thomas in reinbagan as a dub-disco cut. available for the first time since its original release, our only piece of advise is to don’t let this classic pass you by.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

mit der neupressung von -loop-finding-jazz-records- als doppel-lp (inlusive downloadcode) ist 16 jahre nach der erstveröffentlichung ein meilenstein deutscher minimalelektronik wieder verfügbar. das stilprägende album erschien 2001 auf dem wunderbaren berliner label scape, wo es zwischen den knister-, hall- und frickel-klängen eines pole, kit claytons und burnt friedmans hineinpasste, wie die faust aufs auge. mit jazz hatte das ganze natürlich nichts am hut, vielmehr mit clicks & cuts und glitschenden microsounds, die seinerzeit hoch im kurs standen. das szenemagazin -groove- nahm -loop-finding-jazz-records- 2013 in die liste der besten 50 elektronischen alben auf. kollege tobias thomas von kompakt schrieb in seiner laudatio: -seine clicks und cuts waren wie funkelnde fragmente, die man aus einem großen diamanten herausgelöst hatte. umhüllt von digitalem sternenstaub, dabei nie kalt, sondern geschmeidig und feinstofflich dahingroovend, bewegten sich seine tracks wie ein amalgam von ambient, freier elektronika und sehr tiefer, sehr reduzierter house music.- die neuauflage von -loop-finding-jazz-records- enthält die beiden bonustracks -moiré (guitar & horns)- und -poren-, die ursprünglich b-seiten-stücke der 2000 ebenfalls bei scape erschienen -tendency ep- waren

with their first two daptone albums – get an understanding, and as featured singers on como now – the como mamas established themselves as three of the strongest voices in gospel music today.
in december of 2015, they cemented that reputation by taking their first trip from their home in como, ms up to harlem, ny to crush the apollo theater as part of the daptone super soul revue. taking full advantage of their presence in town, the daptone crew brought ester mae wilbourn, della daniels, and angelia taylor into the house of soul the week after the show to join forces for the first time with the musicians and studio that has defined their label’s sound. jimmy hill, thomas brenneck, homer steinweiss, and bosco mann, all stalwarts of the daptone stable, came together as “the glorifiers band,” to put down a churning musical foundation for these amazing singers. the results are some of the heaviest tracks that daptone has cut to date. if you don’t like raw, soulful gospel music, you’re really gonna hate this one. move upstairs is a real mother!

”love will remember pharaon de winter” is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it’s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don’t forget the goldsmith’s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who’s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.
