a legend to soul fans, his catalogue has been increasingly sought after by collectors and producers since the last time it was widely available nearly 20 years ago.
college friends and early collaborator with donny hathaway then hand-picked as curtis mayfield’s replacement in the impressions, his solo career resulted in 7 albums for mayfield’s curtom label. they are considered some of the greatest of the era and the very best music from them is collected here.
licensed from mr hutson himself, this represents his first approved anthology, and comes in a beautiful package with an essay by soul expert and mojo award winning writer tony rounce and memorabilia and photos from mr. hutson’s own personal archive.
the first single lifted to preview the album – the previously unreleased positive forces has been championed at 6 music by gilles peterson who described it as one of the most important discoveries of the past ten years.
das cover hält zwar nicht unbedingt, was sich der lüsterne betrachter spätestens beim blick auf titel wie »drink my honey«, »the wet dream« und »dirty willy« von der musik versprechen könnte, liefert aber einen überaus tanzbaren industrial-house-mix.
mit hilfe des gesampelten gitarrenbretts von niemand geringerem als luc van acker und dem groovigen zusammenspiel zwischen drumcomputern und synthie-themen ergibt sich letztendlich eine durchaus massenkompatible mischung, die mit ruths multifunktionalitäts-gesang geradezu garniert wird. zwischendurch lockert dann auch mal ein an nina hagens »african reggae« erinnerndes »marijuana in your brain« die szenerie auf, ehe es kurz darauf wieder mit härteren sequenzern und uptempo-breakbeats weitergeht.
ein album an der schwelle zwischen gut & böse oder aufregend & langweilig, allemal jedoch mit gutem unterhaltungswert. umso mehr noch bei dieser neuauflage mit bonustracks bestehend aus den b-seiten diverser singles, die damals von diesem album ausgekoppelt wurden.
daß die belgier humor und eine vorliebe für körperlichkeiten besitzen, weiß man spätestens seit ihrem 94er erfolgsalbum »voodoo-u«, welches dank des exquisiten artworks vor allem in den usa zunächst einige ernsthafte vertriebsprobleme sein eigen nannte.
»our little secret« dürfte es in dieser beziehung wohl etwas leichter haben, wenngleich sontitel wie »rubber doll«, »fingerlickin‹ good«, »pussy« oder »man s best friend« keinen hehl daraus machen, daß man die inhaltliche fixierung keineswegs geändert hat.
aber wozu auch?! passen das kreisen um sex, lust und obsessionen doch hervorragend zu ihrem brillanten gemisch aus industrial , techno, bigbeat und pop. sängerin jade 4u gibt die vokalsichere schlampe, während der rest der band spielsicher für zuweilen ironisierte härte sorgt.
alles, bloß keine langeweile verbreiten, scheint das motto gewesen zu sein. und so jagt ein grandioses musikstück das nächste, verwöhnt den hörer ein ums andere mal mit phantastischen refrains und bleibt dabei immer dicht am industrialisierten dancefloor.
schon die legendäre 1990er-maxi »i sit on acid« sparte nicht mit schweinereien, und auch die best of-compilations »private parts« und »greatest tits« gingen in diese ein- oder vielmehr zweideutige stoßrichtung.
Ähnlich auf die zwölf bumst das 4. reguläre lords of acid-album »farstucker« aus dem jahre 2000. mit »lover boy-lover girl« und »sex bomb« sind noch ein paar produktionstechnisch aufgebrezelte altlasten aus den neunzigern dabei, doch auch die zehn neuen stücke fahren mächtige breakbeats, brachiale gitarrenüberfälle und fleischfressende club-electronics auf. dazu nehmen engelen und sängerin jade 4u nebst weiterer gespielinnen den hörer in »slave to love« mit schmackes von hinten oder führen ihn bei »kiss eternal« mit krachledernen mitteln in die kusserotik ein – nicht nur auf dem dancefloor, versteht sich.

nice price deal !!! the metroklang project aims to introduce a wide-ranging musical concept, in which techno and house music are strikingly contaminated by different sounds. metroklang debuts on the international art scene with the ep >barduloso<, the first, decisive and winning stage of a sensory journey full of experiences and of original, eclectic, innovative and intense nuances.when listening to it, the sensation is to walk the streets of a big metropolis: among flashing lights, crowded streets, towering skyscrapers, a mixture of ethnic groups, cultures, habits and tastes, feeling on the skin the thrill of unexpected encounters and the emotion of being at the center of the world, in a unique and unrepeatable experience.
revivehers maiden musical voyage is steered by the transcendental music of debutant sultan shakes backed with an array of sub-lunar remixes. the title track is a crossover hit,that sees sultan shakes seductively documenting his escapades as a space-travelling lothario with a towering falsetto gliding over a deep percussive nebula jam on the title track, whilst ok showcases his balearic-infused wonky pop side. reviveher score the first rub n tug remix for 4 years, which flips ok into an acid-burbling, drum-machine workout, whilst young marco channels classic ibadan on his summer-primed remix of interstellar love. reviveher residents bi-bop and nick hadfield offer two alternate but club-focused remixes of interstellar love whilst herbert protege crewdson veers off in a more broken direction.
no longer one of denmarks best kept secrets, holtougs talent is firmly out of the bag as he touches down on hafendisko with the yearning ‘stay in love - a tune worthy of comparison in feel and tone to Âmes smash 2012 remix of ry & frank wiedemanns ‘howling. marrying the drive and energy of dance music to the singer-songwriting sensibility of his indie roots, its a delicious mélange, intense yet featherlight, booming yet ethereal: an intricate and playful soundworld characterised by breathy pads, deft percussive flourishes and a swooping, swooning bass that basks in all its glory on the accompanying instrumental version.

wenn es um erfolg geht, scheinen dem mann keine grenzen gesetzt: calvin harris, vom forbes-magazin jüngst zum bestbezahlten britischen musiker und dj nummer eins weltweit gekürt, schwimmt derzeit auf einer unglaublichen erfolgswelle: mit seiner jüngsten single *summer* gelang ihm nicht nur der sechste nummer-eins-hit in großbritannien, auch in deutschland erreichte er einen neuen karriere-peak. der song erreichte in den media control charts platz drei (bisherige bestmarke: platz 13) und den deutschen airplay-chart sensationell platz neun (!).
nachdem harris auf *summer* eindrucksvoll gezeigt hatte, dass er auch selbst als sänger seiner songs extrem erfolgreich sein kann, verpflichtete der 30-jährige mit shootingstar john newman (love me again) eine der beeindruckendsten stimmen im internationalen pop-business. mit *blame* küpfte harris nahtlos an diese erfolge an: in großbritannien schoss die single von null auf eins, in deutschland rangierte der song bereits nach zwei wochen in den top 5 der media control charts. beide singles finden sich auf dem vierten calvin harris-album *motion*.

the third release on the world unknown label is a very meaty affair that coincides with the second birthday of the club night in brixton. on side w timothy j. fairplay fuses ancient egypt with late 80s belgium and drops it slap bang into the near future with the monolithic techno beast that is >cleopatra loves the acid<. its already been played in discos and on the bbc by andrew weatherall, for whom tim handles engineering and co-production duties in his day job, and is set to become a pounding anthem on the more adventurous dancefloors over the coming months. side u is a more throbbing psychedelic affair. kalidasa is the production alter-ego of tim rivers who runs the always excellent theacidhouse.com website. it<s exactly the kind of heavyweight midtempo tune that causes sweaty pandemonium at world unknown. if the word balearic still meant now what it did to from 87-92 then thats precisely what youd call this, most likely with the prefix >heavy<. but it doesnt so you cant, or can you?
