incl remixes by marek hemmann and till von sein !! dirt crew, martin eyerer.. right at the point where everyone stopped believing that the label owners themselves would do a release on baalsaal,it comes flying right around the corner! finally at catalogue number 009 chopstick & johnjon decide to put their best horse into the race and team up with no other than fritz kalkbrenner - the voice behind the early summer anthem >sky and sand< with his brother paul kalkbrenner. the beat of the original mix bounces from the first minute on, supporting the chords and the bassline while they work their changes. at the point when fritz starts the first verse you get this feeling... this is gonna be special - and indeed it will be... the catchy chorus and the beauty of everything surrounding it makes you wanna sing along, dance and dream away the night... and we didn t get to the break and the strings yet ... yes, there will be strings. so get ready and breathe in 11 minutes of deep feelings and emotions! on b1 is a remix by marek hemmann, who had great impact with his productions and remixes on labels such as freude am tanzen, raum musik and resopal. you can see how much fun he had working with these vocals!..

booka shade are set to release crossing borders featuring fritz kalkbrenner from their 2013 album eve on embassy one / blaufield music. booka shade first met fritz when he asked them to remix one of his songs, as we are fans of his voice, we thought it would be a great idea if he would sing a vocal for one of our demos for the new album. he came to our studio with the lyrics of crossing borders and within 1 hour, the song was recorded. crossing borders is enriched with acoustic and chilling electronic tones and demonstrates the trials and tribulations of the every day struggle weve got to go on, even if we stray, crossing borders to another side
