stillgestanden, der kaiser ist zurück! mit dem österreichischen trio tritt der neue rock-adel an, veraltete traditionen mit seinem royalen kick-ass-sound gründlich von der platte zu fegen und auf moderne, frische art zu präsentieren.
die stilistische abstammung von kaiser franz josef lässt sich in direkter blutlinie auf große formationen aus fünf jahrzehnten musikgeschichte zurückverfolgen: rock ›n‹ roll, heavy rock, doom, ein wenig stoner rock und natürlich grunge – namentlich bands wie black sabbath, queens of the stone age, the hellacopters oder soundgarden, deren einflüsse die Österreicher auf »make rock great again« zu ihrem kaiserlichen high-energy-mix verbinden. »wir geben den älteren fans, was sie von rockmusik erwarten und der jungen generation, was sie noch nicht kennt«, erklärt frontman sham.
kaiser franz josef lassen die amps glühen und haben auf »make rock great again« die rohe liveenergie ihrer schweißtreibenden shows eingefangen. handgemacht, schnörkellos und ohne umschweife mitten ins gesicht.

days of being wild continues their collaboration with berlin based french producer franz matthews, releasing his first solo ep, the spacey, cosmic ostkreuz. half of the duo languages, whose 1st ep the label released at the end of last year, franz matthews explores a very different sound on his first solo effort, all space disco, retro synths and funky guitars out. title track ostkreuz has been road tested by the days of being wild crew on dance floors all around europe all of last year and has created euphoria and anticipation in equal measure. this is a cosmic hit from outer space, all constructed around well known ingredients that thanks to franz matthews musical and melodic talent rise here to epic heights. the b-side guns of rixdorf is another devastating peak time tune. while remaining in the same vein as ostkreuz, it feels more high energy with its irresistible funky guitars calling and responding over a driving bass. days of being wild always try to pair producers with remixers that will shed a new light on their work. its no exception with ostkreuz, who gets the reinvention treatment from no other than moscoman and rodion aka the claydermans. the cosmic vibe is still here hovering on top in the opening chords of the remix, but soon enough a sub, housier bass makes its way in the mix and wont let you go until the end. carried by shuffling claps and a bouncier beat, the groove here is totally re-invented, taking ostkreuz from peak time to the darker edges of after land.

nice price deal !!! this limited edition 12 inch white label is the collaboration between metis and photogram, 2 london labels run by french expats jerome catalepsia bazzanella and francois franz kirmann. eclectic as hell could be his motto. supported by laurent garnier, craig richards (fabric), phil kieran (cocoon), ....

after der dritte raums album morgenland kicked up a lot of the same in 2013, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than four amazing producers of todays electronic music scene were allowed to have their way with these tracks, and the results are more than fitting. this 12inch features four powerful club tracks from four outstanding remixers: swayzak, cavaan, lars wickinger and franz noiser.

truckstop76th is an independent label born in the 2002 in rome, and more precisely in ostia, a neighbourhood of the suburbs that looks onto the sea. this label was born from the will of the duo seventysix (that is mr.3p e nrn) to create a platform to diffuse their own music and that of their crew. the roots of the label sink in the roman illegal rave scene. here they present two deadly acid/electro tracks from franz & shape and ice one. no messing around with this killer 12 inch

new big room acid bomb from f+s (are franz & shape ). featuring remixes from chicago acid house legend dj pierre and german dudes snuff crew (dont let the name fool you). acid saucers for everybody!

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

could spinner be days of being wild first ever french touch 12 inch? well not quite… although all producers involved here are french, this release rather shows how far away the french are from the famous touch that made them so popular more than 10 years ago!
support comes from matt walsh, rub n tug, danny tenaglia, deepchild, photonz, diskjokke, magda ...

loath recordings is the brand new sublabel for headmans relish label, showcasing more straigth up dancefloor releases. franz & shape hail from rimini, italy, and have made a name for themselves over the last 5 years as purveyors of quality, slamming electro music. remixes by joe and will ask?, mixhell, sex schön and gesaffelstein (goodlife).
