as the lead singer of george darko s legendary burger-highlife hit-band, lee dodou became the number one voice of 80 s highlife. born in kumasi, the epicenter of ghanaian highlife, he came to berlin in the late 70 s - by then the uprising epicenter of burger-highlife - to work as a back-up-singer for pat thomas. after joining and leaving georg darko and running his own band -kantata-, he stopped releasing music in the early 90 s. now, philophon is proud to present new recordings of his soulful genius to the world of 2018. basa basa is a song in the classic -concert party- style, as it was played in the glorious 60 s. after a firey horn introduction lee takes over in that funny and entertaining manner typical for -concert party- music. buzz duncker joins lee s phrases with some gentle clarinet. highlife at its best! sahara akwantuo is anything but a classic: it s the start of a kind of philophonic highlife, labeled as kraut-life. ghanaian love of life meets german romantic melancholy. happy rhythms meet mysterious synth landscapes. eternal summertime and mangos are meeting a wet winter world and roast apples. kraut-life at its best!

electric love is the lead track from the new freshly squeezed compilation eclectrik and the first single to be taken from the forthcoming new album by londons multi instrumental, theremin teaser, dodo. the a side of the single is a left field electro pop gem featuring hooky vocals and a retro vibe described by properlychilled.com as amazing a minimal 80s aesthetic in an old school human league style with vocals that just make this track soar in an altogether disarmingly alluring way. meanwhile the b side weights in with a tripped out dubby instrumental imagine john barrys persuaders remixed by king tubby!

after a triplet of solo 12inches, all courtesy of label main man rupert marnie, hamburg-based imprint the press group are set to break 2018 in with the multi-flavoured tpg004 - a versatile debut va that offers a fine close up on the labels whole cast of operating forces with some choice contributions from tpgs core tetrad including youthman(29), ten letu, dj dodo and marnie himself. mind your backs! shape-shifting yet coherent as a whole, this collective effort puts together a swinging confluence of sounds and aesthetics clearly aimed at the dancefloor but equally poised for laid-back chill sessions. first release on the label to reunite the entire crew, tpg004 mashes up a wide-spanning array of grooves and tempi in exploded view, giving full vent to each artists idiosyncratic universe whilst establishing a hyper-modern sound id, both infectiously funky and undeniably potent. casting its net far and wide: from the pared-down astronautical breakbeat of youthmans ‘aemilia to dj dodos breezy jacking jazz-footwork hybrid ‘the machine via rupert marnies lithe ganjah-smelling shuffler ‘health and ten letus muscle-flexing acid roller ‘ah, you shot me!, its a feast of feelgood beats that youre invited to, neatly connecting the dots between the guys shared love for video game soundtracks, liquid dubstep, heavy jungle breaks, minimal house and further daydreaming, hazy harmonics to drape yourself into. vital sales points: first 12? from the press groups whole cast of members including a locked groove on the b-side.

some crate-digging compilations are often the result of someone hand-picking their choice favourites from another country’s musical history, perhaps unaware or uninvolved with its cultural lineage in the process. on this release - a treasure trove of synth jams, pop, samba boogie, balearic and electro from 1980 & ‘90s brazil - the tracks are picked by millos kaiser, one half of the brazilian duo selvagem, who are at the helm of throwing some of the country’s best dance parties. it’s a rare compilation that offers brazilian music actually picked by a brazilian.
this collection of sixteen tracks doesn’t comprise tracks scoured from deeply in-demand records, the rare sort that sell for eye-watering sums and that collectors spend years tracking down. they are the sort you’d find for a few quid should you come across but, as kaiser says, “the problem is finding them. they aren’t rare because everyone wants a copy but because no one wants them, not even the dealers.”

begnadetes debŸtalbum des berliner duos africaine 808 auf dem new yorker kultlabel golf channel. seit ihrer begegnung auf der berliner fuckparade im jahr 2000 entwickelten dirk leyer (closer musik) und dj nomad einen einzigartigen style aus afrikanischen bŠssen und rhythmen, disco, funk und house, den sie auf basar jetzt perfektionieren. ihr deepes und zeitloses debŸtwerk klingt wie der musikalische ausdruck von freiheit und des arthur russell-zitats i wanna see all my friends at once.

mit candie hank produzierten sie so etwas wie desert-polka, hymnischen hip hop hingegen mit modeselektor und den puppetmastaz. wir hšren mitrei§enden neo postrock in kooperation mit tortoise oder laetitia sadier, radiotaugliches songwriting mit eric d. clark, gebrochenen funk in kooperation mit den eigens wiedervereinigten funkstšrung und einen astreinen r&b-ohrwurm mit den junior boys. so ist 21 again eine ode an die freude und freunde der band und gleichzeitig ein manifest des stŠndigen dialogs, eine feier der vielschichtigkeit.
