les adventures de president bongo is a unique work that will reveal itself over the next seven years. give or take. in the form of 24 lp s. what is a groove? it is something that goes on and on. not changing much seemingly. like the growth rings exposed when you cut and fell a tree. it is no coincidence that tree rings resemble the spiral track of a record: they re both grooves of a sort.

a groove is a routine. a life lived. it may not always seem like much – a cup of bitter coffee. another day spent under the flickering fluorescent lights of an office. an overly long queue at the check-out of a suffocating supermarket. but it is also the scent of slightly burnt meat and birch by a gently flowing stream under a pink sunset. a silver fog clearing without notice to expose a starry sky and its familiar twinkling constellations. an impenetrable smile on a crowded morning train. it is the pattern exposed on the tree stump. a proper groove has ups and downs. it has drama. a good groove is a good story. a transmission into the future.

moby has released a new single and video for “like a motherless child.” from his forthcoming album everything was beautiful. and nothing hurt. featuring la-based soulstress raquel rodriguez. “like a motherless child” is a re-work of the well-known spiritual. with its origins in the slavery of the american south. the track describes the void left when one feels separated from a parent. higher power or similar guiding force. over the years this powerful song has been reinterpreted by the likes of odetta. lena horne. mahalia jackson and van morrison. the album is a glowing tapestry exploring spirituality. individuality and the brokenness of humanity and finds him returning to his orchestral. soul. trip-hop and gospel roots.

this record. and the full 2xlp that will follow it. are dedicated to and inspired by events in 2015 & 2016. which saw the spectre of global crisis come knocking at europes doorstep. during this time. more than a million migrants and refugees fled their homes in the middle east. northern africa. sub-saharan africa and other conflict ravaged areas in search of a better life. for many. hopes of a future for themselves and their families lay in continental europe. while the reasons for such displacement. on a scale unseen in almost a century. are many. so are the reasons for europe being seen as the ideal destination. the relative peace and calm of the continent and the prospect of building prosperous lives in western europe was enough to mobilize multitudes to embark on the treacherous journey to europe. one of the most well-trodden paths on this journey was the balkan route. a trail leading through turkey. greece. and the former yugoslavia. this route was not without its dangers. and the dreams of many were dashed by impassible security fences and discordant eu politics. as one by one they were turned away at borders. or worse. forcibly returned to their countries of origin.

europa is the first single that represents the seed of discontent. from which the 2xlp grew. it was recorded during long jam sessions in belgrade as the media spotlight started to dim. the city became the purgatorial destination for a large number of migrants. whose journeys had been cut short and this record reflects the atmosphere of disillusionment and uncertainty about the future. which descended on the serbian capital.

lange hat uns der wiener elektronikmusiker klaus waldeck – zuletzt bekannt durch sein legendäres album »ballroom stories« (2007) – warten lassen. die vorfreude ist groß und waldeck hat auch gleich eine Überraschung für uns parat: sämtliche titel wurden auf italienisch eingesungen - und zwar von der fantastischen neuentdeckung. der wiener sängerin heidi moussa-benammar (»la heidi«).
waldeck selbst möchte gran paradiso als eine »spaghetti & western« produktion bezeichnet wissen: »gran paradiso. das ist einerseits hommage an den legendären sound des italo-westerns – andererseits spürt es auch den sentimentalen klängen des italienischen canzone nach - jedoch stets mit der nötigen ironischen distanz.« »italienisch... schon die sprache klingt nach musik«
der sound des albums trägt waldecks unverkennbare handschrift. gelegentliche einsprengsel von tango. dub und reggae runden dieses abwechslungsreiche sommeralbum ab.
alles in allem: ein entspanntes sommerliches album. das man auch gerne im herbst und winter hört. um sich daran zu erwärmen.

musically and emotionally. superpitcher’s third full-length studio album. the golden ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill. feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years. musically. and forty-plus-years. emotionally. and full-length it is: the golden ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in january 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period.

side a features tuesday paris texas a tastefully arranged track with vintage sounds passing nonchalantly through a wild western aural landscape. the music is announced like a cowboy movie dual complete with bar doors swinging on rusty nails in slow motion. mournful guitar strings swirl over a steady horseback galloping beat. expanding into a full-on-fire dance track. halfway through a woman’s haunted voice appears and disappears like an eerie siren. a gunshot is fired (was that a gunshot?). a man whispers “what!?” tuesday paris texas is in no hurry to give an answer.

side b features mirage a desert sound collage glued to a steady pulse that rolls and rolls. circumventing any destination. mirage is a contour map of no surprising peaks just undulating valleys of wistful cathodic sound creeks. sometimes veering off to plains in full view of the moon. in earshot of solitary wolf cries. like tuesday paris texas. mirage is testament of superpitcher’s versatile prospecting beyond the elemental sound tools of the electronic music trade.

the message at the depth is underground rap for the digital age. far removed from the moldy crates and dusty beats of krushs mo wax classic strictly turntablized. his beats are digital. heavily resampled and quantized. splintering off like drum n bass patterns but possessing a depth and clarity not seen since the heyday of massive attack.

nouveaunoise is the name given to the audio collages created mostly by two people in the rural west of ireland. niall conway and conor gaffney. what you are supposed to think: veteran crate diggers. rare records so untouched and ripe for sampling that they drip essential mix. moments of melodies spliced and sampled meticulously tiered with break-beating grooves. alchemists of eclectic musical source and sampling technique. the reality: reels and reels of recorded experiments on dysfunctional equipment. instruments created. copied and acquired from distant travels. a healthy fascination with boards of canada and my bloody valentine. a cultural background just far away from the hive as to offer the whole project space to breathe it s own breath

hailing from within the heat of florida. brandon* is a gifted producer whose musical style is an eclectic blend of hip hop. jazz. lounge. and latin flavors. tough beats move alongside swirling strings. soundtrack-ish atmospheres. and nostalgic orchestral arrangements. all seemingly lifted from obscure vinyl thrift store finds in the sunny retirement capitol. it’s a refreshingly perfect mix of elements. resulting in ‘beats music’ that is amorous and enchanting. this is even more apparent on brandon*’s latest long-player on the cold busted imprint. titled dreamscape: part 4*. the producer’s other dreamscape releases explored his distinct sound. and this latest brings brandon*’s m.o. to further maturity and acclaim. from the bombastic bossa of “cabana chat” to “oasis”’s gentle acoustic guitars to the tropical jazz vibe of “rio dio”. dreamscape: part 4* will delight and captivate. and nicely compliments an exotic cocktail.

es ist erst ein jahr her. dass skläsh die runde machte: das debut-album des münchener klangsurfers wurde in trendmagazinen all over the place als elektrisierende glücksspirale gefeiert. als entdeckung einer unbekannten umlaufgeschwindigkeit. einer neuen wahrnehmungsebene von zeit. skläsh war (und ist) eine global denkende musik- und zeitmaschine. angetrieben von einer erfrischend renitenten slackerigkeit.
der globus aber hat seitdem einige kratzer dazubekommen. scheint binnen diesem einen jahr um ein vielfaches gealtert zu sein. während leroy zu winterspielen in wien oder sommerfestivals im u.k. eingeladen wurde. gab es ein amokmünchen. ein putschstambul. einen brexit und einen freitag. den 13ten ba-ta-clan. kam unter viel dampf und druck eine auf rechts gerührte stimmungssuppe von zweifellos giftiger konsistenz zum brodeln. bambadea! so ist das neue album in einem spannungsfeld zwischen persönlicher euphorie und europäischem weltschmerz groß geworden.
