this year he releases two songs as a 7 inch vinyl and in digital format on hoga nord rekords. the a-side. “viaje a tenderloin” sounds like the inside of an east german military liaison in 1975 where the tabulating machines haven’t had service since the raise of the berlin wall. on the b-side “hitodoma”. guest vocalist jessica ho plays with her voice in a bubbly way above golden bugs characteristic metallic. world music influenced sounds and beats. the music would fit perfectly in a vast alien mountain landscape.

“in the meantime” is the result of the partnership between giorgio gigli and bichord. after the release of his album “the right place where not to be” in 2015. the roman producer finds a magical conjunction with the duo bichord that leads to six wonderful tracks riding through a long ambient-techno hallway.

prologue: wearied by our endless travelling under a burning sun. we stopped by the margins of a tiny stream. embraced by a timid vegetation. the scorching heat made our throat parched and weak: yearning to quench our thirst. we immersed ourselves into the waters without any hesitation. drowning our dryness and our exhausted limbs.

when i first stumbled across mix tapes out of hamburgs seminal front club (with klaus stockhausen and boris dlugosch at the helm) during the glorious and carefree early days of the popularized internet. there were certain tracks on them that struck a chord. in fact there was one specifically. i couldnt stop listening to. the mixture of an infectious bass line. a super sharp snare. music and harmony vocal snippets. happy claps and synths lines that evoked pictures of a convertible going down a coastline. and - to top it all off - a tribal chant. was irresistible. after some intensive track-id-hunting pre-shazam. i found out that the heaven-sent hymn was music by an act called syncbeat. originally released in 1984 during the craze that was called uk electro via street sounds resp. streetwave and later licensed to german omnivore zyx records. a joint venture between the electro-funk mastermind.dj pioneer and edit maestro greg wilson as well as manchester musicians martin jackson & andy connell. it is exactly that type of dance track that eludes any classification - as you can see from my description above. or to cite greg wilson himself from one of his essays on the subject of uk electro: the track that received the best response was music by syncbeat. which was full of good vibes and could have easily been re-vamped down the line as a house track.

4th tilly jam with four deep disco / house slammer
folks. here is tilly jam number four. served by till von sein with a striking can’t stop. won’t stop attitude. as if the first three fourtrackers were just heating things up. he’s firing out another ensemble of four to bring serious exercise to the floor. “say say say”. the opening title track of this ep checks many trademarks its originator is known and praised for. an explicitly soulful affair. even flexing some g-funk muscles here and there. crackling vinyl noise in the background. warm and thick bass footing. a bassline doing the filterhouse-routine and a sample heavy arrangement that even gets a boost-up after half of its running time. then there is “shadrach”. go do some exegesis if interested where that name stems from. we can assure you. this jazz-infused build-up including nervous hi-hat patterns. a boldly bass groove. a frenzy drum-solo. inciting chants and a horn section scaling things up. stems directly from peaktime heaven. and on b1. “impala” is taking up the thread of this rather outgoing vibe. tvs is going for with this set of tunes. find an energetic beat providing the ground work for filtered adlibs that kinda nail what comes to mind when this track gets mixed in. “whoo-hoo-hoo” – that’s right. just add some subtle percussive lining and let a saxophone take over and you’ll have another trigger for floor-ecstasy at hand. cooling things off a little bit it’s “baden powell dr” as closing cut. tilly is winding up the melancholy-meter on this one. reversing elements and by adding pianochords and synth-pads. infusing an overall mood of wind-whistling summertime-sadness
slamming deep house with funky & disco moments
