next michel cleis masterpiece , this time on dj kozes pampa records... >mir a nero< begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio - like if philip glass make dance music - but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. by the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the tracks overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. simply put, this is latin house with that anomalous pampa records swagger, drenched with flavor like sangria-soaked mango. flip that baby over and you get >amaranthus<, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. this piece stands as a color-negative of >mir a nero<, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, >amaranthus< is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the a-side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

goose hat sie schon immer gehabt, diese laute dance-music-with-rock-attitude, schon auf ihrem 2006er debütalbum bring it on. ihre bellenden synths, schreienden vocals und wuchtigen energie-levels sind längst zum festen bestandteil der justice/ed banger-szene geworden. auf >synrise< macht die band einen ausflug in die 70er- und 80er-jahre, in die zeiten von space disco wie automat und 80er-filmsoundtracks, mit musikalischen koordinaten wie philip glass, giorgio moroder und vangelis. das resultat ist mehr als nur die summer dieser teile: es ist ein album voller dance-tunes mit klaren pop-strukturen. das beginnt schon mit dem titeltrack >synrise<, einem jetstreaming-soundscape von moroder-artigen synth-arpeggios, die sich hochschrauben zu einem gastauftritt von peaches. >words< dagegen könnte problemlos als vintage chemical brothers track durchgehen, während die sich verlierenden sphären von in cars den einfluss von trance mit klaxons-style-vocals kombinieren.

claude debussy (+1918) was one of the most popular and forward thinking composer associated with impressionist music. his innovative and at this time new way to compose music with non traditional scales and chromaticism inspired countless artists from the likes of steve reich, philip glass, miles davis and herbie hancock. remarkable attributes of his music were i.e. the usage of parallel chords, bitonality and many compositions of whole-tone and pentatonic scales and all this surely reminds us on contemporary electronic music where you hardly find limits or boundaries when it comes to traditional, harmonic sounding scale tone music. after studying countless composers of the last centuries marc romboy decided to accept the challenge to edit, remix and reconstruct several works of his favorite french composer, ranging from ãla merÒ to -pr�lude � l apr�s-midi d un fauneÒ. romboy: ãone sentence of debussy impressed me a lot when he said that he simply intents to write new sounding music. this is and has been exactly my goal, to create kind of unheard soundsÒ. on the album romboy performs together with the dortmund philharmonic orchestra, the renowned conductor ingo-martin stadtm�ller, the well respected d�sseldorf based concert master miki kekenj and sound programmer ali khalaj. the recordings was directed december 12th 2016. its the first live recording ever released on an album where electronic sounds and classical components were merged in such manner.
