an unswervingly honest, highly personal album, darker than blue instills blue daisys personal experiences into a cinematic meditation on the clash between the forces of dark and light, yin and yang, good and evil. wrestling with inner and outer demons, blue daisy leads us on an intense downward spiral of a journey fueled by uncomfortable truths, sleepless nights, love, loss, religion, faith and doubt. unconfined to one specific genre, the record traverses brooding rock, intense rap, elements of the blues, and is imbued with a punk attitude and aesthetic throughout.

veedel kaztro hängt immer noch am büdchen ab. doch mit büdchentapes- und lps ist bei kölns bestem rapper grade pause. stattdessen veröffentlich er zusammen mit seinem partner mels das album *fenster zur strasse*, eine platte, die anders ist als die meisten seiner bisherigen veröffentlichungen. selten war sein slacker rap so unironisch, so persönlich und so so explizit politisch wie auf *fenster zur strasse*. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.
michigan native dj soko is part of a long line of great technical djs, musical innovators, curators and those who broke key artists and introduced acts that forever changed the landscape of the music scene. sokos ear and ability to put emcees in position for them to shine over the perfect production is never more evident than it is on his debut project released on his imprint left of center. dj soko uses his years coming up in the detroit scene, his experiences djing in his current home (the planet of brooklyn, ny) then blends both of those worlds together seamlessly. the end result is a gritty, boom bap rap album that is equally as soulful and introspective as it is rooted in a blue collar lyrical hip-hop aesthetic. *domino effect* is ultimately brought together by sokos deft cuts and scratches which elevate each composition and make them resonate with listeners even further.

divine machte sich in den späten siebziger jahren zunächst einen namen als skuriller schauerspieler in john waters filmen (u.a. hairspray, pink flamingos), bevor der travestie-künstler dann in den frühen 80er jahren von erfolgsproduzent bobby orlando (u.a. pet shop boys, the flirts) auch für plattenveröffentlichungen produziert wurde, die den typischen bobby-o disco-sound hatten. innerhalb von knappen 3 jahren landete divine dann auch einen großen hit nach dem anderen, bis er schliesslich 1988 auf tragische weise ums leben kam. doch seine songs sind bis heute unvergessen geblieben.

in einer zeit, in der egozentrische schauspieler ihre talentfreiheit im game propagieren, hat sich mistahnice dagegen entschieden das typische debüt-album zu produzieren und tritt stattdessen alleine ins rampenlicht. er kehrt zurück zu seinen ruhrpottwurzeln, wo rap noch immer die gesellschaft reflektiert. er hat ein album kreiert, das sich durch teamgeist auszeichnet. der coach carter des rap hat nur die besten spieler berufen, die in dieser konstellation noch nie zusammen auf dem platz standen, aber trotzdem in der lage sind jedem gegner das fürchten zu lehren. der unbändige siegeswille wurde jedem spieler eingeimpft. inspiriert durch das live zusammenspiel mit witten untouchable, möchte mistahnice die ohren des zuhörers zu einem basketballcourt machen, um ihm einen dunk nach dem anderen einzuschenken. nice ist ein teamplayer durch und durch, zwar nicht aus witten, aber dennoch untouchable! die beiden songs -whiskeybars- und -psychiater- sind bereits als single auf vinyl erschienen und es gibt jeweils ein musikvideo dazu. auf dem label werden die kommenden alben von lakmann (creutzfeld & jakob) und weiteren mc größen des ruhrgebiets veröffentlicht sowie auch von neuen talenten.

geschmeidig faedelt madmotormiquel seine audiospuren durch genres und stilistische andeutungen. dabei gelingt es ihm, das scheinbar gegensaetzliche zu harmonischer stimmigkeit zu vertwisten. etwa hip hop und gradlinige tanzmusik. für den titel daddy are you proud verteilt der berliner produzent jazzige piano-samples und poetischen rap zwischen wummerndem bass und treibenden hi hats. mollono.bass setzt die stimme des originals nur sparsam ein, angelt sich für seinen remix die hintergruendigen synthesizer-akkorde und lotet ihre melodioese tiefe aus.. sie erweist sich als verdammt groß. im zwielicht hypnotischer flaechengebilde zeichnet sich mit minimaler und doch extrem schwungvoller rhythmik ein klangbild namens recall ab, und im spiel zwischen trippigem beat-gefrickel und verträumtem klavier-geklimper entsteht die dynamische ironie von too much money not enough style. eingaengige grooves aus faszinierenden zwischenwelten!
