best of summer tunes!

the 12-inch sampler for >panorama bar 03< could have hardly been better. hitherto unreleased, the tree tracks on ostgut ton 47 tick all the boxes that make prosumer such a unique dj: house in its various identities. soundstore starts the triptych with >take u<. greatness and frantic fever visions go hand in hand while hitting the core of chicagos second wave: dance mania, cajual, and relief with siren-like hooks in a feverish delirium. irresistible. prosumers panorama bar fellow steffi slows down the pace. >sadness< that surprisingly did not make it on her album debut is not only the opener of the actual panorama bar mix, but also a tribute to that kind of deep house that doesnt take its prefix lightly. in the end, berlins hunee teaches you a freestyle lesson. in a similar way to the young pal joey, he feeds his sampler a well-known dish, but throws in peculiarity, rascality and deviation to get new results. after all the time, this music is still not getting a bit long in the tooth. lets take a love break.

300 copies, vinyl only, authentic, raw, underground. the second offering from laak on their austere imprint is another defined four tracker. >back of beyond< kicks things off, a sincere heads down jam combining latin percussion elements with a killer bass line and warm chords. the second track, >dont ever leave< is a heartfelt lament on the feeling of loss, slowing the tempo down, this one is deep! on the flip, >cosmic causeway< offers something a little different although keeping with the warm pads, this time the use of a spaced out trumpet keeps things flowing. the remaining track >cantankerous emotions< is a little different as regards to the beats, but loses none of the soul and profoundness of the other tracks. only for the underground soldiers!

in der pampa wei§ man nicht, was einen erwartet. bei >thora vukk< sind ein heller und ein dunkler fluss ineinander verwoben und so verschieden die beiden strŠnge auch sind, so notwendig sind sie fŸreinander. die dŸsteren, herausforderenden klangrŠume bringen die melodischen, clubbigen tracks zum strahlen. die feingliedrigen grooves kommunizieren mit jeder einzelnen muskelfaser. sie ziehen an den gliedma§en wie an den fŠden einer marionette. bezaubernd schšne strings eršffnen ein packendes oder doch ungreifbares popmoment. durch die stŠndigen variationen šffnen sich die fŠcher der grooves immer anders. im gegensatz zum ersten robag-wruhme-album sollte das neue gesetzter werden und mehr mit melodien und mit selbst aufgenommen samples arbeiten - ideal fŸr das schlafzimmer und fŸr >fahrgastzellen aller art<.
