the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

2x12 inch repress version (ohne downloadcode und ohne 7 inch bonus)!! in der pampa weiß man nicht, was einen erwartet. bei >thora vukk< sind ein heller und ein dunkler fluss ineinander verwoben und so verschieden die beiden stränge auch sind, so notwendig sind sie füreinander. die düsteren, herausforderenden klangräume bringen die melodischen, clubbigen tracks zum strahlen. die feingliedrigen grooves kommunizieren mit jeder einzelnen muskelfaser. sie ziehen an den gliedmaßen wie an den fäden einer marionette. bezaubernd schöne strings eröffnen ein packendes oder doch ungreifbares popmoment. durch die ständigen variationen öffnen sich die fächer 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 für das schlafzimmer und für >fahrgastzellen aller art<.

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.
