classic reggae !!

disco mali! sofrito present a unique slice of afro-disco from the celebrated griot, niama makalou, recorded in the late 70s.
descended from a family of griots (traditional malian praise singers), niama makalou moved to france in the mid 70s where she cut this, her one and only vinyl release. at the time paris (like much the rest of the world) was swept up in disco fever, so along with a group of malian musicians the date was set to cut a piece of disco, griot style. the resulting mixture of off kilter hand claps, raw string arrangements, balafon flourishes and bambara vocals combine with a heavy disco groove to produce a one-off piece of cross-cultural dancefloor mayhem.
on the flip daphni (aka caribou) crafts an extended version that distills it into a stripped down and dubbed out groove.

another killer from tuff scout~this one featuring robert lee!

as dmob said in the early 1988 we call acid - the musical phenomenon that makes you want to dance, that puts you in a trance, that move you to the beat. in 2012 a turin mysterious artist know as a.m.b. ( acid music band ) decided to follow the way to acid music, inspired by the acid guru as virgo or tyree cooper and the first techno workers as underground resistance or juan atkins he produced two tracks only with analog instruments and acid attitude. acid music band sounds like an orchestra, the man is the music director and the machines are the players. we are young so we asked help from an old expert… directly from the chi-city, ricardo miranda contributed to create an overall ep with his fantastic boogie remix. old and young records.. we love acid too.

ramona welcomes hungarian homeboy san laurentino (electric minds, mathematics recordings) for his first outing on live at robert johnson. a self-taught producer and isolated from the hubs of electronic body music in europe and overseas, laurentinos music bears all the qualities that such a recluse has to offer: deviating, different, definite and demonstrative music. four cuts of neo-star trance, ambient wave, erotic illusions and borderline rain-forest house. ramona fell in love with them. forbidden fruits taste best.

waiting for never was created a few months later when trei was passing through vienna and the final track, a tearing trei remix of >baby i ll play< by the thomas oliver band.

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

acperience - two decades edition robert babicz spacefunkmix. stunning remix from robert babicz of the classic track >acperience 1<! roberts musical output is inspiring and staggering. a true one-man operation,he writes, records and performs solo commanding an ever-expanding touring schedule, tailoring the music he creates to the cities he visits. but thats only part of the puzzle, babiczs art is comprised of more than just his music. he films everything. using his music to open doors and build relationships with people in only the way music can, he then records his experiences and interaction on film, both still and moving, later editing the images together as a picture track to his audio. the b-side is a freshly remastered version of the original.

hugo barritt was a promoter at londons infamous egg venue, during which time he focused his attention on robert owens residency at the club. a friendship was struck up and when hugo finally decided to leave to concentrate on production he could think of no-one better to provide the vocals to you are than the most recognisable voice in dance music, mr owens himself.befitting such a wonderful coupling, efdemin heard the track and agreed immediately to provide the remix,and a splendidly slick ride it is too, taking the merest hints of roberts vocal whilst injecting a melodic feel for a blissed out ride through the early hours. contrast that with high octane thrills of murmur regular tom demacs remix - dispensing with the subtleties of the original in favour of a power house ride of beats and bass, warping roberts vocal into something altogether sleazier.

first on decks.de !! the norwegian composer and producer robert solheim have been releasing quality underground music spanning from ambient to chilled electronics and techy house and techno for more than a decade. and now, after spending months fine-tuning the album > hollywood under the knife< in the dark electronica project the opiates with billie ray martin, he has finally found time to submerge himself into his other world of fine art electronics and is back with a new ep in the category, >music for your home and club entertainment <. the >syv / o portiño ep< contains two 2 trippy and techy house tracks labeled with his unique quality. both tracks taken from his forthcoming album heretics<, and the ep comes with superb remixes from john tejada (kompakt , pokerflat, palette) and dj puk (aquavit records, smiley fingers). be prepared to go deep both at home and on the dance floor.

ramona is pretty nervous to welcome a new name to her ever-growing happy family. in fact, its actually an old band member. christian beisswenger alias cb funk alias one half of arto mwambe is not exactly one you would call a stranger. for >77 reasons< he debuts as the citizens band with some novel sounds on risky grounds. in love with details, fragile sounds, little tricks and with a fine ear for the action, the band leader tiptoes into deep bleepy house just enough to call >west 42nd< exactly that. >77 reasons< however plays around with a memorable little melody, a skanking lead and some boom sonics. whatever you want to call it, ramona is fine with it. orson and kane would be proud.
