nrbq sind die mutter aller eklektizismus-bands. schon auf ihrem 1969er debüt-album coverten sie sun ra, spielten eddie cochran-rock & roll und komponierten die tollsten popsongs, was yo la tengo, bonnie raitt, paul mccartney, elvis costello oder den chefnörgler keith richards zu ihren größten fans gemacht hat. sie sind die ewige lieblingsband vom drehbuchautor marc scully, was sie zur wohl unbekanntesten band macht, die jemals bei den simpsons einen auftritt hatte. was aber auch dazu führte, das sponge bob schwammkopf immer wieder ihre lieder sang. aus der original-quartett ist leider nur noch keyboarder und sänger terry adams übrig, aber die aktuelle besetzung, die seit nunmehr 8 jahren zusammen spielt lässt für eingefleischte nrbq fans keinen wunsch offen. das neue album „brass tacks“ zeigt nrbq in ihrer ganzen prächtigen vielfalt. das berliner label staatsakt, das auch zum kreis der großen nrbq-fans gehört, ist sehr glücklich, sich in deutschland um die vermarktung und promotion für -brass tacks- zu kümmern.

with this new four-track ep by rai scott the slowly emerging producer moves away from being the enigma that appeared on a split 12- with brad peterson that launched the inner shift imprint in 2012. and by the sounds on this ep, she s someone to be noticed. preceding her forthcoming debut on ornate, scott provides another four-track called reason to smile for inner shift music. it s the fifth release for the label this year and -we love you- certainly earns its place as the record s a1, sweet and meaningful deep house. -keep on- is a dubbed out, bassline driven tribal journey of drums and low-end rhythm completed by emotional chords that eventually takeover, while -cats and water- is on a funky, stripped-back and loopy 90s techno tip. and for some ambient fun that then turns house: -sky in the clouds- is a perfect b2. an exciting producer house communities worldwide should be talking about in the second half of this year.
