yes, its them: federleicht. no better way to start a label: the newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: >rosa lee<. florian schirmacher and marc bammann made an apt remark in naming the ep >modern dada< to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. music with german lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the >supergooses< ep was rewarded as a masterpiece in the de:bug. formresonance devides their releases in solid, fluid and aeroform to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. solid in any case with both feet down-to-club. how nice … there should be the klub edit of rosa lee as well. in >lilly & douai (fluid)<, the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which federleicht travels the two french industrial cities lille and douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. such sensitive places they are…
