new years deal - behind the highway, near the industrial area, next to the airport, somewhere in the innercity, urban principles fall apart. that leaves the enclaves, mono functionalism and an urban ultra density that local governments are struggling to eradicate. both a cage and a cocoon, there is a space where development opportunities hit the wall. hybrid places that combines urban collapse and >the new culture<, endemic violence and solidarity, all of which is left to the communities to deal with without outside help. when the post-industrial economy becomes sporadic and nothing else takes shape, man is left at the mercy of his environment. techno appears and becomes a parallel between man and the city, as another faceless entity which unifies them. this unity is the result and techno is the process.

the next corner release comes from anthony parasole & phil moffa, phil moffa the man behind butcha sound studio s and anthony parasole label head for the corner and deconstruct join forces for three live jams recorded in the dungeons of nyc... these are three tracks to start for the dancefloor and end up at the apocalypse!

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

im wilden zirkusleben trifft man immer viele menschen. man erzählt sich große und kleine geschichten. da ist uns eine geschichte von den beiden zirkusmusikern the glitz ganz besonders in erinnerung geblieben. sie handelt von der großen prima ballerina. so sagt man sich, dass die große russische prima ballerina damals vom glitzernden bolschoi verstoßen wurde, weil sie sich mit den zwei jungen burschen dole und kom auf ein liebesabenteuer einließ. der damalige stadthalter von st. petersburg hatte auch ein auge auf die grazile tänzerin geworfen und wollte mit ihr nach italien reisen um dort einen lula circus zu eröffnen. doch die prima ballerina hatte bekanntlich anderes im sinn. so verfluchte der zornige stadthalter die schönheit zum ewigen tanzen. man sagt sich, dass die mittlerweile schon über 200 jahre alte prima ballerina immer noch in einem wanderzirkus durch die welt tanzt.
