spätestens mit dem meisterwerk and they have escaped the weight of darkness- und seinem prämierten soundtrack für die tv-serie broadchurch wird olafur arnalds in einem atemzug mit jungen, angesagten, multitalentierten komponisten wie nils frahm oder jon hopkins genannt. diese verstehen es perfekt, experiment und abenteuer der elektronischen musik mit der sensibilität klassischer musik zu verbinden und wie hier auf der neuen late night tales mit brillantem post-dubstep (koreless, james blake) zu ergänzen. olafur arnalds steuert dazu mehrere exklusive tracks bei (u.a. seines techno-projekts kiasmos), sowie die obligatorische coverversion (destinys child say my name!). der ausklang erfolgt wie immer mit einer spoken word-perfomance, diesmal vom britischen broadchurch hauptdarsteller david tennant.

ein raum, fernab vom allem und doch gleich um die ecke. eine vision zum greifen nahe und doch soweit entfernt. gerahmt von tasten, klappen, poties und kleinteiligen liegen, diskutieren und tanzen marbert rocel durch den winter 2015. in diesem, ihrem leipziger studio fŸhlt die band die lieder zusammen, die im sommer 2014 in einem noch abgelegneren, umwaldeten winkel entstanden. jede entscheidung durch alle kšpfe, jeder akkord von hinten und vorn hunderte male gehšrt, jeder kompromiss ein triumph fŸr die sache. keine streicherarrangements vermitteln hier grš§e, sondern das einvernehmliche nicken, das Ÿber die jahre in marbert rocel entstand. in the beginning ist das vierte marbert rocel album. eine gelebte utopie von freundschaft, ein herber kuss fŸr jeden genreliebenden. hier ist nichts grob gehauen, sondern fein gemei§elt. wie tau perlt das schlagwerk von fŠchernden synths. wie gute freunde empfangen dich die songs. wie tinkerbell leitet spunks stimme durch eine vertraut-fremde welt vorbei an gro§en gefŸhlen und kleinen gesten, um schlie§lich dahin zu fŸhren, wo alles begann in the beginning.

the records fundament are slow, powerful beats which hold everything together springintgut has been responsible for the studio production at most times while f.s. blumm, experienced for years in making radio plays, has handled the mixing and collaging of the parts. the bird and white noise invites to join the travels, and in its long arches and bridges it can easily be listened to as a whole. while the opener or eskimono feature the rather lyrical side of the duo, tracks like land ab neu or chitin set more punchy priorities to a heavy bass and 808 drums. chitin is a late climax of the album, building up for minutes to a massive groove in an insect-like, abstract sound world, leaving just enough space for romantic cello lines to break through in the middle. the record has been released exclusively in japan for the duos tour in april 2014 via pingipungs partner label nightcruising in kyoto. pingipung now releases the lp version and the cd worldwide

the compilation, mixed by the talented moxa dj reisdent alex ferrazzi, was created from friendship, empathy, admiration and the mutual respect that binds moxa to all the dj s that have been an integral part of the club. from day one, music was at the heart of every project that the club has been involved in, with the sole support of immense passion for club culture. a considerable amount of that time has been spent trying to create a work that was the exact image of the club. simone piadena.

the record label muggsy is not related to muggsy spanier, the legendary jazz cornettist. nor is it connected to the tiny terror of the nba, muggsy bogues. neither, for that matter, is it linked to cypress hill dj and producer dj muggs. nope. it is, however, entirely related to the brooklyn house firmament, henrystreet.

uk collection from the 60s soul legends. smokey robinson and the miracles are one of the greatest vocal groups of all time. they made some of the most important popular music of the 60s and early 70s, that sounds as fresh today as when they were first recorded. this 20-track collection contains some of the groups most loved moments such as the tracks of my tears, the tears of a clown and i second that emotion. this collection takes the listener on a journey through the vocal groups back catalog of albums, taking in many of their best loved tracks.

do you love elegant, sophisticated music with a feeling, as much as raw, gutsy, hard-hitting music? guessing that you do penniman records takes great pride in introducing you to the excitements, because their music fits into both categories. they are an all natural free-of-additives-and-preservatives r&b / soul band. a band with both feet solidly planted on memphis and detroit, and with a heartbeat which is pure chicago. to put it simply, the excitements are what the doctor ordered: six dynamite musicians intent on bringing out the very best from koko jean davis extraordinary voice, a voice which will either break your heart or astonish your ears, whatever koko fancies the most. the excitements career is truly awesome. their first gig took place in july 2010, and a month after that the band embarked on the first of their three recording sessions, their first spanish tour and a series of concerts all across europe. very few groups can boast of enjoying such a critical success, selling so many 45s and capturing such a loyal following in so short a time. their splendid first album, -the excitements- available on vinyl and cd - has been produced by the great mike mariconda - the only living man with a direct connection between his ears and his crotch. hearing is believing, and koko and her partners are bound to mesmerize with numbers such as nathaniel mayer s -from now on-, barbara stephens s -wait a minute- and little richard s -never let you go-, a track which will go straight to your heart. you may call them old-fashioned. a classic sound, if you wish. one thing is clear: the good stuff is here to stay. stop reading, listen to the excitements and hear for yourself.

the album has a very fragile, stripped down and haunting sound and is being roundly praised for it s beauty and simplicity drawing numerous comparisons to his early work with the beta band on the -3 eps- album. having previously recorded as both king biscuit time and black affair, both largely electronic based projects, steve mason enlisted the help of producer richard x and consciously made a decision to go back to basics: the album was written entirely on acoustic guitar with many of the finished tracks stripped back to reveal his undoubted songwriting talent. this special bonus edition includes a bonus disc of the album -ghosts outside- which sees the original album given a dub reworking by dennis bovell.
