the french in the 80s were not faint-hearted: as some threw themselves heart and soul into music or business, others wouldnÕt mind going bottomless to get themselves noticedÉ while bernard tapie soon realized his own fortune was rather to be found in business, many music-loving dreamers already imagined themselves in the sun, in an enchanting world made of funky rhythms and synthesizers. cd + 16 pages booklet

oddball space disco/funk tracks, composed between 1970 and 1985. big tip! a master of the mixing board, from the late 60s until the 90s bernard estardy was the wizard of french musical recordings. as head of cbe studios, he shaped everything from gˇrard mansets concept albums to claude fran¨ois hit singles, fran¨oise hardys delicate tear-jerkers and michel sardous soul-stirrers. this giant had his hand in the whole range of mainstream french music by making his studio a veritable playground for experimentation. his legendary album la formule du baron, released in 1969, and the eight lps of production music he made between 1974 and 1978 for tele music are vivid proof. in the cbe studio, which she runs today, his daughter julie estardy discussed his singular career.

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

for fans of:
john morales, crazy p, al kent, nile rodgers, todd terje, danny krivit.

having co-compiled two albums, the real sound of chicago and the real sound of chicago and beyond for bbe, dj and producer mark grusane steps out of the shadows to present the real sound of mark grusane.
a highly personal selection of modern soul, disco and a little touch of boogie, these rare tracks have all been respectfully edited, chopped up or extended by mark himself. apart from the odd private vinyl pressing, or occasionally handing an edit over to close friends and djs such as fellow bbe artist sadar bahar, mark has never before made these tracks available (despite the throng of people waiting around to ask each time he finishes a set).

the new album from kieran hebden aka four tet

noch immer steht der name nightmares on wax f�r eine einzigartige mischung aus hip hop und soul, aus dub und club-sounds und auf shape the future klingt diese nun schon �ber jahrzehnte hinweg perfektionierte gratwanderung so fl�ssig und schl�ssig wie nie zuvor. inspiriert von zahllosen dj-sets und studio-sessions in ganz unterschiedlichen ecken der welt, untermauert nightmares on wax mit diesem neuesten sound-update abermals seine ausnahmestellung in der elektronischen musiklandschaft. auf die bereits ver�ffentlichte erste auskopplung -back to nature-, die mit schamanistisch klingenden vocals die verbindung zwischen mensch und mutter erde adressierte, folgte die brandneue single citizen kane, f�r die george evelyn als vokalg�ste mozez und allan kingdom (u.a. kanye west, flume) an seine seite geholt hat, und die belegt, was f�r eine reise und entwicklung george im verlauf seiner einflussreichen karriere zur�ckgelegt hat. indem er noch mehr als zuvor auf tiefsch�rfenden, in gospel-sounds getr�nkten hip-hop setzt und seine ganze erfahrung als producer durchschimmern l�sst, tr�gt der neue track noch immer den unverkennbaren klanglichen stempel von nightmares on wax.

without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

energie pur! kanadisches fusion-kollektiv z�ndet die n�chste groove-rakete.
das sechsk�pfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist f�r ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, daf�r fallen spielfreude und selbstverst�ndnis auf sympathische weise gr�§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal f�r den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einfl�ssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die t�r zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) �ffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die b�hne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur gl�cklich macht.

zed bias is an electronic music pioneer, throughout his career he has traversed genres with ease whilst all the while retaining his signature sound. it was in 2016 that he debuted on exit records with a three tracker featuring zoe violet, the release was a sign of things to come. modern u.k. soul delivered in the 160bpm format, this aesthetic has now been developed with the different response album. it s the sound of zed bias in 2017, undeniable soul with one eye on the dancefloor. hes gathered a formidable feature list to voice the album artists from his native manchester and beyond all lend their talents to the album. label owner dbridge says of the release: an lp that fits perfectly in what i believe exit is about. artists creating music with soul and a sound uniquely their own. zed has shown again whats possible when you listen to your own voice

there is a long-standing love affair between dj harvey and pikes, ibiza. as well as coming back for his third consecutive Ômercury risingÕ residency, the legendary ÔdjsÕ dj has been appointed Ôcultural attachˇÕ for pikes, meaning his magic touch and feel-good presence will create even more special moments at pikes this summer, including the launch of new label, pikes records.
in 2015 dj harvey made his hugely anticipated return to ibiza and made pikes his home for his mercury rising debut, a concept inspired by the beauty of the real ibiza, the incredible history of pikes and a genuine love for music. the love, the dancing, the music and the balearic spirit perfectly and poetically encapsulated by dj harvey has seen mercury rising widely recognised as the most special night to embrace the island in over a decade.
the next step in the harvey and pikes story sees him launch pikes records Ð the first record label founded by pikes owners and ibiza rocks co-founders andy mckay and dawn hindle. on the label, harvey explains: i see so many avenues to work together to release music, everything from live recordings from ibiza rocks and pikes, mix tapes, original productions, showcasing new artists, theres all sorts of avenues to open up. with the finer details still under wraps, its safe to say fans can look forward to the first release being harveys very own mercury rising compilation. but what can we expect from the third instalment of mercury rising? putting it quite simply, just a serious good time really says harvey.

dj-kicks has tapped up life and death label founder dj tennis for the next instalment in its long running and landmark series, which is due for release on 14th july. the italian is the first artist to ever be granted not one but two discs across which to showcases his style, and he doesnt disappoint. the mix comes as a double cd and triple vinyl release and features four exclusive tracks. these include a brand new original from dj tennis featuring fink and called certain angels, plus new tennis versions of tunes by pole and frank brettschneider, and finally an unreleased track, paratrooper, from acclaimed tel aviv duo red axes. in programming these two diverse, eclectic and yet coherent rides, dj tennis shows off his singular knack for nailing an aesthetic that is subversive yet seductive in equal measure.

d‰m-funk is the kind of guy who seems like he d make great company: laid-back, affable, personable. but to truly get the guy, to really understand him, is to know a deep love of music like no other. dam s contribution to the dj-kicks series gives you an opportunity to do just that. it s a snapshot view into the mind of the pioneer of modern-funk musicÉ dj-kicks invites you to get to know the man behind the shades. dam makes a lifetime of digging and absorbing music that feels as laid-back as the santa ana breeze. years ago, he coined the term modern funk to give context to his music. the elements of the synth-heavy and multi-layered style are gloriously displayed on dj-kicks. -modern-funk is a combination of all the sounds on the mix,- he explains. -funk, boogie, electro, house, modern-soul, ambient tonesÉ a push and pull of nostalgia and progressiveness...- at a satisfying 19 songs, d‰m-funk s dj-kicks lets grooves breathe. this is a mix to happily get lost within, a document in vibe. unexpected contemporary joints mingle with lost gems from unlikely places. the exclusive d‰m-funk production -believer- makes its debut on dj-kicks, an extensive instrumental composition that on it s own could only be classified as signature modern-funk. the mix also includes dam s excellent collaboration with nite jewel, as nite-funk, on -can u read me?-

what is amateur space jazz? one could call it a lo-fi minimal wavish version of cosmic space jazz and anything closely related to it...from spiritual soul, g-funk, ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between...no knowledge of musical theory is required...played with a d.i.y punk approach on crappy digital synthesizers - preferably with dubious renditions of real instruments. warmed up to the right temperature with some offbeat effectsbox. multitracking is a technique widely used...to create a one person band with all its members oneselfs multidimensional copies in time........comes with a 24 page graphic novel written and drawn by danny wolfers himself and a nightwind amateur space jazz gummy domed sticker.......lets enter world of amateur space jazz!!!
