these days house music is often about a 4/4 beat and a catchy groove. the idea is to do something simple to which you can get your groove and, and not so much about listening. the borders of electronic dance music makes room for the hypnotic beats, the driving grooves, but not always the melodic universes. leman & dieckmann have been making music for several years, both together and apart, but almost all of their music was driven mainly by the beat. but both having an urge to discover the dynamics of melodic synths and melodic percussion they decided to make an album. they agreed that the album had to tell a story, and like so many times before in music the topic became love. the story they try to tell through the music on the album *takes two* is the story of a breakup, the denial of the need of love, and the discover of the fact that often in life it takes two, to be happy.

there are lots of producers out there who try really hard to do something else. then, there are these chosen few artists that effortlessly are something else in their own right. durian brothers and their magical array of modified turntables, sequencers and machines belong in this selected circle. so this mini album is a quite special and unconventional release, but that doesnt mean its not dance music - quite the opposite!

*head off, heart on* is next to go. this ep of our artist juzz contains two brand new tunes, both revealing in depth sight on the producers perception. *i felt a deep urge to get rid of all my conceptual influences regarding the way of creating my music. almost like a purifying force that guided me back to the roots of expressing my emotions through music- says the long time producer and dj. constantly being surrounded by music got me more and more into a repetitive workflow. remembering the freedom and innocence of my first attempts in the studio led to this sole conclusion: turn your head off and your heart on.* and the result speaks for itself: highly emotional music wrapped in functional arrangements, aiming to move your soul. accompanied by two astonishing remixes from markus homm and dreksler & haerle, who both got only one demand: head off, heart on.

good old aunt frieda likes it colorful, that’s pretty known in all parts of the world since the birth of frieda musik. and even our new children of the family are the same kind of colorful: frivolous is painting in all different colors without wasting any paint. his two originals are pushing with forward-thinking rhythms without forgetting how to get his audience into dreaming through his golden voice and his playful melodies. a very special schmankerl is his lullaby. a little more precise and determined comes dirty doering and sascha cawa’s upside down remix of “for the message” within this package. and not to forget there’s a digital bonus by our boys san marco & don ramon, who tell us: don’t stop mumble, if you wanna get this kind of (zurich)-groove. in our opinion: a perfect ep for endless summer nights.

das album loda von belp untersucht eine verbindung zwischen jazz und elektronischer musik, die noch nicht ausreichend bzw. erschoepfend betrieben worden ist. gehen wir einmal davon aus, dass elektronische musik als musikrichtung langfristig bestand haben und sich weiterentwickeln wird. dann stellen wir fest, dass cross-over versuche zwischen jazz und elektronischer musik bislang so gut wie nie echte schnittmengen gebildet haben, sondern versatzstuecke des einen im anderen einsetzten, ohne die beiden zugrundeliegenden philosophien zu verschmelzen.
