*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.

studio bruno is the joint project of johannes beck as well as his friend musicians and producers. the concept of studio bruno is based on a one week stay at studio bruno in an old farmhouse in steigerwald, franconia, a lovely nature park in north bavaria, where each musician invited brings a machine or an instrument of his choice. the focus of that week is the common producing and live improvising.for the first record steffen bennemann (nachtdigital) and sevensol (kann) were invited. sevensol brought his tr-707, his monotron delay and steffen bennemann came with his field recorder. the result of this one-week session is a deep house track with a distorted synth line and a krautrock-slash-funky jazz track!

every moment in life has its own and special soundtrack. eclectic and in its usual frieda attitude the >moments like this ep< captures these snap-shots, transforming them perfectly into sound. the three original tracks, composed by ordinary subject, sweeten the party horizon with the right groove. >moments like this< develops an unbelievable drive and with the piano play from sacha ketterlin reaches an incredible deepness. one gets totally into the unrestrained celebration mood with >a jimmy<, which rocks with guitar riffs from 50-51. on the other hand, the >cansons charmed mix< on the >moments like this< invites you to dream. while most dreams take place in black and white, canson in his typical style, draws in the richest of colors, sending our souls into a foreign world. before he smoothly sets us back into our world, he manages to make us glide on a slow trip in which the pictures start to reveal that our aspirations seem almost tangible. last but not least, the >a jimi< is remixed by the label chiefs don ramon and san marco. their >spaghetti house mix< transforms the irrepressible rocker into a bluesy ride into the sunrise.
