am 23. juli feiert der film -becks letzter sommer- mit christian ulmen in der hauptrolle seine leinwandpremiere. ein intensives kinoerlebnis mit einem intensiven soundtrack. der stammt von dem schweizer tobias jundt alias bonaparte. vom ersten ton an wird klar: kaum ein musiker lebt seine fantasien mit einer vergleichbaren intensitŠt aus wie der wahl-berliner. zudem ist die paarung ulmen-jundt perfekt, da die beiden bereits wŠhrend der vergangenheit in der band cashpunk kŸnstlerisch zusammengearbeitet haben.

from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

das dritte und letzte kapitel der woolfy vs projections album-trilogie findet mit stations seinen kršnenden abschluss, der mit den alben the astral projections of starlight aus dem jahr 2008 began und mit the return of love aus 2012 fortgefŸhrt wurde. das konzept der alben-saga der band aus los angeles von simon james und dan hastie basiert lose auf den abenteuern des verschollenen astronauten captain starlight, der held des zazu songs, einem balearic rock klassiker, der auch den sound von woolfy vs projections auszeichnet, mitbeeinflusst hat, ein dŸsterer balearic und cosmic vibe, verbunden mit dem typischen west coast sound, disco dub, funk und hippie rock. stŸcke wie absynth (von resident advisor treffend mit air covering steely dan umschrieben), neeve oder set me loose kšnnen allesamt als moderne klassiker des genres bezeichnet werden.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album ÒboliviaÓ that they are trying to do another kind of music Ð something that isnÕt entertainment, something that isnÕt show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer ÒflamingoÓ. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play ÒflamingoÓ in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the c—meme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

more late 70s westcoast yachtpop you can almost dance to.

aufgenommen wurde die platte in los angeles und im heimstudio der band in norwegen. nach den etwas pompšseren werken one armed bandit und live with the britten sinfonia begibt sich starfire auf experimentelleres terrain und ist bestimmt durch die arbeit im studio, wo jedem song verschiedenste klangliche nuancen beigemischt wurden. der sound von marcus forsgrens gitarre spielt auf starfire eine ebenso prominente rolle, wie der einsatz von elektronischeren klŠngen, das macht es zu dem am wenigsten jazzigen album von jaga jazzist.

northern lite mit ihrem zehnten album, einer platte ohne nostalgie und rŸckblick, und trotzdem ist die nummer 10 eine vervollstŠndigung der band-geschichte. alben wie unisex, super black oder letters & signs haben elektronische musik auf ganz ungeahnte weise mit pop und rock vereint. die clubs haben sich gewandelt, die festivals vergrš§ert northern lite sind bestŠndig. ihre hits laufen im radio, ihre fans sind ihnen treu und auch das neue album wird ganz traditionell keine konstruktion, sondern eine momentaufnahme sein.

mit candie hank produzierten sie so etwas wie desert-polka, hymnischen hip hop hingegen mit modeselektor und den puppetmastaz. wir hšren mitrei§enden neo postrock in kooperation mit tortoise oder laetitia sadier, radiotaugliches songwriting mit eric d. clark, gebrochenen funk in kooperation mit den eigens wiedervereinigten funkstšrung und einen astreinen r&b-ohrwurm mit den junior boys. so ist 21 again eine ode an die freude und freunde der band und gleichzeitig ein manifest des stŠndigen dialogs, eine feier der vielschichtigkeit.

ein album im sinne klassischer songwritertraditionen. natŸrlich angereichert mit anleihen an ihre detail-versessene und floor-berauschende aneignung von house, aber Ÿberdeutlich zu einem in sich geschlossenen sound-kapitel verdichtet. es ist ein album, das neben der kooperation mit bostons e-funk wizard tanner ross auf zwei stŸcken vor allem in zusammenarbeit mit dem englischen sŠnger und musiker chris james entstand. james, der unter anderem auch mit seiner band stateless auf ninja tune und !k7 veršffentlicht, hat einen wesentlichen anteil an der strahlkraft dieses albums. seine wŠrmende stimme und seine intuitive entwicklung von gesangsarrangements fruchteten augenblicklich mit den vorstellungen der berliner produzenten und so erarbeiteten sie letztendlich elf gemeinsame stŸcke ...

man is a rope is not a band but rather a process developed by new york songwriter / producer / artist, evan t. q. kreeger. using live instrumental and vocal performances with analog effects to make electronic hybrid music rather than employing virtuals, loops or samples, man is a rope creates its own unique dark dynamics and complex churns which invoke elements from no wave, early mute/4ad, rowland s. howard, the cabs, detroit / birmingham techno, a certain ratio, the swans, coil, 70s crimson, and film music. these works are composed in parallel with video treatments and storyboard development. from conception, audio is forever bonded to its symbiotic images.

good price for good music! what do you do when a live project exceeds its own ambitions? just keep doing the wonderful concerts and eventually head to the studio. sounds simple and conclusive. in the case of karocel, that was exactly how they went about it and surprisingly, all six band members made it happen. though the four marbert rocels, mathias kaden and michael-mitchi-nagler have known each other from their hometown along the gera-jena-erfurt corridor, and the karocel live shows have been well received: an album is an entirely different beast.

slag is a live techno band consisting of equal parts musicians and djs. the four experienced men draw on their experience from record shops dance floors and film-/ theater-music and have the common passion for techno in their neural pathways. with the passion for electronic music and classic synthesizers, they created a sound black as oil and white as freshly fallen snow. the band varies their performance with a large portion jam elements and makes their live shows tension filled in both club and concert performances. a concert by fire slag starts in the deepest dub and ends in a furious techno ballad
