cindy appears again in memories of cindy pt. 2, a passage of five plaintive cuts, concisely rendered with spineful percussion, succinct melodies and textures that evoke classic acid house and the new beat scene of the late 80s / early 90s. featured on pt 2. are several songs among the collection s non-club oriented tracks, transportzone mee- and forever afslutidijk, both meditative, atmospheric exercises interspersed among the ep s higher-bpm takes.

teaming up again with the master of junglist vocals – mc fats and employing the classic soulful vibes of legend cleveland watkiss, break created a full vocal single, with both artists featuring on both sides. we are the people weaves mellow and uplifting piano chords with a strong verse from cleveland, switching to fats for his lick to cut into a heavy drop. weighty wobbling jungle subs, peppered with warm synth bass melodies carry this summery roller through, with both vocalists complimenting each others flavours stylishly. a blissed out dreamy breakdown gets you chilled for a switch back to the second drop bassline, going low and long with the subs. a chilled summery feel good vibe, with some backbone!
midnite classic, rolling in a heavy reggae skank loop for the intro sets a great backdrop for cleveland’s very catchy lyrics and melody. switching to fats for a minimal dnb build up and dropping with his renowned vocal style cutting over the bassline on a junglist style drop. a classic old skool feeling but still with a fresh modern edge, this is an addictive club tune, capturing raw vibes that are always needed in the dance.

composed of members buckshot, 5ft, and dj evil dee, black moon simultaneously kicked off and defined the rap renaissance of new york with the release of enta da stage in 1993. whereas plenty of earlier groups had spit rage-flled rhymes to tear down the world’s unjust establishments, no one had evoked brooding pathos or introspective anger quite like black moon.

charlie ahearn s 1983 film wild style holds a place in both music and cinematic history as one of the first examples of a hip-hop film. since its original release it has been widely praised for its hybrid approach as both a narrative musical and a documentary, and as a time capsule of sorts into the culture of hip-hop during its infancy in the 1980s. besides its classic depictions of mcing, turntablism, graffiti, and breakdancing, the film also featured now legendary figures of the genres in acting roles, such as grandmaster flash, fab five freddy, busy bee starski, and many more. wild style went on to garner an immense cult following, portions of the film itself would be sampled in records by artists like nas, beastie boys, mf doom, and more, and would even be exhibited by museums in chicago and boston as part of programs on the art of the 1980s.

während das *text-album* in momenten an sonic youth, pavement, cocteau twins, stereolab, velvet underground, the national und sonny&cher erinnert, lösen sich die songstrukturen auf dem instrumental-album zart auf in zwingende soundscapes zwischen noise-miniatur und cinemascope-breitwandepos, wecken assoziationen zu neu!, goblin, feelies, young marble giants, wendy carlos oder mogwai. die vermeintlichen widersprüche ihres scheinbar unbegrenzten pop-entwurfs, die gleichzeitigkeit von unaufgeregt und völlig durchgedreht, schüchtern und radikal, krachig und hymnisch, radiotauglichen melodien und avant-experimentalität schaffen eine große, befreiende leichtigkeit. und alle konzeptualität mal beiseite: es sind einfach wahnsinnig schöne songs. ob mit worten oder ohne: locas in love sind in ihrer nüchternheit und melancholie, in ihrer unzufriedenheit und uneinverstandenheit auf ihrer neuen platte lebensbejahender und umarmender als jemals zuvor. und das macht ihre musik so hörenswert - und wertvoll.

es ist vollbracht. beinahe zwei stunden peterlicht, live, gebannt auf ein album. mit allen hits in neuen versionen, einem tosenden strom von musik und sprache, der hyperreal die atmosphäre der live-konzerte spiegelt. immer wieder durchkreuzt von peterlicht selbst mit seinen flirrenden erzählungen zwischen komik und schmerz, irrsinn und hysterie. und seinen wunderbaren, nicht enden wollenden lied-ansagen, in denen er sein schaffen als künstler auf der bühne immer wieder kritisch hinterfragt: was tue ich hier eigentlich? was tut ihr hier? und nehmen wir das gerade tatsächlich auf? herausgekommen ist eine pulsierende mischung aus guter musik, wilden live-momenten und literarischen schussfahrten. wir folgen einem künstler auf seinem kühnen ritt über die mindestens doppelbödigen planken der live-darbietung, dass es für alle ein genuss ist. und am ende geht alles immer glimpflich aus: der nächste song. applaus. ein lob der realität.
erscheint als doppel-lp im gatefold plus cd-dreingabe. im blumenbar verlag erscheint zeitgleich das buch *lob der realität*, das mit vielen unveröffentlichten texten und bildern aus einem anderen blickwinkel der realität ins auge sieht.

the aristocrats were originally from bridgeport, connecticut, but came to philadelphia in 1973 where they recorded five tracks with bobbi eli at sigma sound studios. only one single was released, the philly classic “let’s get together now” on warner brothers records. original pressings can fetch up to £150. the expansion pressing here is extra special as the ‘b’ side “loving you is mellow” has never previously been released on 7” or vinyl. it is in fact the original version of a song later made famous by major harris but in it’s own right an exceptional piece of philly magic.

moscow based multi-talent impish has been steadily honing his skills since 2013 working through labels such as program, fokuz recordings and his own fast rising occulti music imprint. it s that last label that saw him release the critically acclaimed silence lp back in 2016. fast forward to the summer of 2017 and a new album project the hush lp is set for release through all quality physical electronic music outlets around the world.
being the perfectionist that he is impish continues to impress working on crystal clear music productions where impeccable drumwork is combined with organic touches and progressions. this album sampler which features the two tracks can’t feel and that’s right is no different: it’s written on the fine line where driving beats for the dance floor meet harmonies for the mind and soul.
look out for the sampler dropping on 12” vinyl near the end of june. the full album will be released late september on 3x12” vinyl and all digital formats.

Über 30 und immer noch ein rapkid, das genau weiß, was es will.

the summer breeze is never far away when the barefoot beats posse are in town! the limited edition 10inch vinyl series continues in some style with two mighty contributions from nyc taste maker jkriv and rio s very own rising star joutro mundo. razor-n-tape head honcho jkriv kicks things off with a seriously loose and funk-heavy groove that hits as hard as a mango caipirinha at dawn. while over on the flip, joutro mundo puts stars in our eyes with his deep and hypnotic brasilian vibes. the barefoot vibe is strong!

baker’s dozen heads back to the east coast where veteran producer marco polo brings a welcomed boom bap flavor to the series. new york city is the birthplace of fat beats (and as many would say, hip-hop in general) and current nyc resident marco polo is true to form in representing our roots. as always, every volume of bdz features one artist and twelve tracks (with limited random copies including the baker’s dozen bonus track on a flexidisc) and comes equipped with a 5x7” postcard insert that features a photo of the artist’s workspace along with the equipment used in their music making process. a personal narrative of how they got into beat making in the first place is featured on the back of the jacket. visually cohesive and packaged with the utmost attention to detail, baker’s dozen is a series that speaks up for artists whose craft renders voices superfluous, and whose instrumentals alone suffice to make a statement.

banoffee pies return with the second in their beats series. another record featuring friends and family with label members slim. and simiah both dropping 4 sample heavy cuts, more original vocal work from the blossoming merryn jeann, and local bristol talent with a beat maker named crate head and rodn3y. mesmerizing melodies pull this rolling beat tape together with another 12 track selection of dusty head nods for your listening pleasure from a to b. a new journey for the banoffee pies camp that continues to push and collaborate musical boundaries in all directions. for the music and lovers. living room jams made in smoke. banoffee xx

it’s no exaggeration to say that geraldo pino and his band the heartbeats kickstarted the whole soul/funk/afrobeat scene in west africa. mixing highlife, funk and jazz, and using the latest equipment, they laid waste to all before them. in 1966 fela kuti was a jobbing musician, eeking out a living with highlife bands. when gerlado pino came to town, it changed his life.
“pino tore up the scene,” he recalls in an interview with carlos moore. “i knew i had to get my shit together. and fast!”
