goodvibe records project is an effort to expand the boundaries of hugo, and his favourite producers music, beyond standard nightclub beats. after the bright side, its time to reveal hugos dark side for the second release of his new imprint goodvibe records. hugo takes the listener down the darker alleys of his production and demonstrates to himself that 4/4 beats are made of many different feelings. we are all strongly attracted by the dark side of life, of humor, of music. it doesnt make us bad persons, but in fact make us as comfortable with ourself as we could possibly be. it lightens the seriousness of subjects dubbed taboo. lets go on the dark side!

G.I. DISCO - COMPILED BY KALLE KUTS & DANIEL W. BEST (2X12)
2x12 Inch LP 15.10.10
g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.

goose hat sie schon immer gehabt, diese laute dance-music-with-rock-attitude, schon auf ihrem 2006er debütalbum bring it on. ihre bellenden synths, schreienden vocals und wuchtigen energie-levels sind längst zum festen bestandteil der justice/ed banger-szene geworden. auf >synrise< macht die band einen ausflug in die 70er- und 80er-jahre, in die zeiten von space disco wie automat und 80er-filmsoundtracks, mit musikalischen koordinaten wie philip glass, giorgio moroder und vangelis. das resultat ist mehr als nur die summer dieser teile: es ist ein album voller dance-tunes mit klaren pop-strukturen. das beginnt schon mit dem titeltrack >synrise<, einem jetstreaming-soundscape von moroder-artigen synth-arpeggios, die sich hochschrauben zu einem gastauftritt von peaches. >words< dagegen könnte problemlos als vintage chemical brothers track durchgehen, während die sich verlierenden sphären von in cars den einfluss von trance mit klaxons-style-vocals kombinieren.
the kat edit stable pops back up and throws a couple of biggies into the pot ... first up is conscious of my conscience, which shouldnt really need an intro whatsoever. an out and out all ends up classic and a track largely overlooked by the masses when first released on the album conscience back in 88. mr beedle makes this sound bigger than ever with some wicked but subtle extensions & tweaks along the way. on the flip we have time is running out. ashley beedle takes the stevie winwood original, strips it bollock naked and re-dresses this into a wonderful psyched-out disco funk soul rock odyssey masterpiece. over 10 minutes of pure balearic dancefloor goodness, pure n simple. big ! oh, and on a super loud 12 inch pressing..
firmly focussed on the dancefloor, the three-tracker is highly percussive and sample-ridden at heart. its a record where a sense of drama comes naturally, so to speak - be it the crackle of thunder in >thundercloud< or the brooding atmosphere in >out in the weather<. while the irish landscape is never far away, its the frenetic high-pitch of a children voice that informs the energy of title track >dramatic disposition<. techno with a pulse and heart and a twist!
seit der letztjährigen gründung des neoprenbox studios in basel wurden von einigen anwohnern merkwürdige vorkommnisse festgestellt. giftige sägezahnmelodien und schräge töne sorgten bei vorbeilaufenden passanten für euphorie und glücksmomente. nach der installierung von neuen boxensystemen durch die inhaber philippe alioth und steve cole ermittelte das seismologische amt innerhalb wilder produktionsnächte erschreckende ausschläge auf der richterskala. verstärkt wurden auch nach veröffentlichung des ersten remixes von ihrem benannten projet komsomol spontane tanzeinlagen, gestreckte arme und schreiende laute bei etlichen freunden der elektronischen tanzmusik erkannt. um diesem phänomen auf den grund zu gehen bittet die polizei um die mithilfe zum kauf des neuen komsomol releases namens plastok. in einigen tests - genannt white labels - wurden schon bemerkenswerte ergebnisse auf hiesigen tanzflächen festgestellt. auch in anderen versionen von sweet n candy & animal trainer führte das abspielen zu hemmungslosen momenten.

solid as it should be, a chuggy serious drive is shown, combined with well constructed raw hats loops. a very smooth disco influence is noticed on the vocal cuts and a funky >lead padding< in the background. the hotcomer leland mcwilliams is showing his interpretation of the track in a funky and tribal way. percussions and a shakers, combined with a funky baseline and a short house lead.
the first and most important of the four food groups is flapjacks. a great example of this is in bryan jones flapjackin jam low flow. the beats are as thick with butter milk and the bass is fluffy and melts in your ears. the second food group and a perfect complement to the first is syrup. czech republics arco gives us a sugery delight entitled first time, which can be poured or spread over just about everything from toast and flapjacks to spaghetti noodles. this tune has a nice and deep brown maple sound that like syrupy goodness, sweetens up every mix. the third basic food group is eggs, everyones favorite baby animal embryo treat. melbourne, australias house mopper d-t3ch, plucked the perfect egg from his prized chicken with his spoken word groove give & take. in this smooth bumpin scenario, the chicken gives the egg, and d-t3ch takes it and whips it up into a wonder house omelet. the last but certainly not the least of the 4 basic food groups is the bacon. bacon just makes everything better. oregons forrest avery & derty d definitely take the bacon with their super fried, crispy, salty smash hit the perfect beat. this tune does to a club what bacon does to your heart it clogs dance floors
you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work or at least shouldnt but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.
