tasteful nudes is honored to host the *smalltown blues ep* by christian beisswenger, whose music as cb funk, arto mwambe, and the citizens band has been hugely influential on the labels sound. the eps four tracks showcase four compelling facets of the citizens band sound: the ethereal stomp of the title track, *disrupted*s livewire techno synthesis, the modular adventures of *eddys theme, and a dark, mischievous italo workout on *freefall*.

praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10 from label swami, 7 citizens. >do your head in< is charged with a side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it’s as playful as it is tormenting. it invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole. >stride< is an altogether less hairy affair. its honest. its honest about the fact you are going to need a safe word. an acid romp with unwavering purpose.

killer! praterei asserts its septenary in confidence with a double aa-side collaboration between label proprietor 7 citizens and berlin based producer rydim.

the citizens bands second instalment for ramonas favourite label hollows their long lasting love affair. christian beisswengers (cb funk, one half of arto mwambe) is nothing less than dealing with the demise of an empire. >broken rome< is a codeine trip through early nu groove rave tracks as well as an ode to junior vasquez at the helm of the sound factory seen and heard through frosted glass. >densed< on the other hand tips its toes into the current deep house stream with an arto-mwambe-like hook and a thumping bass line. the spaces in-between those rudiments are taken up by the idm finger exercise and jewel that is >into<: ottoman dancing!

after the first praterei release that received great feedback allover and is now sold out almost everywhere, here’s the follow up. again two strong bottomheavy house cuts are featured. the artists wish to stay anonymous, so the names here are synonyms. all we can say that michael ferragosto is a producer that has also released for the chicago based mathematics label and 7 citizens is a promising up and coming producer from austria. 500 copies pressed only from this one!

deep space orchestras use of weapons label has always been a reliable source of analogue-heavy left of centre deep house, with each split ep, featuring tracks from a variety of like-minded producers, featuring a range of must-have nuggets. this expansive sixth release, with eight tracks spread across two slabs of wax, is no different. dso s beautiful and surprisingly fragile -mendoza- leads the way, with 7 citizens calming, alien house groover -fatum- close behind. arguably best of all, though, is other worlds -coldname eld-, a sparse and bassy concoction blessed with some brilliant, head high style pianos. it is, though, all good, with further impressive contributions from the detroit-included haku.

the new-comers collective citizens above suspicion delivers a solid 4-trackers, in which 2 tracks are as an homage to the beloved detroit underground. effective & functional material for djs, at whatever time of the night. 808 & 909 are the key on this release

ramona is pretty nervous to welcome a new name to her ever-growing happy family. in fact, its actually an old band member. christian beisswenger alias cb funk alias one half of arto mwambe is not exactly one you would call a stranger. for >77 reasons< he debuts as the citizens band with some novel sounds on risky grounds. in love with details, fragile sounds, little tricks and with a fine ear for the action, the band leader tiptoes into deep bleepy house just enough to call >west 42nd< exactly that. >77 reasons< however plays around with a memorable little melody, a skanking lead and some boom sonics. whatever you want to call it, ramona is fine with it. orson and kane would be proud.

praterei are back with their third instalment, again one for the heads and the hips alike. as per, pseudonyms are the order of the day and 7 citizens returns with more chicago synthestry in the form of >quietus<. the remix comes from force/emerge and proffers a gritty low slung alternative. as for the conundrums, 7 citizens has recently collaborated on one side of a huge double 12 inch release with one of the most in demand producers on the scene. and force/emerge...is copper mayfield too obvious? check!

to celebrate the 4th robots release, we locked martin kemp in a small room and told him to make a club smasher like >citizens dub<. a week later, we let him out, only to find he had spent his time making more weird house mutations and sampling tribal men. we wouldnt want him any other way. djs showing love include loefah, brodinski, seiji, jackmaster, joy orbison, ben ufo and ma1

we are seemingly headed towards dark and confusing times. the tension inside of the people is rising so instead of putting more gasoline to the fire and fueling the rage i submit to you these sounds of peace. not black music or white music. not borders or class. just music. it’s time to stop labeling music, just as it is time to stop labeling humans as 1st class and 2nd class citizens. if you can ignore my broken voice and if you could only look past my music’s imperfections, you would feel me instead of hearing me and maybe then you could get a small glimpse of the hope that the people feel when they are at my concerts and understand the idea that many great men and women before me like bob marley and john lennon had, that we are all one. the idea that had brought hope and countless others. the hope that makes them scream: peace forever. (charles x)

first up is dankles *isabigting*. dankle has been steadily making a name for himself over the past couple of years, as part of offmenut records, for his solo production and as one half of phatworld, alongside tich from the squire of gothos. *isabigting* is straight up mutant bassline, with his warped, glass-like bass and hip-hop vocal.

discerning austrian label and party of the same name, praterei, kick off 2013 with their sixth vinyl release, this time a various artists ep leaning on the well respected likes of chicago skyway, ethyl, 7 citizens and snuff crew. since the label started in 2010, deep house of an unpredictable nature has been the mo, and that continues again here...
