off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

just in time for the australian summer, sydneys indie-electronic-popettes, convaire bring the first and title tune from their highly anticipated debut ep, the new you. equal measures quiet childhood nostalgia and barefooted summer festival romance, the new you is a sparkling indication of what convaire do so exceptionally well - the art of creating synth-happy, 80s inspired, chill-sweet pop songs. inspired by the likes of talking heads, friendly fires and phoenix, convaire were first given airtime by local sydney radio heroes, fbi radio. since then, the four-turned-five piece released their first single gate track in september 10 to national airplay and gushing reviews. their exceptional reputation was vindicated whilst winning a triple j unearthed initiative, which saw the band play alongside delorean, kele (bloc party) and 2manydjs at sydneys iconic dance festival, parklife. two singles, over one hundred shows and a few tambourine shakes later future classic saw potential in john toweys vocal likening to the cures robert smith and the energy of the synth-loving slattery sisters. the new you ep is available in a 7 inch vinyl package + 5 track bonus cd, which is exciting enough to warrant a shoe shuffle and a couple of hand claps.

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

the labeldebute from be that as it may is served by ricardo esposito and michael nadje, with friendly support from luke hess.
the a-side of the record is the epic title track >nieves<, that in a straight way controls the nightly events on the basement floors. nieves is without a doubt taking each and every clubber on a mind trip. thanks to the drums in various arrangements, in combination with the heavy bass, nieves generates a forcing groove that even makes the floor dance.
luke hess reshapes nieves in a consisting and open way. with the given resources the remix is coming to an unsurpassed dynamic, which through percussion and dubby chord patterns is impressively direct. with this interpretation hess respectfully completes the release with sovereignty. vivantes is a classic tool which builds on the foundations of dub and rhythm. through the strongly repetitive pattern vivantes developes to something meditative, grounding the listener at the end of a journey of this extended play.
it is what it is.

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.
