hello. this is pastamusik speaking. for more then 10 years the munich based label issues with constant inconstancy special musical tales from the underground. and since not all stories told and not all songs played and yet not all cows have returned home, we are ready to add another chapter within this tradition. pastamusik proudly presents with “collage” by macchina nera it’s first long player. the talented munich based dj and producer macchina nera already draw some attention with his first release in 2005 (under a different alias). followed by several releases on different labels around the world he finally found a solid home base with pastamusik, that resulted in a number of successful releases. so it was a logic consequence in taking the next step and to compile the highlights from his last two years productions in his first album. munich meets munich. or even better – munich meets the world. then all of the sudden tracks of macchina nera became regulars in the sets of various djs around the globe. and this is where he starts with his first album and tells with his unique symbiotic style of house, disco, techno and funk little musical tales from the cities and it’s clubs, from all night dance, glimmering dancefloors and dark corners, from big love and big dramas…..even if it only lasts for one night. and as versatile and diversified like these nights are the consistently energetic tracks, full of unexpected turns and small details that make it worth to listen a little closer enough said for now, let the music speak for itself. the album will be available in vinyl, cd and digital release, available at real record stores as well as in the digital world of internet. here comes the soundtrack for spring, summer, autumn an of course for winter. timeless! beautiful!. thank you!.kisses! your pastamusik.

top tier hawaiian disco boogie masterpiece available for the first time on 45. it took us 3 years to persuade nohelani cypriano to let us do *lihue* , a brilliant fairly obscure disco boogie track but if you are a fan and you keep trying your enthusiasm for the music pays off. not only are we are just delighted to present *lihue* on 7 for the first time (previously lp only) but to top it off the flip is a track from a very rare hawaiian 45 also by nohelani called *playing with fire*, which sounds like a party track straight out your favorite 80s film. i rate it, which means it is good! its like rare-groove scene all over again but with new records.

red rack em is a name well known to wolf fans as he launched the first wolf white release with his deep house classic in love again. he is a master at reworking dusty grooves into peaking house bangers. that is the best way to describe this ep too. do or die is a straight up peak of the night disco jam. big sample, big bass, big track. ooh ooh ooh leans on the soulful side of his sample selections and its wonky but funky composition never fails to turn heads. the final track live at music hall is straight up deep. so, something for everyone, no messing.

the wondrous odd appointment quartet (john swing, marieu, emg and lucretio) returns with 4 tracks of sleazy urban funk cut directly from outdated ferrous tape. a plastic torpedo crafted with household hardware engineering, shuffling mid-west cracks and british breaks with sinked bass and vitrolic disco balls.

uncanny valley and permanent vacation are joining forces for an uncanny vacation! there has always been a lively exchange between dresden and munich and both labels are known for releasing a wide variety of music so it was only natural to team up for a joint release. the record starts off with permanent vacation-regular and uk-veteran dmx krew and his “astro logical” which is as sharp and crisp as electro can go. the bass line strikes hard but he also squeezes some great melancholic synth lines out of his machines. after that, uncanny valley’s sandrow m finally gives access to the much in demand live version of “prayervan”, a tune that everybody has been singing along during his live sets. on the flipside, jacob korn (who already released on both labels) hands in “eieiei” which rises on a percussion-heavy drum basement to a discoid house stomper thanks to an irresistible sample straight from an obscure flea market find. last but not least, drvg cvltvre from the netherlands delivers a tropical house jam. “see you again” is riding on a funky disco bass line and creates a warm and cosy atmosphere with a whole bag of sound ideas. alexander dorn aka credit 00 adds his graphical talents to the record’s sleeve with a brilliant tribute to 1990s adventure video games.

like many of the greatest italo-disco records, tony espositos 1983 double a-side je-na/pagaia is ridiculously rare. put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. this welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12inch glory, mixed with clubs in mind by mariano boncaldo of klein & m.b.o fame. its the a-side thats arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay heavy guitars. theres a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to pagaia, which sounds a little like a long lost tullio de piscopo record, all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.

last year saw the emergence of london disco outfit payfone. their debut 12 inch, titled *international smark* became something of an underground hit with lovers of disco, electro and balearic alike, sounding like a meeting between metro area, abba and 80s video game sensation *outrun*. now signed to golf channel, payfone is back with a weighty boogie inspired 3 track e.p. packed with muscle and modern pop sensibility. this second release comes co-mixed to perfection by in flagrantis sasa crnobrnja.

relax your body is a killer slice of narcotic, mid-tempo italian heaviness from way back in the late 80s. coming out on italys full time label, an italo disco imprint that embraced the burgeoning house scene in italy, and finding favor across europe and the uk with djs like andrew weatherall, its klf sampling groove and spoken, authoritative, mantra-like lyrics no doubt sound tracked some of the headiest moments in the corners of darkened, dry ice filled dance-floors throughout 1989 and beyond.

1st outstanding release for archivio fonograficos sub label borderline editions! remastered official reissue of the original version dated 1983 on best records. suicidal by amin peck is one of the most intense italo disco songs ever. for almost 10 minutes, the listener experiences some very light male vocals tossed on top of some extremely deep synthesizer rhythm s concurring with all sorts of experimental noises and sounds.

*bapteme de l air* keeps the pressure up throughout as it steadily rolls out its sharpened kick and thick, propulsive snare before reaching its rattling, mechanical apogee. *ready pour le tour* unfurls behind off-kilter clicks, tightly swung hats and sax stabs while astute dynamics build a rich and cavernous atmosphere. the disco tinged *plein les mirettes* sets a rousing warm-up tone from the off with a dense kick and clap pinning down flecks of crowd chatter and shimmering metallic signals before dana ruhs spectral revision of ready pour le tour casts a murky glow over the original, blooming until its close with thickening strings and addictive knocks and claps.

when chrome canyon (stones throw) and saarid (throne of blood), formed duo soft touch in brooklyn in 2012, their intent was to make adventurous pop music. for them, adventures encompass an array of sounds including vintage disco, 90s r+b, golden era nyc hip hop and house music. their latest release on brooklyn based dither down records, is *swim in the night*. joining them this time around is norwegian vocal powerhouse, silya. her songs have been covered by vanessa hudgens and she has duetted with cee lo green and she has done everything from cabaret to rock n roll. and it is all topped off by a trio of great remixes from chrome canyon, mocean worker and walker & royce. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

born to trinidadian and finnish parents in sweden, jean-louis huhta took an early interest in percussion punk, african, disco, dub, detroit techno and chicago acid were all early sonic influences. couple these genres with an interest in percussion, drums, synthesizers and skateboarding and you are half-way into describing the sound of dungeon acid.

*one hand in the air* bezieht sich beispielsweise auf *so appalled* von kanye west - manfred mann hat dessen original nun neu arrangiert. mit the prodigy und disco boys verfährt manfred mann genauso. zudem liest sich die gästeliste beeindruckend: till brönner spielt auf jedem zweiten stück trompete, kris kristofferson leiht einem stück seine stimme und kanye west ist natürlich auch zu vernehmen. zudem wagt sich manfred mann an neuinterpretationen von klassikern wie *light my fire* oder *we will rock you* - absichtlich stücke, die weltweit hinlänglich bekannt sind. manfred mann erklärt: *gerade weil jeder die stücke in- und auswendig kennt, habe ich in meinen interpretationen die optimale freiheit. wenn ich passagen weglasse oder neu arrangiere, denkt der hörer diese ja trotzdem mit*. neuinterpretationen - von bob dylan bis bruce springsteen - haben manfred manns gesamte karriere geprägt, *lone arranger* führt diese tradition somit fort. und keine frage: das album bleibt bei aller konzeption typisch manfred mann, nicht zuletzt weil die spielfreude am keyboard vernehmbar ist.

reissue of a 1986 italo-disco classic.
accept no imitations, this is a genuine reissue from the label who gave us this now-legendary italo maxi-single back in 1986. often discussed in hushed tones among italo and disco enthusiasts mirko galli s most successful release tapped into the british songwriting/pop dynamics with both tracks while retaining full focus on the dancefloor with heavily synthetic grooves that refuse to quit. -when i let you down- is a visage-style love story blessed with intricate melodic layers and big catchy vocals. meanwhile -boogie tonight- is all about the metallic arpeggio, a nagging hook and future-minded arrangement twists that foretold the drama of house music before it even happened. a serious document, this.
