a1: just cant get enough - funky track. really cool disco feel, easy going. proper funky vibe, cool bass and a great vocal!
b2: someday - really smooth track. killer vocals, nice bass and beautiful brass! awesome!

peters love of obscure disco and house shows in this solo album - wide ranging influences have gone into the musical hot-pot. take the slo-mo lazy groove of lead track and opener love is the key . this sets the sonic palette, laid back, underground and understated (but cucumber cool) throughout. deliberately absent are the commercial and pseudo-poppy sounds from the visti and meyland 2010 debut. this record is a club affair, less in your face and more all around you . for example lost in space is one part elastic groove, one part melodious, enveloping ambience and one part progressive disco groove. tracks such as i m out the door , bubble bubble and drinking in darkness are more direct, straight dance floor booty-shaking grooves. as is what you would expect from the man who has dj stamped firmly into his dna.

super disco album von raw chicago bis ganz zart und vor allem ganz deep...

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

part iii ? manipulation musik. manipulation musik is the darkest and most cinematic piece on this collection of eps. delicate manipulated melodies and melancholic strings moves in and out of a crackling and distorted soundscape, telling an experimental sound tale with a sad ending. on b-side redshape (present, delsin) makes a remix solely using sounds from the original. redshape described his tape dub version like this: ?think disco dub, plonk & pain?. not much to add to that ? it kind of says it all. enjoy!

two cover versions taken from the essential album gitano real. >i believe in miracles< is an overwhelming take on the jackson sisters classic in a rumba funk fashion. party stomper! and on the other side, a longer trip departing from mcfadden and whiteheads seminal >aint non stoping us now< and touching the revered latin disco version of charanga 76, only to end up as a fabulous clap-driven rumba stormer. two very necessary sun-soaked tunes for any self-respecting dj on neat transparent yellow vinyl. and yes, its a limited edition!

whether you find any truth in that or not, one thing is for sure, the new single by the printer-galactic troopers of mungol is one hell of a ride through the sonic wonders of discofied art involving one dudes rather merciless meeting with the (un)godly. it only happens occasionally, but it does happen. you have probably heard rumors, or read about it somewhere. maybe it even happened to you? with >moon jocks n prog rocks<, mungolian jetset have put it - literally - on the record: abductions by beatmongering disco aliens with prog-rock fetishes are on the rise, sometimes with hilariously fatal consequences, such as this tale of one unfortunate individuals meeting with the more funky forces of the cosmos.

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!
