just like different fishes can be found in different grounds, also the acoustic tales of the micronaut take place in different regions of the emotional landscape: sometimes warm, sometimes fresh – sometimes calm and stagnant, sometimes lively and floating. and just like all the fishes are connected by the water surrounding them, also this album has its connecting element: a very individual and independent groove. this groove comes with a lot of surprises. for instance, when a guitar chord from the acoustic band atmosphere of gruen- dling suddenly gets tangled up in a loop and introduces an unexpected but coherent change into the direction of broken, electronic beats. or when the emotional world music elements of schleie mix up with exciting halfstep rhythms. sophi- sticated arrangements, unusual instrumentations and intense emotions- these are the main attributes of friedfisch . though the experimental character of this work does not really aim the dance floor, it still keeps connected to this place: two sensitive remixes by mollono.bass represent the upbeat for an entire series, being exclusively released on vinyl.

spezial price!!! the creative hub of taron-trekka, as well as dj team and beat crafter furnishes an individual experience of togetherness, a complete understanding on a deeper level. they have this primal groove, around which everything rotates, internalized. they carry this groove with their own signature out into the world. this raw groove diamond is constantly sharpened without being completely polished on all facets. on the new fat release they stand for an electric-infected development, that allows only the solution to seep in: deep-in-the-peak! thereby the kraken clutches fiercely to the coral reefs of the soul. their vision of a living sound can thereby sometimes morph precipitously into a technoid, housy, fine-spirited sort and then at once jazzy. the required resolve as it pertains to the dance floor is hardly missed from taron-trekka. the desire-principle and body language mimic are most definitely functional. the big bang doesnt explode in the space, but rather in the heart. as a special treat, the fellas adorn the cover of their 12-inch from the illustrator, designer and photographer tine drefahl (http://www. tinedrefahl.com). thus is presented from freude am tanzen a worthy conclusion to a sometimes turbulent jubilee year, a complete package of artistic expression in tone and picture that is at home both on the mantel as well as the turntables.
