now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

the australian dj, producer and musician jad lee likes to have several irons in the fire all at the same time. for instance hes a member of mitzi (along charles murdoch and dominiqe bird), one half of the pan-pacific indiepop duo twiggy lashes and a solo artist known as jad & the ladyboy. under this moniker he releases music which can be described as soulful house with plenty of disco influences. for never come back down jad had singer mark borgazzi in his studio to cut a precious, groovy two-stepper into a genuine pop diamond. in order not to get only radio airplay, but also to be played out in gloomy underground clubs with extra fat subwoofers yannick provides his homicidal sexfactmix. with its untamed bassline and a milling-machine like synthesizer this feels like an unchecked punch to the gut. there will be blood on the dancefloor!

mario weise aka marlow ist definitiv kein newcomer mehr in dieser szene. er veröffentlichte bereits eine palette cluborientierter tanzmusik seit 1994. während der vergangenen 20 jahre bezauberte uns marlow mit releases auf prestigebehafteten deutschen labels, wie dem leipziger moon harbour recordings, dem berliner label konsequenz oder dem hamburger room with a view, um nur ein paar zu nennen. jetzt ist es an der zeit die karten neu zu mischen und marlow bei sonar kollektiv willkommen zu heißen. nach seinem remix für das kürzlich erschienene *re-set* von alex barck feat. pete josef, präsentiert er nun seinen ersten richtigen release auf dem berliner label. *backroom* ist ein verspieltes, bassgesteuertes sing-along im gewand von leichtfüßigem pop/house, was eher auf der heimischen anlage oder dem ipad erklingen wird und definitiv grenzüberschreitend die funkhäuser okkupiert. die b-seite beinhaltet einen weiteren herausragenden track, der den myteriösen namen *l4l (vertigo)* trägt.

growing further out, musical petals reaching out for the ethereal, aiming high! that is where blossom is going, and the next release in glorious vinyl is another firm step towards the establishment of the label. this time it is portuguese veteran mastercris delivering the goods, featuring a killer vocal contribution by the even sensual kathy diamond, one of maurice fultons partners in crime plus remixes from matthias vogt. exclusive white vinyl pressing of the buy on sight sort, dont sleep on this, no digital release is planned so far.

paskal & urban absolutes are celebrating the release of their debut album lux (released in november 2013) with a big bash, encompassing a special remix package and with an illustrious group of liked minded peers. same as with their own work credo of cross-city collaborating (paskal aka alex lives in berlin, urban absolutes aka adrian lives in essen) the twosome assembled half of germany for the first, now available 12inch of the lux remixes.

fred hush steps up for volume 8 in sonar kollektivs based on misunderstandings series.

the seventh episode of the based on misunderstanding series is true show-stopper: last summer the ultra hot duo manhooker(tomasz guiddo switala and sebastian mavin magassouba) digged itself together with paul bonomo aka snax (capatain comatose) in its studio to record with cloud 9 a veritable late summer hit. once their first 12inch on ostgut ton caused a burst of enthusiasm, the hype will be fuelled with this release. this is pop music at its best with lots of soul for the sophisticated dancefloor.

international future jazz-house-trax !!

after the well-received and genre-bending album that was last years ky do mar, studnitzky makes another wise move: by inviting two of the most sought-after remixers at the moment to rework two of the albums tracks the german jazz-trained trumpet and piano player shifts his music smartly towards club land.

fresh from his epic and celebratory focus on album, daniel dexter returns to poker flat with a bang. this release pulls together some blistering remixes of tracks that originally appeared on focus on - supplied by some of the hottest producers from the underground.

remixes von till von sein, paskal & urban absolutes & oliver frost

in january the debut album the damage is done by hot coins, the disco crossbreed project by danny berman (best known for his house productions as red rack em), was released. his personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of downtown new york sometime around the late seventies/early eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. its also a brilliant examination of todays club music.

producer/multi-instrumentalist stefan merse ulrich and singer/songwriter neve aka alexa voss are neve naive. and with the inner peace of cat and bird they just released on sonar kollektiv one of the most astonishing debut albums of the year.

the sixth record store day will take place. sonar kollektiv has two very special goodies in store: theres the limited 300 copies 12inch of the paskal & urban absolutes remix for jazzanovas >that night<.

produzent und multi-instrumentalist stefan merse ulrich und singer/songwriterein neve aka alexa voss mit hammerdebut, das little dragon mit micatone vereint....

on the occasion of the sixth record store day in april, sonar kollektiv releases for the first time a limited 300 copy special edition in celebration of the day, the vinyl and the record store. and it wouldnt be sonar kollektiv wouldnt we be treated with a very special goodie: the new shooting stars and new signings of the label, paskal and urban absolutes took a classic out of the extensive repertoire of the label to task, that night by jazzanova from 2001.

while fetsum is about to take the us by storm (after a california tour, in march hes going to perform at the sxsw festival in austin and at the pre-oscars party at the villa aurora in la) sonar kollektiv releases four seminal remixes of his song letters from damascus. one of the centre pieces of his current album the colors of hope is not describing the political situation in syria, its more of an autobiographical tale about the golden voiced german-eriteans life.

sonar kollektiv presents: the genius of phil gerus.with this brand new 6-track ep, the first release for gerus on a major label sonar kolletiv can lay claim to introducing a large talent to a wild audience.

mit freestyle lover vermengt berman gekonnt die schnittstellen von electro, postpunk, new wave und disco. genau so wie es seine vorbilder aus dem alles-geht-new york der späten 70er vorgemacht haben.

rebellion der treumer remixes.
after reworks by aril brikha, robag wruhme and jimpster we now present two further remixes by true purveyors of distinctive german electronic dance music: sieg ueber die sonne and roman flügel!

the loose series based on misunderstandings returns. after the last release in 2009 the series initiated by jazzanova dj alex barck based on his former club night at berlins weekend, we are now treated with its fourth installment.

nice price deal !!! es war liebe auf den ersten beat. liebestrunken kündigt sich zum 1. mal dieses jahr die ep der kollektiv ost jungs auf ihrem eigenen label an. ihr original von >love< sendet innige handküsse durch die lüfte, wohingegen >show me< herzzerreißende love letters from berlin verschickt. während die bunten bummler (8bit) aus mannheim wie ein dreckiger flirt, der einem so schnell nicht mehr aus dem kopf geht daher kommen, zeigt lula circus (acker records) auf typisch italienisch charmante art und weise ihre zuneigung. eine traumpärchenkonstellation mit der schmetterlinge-im-bauch-garantie!

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

this is the first of two 12inchs accompanying the jazzanova remix compilation upside down. the remix by dima studitsky on the b-side is a bonus not to be found on the compilation!

schwindelig from kollektiv turmstrasse was definitely the most successful track from their album rebellion der träumer... on the 12 inch vinyl remix ep vol.3 youll find three fresh remixes

the latest secret love 6 is accompanied again by a special ep. next to two out of the fifteen tracks off the compilation an exclusive remix by alex barck of unforscenes >dark souls< will be included.

sonar kollektivs inclination towards dubbed out pop/dance music is definitely no secret (see fat freddys drop or eva be). but with this brand new 7inch the berlin label hits the nail on the head. chicago-born jeremy sole is one of the program selectors at renowed la radio station kcrw and hosts a weekly party in santa monica where he blends afrobeat, funk, reggae, latin, brazilian and everything else under the sun!

na wen haben wir denn da? da kommt das kleine, niedliche reh >tilli< daher. mit im gepaeck das erste re(h)lease auf dem neuen berliner label >youre so sweet<. sowohl >traeumer< auf der a seite als auch >tilli< auf der b seite laeuten mit ihren housigen und melodischen klaengen den sommer ein. die erste pressung ist streng limitiert auf 200 exemplare, jedes ein unikat mit handbemalten covern von kindern im alter von 5-10 jahren. bleibt nur noch zu sagen >es ist fruehling, wunderbar. nicht mehr lang und der sommer ist da<
