as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

the time has come for the world to experience the power of the golem. each release will be around a specific theme. for the first one, the golem dig 3 gems from overseas sumak is an epic space funk track from the middle east recorded in the 70s! and never pressed on a 12 inch vinyl! klout is an edit of a reggae tune from the other side of the world high infectious groove! and pyramide is a disco/balearic arabian song from late 70s.
