oddball space disco/funk tracks, composed between 1970 and 1985. big tip! a master of the mixing board, from the late 60s until the 90s bernard estardy was the wizard of french musical recordings. as head of cbe studios, he shaped everything from gŽrard mansets concept albums to claude franois hit singles, franoise hardys delicate tear-jerkers and michel sardous soul-stirrers. this giant had his hand in the whole range of mainstream french music by making his studio a veritable playground for experimentation. his legendary album la formule du baron, released in 1969, and the eight lps of production music he made between 1974 and 1978 for tele music are vivid proof. in the cbe studio, which she runs today, his daughter julie estardy discussed his singular career.
like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.
having co-compiled two albums, the real sound of chicago and the real sound of chicago and beyond for bbe, dj and producer mark grusane steps out of the shadows to present the real sound of mark grusane.
a highly personal selection of modern soul, disco and a little touch of boogie, these rare tracks have all been respectfully edited, chopped up or extended by mark himself. apart from the odd private vinyl pressing, or occasionally handing an edit over to close friends and djs such as fellow bbe artist sadar bahar, mark has never before made these tracks available (despite the throng of people waiting around to ask each time he finishes a set).
noch immer steht der name nightmares on wax fŸr eine einzigartige mischung aus hip hop und soul, aus dub und club-sounds und auf shape the future klingt diese nun schon Ÿber jahrzehnte hinweg perfektionierte gratwanderung so flŸssig und schlŸssig wie nie zuvor. inspiriert von zahllosen dj-sets und studio-sessions in ganz unterschiedlichen ecken der welt, untermauert nightmares on wax mit diesem neuesten sound-update abermals seine ausnahmestellung in der elektronischen musiklandschaft. auf die bereits veršffentlichte erste auskopplung -back to nature-, die mit schamanistisch klingenden vocals die verbindung zwischen mensch und mutter erde adressierte, folgte die brandneue single citizen kane, fŸr die george evelyn als vokalgŠste mozez und allan kingdom (u.a. kanye west, flume) an seine seite geholt hat, und die belegt, was fŸr eine reise und entwicklung george im verlauf seiner einflussreichen karriere zurŸckgelegt hat. indem er noch mehr als zuvor auf tiefschŸrfenden, in gospel-sounds getrŠnkten hip-hop setzt und seine ganze erfahrung als producer durchschimmern lŠsst, trŠgt der neue track noch immer den unverkennbaren klanglichen stempel von nightmares on wax.
without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

das sechskšpfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist fŸr ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, dafŸr fallen spielfreude und selbstverstŠndnis auf sympathische weise grš§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal fŸr den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einflŸssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die tŸr zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) šffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die bŸhne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur glŸcklich macht.

CD 13.10.17
there is a long-standing love affair between dj harvey and pikes, ibiza. as well as coming back for his third consecutive Ômercury risingÕ residency, the legendary ÔdjsÕ dj has been appointed Ôcultural attachŽÕ for pikes, meaning his magic touch and feel-good presence will create even more special moments at pikes this summer, including the launch of new label, pikes records.
in 2015 dj harvey made his hugely anticipated return to ibiza and made pikes his home for his mercury rising debut, a concept inspired by the beauty of the real ibiza, the incredible history of pikes and a genuine love for music. the love, the dancing, the music and the balearic spirit perfectly and poetically encapsulated by dj harvey has seen mercury rising widely recognised as the most special night to embrace the island in over a decade.
the next step in the harvey and pikes story sees him launch pikes records Ð the first record label founded by pikes owners and ibiza rocks co-founders andy mckay and dawn hindle. on the label, harvey explains: i see so many avenues to work together to release music, everything from live recordings from ibiza rocks and pikes, mix tapes, original productions, showcasing new artists, theres all sorts of avenues to open up. with the finer details still under wraps, its safe to say fans can look forward to the first release being harveys very own mercury rising compilation. but what can we expect from the third instalment of mercury rising? putting it quite simply, just a serious good time really says harvey.
