the take kontrol album by roni size

the prodig s seventh studio album, no tourists will be released on their take me to the hospital label via bmg. in a career approaching 30 unpredictable, uncompromising years, the prodigy have become that rare artist whose influence can be felt across all walks of life. continually defining (and re-defining) electronic music, the band have clocked up a staggering 6 number 1 albums, played to many millions around the world, and remain as relevant and respected as ever. though much has changed in the musical and social landscape, what remains a constant is the prodigy s resolute focus on following their own path, their own way. this, perhaps, is the true meaning of no tourists , and in 2018 the anger, urgency, and irrepressible spirit of the prodigy has no doubt never been more needed

das debŸtalbum von kelela ist ein vielschichtiges, oszillierendes portrŠt, das sich zugleich in die vergangenheit und in die zukunft des r&b erstreckt. was so nach relativ stabilen genregrenzen und zugehšrigkeiten klingt, wird in ihren hŠnden grenzenlos: take me apart steht fŸr sich, es ist ein neues element, das nach eigenen regeln funktioniert, sich aber doch einreihen lŠsst in einen kanon von klangverwandten jŸngeren albummeilensteinen. ehrlichkeit und verletzlichkeit waren schon immer die eckpfeiler ihrer musik auch wenn sie sich gelegentlich gepanzert in avantgardistischen electronica-schichtungen prŠsentiert, und auf take me apart geht sie nun sogar noch deutlich weiter, was den emotionalen tiefgang, wucht und gehalt ihrer message und auch die breite des klanglichen spektrums angeht. nach den lobeshymnen fŸr ihre hallucinogen ep, feature-beitrŠgen fŸr ihre langjŠhrige verbŸndete solange, danny brown oder zuletzt den gorillaz, und nach supportauftritten fŸr the xx, legt kelela mit take me apart den grundstein fŸr eine sehr vielversprechende karriere.

disco-phantasien, dunkles kabarett, die klŠnge des klassischen house und der elektronica, die freude und das leid des puren pop: der titel des albums stammt von einem irischen volkslied, das durch the dubliners populŠr gemacht und von ihrem vater gesungen wurde. ÒitÕs me and my rhythm. itÕs very simple, really - but very complicated.

jk soul had a new vision for his new album take me higher. he wanted to show the world his wide range of production skills and his capability of moving through the different styles of electronic music with class. not a lover of sticking to any stylistic niche to mark his territory. electronic music was always his playground so now house, dubstep, drum & bass, together with touches of reggae and soul are equal parts in his new creations all of which are there to enrich his unique and famous hip hop based beats and soul influenced trip hop trademarks. lala pumpkins voice moves the listener far away, across the european borders and in the west side of the atlantic, sounding so fresh and full of emotion but at the same time strong and certain of the capabilities that carries like a funk diva.

two years have passed and much has changed since gui boratto shot to prominence with his kompakt debut >chromophobia<. a much needed spot of colour amidst the minimal milieu, guis mixture of fierce production skills and a blissful pop sensibility have characterized his trajectory to the techno heavyweight before us today
