darauf kann man sich verlassen: wo joey negro draufsteht, ist tanzmusik drin. seit der 13-jŠhrige david russell lee 1977 in einer tv-sendung den song -boogie nights- von heatwave hšrte, ist er vom disco-virus infiziert. und den ist er bis heute nicht mehr losgeworden. obwohl -produced with love- erst sein zweites eigenstŠndiges album nach -universe of love- von 1993 ist, hat joey negro in den vergangenen dekaden mŠchtige spuren im dance-bereich hinterlassen. nicht nur produzierte er zahlreiche chartbreaker, dancefloor-kracher und remixe unter diversen pseudonymen (jakatta, raven maize, doug willis, prospect park u.v.a.m.), vor allem war er fŸr grace jones, diana ross, deep dish, lionel richie, mariah carey, tears for fears, ultra nate, masters at work, roy ayers, blaze und roger sanchez aktiv. hinzu kommen kollaborationswerke, bandprojekte und eine reihe herausragender kompilationen wie die -house masters-- serie, -remixed with love-, -disco not disco- oder -kings of house-. kurz: ob mainstream oder underground, joey negro ist ein mann der superlative, bei dem einfach jeder beat, jedes hook und jeder loop perfekt sitzt.

panorama bar resident nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner gets to work on his second solo album on ostgut ton, connecting the territories of house music with the ease of alt-pop. work as in labor. an axiom that fuels the capitalist system just as the techno/house scene economy says that one needs to keep oneself busy to make a living. as a musician, things are complicated of course. itÕs a long way from the romantic idea of creating music simply for the sake of art to becoming a full time musician. those who have accomplished this feat often find themselves in a professional loop of writing the music, producing it, promoting it (with an info text like this), releasing it and then hopefully selling it. after leaving his full time job as ostgut tonÕs label manager in 2012, nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner went fully freelance, focusing on his musically diverse, deep and dynamic djing in and outside berghainÕs panorama bar, but more importantly spending more time in the studio. the result was his critically acclaimed debut album folk (ostgut ton, 2015), various 12Ò releases and remixes, and now his sophomore lp, work, which, more than ever, lays out his refined production skills and his talent to work the machines until they reveal their inner ghosts: nine new songs that now dodge the dance floor, then fully embrace it.

pilocka krach still means nothing but pilocka noise. sheÕs the charming queen of berlins post techno underground and a true recording & perfoming artist. her new release on her very own imprint greatest hits international is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with mexico, detroit and her hometown roots in berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. pilocka krach is ãsugar caneÒ & ãthe lost amigosÒ, her band and all at once. her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. each Ôn everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. she took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. you canÕt listen to it without moving. pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition.

having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendenÕs signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohenÕs aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, d¿dpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

ten walls debut album ÒqueenÓ the long awaited debut album from the highly talented dance music producer and artist ten walls called -queen- will be available from the mid of march in a double cd package. ÒqueenÓ is an organic album consisting out of two parts. first part unravels into a story told through the fusion of strong classical influences, nu jazz, down-tempo electronica, indie & house. itÕs destined to captivate attention with the emphasis on feeling through listening. second part on the other hand is oriented towards feeling through movement and better reflects the side of ten walls known to the dancefloors. this album as one piece, just divided into two physical cdÕs. the package of the album looks like a book - a piece of art. the book includes photos, reflecting each track. Òi have pictured these musical pieces in my mind, as itÕs natural for the artist to exceed the professional competence and search for additional forms that would supplement your work, making it single piece of art.Ó - adds marijus (ten walls). the combination of arts is a very important thing to be noticed, each of them has itÕs space, place and role in the album. poetry and lyrics, photography / visual arts and music, altogether they make ÒqueenÓ more than just a music album. ten walls also made collaborations with very wide and different spectrum of musicians during the creation of his debut album ÒqueenÓ. renowned maestro petras geniu_as, good old friend vytautas sondeckis who contributed with a cello masterpiece, bass guitar domas aleksa, drummer marijus aleksa, singers jonatan bŠckelie, alx , monika liu, marijusÕ spiritual friend and teacher andrew, conductor ri?ardas _umila and nonet performers

Ôjoy is bbfs fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. with the help of canadian poet-singer beaver sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, bbf explore what the band-members describe as Ôpost-religious themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. this makes it without any doubt bbfs Ônietzsche album. following on from their latest album Ômiami (2013) bbf keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a Ôclassical new music ensemble to resemble more closely an Ôexperimental rock band. with much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy: krautrock, punk, drumnbass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other Ô-wave from the 80s. with each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, bff succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or clichŽ. instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic musics emotional range

sweet addiction is yuksekÕs great studio comeback. its 5 elegant tracks signal his return as a main player. the maxi, which prefigures a 3rd album, features the greek singer monika (make it easy) and the duo her (on the1st single, sweet addiction). yuksekÕs characteristic sound, midway between post-disco, house and pop, shines through on its various tracks. even more than on his last album, living on the edge of time, yuksek shows his talent as a singer. his new melodies are sunnier than before, his beats and production more subtle. airy, but still conveying a touch of hedonism in its most club-friendly sounds, this ep is a foretaste of a sparkling new opus. bio : at the start of the 2000s, yuksek released a series of maxis and then two albums: away from the sea (2009) and living on the edge of time (2011).those records laid the foundations of a sound that uncompromisingly combined pop, disco and electro. then in 2013, he set up his own label: partyfine. it is now home to artists such as clarens, weekend affair, get a room!, jean tonique, juveniles,tepr and villa.

with the release of fourth album crown posada, smoove & turrell cement their position as one of the uks most exceptional soul acts with their innate ability to deliver hard times social commentary in a dancefloor friendly medium. proudly working class as a band this album celebrates love, life, politics and the lows and the highs of growing up and raising families in the north east of england. gritty and powerful, the band make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else not for them the sharp suits and trumpet twirls of some of their peers. instead you get a wildly talented and vital crew of larger than life geordie lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become figureheads within the uk.

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

3 cds with the finest and rarest master! incl. the jacksons, harvey mason, marvin gaye, michael wycoff, gladys knight and the pipes, george duke, the isley brothers. includes unreleased edited versions by dj reverend p and a rare mix by tom moulton

les sans pattes is the rock band of robert combas (world renowned contemporary painter and creator of the free figuration movement) and lucas mancione. both are all-rounder, multi-instrumentalists, rigorous and nutty at the same time. they handle plastic arts, are musicians, video makers, actors, performers in short, complete artists. theyve got a rich and eclectic repertoire of more than 100 songs, and no limit: youÕll hear them moving from rock to techno, from a love song to punk, with the same dexterity in each and every register. if you have the chance to be in paris around june 24th, theyll deliver a live performance during michel houellebecqÕs exhibition, at the palais de tokyo, to inaugurate the release of their album. tracklist dvd: 1.ta peau (feat gael manangou) 2.animal, cuir noir 3.une fin de quelque chose 4.la danse de lamour 5.ta peau (live)

diesen sommer veršffentlicht dev hynes freetown sound, das dritte album unter seinem aktuellen alias blood orange. aus einem reichen oeuvre an techniken und referenzen schšpfend, entfaltet sich das album fast wie ein theaterstŸck, beschwšrt unerwartete stimmungen, stimmen und zeitalter herauf. freetown, die geburtsstadt von devs vater und hauptstadt sierra leones ist titelgebend. inhaltlich ist es das bislang persšnlichste und auch politischste album von blood orange. verhandelt werden themen wie rasse, religion, gender und sexismus. musikalisch lie§ sich hynes von den alben der dust brothers inspirieren: its very cut and paste. like my version of paul s boutique. it kind of plays like a long mixtape.

in 2015 london elektricity surprised us all with his first album in over five years. are we there yet? more than deserved its influx of praise, now the med school team has taken on the label boss latest masterpiece. the med school scans lp examines, dissects and transforms each track, injecting every members unique persona into the critically acclaimed original.

after the hip hop after all tour, guts confirms in an idea more than this in the back of his head to make an album where the proportions 80% samples and programming / live 20% would be reversed. ok! an album to push further his musical exploration, go to the electro-funk, afro-disco, space jazz. add choir here, the talkbox there, play a monstrous bassline, a fiery sax solo instruments or let slip only several minutes: guts did nothing forbidden, opened the doors of the studio, broke the unlocked windows and vents so that no breath or vibration is left out.

echospace man stephen hitchell has been devoting much time to his variant project over the last couple of years, releasing no less than nine, straight-to-tape explorations in 2015 alone.

a statement on the fragile beauty in every moment. marsen jules releases his concept album shadows in time end of may 2016 on oktaf records/ kompakt. the generative composition is released as static cd version and in more than 300 variations on usb flash drives and vinyl pressings in a limited edition.

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

mikkel metal was the first artist on echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. after many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album. more than 7 years after his last long-player album mikkel metal returns with a new album for echocord. bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with earlier output. we are presented with 10 tracks that all evolve with around a melancholic melodic framework. while there is clearly a nod to detroit and another to dub- techno, the overall impression is consistently and unmistakably the sound of mikkel metal. a hypnotic, very enjoyable and thorough return from the danish artist.

the idea that france once had a genius and let him go to california where he was more welcome and appreciated than in paris is, in the digital area, a trivial issue. every single web entrepreneur heads towards the silicon valley to develop his ideas. during the 70s, this was less ordinary. back then, it was another area, music, which witnessed the departure of a very talented guy for the united states, a country that quickly understood he was a star.

the first years, from his first album in 1976 to his 7th in the middle of the 80s, were fuelled with an exemplary sense of creativity and a free-spirit vision. against everyoneÕs advice, cerrone was never reluctant to compose long and pure trance disco tracks, not exactly radio-friendly at the time, but which did incredibly well because they encapsulated the hedonism of the day and were far more than a trend. for instance, love in c minor and supernature have become unbeatable classics, featured regularly in the best pop, disco or dance selections. such a success would have burnt most of the othersÕ wings, whose career would have been ruined. at the beginning of the 80s, when he decided to unleash his creativity on stage, cerrone managed to rebound with you are the one studio album.

med school presents creative potential drum & bass! flawless impressively blends elements of liquid d&b, jungle, half-step, hip-hop and more ragged rhythms

it is a smart and airy groove of atoms in space that rules this mesmerizing album, leading off with an irresistibly deconstructed downbeat monstrosity deceptively tagged as the modern hit midget as opposed to actually being a giant. one giant of seven, to be precise: safe in harbour are the seven giants of free funk who proceed through a variety of way-out psychedelicacies. which increase in flavour under headphones. the wane of villalobos and loderbauers free-floating energy of their re:ecm work is more than offset here by the increase in rhythmic push through sensual syncopation and eruptive bass energy. the duo is the impetus in perlons great new swinging machine.

how much do you really know about nina kraviz? shes a russian techno dj, an accomplished producer, one of dance musicÕs breakthrough names of the last five years. true enough, but theres so much more to her story than that. shes one of electronic musics most interesting characters, someone who has stuck to her musical guns since day one, someone who has wide-ranging roots that run deep in the past, yet shes also the embodiment of the future. her signature sound is a raw blend of house and techno with a very acidic feel. if that feels very now, kraviz has a lot to do with it, which is why she was asked to mix the latest instalment of !k7Õs landmark Ôdj kicksÕ series.

when it comes to electronic music and techno music there are few cities that have conserved and upheld the foundational roots laid down by its pioneers more so than berlin. one of the center-most characters in this movement is the inimitable der dritte raum. aydszieyalaidnem is the latest offering from kruegersder dritte raum project.
