pop ambient 2012 begins in an unusually new but nevertheless somehow familiar fashion. mohn with manifesto is the opening act. a manifest of slowness. a slowness that jörg burger and wolfgang voigt have taken up as new mission. mohn is their new ambient-grunge-down-beat project, scheduled to depart on its official musical journey to middle earth early 2012. what follows is equally surprising: the old kompakt swashbuckler superpitcher is taking part for the very first time.
cd version of this album included.

apartment records 2nd release comes from irelands analogue-obsessed soul assassins, tr one. on the a-side, drum dance is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duos machines. the b-side serves up 2 alternative takes. john heckles debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the originals drums while layering it with wistful synths, before juju & jordashs dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style, expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.

exactly a year ago we released the splitt ep er 0004.1 with chez damier s balance alliance. so this very special various artists ep comes to you as the follower of the reminded release as a double a side ep, called the various artist ep two pt.2!.with people on a1 marcello napoletano delivers an analog monster. the man from south italy doesnt really need to be introduced after his stunning releases on labels like mathematics, yore or rush hour. on a2 we re-introduce our first female producer in the family basels timnah sommerfeldt with her mix of fill me up (released on balance / ba006). on the aa balance side we got two rookies on wax with the oldschol flavoured tune named da bass lover. produced by quike feat. lello di franco as a young italian producer combo. with changes demetrio giannice has gone through a maturing process, a downtempo track driven by two difrrent drumsequences, melodic synth lines, strings and a classic guitar with a balearic feeling. everything turns into a kind of background hidden hook taken from the forthcoming vocal version of changes. vocals by chez damier. few different versions will follow. strictly limited!

last waltz are geoff leopard, el.dee & mick rolfe, they are 3 djs / musicians / producers who have all been heavily involved in the north east uk underground musical scene for many years. after 2 years of working and playing together at dada, as well as well as a host of the uks more interesting and discerning parties, the trio are finally ready to release their own music into the wild. this release is their debut release. vriginal version on a side is bluesy barealica track and cottam version on b side is more clubby slow house remix.

being a musical vagabond involves quite some illustrious stories and quite some adventures. four of those are captured on this exciting record. in his housey remix of >b1000<, andre kronert tells about an acoustic sunrise. based on driving sub-basses, he piles up layers of harmonic pad sounds and light melodies. the minimal plot of the original version by kollektiv ost roams twilight sceneries and explores single sounds and effects. schaeufler & zovsky give insight into a both relaxed and go-getting attitude towards life. their contribution >leafs< combines dreamy melodies with very lively and functional rhythms. in his own version of this acoustic tale, mollono.bass concentrates on a catchy groove and creates a very inspiring, deep and perfidious hypnotic atmosphere.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

whomadewho, notoriously named after 1986s album by ac/dc, have always been hard to pin down, with their music sounding as effortless as it is stylistically and sonically adventurous. fusing pop and disco memes with punk paraphernalia, the genre-bending trio made up of jeppe kjellberg, tomas høffding and tomas barfod honed their skills on stage and in the studio, releasing a series of bestselling records topped off by their 2011 mini album >knee deep< on kompakt. now they return with the sublime full length >brighter<, due in early 2012 and shaping up to be one of next years highlights. its first single >inside world< is prime stuff as expected…jeppe kjellbergs characteristic vocal hit the pop-nerve in the verses while tomas høffdings soft falsetto holds the song together. second to none is the exclusive flipside, which features a grandiose acoustic version of >inside world< graced by the warm baritone from john grant, former lead vocalist with indie outfit >the czars< and critically acclaimed solo artist. clearly sharing his pivotal vision of pure craftsmanship and musical ingenuity, whomadewho never settled for streamlined mediocrity, thus churning out another instant classic that will rule our hearts and minds.

the time has now come for eklektisch to unveil release number 006 and a debut from melohman & javi bora (20:20 / upon you). staying true to the label s ethos, the pair harnessed the warmth of the summer and with flurry of piano chords, created another feel good dancefloor anthem in >you love you<.
the first of the remixes sees label boss edu imbernon pay tribute to his summer on the white isle with his villaimberlove remix. a weighty kick drum, spritely key melody and fiercely plucked strings make for a more driving version of the original.
more upfront still, is the rework from uk house don steve mac. having spent enough time of his own in ibiza this summer and celebrated the release of his artist album >roots<, steve looks to inject a large dose of pace and tech-muscle, whilst bathing us in aggressive and effective synths.

superfunks classic is back on paradise with the original version + remixes from david vendetta, jess & crabbe & junior sanchez.

acperience - two decades edition robert babicz spacefunkmix. stunning remix from robert babicz of the classic track >acperience 1<! roberts musical output is inspiring and staggering. a true one-man operation,he writes, records and performs solo commanding an ever-expanding touring schedule, tailoring the music he creates to the cities he visits. but thats only part of the puzzle, babiczs art is comprised of more than just his music. he films everything. using his music to open doors and build relationships with people in only the way music can, he then records his experiences and interaction on film, both still and moving, later editing the images together as a picture track to his audio. the b-side is a freshly remastered version of the original.

originally recorded in detroit, 1982 by the late danan potts a.k.a. superlife. at that time danan was hanging around the recording institute of detroit where juan atkins was training in production. danan was interested in atkins style of dance music and quickly recorded >go bananas<. bananas was released locally on southern sun records in hyper limited quantity, it is today one of the most sought after underground detroit techno recordings of all time.

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

tiefschwarz beckon you to dominate my sensation with their latest single on the boys own souvenir. and with its booty-shaking, bass-bumpin funky house vibe, its ripe for the plucking on dancefloors across the world. the title track kicks things off with a dual attack of bass and hi-hat, urging us into its insistent groove. then it takes a firmer hold with its sultry vocals, shaking us around a bit in the process. with the carnivalesque atmosphere of seamy summers in rio, we welcome a funky percussive workout into the mix while a synthline squiggles around us. the breaks saucy vocal instructs us to allow entry into our very own adventure, percussion building to peak levels. lost in the moment, none can resist this kick, and bodies are lost in a dizzying swirl. b-sides include an energetic reimagining from the labels very own frankfurters, chris wood and meat, fresh from their recent smash triple s ep on souvenir and pascal feos & frank leicher manage to dial up the sleaze quotient, murking out the bassline and distorting the vocal.
