nice price deal !!! a good year lies ahead for sonar kollektiv: one of the stables most successful and most enduring horses is back at the starting gate. after a hiatus of seven years micatone will finally release their new and long-awaited fourth album >wish i was here< in march. with >gun dog< we get a jaunty candy as a taster for the enhanced richness, maturity and deepness of the berlin based fieve-pieces sound. in addition to the original album version the 12 inch features a more laid back rendition (shuffle version) and a remix by sonar kolletiv honcho alex barck. after his widely acclaimed remixes f.e. for incarnations and jeremy glenn, barck once again shows proof of his understanding how to make a proper song work in the club, most preferably at peak time. building up and up until half way through it suddenly breaks down to cause one of these magic, energized moments almost every respectable dj longs for. therefore, we dont see any reason why you shouldnt bag this one in!

be wie berlin - eva be verkörpert den sound der hauptstadt wie kaum eine andere künstlerin. scheinbar mühelos bewegt sie sich zwischen dub, house-musik und anderen zeitgenössischen stilen urbaner elektronischer musik. angefangen hat eva be in jungen jahren im umfeld des jazzanova-kollektivs. auf derwin, dem label des jazzanova-mannes alex brack, erscheint nun ihre neue single >confusion of a lady< mit remixen von alex barck und rampa.

local talk is proud to present the first release on their sub-label 1nce again. this is where we bring back classic and forgotten house gems from back in the day with new mixes and reworks. for our first release we have gone back to 97 and a producer known and respected worldwide in the house music community with more than 200 production credits under his belt. joshua michaels aka joshua iz perhaps best known for his collabs with dwayne washington as iz & diz but has of course used many other pseudonyms over the years for releases on labels like prescription, balance, classic, junior boys own, om and guidance. the return was first released on heard, sub-label to tom middletons evolution / universal language productions ltd. using his moniker circulation. the track can easily be described as a mammoth house track, clocking in just over 12 minutes. its one of those pieces of music that’s stood the test of time and why iz has been a major force in electronic music for so many years. on the flip much hyped duo prommer & barck stripped it down from its original costume leaving not much left of the source material resulting in something that we best could describe as old school warehouse meets uk bass. its pretty raw and definitely a basement sureshot!

taking the next level, the infectious grooves and fiercely beauteousness of the highly acclaimed prommer& barck album >alex& the grizzly< are mesmerized here any further. kink , san soda and norman& jerome sydenham captivating the journey into the variety of idiosyncratic house music.

prommer & barck is the new project of christian prommer and alexander barck. dj hell was into the track from an early stage on and supported it in in his dj sets. he also did an amazing extended club mix.

what a journey! well, these guys have been around for a while- they have gone through: rave, jazz, krautrock, garage, detroit, house, hip-hop, disco, folk, dubstep, electronica, funk, punk, wave, chicago house, handmade music and soul. all those nights at clubs, the records, the shelves, the dirt in the second-hand record shops, the stacked audio- and studio magazines in their toilets or elsewhere in the house, the hours spent making their own radio-shows, hundreds of hotels checked in and out of, dozens of sound-checks done. last but not least, the revivals, the subgenres, the fusion - well these peeps have given real influential input into some of these (sub)genres in the past. >lovin< is the second single release of the upcoming >alex and the grizzly< album which is due out in april 2011. alex barck is on the vocals together with lois longerling, who is known for her work with dollkraut. andre lodemann delivers a smart remix giving the tune his trade-mark sound and putting onto the house-dancefloors. prommer and barck are on tour with their own live show.

christian prommer (drumlesson) und alexander barck (jazzanova) präsentieren ihr gemeinsames projekt. dabei greifen die beiden die musik ihrer vergangenheit auf und treten von da aus die reise in die zukunft ihrer vision von eklektischer musik an - von deepen kraut-klängen über chicago, detroit, köln, berlin zum münchner disco-sound. chapeau!

christian prommer und alex barck brechen zu neuen ufern auf. auf dem eigenen label derwin prŠsentiert das berlin-mŸnchener produzentenduo ein album, das trotz der vielzahl von einflŸssen - rave, jazz, krautrock, garage, detroit, house, hip-hop, disco, folk, dubstep, electronica, funk, punk, wave, chicago house, pop und soul - eine ganz eigene handschrift trŠgt und in die zukunft weist. die macher selbst beschreiben ihre eigene musik nicht ganz ernsthaft als deep kraut music oder earthboogie dance. nachdem alex barck bei jazanova all die jahre nur der studiotŸftler im hiintergrund war, gibt er auf >alex & the grizzly< nun sein rundum gelungenes debŸt als sŠnger. unter den musikalischen gŠsten sind u.a. dollkraut, kim sanders, james teej und eva milner (hundreds)

even though “darkness on the edge of ecstasy” is the first album by jonatan bäckelie under his given name, the singer from gothenburg is not a newcomer at all. under the moniker ernesto he already released four rather jazzy longplayers. as pinku vääty or jong tan bäckelie takes care exclusively of his electronic productions. and over the last few months and years he collected international acclaim as a gifted guest singer. for example on alex barck s debut (“reunion”) on sonar kollektiv.

mario weise aka marlow ist definitiv kein newcomer mehr in dieser szene. er veröffentlichte bereits eine palette cluborientierter tanzmusik seit 1994. während der vergangenen 20 jahre bezauberte uns marlow mit releases auf prestigebehafteten deutschen labels, wie dem leipziger moon harbour recordings, dem berliner label konsequenz oder dem hamburger room with a view, um nur ein paar zu nennen. jetzt ist es an der zeit die karten neu zu mischen und marlow bei sonar kollektiv willkommen zu heißen. nach seinem remix für das kürzlich erschienene *re-set* von alex barck feat. pete josef, präsentiert er nun seinen ersten richtigen release auf dem berliner label. *backroom* ist ein verspieltes, bassgesteuertes sing-along im gewand von leichtfüßigem pop/house, was eher auf der heimischen anlage oder dem ipad erklingen wird und definitiv grenzüberschreitend die funkhäuser okkupiert. die b-seite beinhaltet einen weiteren herausragenden track, der den myteriösen namen *l4l (vertigo)* trägt.

the loose series based on misunderstandings returns. after the last release in 2009 the series initiated by jazzanova dj alex barck based on his former club night at berlins weekend, we are now treated with its fourth installment.

the adventurous, forward-thinking sound of >aerobics in space< was the perfect fit for the flip side of this serato pressings. international tastemaker gilles peterson said on his bbc radio 1 show that the song >reminds me of jean luc pontys in the fast lane. it was a kind of a crazy, ahead-of-its-time tune, and this track is all over that vibe. i m loving it!<
pommer & barck have each been rocking the dance music scene for over a decade. their recent collaboration has set dancefloors around the world ablaze, and this new remix promises to throw more fuel on the fire.

jeremy glenns >new life ep< is filled will sun-drenched euphoria, it comes bearing soul, embraces jeremys natural pop sensibilities and celebrates the underground scene thats shaped him as a dj. the title track takes us down to the beach with its 90s pads and thumping bass line to hang out with mitch buchanan, >found a love< reminds us of a rare vintage cut that the revenge or jacques renault dig up (check that acid line!) while >overtime oozes of prince. alex barck of jazzanova also rolled out a cheeky feel good remix of new life. its sure to make you grab a partner, throw them into a twirl or two and play an air bass guitar. already jeremy glenn has shared the decks with james murphy, tensnake and andy butler as well as performing live alongside dam-funk, aeroplane, and alexander robotnick. check the video by dakota of >new life< and take in all 80s boobs, 90s muscle, yachts and tiger fades

super limited 12 inch in screen printed sleeve with bing ji ling and barck+prommer remixes ... limited to just 300 copies, pressed on delicious 180 gram vinyl and presented in a silk-screen printed sleeve, >make you mine< is quite the 12 inch to get your hands on this autumn! the opening track of incarnations forthcoming debut album >with all due respect< is a sundrenched balearic bomb if ever there was one. handsome threesome daniel collas, quinn luke (akabing ji ling) and bart davenport soaked up all the good vibes of the tarifa studio on the south-coast of spain, just in front of africa, where the mediterranean sea and the atlantic ocean meet, and transformed them into little over three-and-a-half minutes of pure loving goodness, reminiscent of the 70s west coast sounds among many other things. on remix duties we have christian prommer and alex >jazzanova< barck taking the track into the late night territory with an epic deep-house stormer, while bing ji ling makes those lazy sofa surfers get up and boogie while the sun is setting with a strong ny flavour.

jamie lloyds sophomore album gets remixed by some of our favourite newcomers and older legends. tuff city kids are gerd janson from running back and phillip lauer from arto mwambe and brontosaurus. as expected these two come up with something unexpected, think bobby orlando.

the berlin-based dj and producer eva be is no newcomer to the international dance-music scene. 2 years ago she released her long-player >moving without travelling< on bestseven / sonar kollektiv records creating her very own trademark dub-influenced electronic sound. this ep is the logical continuation of her musical output as she has been djing quite a heavy 4/4 sound in the last years playing alongside best works records djs andre lodemann, roland appel and alex barck of jazzanova in places such as goa/madrid, cookies/berlin, dampfzentrale/bern, etc.
>new crack< combines an electronic dub driven bass sound with classic old-school house influences - dancefloor business. darko essers mix is more intrecate giving the orginal a more dramatic crystalline twist. last but not least andre lodemanns previously unreleased remix of eva bes tune >she walks alone< sees the light.

this the 3rd installment of the 12inch series based on misunderstandings selected by jazzanovas alex barck and named after his monthly night at weekend club in berlin, is surely the hottest yet. arto mwambe has worked his remix magic on roland appel and lars bartkuhn making this a must have maxi single.

with his new night called based on misunderstandings that he hosts in berlins famous club week end, alex barck delivers his personal vision of club music and invites friends that share the same djing philosophy. following the success of the club night, alex further developed his concept and decided to create a special 12inch series on sonar kollektiv. also named based on misunderstandings, this new collection should be regarded as a return to roots for every house dj. it is dedicated to hot club sound that takes you by surprise, gets you dancing without you even noticing it and that really needs to be played out loud now!
