pumpin and funkin disco / house action

we are proud and happy to present the first release by our cologne buddy ziggy kinder. since many years ziggy is a close friend and has impressed with his work on labels like ware and tiefschwarz imprint souvenir. favela is the generally used term for a shanty town in brasil. ziggy has recorded the vocals originally with aline de magalhaes during his brasil-trip. this house-tune has been tested succesfully on the dancefloor and comes with great remixes by soukie & windish from hamburg. the digital release also includes a remix by deep data mastermind rené breitbarth from berlin.

cause records is the project by the most famous (and married) hard-techno couple: petduo. straight from brasil, but based in berlin these days, petduo is well-known for their extremely energetic life-sets and bestselling releases on cannibal society / nerven / inflicted to name just a few.for the 4th release the pets invite a bunch of upcoming artists from their motherland. that brazilian hard techno is very much alive was already a fact with names like lukas, alex tb and pet duo themselves creating damage around the globe. this new ep holds brand new tracks for the masses. another killer on this young label that will literally blow your mind!

the song originated directly after their second brazil tour to honour a woman from the ghetto sao paolos. what is exactly behind this acquaintance remains confidential. some whisper the girl from the favela would have saved their life. others again state

techy flavoured progger with brasilian vibes!

gato preto’s debut album „tempo“ contains everything, what is exciting about the international club-culture: rockin favela-funk from rio, roaring township-grooves from south africa and angola’s technoid electro-hybrid kuduro. sound creator & gato preto producer lee bass creates the basis for femcee gato misteriosa and her portugese power-punchlines.

a triple treat for all fans of klangkultur schallplatten, featuring these fine releases:
- kks002: darius syrossian - 10 miles from lima
- kks003: chris james - kind of heavy
- kks004: h2 - just bounce

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

following a superb debut from dj w!ld, colognes klangkultur schallplatten delivers another weighty 12 inch – >10 miles from lima< by darius syrossian. comprising two tracks of house music which balances pin sharp production with forward thinking musical content, >10 miles from lima< sees darius in fine form.

the singular threads of the musical fabric that is barrio weedwagon are too numerous and long to trace the beginnings. however, the story does indeed have a start. the spark first took flame on a dance floor deep in the heliopolis favela of são paulo, brazil. after this initial shared out of body experience about 2012, barrio weedwagon can best summed up in these words: emerging from a black hole in the center of the milky way galaxy, the beings who would claim the name barrio weedwagon were awakened. the steady stream of organized radio frequencies from earth became a soothing and yet tantalizing lullaby for our heroes.

with >el otro mundo<, 7 samurai (aka panoptikum, dubben, les gammas) deliver the best alternative versions, takes and remixes of their acclaimed >el mundo nuevo< album. and the >other world< features a wide range of musical styles from soulful sounds by the likes of desmond foster and blue eyez to hip hop, reggae, dancehall and some fine electro tunes.

mr. st plomb makes everything groovy! the title track >wild at heart< is a banger. a banger with a sexy smile. full-blown organs. irresistibly funky steel-drums. and a little cosmic-ambient flirtation. dig a little deeper with house maestro agnes favela funk mixx, and get carried away in a dubby maelstrom that could turn any afterhour-celebration upsidedown. straight-up dancefloor fodder is st plombs chord-ridden b-side offering >life s here (aint we lucky?)<. a funky bass for a loving race? chicago, here we come!

the niallist is back after his first release of 2010 on little rock records - his last (house machines >a.c/i.d.<) selling out its limited edition run and gaining support from james murphy, trevor jackson, cosmo vitelli, ali renault and old school acid legend adonis.
>i came< is favela-funk meets chicago house, with the sultry vocals of ms mac d lending it an accessible and sexy edge. it has already gotten plays on kiss fm by sinden, and on bbc radio 1 by both vic galloway and optimo. the release has been getting some strong reviews already and the remixes have been proving popular on the blogosphere, especially brassicas icy italo remake.

we have never done a project like this before where the artists choose all the remixers themselves. but for the crazy italoboyz album >bla bla bla< we found ourselves not really knowing what to do. so instead of forcing our own ideas for remixers we went back to the source and let the artists run wild on the a&r. marco and fede commissioned all the remixers themselves. the producers they chose are a very diverse bunch and the vinyl 12inch takes a sampling of the best material from two very big underground names. on the a-side das kraus duo turn it a super jackin yet also very haunting rendition of >oh mio dio.< it sounds like pitched up chicago house meets demon days. on the b-side old school master dandy jack turns in one of the oddest records ever on mothership with some unusual sound design, voices and semi-dischordant note runs. super weird for the super weird! whatever you think of this odd lot no one can deny these remixes definitely carry the indistinguishable mark of that ever so quirky duo, the italoboyz

mas que nada must be one of the biggest summer anthems of all time, if not the biggest of them all, with countless covers and versions recorded and released over the years. if you have been searching for the definitive version to play this summer and many summers to come, look no further, as hollands hottest house producer gregor salto has created a version that not only puts his own fantastic production skills in the limelight, but also showcases the wonderful helena mendes, who delivers an amazing interpretation of jorge ben&#146,s original. gregors respect to the master mix is what can only be described as a perfect summer record, and it works as well by the pool at sundown as on the floor at 2am. gregor is fusing favela funk style beats, batucada percussion with helena mendes soft but yeat energetic latinjazz, and with this deadly combination of styles, he has created a solid dancefloor monster. straight up summer madness! with this release on slip n slide, ericke repays the favour and delivers a storming club mix that combines latin driven electro house beats with balearic piano chords that works beautifully with the vocals and keeps the ibiza vibe of gregors version. further remixes on this package comes from hollands dj madskillz and spains jesse garcia, who with releases on roger sanchez stealth label amongst others is carving a name out for himself as the self styled king of tribal house.
