part 1 of 5

mit ihrer formation chic und hits wie „dance, dance, dance“, „good times“ und „le freak“ mischten nile rodgers und bernard edwards in den späten siebzigern gehörig die internationalen discofloors auf. wie keine andere band verstanden es chic, die essenzen von rock, funk und disco zu einem schweißtreibenden, endlos goovenden und gleichsam cool eleganten mix zu verbinden. das ergebnis war ein unvergleichlicher, stets wiedererkennbarer sound, der bis heute unzählige bands nachhaltig beeinflusste.
erstmalig im vinyl-format erhältlich, bietet der nun vorliegende, exzellente konzertmitschnitt „le freak live“ ausgewählte highlights von ihrem letzten (reunion-) gig (tokyo / budokan 1996), bei dem sie zudem von ex-guns n’ roses gitarrist slash, der vocalgruppe sister sledge sowie stevie winwood (auf der hendrix-coverversion „stone free“) unterstützt wurden. zugleich dokumentiert diese veröffentlichung tragischerweise den letzten auftritt von bernard edwards, der nur kurz danach in tokyo verstarb.

played by karotte !! as if the year 2009 hadnt been eventful enough for berlin label highgrade and its french counterpart freak n chic , both camps have found space in the program for another very special tour de force this november. based on the similar philosophies of label founders tom clark and dan ghenacia, the two labels utilize the skills of their existing artist rosters while continuing to discover new talents, and togheter, pay tribute to almost all the artists from both labels with this fresh musical collaboration.

incl losoul & seuil remixes!!

one ep to make the south americans shake their booties... >rabouine house< lays heavy on the percussion, the bass, a hispanic guitar interlude and supports italian/turkish chanting vocals throughout. pure rhythm and groove. mikael stavostrand’s mix takes it slower and darker, working dubbed out percussion, >in and out< vocal clips and a slightly horizontal effect

paul ritch & mathias kaden rmxs... big with: dubfire, tiefschwarz, loco dice, troy pierce, johnny d, davide squillace, simon baker, monika kruse,...!!

hypno mini tech part one !! excellent clean production

the second freak n chic release of 2008 brings the premier release from long-time fnc dj collaborator dyed soundorom. 01 >question< lays down a dubby slow-moving groove from the start, as the grooves pick up the questions land, letting the pace take you up and bring you down to the deep-grooved finish. 02 >infection< instantly creates a deep and dubby late-night vibe that holds back the pace and keeps the funk grooving. support coming from.. claude vonstroke, ali schwarz, anja schneider, damian lazarus, kiki, sebo k, shonky, shinedoe, camea, chloé, jennfier cardini, todd bodine, benno blome, anthony collins, jamie jones.

eine der platten der woche von dem mann, der vor 2 wochen schon auf microfibres für einen hit gesorgt hat

next 12inch from the french cocoon artist ! >boul de nerf< is a peak time dancefloor track, with an atmospherique beginning, a big length with talking between bass and freaky lfo synthé. after 6 minutes the strange co2 break came before a second time for the dance floor...>boul de neige< deep acid track, for the aerial moment, straight line with a house rhythm section.... >boul de gum< minimal with something as chicago, big strange ballade for drunken lover s couple...
