christopher rau is one of smallvilles steady mainstays, with yamato he is delivering four tracks, that perfectly describe the seductive cosmos of smallvilles sound. there is nods to the past as well as a way to a timeless future. carefully evolving melody, voices and something caressing from somewhere far away- but within your heart in just a moment. its bubbling and telling stories from the inside but its still targeted straight to a dancefloor- dedicated to the sweetest ones of the world.

it has been the sweetness and warmth of the city of hamburg, its delightful venues such as the golden pudel club and smallville parties at ego that made him diving into deepest music. after >ne travaillez jamais< became the favorite track of all smallville and dial djs and rau played on one of those magic nights the idea of an album was born. the plan was as simple and lovely as the music on asper clouds is. here comes the sun.

bringing the virtuosity into contemporary dancemusic, two protagonists found themselves as being the new dreamteam of the scene: thomas melchior and bruno pronsato. and it works perfectly- melchior, the perfectionist who always sets new standards regarding minimal house music and pronsato, the scientist who discovers the unheard and the unbelievable. both living in berlin, melchior & pronsato connected their world of sound and built one of the loveliest records in the whole universe of reduced deepness. on >puerto rican girls< melchior & pronsato play the most wonderful rhodes-line ever created connected with a never-to-stop-rhythm that could last for ages. it features the voice of ninca leece, who just released a super sweet record on bruno pronsatos imprint thesongsays. pure love! on the b-side >we make it right< brings together what belongs together- a fluffy bassline with that kind groove which makes the sun shining brighter.

the smallville collective has injected a real breath of fresh air into the house music scene. after launching their record shop in hamburg city in 2005 they invited the most sophisticated artists of the european and american underground scene- such as jus- ed, keith worthy, shinedoe, sleeparchive, omar s, baby ford & thomas melchior and many more to play at hamburgs love-spreading allnighters.
