following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!

dj mes brings funky house

eine geheimnisvolle veröffentlichung, nicht nur wegen ihres einzigartigen expressiven stils, sondern auch, weil nicht einmal bekannt ist, wann sie ursprünglich aufgenommen wurde, geschweige denn, wann sie veröffentlicht wurde. laut dem eigentümer des gemeinnützigen studio piccolo, vincent bruley, könnte es in den 70er jahren aufgenommen und schließlich anfang der 90er jahre veröffentlicht worden sein, also irgendwann während der zeit, in der nilton castro in paris musik für zeitgenössische tanzkurse machte (die oft von seiner frau geleitet wurden). dieses album war ursprünglich für die begleitung von tänzern im unterricht gedacht, wobei der schwerpunkt auf rhythmus und koordination lag.

ou just can t beat those super secret squirrel trax releases on guesthouse, one of the most sizable house labels operating of the bay area. on this third installment, mark funk and danny cruz keep things live and direct with the impassioned soulful house of -givin my love-. peter brown then slides in with the tracky pressure of -funkosphere-, which comes with added flute for good measure. dj mes also strikes a headier groove, but teases the ingredients on -state of affairs- out into an effervescent peak time floor filler, and then hazzaro brings it home with the rallying, roller-skate call of -saturday-. other releases on guestho

in 2016, the festival in prora releases another vinyl, and this time it is a real tasty tidbit. the boys from kiel, mitja & daniel mes, who also played at this year’s festival, included their track „feel free“ on the record. this track is the beach-echo and a perfect medicine against the winter blues. the second track originates straight from the island rügen, produced by the well-known irie island crew and holds the name „rügen rockt“. the name speaks for itself and through the well harmonized dub-swing reggae vibes be sure to be grooved from north to south of the small island. the backside of the vinyl is a piece of handcrafted art. the very distinct tag am meer logo is engraved through the help of a special technique called: etched. this record does not only sound good, but it also looks amazing.

benjamin balls flash a flashlight came out just after brenda & the bigdudes massive hit weekend. ball s unique reggae-tinged synth boogie was nearly as big and became the second bubble gum anthem of the era. big tip!

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.
