the new danish modern sound belongs to owusu and hannibal of copenhagen! the most forward thinking beats we ve heard in a long time power along some amazing musicianship and fantastic songs. they ve got cosmic freak-outs, street smarts, electronic pop, and crossover ballistics packed into each next level track. think steely dan meets j dilla meets scritti politti meets spacek and youre getting kinda close. also included is a fantastic boogie-tune re-work from nycs own morgan geist (metro area, environ, etc)

vier großartige remixe von zwei tracks der im frühjahr 2011 erschienenen mini-lp des kopenhagener duos parallel dance orchestra, das aus robin hannibal (owusu & hannibal, boom clap bachelors) und der rapperin coco solid besteht. die club-mixes kommen von salax peep show alias axel boman und petter), maxmillion dunbar, maxxi soundsystem und spectacle (permanent vacation).

parallel dance orchestra sind coco solid und robin hannibal (owusu & hannibal), der sich hier bobbi soxx nennt. das disco-not-disco-duo pumpt auf dieser mini-lp disco-rap-jams, die sich hier und da so anhören, als ob der tom tom club und die pop group eine party mit m.i.a. oder dem new york pony club feiern.

bcc ft. robin hannibal of owusu & hannibal the new music for dreams signing (and gilles peterson faves) with their first 12inch release for the label and a fine one it is. yam who works remix duties on the a side with a fantastic house mix, while the flip features the superbly lush and sleek album track combiner in both instrumental and vocal forms.

>read my mind< is the first full-on vocal track to actually be released by metro area (they had amassed a small catalog of unreleased vocal tracks since starting the project). featuring the incredible pipes of philip owusu (of ubiquity records owusu & hannibal), >read my mind< is a dynamic boogie romp full of contrast: sweet yet meloncholy, warm yet raw. it hearkens back to the days where songwriting and arrangement still had a place in dance music and we hope youll love it. and for the beat purists, theres an irresistible >rmm special dub< version - perfect for doubles! flipping to the b-side yields >erodyne<- an incredible space-disco epic that rocks time and space, looking forward with angular arpeggiated riffs and futurist moods while anchored by an undeniably d.i.s.c.o. groove. check out metro area 7 and be transported - hot music, built to last!

4 unreleased remixes: daniel wang >24 to vector z< morgan geist s commuter mix, owusu & hannibal >delirium - morgan geist unreleased dub< reflection >cube loop< morgan geist s modest science mix, cim >typical< morgan geist remix !

this is all about doing things differently its the sort of album that challenges the notion of what sounds good together (sb)
