fred hush steps up for volume 8 in sonar kollektivs based on misunderstandings series.

the seventh episode of the based on misunderstanding series is true show-stopper: last summer the ultra hot duo manhooker(tomasz guiddo switala and sebastian mavin magassouba) digged itself together with paul bonomo aka snax (capatain comatose) in its studio to record with cloud 9 a veritable late summer hit. once their first 12inch on ostgut ton caused a burst of enthusiasm, the hype will be fuelled with this release. this is pop music at its best with lots of soul for the sophisticated dancefloor.

in january the debut album the damage is done by hot coins, the disco crossbreed project by danny berman (best known for his house productions as red rack em), was released. his personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of downtown new york sometime around the late seventies/early eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. its also a brilliant examination of todays club music.
