TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos feat. Robert Owens

Where Were You

After the crowdpleasing epic ‘Merging’, TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos release their second single featuring house legend Robert Owens. For the original version of the song you’ll have to wait until the release of their debut album « After Dark, My Sweet » in June, which features eleven all-new tracks and vocals from
Robert Owens, Jemeni, Nicolette and Spunk from Marbert Rocel. Here long-time friend Kirk Degiorgio delivers a lush house remix, while TJ & Nuno themselves take the track into sweaty late-night territory.
The artwork piece for the album is made by the genius Delta (from Defumo Org.)

Swede:art

Emotional Colors

Good News! Germany’s most promising hip hop newcomer Swede:art teams up with Tokyo Dawn for his highly anticipated debut album ‘Emotional Colors‘.
From boombap to boogie and beyond, this album has it all! Influences from modern techno and 90s hiphop melt into unorthodox funk, subbass staccatos, saw tooth wave attacks and colorful bleep action in slow  motion. In short, ‘Emotional Colors’ is a must for the passionate space traveler.
Guest artists on the album include Duktus (Brownswood), Note, Persuit Grooves, Stray, Blaktroniks, Caits Meissner and Comfort Fit.

Swede:art hype! The year started very well for 20 year old Bavarian wunderkind Swede:art. After being selected as participant of RBMA London, coops with music peers such as Hudson Mohawke, Comfort Fit, Tokimonsta and others quickly followed. Altough completely overloaded with remix and cooperation requests, Swede:art will be playing at countless festivals and clubs this summer.

2. I’m A R.O.B.O.T. (feat. Blaktroniks)

Jeremy Ellis

I See You

The FastFWD label releases another outstanding soulful house project in John Beltran’s “I See You.” A noted songwriter, Michigan-based producer John Beltran is best known for his earlier work with Ubiquity and Om records, and experimenting in techno to broken beat genres but always in a hard-to-categorize zone of his own. With « I See You » Beltran doesn’t disappoint as he lends airy, sexy vocals on top of a bouncy soulful vibe and groovy percussion. Brilliant stuff.
Fellow Michiganian Jeremy Ellis (AKA Ayro) provides the NuJazz Remix which is smooth enough to serve as background ear libation for the lounge scene or pose as a bass bin shaker for the club. It’s not too far from the original but is indeed kicked up just enough, partly due to Ellis’ added saucy rhodes soloing. Next, Rob Slac from Chillin Music lends his spacey, deep feel to his version, taking the listener on a whimsical journey  through sounds. Its sly beats, looped hooks, and galloping bass line will sublimely work club systems. Rounding out the selection of remixes is a rework by FastFWD’s own Sandman and Riverside that offers a different spin from the previous cuts. It uses layers of percussion and keys to create an effective build for the dancefloor while still maintaining the character of the original. The use of a ’stand-up’ style bass underneath it all moves the track into a wonderfully jazzy territory. All-in-all, another exceptional package from  FastFWD.

St Gilles – Listen To These Words

Our man, St Gilles from right on fm crew is realeasing is brand new 12″ on vinyl vibes in köln.
Pure house music, the way we like it. You need to check it out.
He received already great feedbacks from Rainer Trüby, Michae Rütten, Erik Schneider, Shumi, Mad Mats or Kid Loco…

Cologne based label Vinyl Vibes remains true to itself, once again expanding it`s musical visions further and thereby following it`s original freestyle idea. French DJ David Delassus aka St Gilles is well know in his resident city Cologne for playing kicking House sets. „Listen to these words“ perfectly goes along with that, it`s deep, techy and perfectly arranged. The Club Mix goes even one step further, it`s slightly more subtle, featuring massive moments for the dance floor and has a strong emotional build up. Label colleague Curv is slicing the tune into pieces, rebuilding it part by part in a highly virtuos way and with a different focus on the details. Last but not least Bernd Rösler aka Kinski is mixing the ingredients to even another delicacy. Afro Beat and Tech House fuse to a rough yet emotional killer tune. Conclusion: Vinyl Vibes musical expansion has more than succeeded! 5 Points.

Lʼinfo vient de tomber, en plein bouclage : Grandmaster Flash, mythe hip-hop, sera à lʼaffiche de Contre-Temps… qui joue contre la montre et me fiche dedans en me proposant de griffonner quelques lignes, illico, presto. Commenter la progʼ, parler de la pluie et de Contre-Temps. Aïe, jʼai besoin de retrouver mes esprits car hier soir, jʼai vu la Vierge. Si, si. Véridique. Sur lʼA35, entre Strasbourg et Colmar. Un dingue de Dieu, sans doute, remorquant une imposante statue lumineuse de Marie derrière sa caravane. Nous avons frisé la sortie de route… Bref, Contre-Temps, son visuel – un trousseau de clefs, un piano-jouet, un gobelet, un chien couché, une pizza entamée qui jonche le sol dʼune chambre dʼado attardé – et son programme – de lʼelectro chamanique (Koudlam), du groove éthiopique (Mulatu Astatke) ou même de la pop stratosphérique (Mansonʼs Child), des performances artistiques, un pique-nique électronique, une tempête de neige synthétique. Quelle pagaille. 7e édition : lʼâge de la déraison ? Tant mieux. Surtout que Dodekazz nous invite, avec Panimix, à intervenir sur la projection dʼEmmanuelle IV,  lʼhistoire dʼune fille qui, grâce à la chirurgie, retrouve sa virginité. Si, si. Véridique.
Daniel Bernard
