In the crossroads of real live performance as club entertainment presents Musikkrause the debut album of Feindrehstar. The Jena natives have made a life on the stage as a collective over the last 10 years. If you include a number of 7 inches and EP's, their sound is a live concept. An exhilarating connection of the functional with the ornamental - hard working dance music on stage with a house essence and adose of the hip-hop with a funk & jazz base. The sextet is composed of the trumpet, saxophone, scratch & samples, bass, percussions, drums, Rhodes & keys and with point blank ideas an interesting sonic garden blooms. As a unit of virtuoso composers with serious sonic tools Feindrehstar presents on their first LP “Vulgarian Knights”. The recording took place together with Axel Reinemer and Immo Wischhusen (Flowin IMMO) is Jazzanova Studio in Berlin. The urban arranged rhythm...[ meer ]

This guy's got a short name, but a really heavy sound - one that's got a great blend of beats, keys, and samples at its core - all served up with a crispy, old school funky sound! 45's approach is a bit like that of Ino Hidefumi - in that he covers older territory with a slightly updated groove, mixing older keyboard funk with a hip hop sensibility. But the sound here is also different than Hidefumi too - given that a number of cuts are more soul/R&B in nature - and occasionally feature guest vocals to flesh out the tunes. 45's groove is also a bit more wide-ranging too - not just older styles, but a range of rhythms that include bits of contemporary soul and hip hop, and which point to his work with the group Izanami - all modes that inflect the keyboards differently from track to track. About 5 of the album's 13 tracks feature vocals, the others are all instrumentals.

Since many years now Milk & Sugar release their "Summer Sessions" compilation, just when the summertimes begin, with the most requested tracks from their DJ sets. The two internationally renowned DJs created a CD with a perfect flow for a hot club night or a long lasting party under the stars with a great feeling for housegrooves and their typical sound. With their connections to their DJ collegues, Milk & Sugar are also proud to present some tracks that have never been compiled to any compilation before! A compilation, that reaches from funky summer grooves to deep and groovy techhouse tunes. A very typical Milk & Sugar style!

We wanted to mark our 25th release by doing a special compilation, looking back to what happened since the launch of the label in September 2006. The result is a double cd, with the first disc being an unmixed overview of the biggest tracks released on Curle to date. Hence the title 'So Far (So Good)'. CD Two is a data disc with over 4 hours of music in mp3-format. Anthony Collins, Peter Van Hoesen and label founder Fader all made a DJ-mix including nothing but tracks from the Curle catalogue, featuring quite a few unreleased tracks, remixes and edits especially made for this compilation.

Robert Hood returns after last year's 'Minimal Nation' re-issue with his new artist album Omega. The album is based on the 1971 classic science fiction film, 'The Omega Man' starring Charlton Heston and derived from Richard Matheson's 1954 novel 'I Am Legend' (which was recently re-adapted to the big screen). The album is not intended as an exact soundtrack to run alongside the original film, but Hood was heavily influenced by the movie and has used it as his inspiration. This album's concept is a long-held vision of Hood's and the film's stimulus has presented itself both musically here, and even spiritually for him, since he watched it as a child. Its themes appear even more relevant today and continue to haunt: "it's definitely metaphoric," he says "and if we don't heed the signs, this is where we'll end up. We live in a society where we just consume. We just take. We don't...[ meer ]

The first mix CD capturing the vibe of Germany's most succesful dubstep night SUB:STANCE which is held in Berlin's Berghain. It's the first mix CD of the dubstep pioneer Scuba which is commercially available. 24 tracks, including unreleased tracks by Mala, Joy Orbison, Mount Kimbie, Ramadanman, Scuba and others. SUB:STANCEis the collision of two worlds – the vitality of UK bass music intertwined with Berghain and all it's sensory exhilaration and unique atmosphere. The party started in July 2008 when an array of dubstep's finest exponents first brought the world’s most exciting sound to its most talked-about club. Since then the concept has become fully formed with curators Paul Rose (aka Scuba) and Paul Fowler (Spymania Records) picking lineups covering the full spectrum of the burgeoning bass music scene, including Martyn, The Bug, Joker, Neil Landstrumm and many more, that have...[ meer ]

Frequencies are swines, every audio-autodidact knows about that. Making music is hard work at the analytical front, every bar just a tiny territorial gain, that neverending scramble between wetware and software. And when the exhausted lonesome hero finally stumbles outside, then it was just another day in the coal-mines of techno, a long day, a heavy day, everyday life. But sometimes all the troubles aren‘t for nothing, sometimes the ring-bounded eye can capture a shine and glitter in the dried-out riverbed, a rough diamond in the digged boulders, ready to get rasped and polished like anything. The last bus home is gone? Never mind. Sleep at the studio? Whatever it takes. Sacrifices are being made and not being born. And all are equal before the flow. In all that sense, SUB STATIC boss FALKO BROCKSIEPER has now processed a big issue, after a remarkable number of EP‘s and remixes: the...[ meer ]

The German phrase “Katze im Sack” describes a new idea for our shop. The Americans are using the phrase "Grab Bag", English people know it as “Lucky Bag” But just like the Grab Bag you may know from Kindergarten, you don't get to know what's in the bag. You're getting a surprise. It might be a record, you have always wanted, it might be a record you have never heard of, it might be one you already own that you can give to a friend. Who knows! That's part of the surprise. After the huge success of the CD Grab Bags we have decided to launch Vinyl Bags. The difference to the CD editions is that we will not pack the bags by style, we think it’s better if we offer the Bags separately for each label. The Grab Bag - fine Audio Recordings Vinyl Edition (10 x 12inch) contains 10 of our 5,95€ + sale Vinyl’s from the Label fine Audio Recordings and we are going to sell them to you...[ meer ]
