moodorama submits their sixth studio album called SIX. Six years after their last album "My Name Is Madness," the album's title means, quite banal numbering. The side effect is that SIX sounds good and is very catchy. moodorama wanted any kind of "artificiality" in their new work refrain.

With "Wondering Why” SIX opens with a wonderful sunny pop tune. The fact is that moodorama previously produced a pop album with another artist, and therefore a kind of Popmodus has rubbed off inevitably some songs on the new album. With almost six years of production, moodorama have noticeable left a lot of time, which they explained: "We let our creativity flow. There will inevitably accumulate a lot of ideas, or already half-finished songs that need to be sorted out or followed. Often we are dissatisfied after some time, pick another direction, or developing a different sound understanding....[ meer ]

„Open Your Mind“ is the opener and mega-club-hit of this fantastic house-production. „Arctic Summer“ is not one of the usual compilations because „Powder“ is a real existing artist collective of dj's, musicians and singers. This is to be heard; not that often is a house-production as variedly and extensively succeeded as the album „Arctic Summer“ is. The album-title offers what is acknowledged while listening: timeless club-house meets beachfeeling of the open-air-lounges of this planet.

Generally the heartbeat of a woman is a little more intense than in men. You could hear that clearly on the debut album of Zoë Xenia from Amsterdam. – a hybrid of rolling basses, chords and funk fuelled beats. Using her soulful voice both as a lead vocal and as an instrument itself, she creates her unique atmospheric sound.

Zoë Xenia performs both as a DJ and a Live electronic act for parties and festivals throughout Europe and around the world. Now she clelebrates her Albumdebut on Plastic City. Music with Heart(beat) and Soul and a remarkable voice, that you could know from other great productions like the re-release of BBE’s huge dance-hit “7 Days And One Week”.

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 ]
