Lemongrass is back! On time with the beginning of the summer mastermind Roland Voss endows us with a new longplayer. Fittingly he named the album "Papillon", which is the French word for butterfly. And likewise butterflies flutter the 14 songs in weightless buoyancy through 70 minutes playing time. An album made for a joyful summer day full of bright colours and positivity, radiating the zest of life. "Papillon" slides through the world of Lounge Couture without even touching the banality of plagiarism and clichés. Stylistically versatile with a pinch of Swing & Jazz, a sprinkle of Latin and a garnish of Groove and even Deep House, Roland Voss manages to keep the balance between rhythmic, uplifting tracks and cinematic moods of Chillout & Ambient pieces for daydreaming and relaxation. Follow trustfully the Lemongrass guidance, you will remain poised and fascinated throughout. A...[ read on ]

Olaf Gutbrod, aka OHM-G, was fascinated the music for as long as he can remember. Music was and is magic for him. Olaf got his first guitar when he was 9 years old. From this moment on he knew that music was his life. Being 21 years old, OHM-G met Joe Mubare and started working with him. This had a very strong influence on his music. At the same time OHM-G started doing his first recordings on a 4 Track Tape Recorder. OHM-G became interested in Studio Productions and built his first studio, "Red Light Studio" in Munich. He started to experiment with sounds, which, to him, was much more exciting than to play in a band. By then he was offered to produce soundtracks for movie and theatre productions. Since 2004 OHM-G is the resident DJ at Atzaró, one of the best locations for exquisite music and visuals in Ibiza, where he initiated the Atzaró Lounge last year. In 2008 he...[ read on ]

"To me 'Iradelphic' is looming, ambiguous, radiant. Glowing, whole, invincible, complete." - Clark

Masterpiece brings you legends from the world of music that have one unique story to tell through their own influences and inspirations. A collection like no other that really holds its creator in serious high regard. Masterpiece welcomes none other than Andrew Weatherall. Andrew Weatherall's history goes back far to the beginning of the British acid house scene, having swung gigs for himself at Danny Rampling's legendary Shoom night off the back of the sort of sounds Andrew showcased on “that” compilation for Nuphonic – entitled 9 O'Clock Drop. Subsequently, his connections with the original Boys Own record label (and fanzine) led to artist releases, remixes and a string of legendary London clubs such as Blood Sugar, Circulation and of course Sabresonic (where the fledgling David Holmes cut his teeth). It was through Primal Scream though that Andrew first made his name. As the...[ read on ]

„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.

When it comes to clear-cut, highly effective House music, there’s almost no chance you haven’t heard of German prolific artist Marc O’Tool yet or at least danced your socks off to various of his productions. Born and raised in Essen, Marco became an active part of the electronic music scene at a time, when demos still have been sent out on tape. Running one of North Rhine-Westfalia’s first Techno venues, the “Passarella Club” bringing early legends such as Laurent Garnier, Daniel Bell or Jeff Mills to his hometown, and his first signing with a record label went almost hand-in-hand. The course of his life was set. Now, more than two decades later, he can look back on more than 200 releases and remixes for the likes of Tiesto and INXS. It’s whether a secret nor his prestige that Marc O’Tool was an influential figure of the Progressive House movement beginning of this century, with...[ read on ]

After something of a hiatus, Manchester's Claro Intelecto is back to release his third full-length album, Reform Club, on Delsin Records. Throughout his career, the man known as Mark Stewart has always created lush deep house and techno soundscapes awash with dubby undercurrents. They have previously come on Boomkat's boutique label Modern Love, whilst his recent Second Blood EP marked a Delsin debut. It was his first real outing in some time, bar the odd remix for the likes of Depeche Mode, The Black Dog and Delphic, and was well received by fans of Stewart's past work, including the likes of his stripped back Warehouse Sessions 12" series. This new album deals in all the usual moods and textures you'd expect from Claro Intelecto… it's warm and cuddly, comforting and inviting right from the first track, despite the rough edges and well defined analogue details which pervade...[ read on ]

After the mix-cd’s recorded live at Extrema, Pukkelpop, Lowlands and Rock Werchter, this time Dr. Lektroluv has recorded his set during the Xxxperience Festival in Brazil when he was touring there in December.

Kasra Mowlavi has a reputation for possessing impeccable taste. His Critical Music label has been home to some of the most forward thinking drum & bass since the label’s inception back in 2002, and Mowlavi continues to stretch any tired expectations of the genre by housing work from esteemed new school producers like Rockwell, Sabre, Foreign Concept and Enei. A full circle progression from early releases by Calibre, Breakage and Icicle, it’s a testament to Kasra’s outlook that Critical’s integrity remains unblemished after ten years of releasing music. It hasn’t ever waned or deviated from its original goal of releasing quality drum & bass, properly and without compromise; and that’s something he’s constantly projected - in three compilations he’s compiled on Critical to date and throughout the tracklisting that makes up FABRICLIVE 62. "I wanted to put together a mix that was...[ read on ]

After a few 12″ releases on Kompakt, Sportclub and Spielzeug it was time for Axel Bartsch to produce his first soloalbum. Axel Bartsch was searching for a suitable record label wich put him in the position to produce his album even-handed and without any ulterior motives of a top selling 12″ record. For Axel Bartsch it solely was essential to have the best possible artistic conditions for his album production and Karmarouge gave him the oppurtunity to do it his way. As many brilliant ideas he took the final decision to name his album on the loo while reading an interview about Michael Mayers last album release. Axel Bartschs idea for the album titel comes out of his passion about music, because music is like kissing, highly emotional and sensual, the feeling of approaching lips…KISS…like kissed by music. 01. Intro Axel Bartsch was simply in the mood to have an intro on his...[ read on ]

After long years of work the author of unique and successful albums “Shallow and Profound” (2000) and “Splendid Isolation” (2005) is back with his new long-player, “Passive Control”, which is considered to be the third, closing part of the trilogy. “Passive Control” is another typical contradictory, multilayered Yonderboi title that can be explained in different ways. One of them refers to the constantly changing and unpredictable economical/social situation of today, which is witnessed by most of us inertly, hoping that this recession-thing “gets sorted out” soon. The album’s opening song “Sustainable Development” is an equally beautiful and sarcastic interpretation of this phenomenon, featuring the suggestive voice of Edward Ka-Spel - who can be familiar already from the previous album’s closing song “Even if you are victorious”. “Passive Control” could also describe the typical...[ read on ]

Now the time has come for “When time will come”, his next big strike. The Original is a 9 minute flowing club epos with a long build-up, driving chords and cineastic strings, that will cause several highlights in the club with its outstanding vocals, that remind of Frankie goes to Hollywood´s Holly Johnson in his best days. Criss´ studio partner Marc O’Tool approaches things less flowing, but even more rocking with his Remix and perfects the next milestone in Criss career.
