Tolga Fida album on Vakant

May 16, 2012

Global Superstar DJ Tolga Fidan is back. After playing on the world’s biggest stages alongside the best DJs. Charted by every living organism on our earth, Tolga Fidan is back with what could be a grammy award winning record. No no, just kidding. It’s me. Tolga. And this is my album’s info sheet. I know it’s becoming a bad habit to write my own info sheets but otherwise it ends up sounding like the paragraph above. It portrays you like a galactic avenger that’s been changing the rules of the game we call music over and over again. Which is obviously utter

Lauer album on Running Back

May 16, 2012

rbcd04

„Phillips“ is the magnificent debut album by Phillip Lauer on Running Back. Frankfurt’s melody man has amassed a body of work that includes the adventures of Arto Mwambe, top singles (Delta NRG) on his extinct Brontosaurus label for Permanent Vacation or Live At Robert Johnson as well as remixes for the likes of Maxmillion Dunbar or with the Tuff City Kids project. The twelve songs that make “Phillips” have been described as 808 State kissing Movin Records while Cluster are in the room – or a Dolby NR tempest. Whatever you want to call it, it has

JIN CHOIs A THOUSAND WHALES OF LOVE. A true artist album

May 16, 2012

pgcd01

The album format, in the world of Electronic Dance Music is most often a self-defeating gesture. There is, traditionally, little need for a long-players worth of club bangers and too often artists who try their hands awkwardly at variation and deeper meaning find they have too little experience and come up short, or even empty. Not so with JIN CHOI’s A THOUSAND WHALES OF LOVE. A true artist album, where the artist has so much to communicate that it didn’t even fit on a single CD. All told, 14 songs of emotion using the dance music idiom, but meaning much more.

Roberto Rodriguez debut album on his Serenades

May 16, 2012

srnds007cd

His music is like a 'Waterfall on House’ – organic, constantly running, sparkling and fresh. It could be the background tune for Magazine Beauties in St. Tropez, it feels like a drive through Californian valleys, or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the Greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. Just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax and make you smile, after a hard

Coinciding with the cinema premier of "Bar25 - Tage ausserhalb der Zeit" (Bar25 - Days Out of Time), the Bar25 label is releasing the official soundtrack. Together with its closest musician friends, the label began work over a year ago on exclusive tracks that would be included in the final cut.

The sampler is divided into two worlds - the dancefloor and the Zirkus -

orn022

 

HOME is the debut album by The Analog Roland Orchestra which is a homage to his new place.
He said: “I remember exactly when I started to work on this album. It was one week after moving into my current flat where I really felt good and at home. For Munich conditions it is a quite big flat. 72 square meters shared by three persons and i have my very own little studio. It's in the attic and has got a nice view over some cool roofs with view on sunrise and sunset which is very nice and which I have never had before in my past flats. All of this is reflected in
