Kambo is a dark and mysterious, almost Chris & Cosey sounding, 808 driven trip into the Amazon woods of Brasil. In a serious ritual, poison of the kambo frog comes to you like an electrocution. After begin sick for a short while, it makes you the happiest person on Earth. For weeks. And this is how it feels. It’s a piece of art. Thee J Johanz’ own remix takes you from the tribes of the Amazon to a kind of tripped out Chicago warehouse in 1987, while RK (Roland Klinkenberg) makes Kambo groove on heavy bass and refined percussion. 

Preview: Thee J Johanz - Kambo [Ball 101]

Vivian is a massive acid banger with high frequency Jupiter 8 eruptions and a simple ‘raga style’ melody. The track was made after the last tour was cancelled due to health problems, and was finished after Charanjit Singh passed away. Vivian means alive and is dedicated to Charanjit Singh and the special vibe he and Thee J Johanz had together on stage. The B side a 16 and a half minute take from a live show at the magical Alsisar Palace in Rajastan, India. It’s an ever progressing improvised journey, the result of over  forty shows played in the US, Europe and Asia. Charanjit Singh is improvising on the Jupiter, like he did on his proto-acidhouse album in 1982, and Thee J Johanz is jamming with the 808 and 303 like he used to do, back in the heyday of acidhouse.

Money Bee - Lack Of Emotions (Disco Master)

Finally out on vinyl and Digital! Kambo! Deep 808 bass, lose rhythms and weird sound fx with samples from rituals. The poison of the Kambo frogs kills you first, but gives instant pleasure and happiness after. :-) We are very proud of hit original and experimental track, which also works well on the floor!

B1 Thee J Johanz - Kambo (TJJ 707 Remix)

Roland Klinkenberg, one of Hollands most talented producers, created a fresh but also deep in the basses dubbin' remix, which creates instant good vibes and works really well in the build up of a DJ set.

Thee J Johanz - Move Your Butty - Thee J Johanz Version (PREVIEW)

Totally surprising bouncer by Prins Thomas. Try this one in the club and hear the oohs and aahhhs coming. Pure ritmic energy, stripped down to the essence or the original. An remix in a classic sense, but also very fresh.

This is the Iridial days original, remastered by Thee J Johanz himself on his amazing analog mastering chain.

16.28 minute live recording at Magnetic Fields Festival, AlsisarMahal, Rajasthan Indian 2013

B1 Charanjit Singh & Thee J Johanz - Rag Bhupali

Wild jams on the classic Linndrum, a driving bassline and a gated, almost out of control North African sounding leadsynth form the basic ingredients of this exceptional new record by Thee J Johanz. The Fire in The Disco version adds more spices, like moody FM pads and an infectious disco vibe, ready to put many floors on fire. The record is garnished by the ‘market version’ of Bafrique, which is more like a dub/ambient excursion with environmental samples taken on the Vagator market in India. Artwork by Afrobot.

In R U There? Thee J Johanz is exploring the capabilities of the Russian/DDR Vermona synth for a massive brutal lead on a rocking 808  beat, with driving italoesque arpeggio’s from the Jupiter 6. Having it’s special moment in an unanswered synthesized ring tone, enhancing the haunting suspense.

In K Clap West Thee J Johanz lets the Moog modular sing like Kanye West, supported by the ancient Roland CR 8000 drummachine. Sleazy analogue goodness, slapping asses with the nasty clap. Sex with machines.

More Cowbell! is just what the title promises. An orgy of live tuned cowbells, recorded in one take with his beloved modded CR 8000, it’s a perfect atonal mix tool to add some uplifting madness and excitement.

B1 Thee J Johanz & Bombay Municipal Corporation - Bombay Spring Rolls
B2 Jim Lok – Still Fukkin’ With It (Original Mix)

The Bombay Springrolls EP contains three tracks which all have their own strengths. The A side is a wide 45 rpm print of Thee J Johanz’s uplifting and pretty cosmic ‘Intergalactic Rabbits remix’ of the original ‘Still Fukkin’ With It’ on side B, a catchy slomo disco track by Jim Lok. Here you also find Thee J Johanz’s Bombay Springrolls, which just happened on an afterparty in a studio in Bombay (energized by the best spring rolls around). With pre-production on the spot by Bombay’s underground house and techno producers Abhi Meer (modular synth), Spacejams (Tr707) and Chhabb (bassmachine). A digestive and spicy disc with a variety of flavors. Masala!

A1 Thee J Johanz - Flight 770
A2 Thee J Johanz - Night Of The Invisible BodySNADchers
B1 Thee J Johanz - Thunder Over Tbilisi 
B2 Thee J Johanz - Look At All Those Stars

Flight 770 is an EP about global moods and inspirations, made around a trip to Georgia, where Thee J Johanz played at a festival with his friends from Goa. The title track combines old school gfunk grooves with techno sounds and dreamy leads from the rare Korg 770, while the boutique Russian Mad 5 drumsynth is spanking your ass with vibrant claps. Night of the bodySNADchers started as a project for the Goan Gandu label by Snad and Iggy the Bastard. It’s inspired by the trippy vibe of the endless (after)parties at Cirrus, near Chapora. Thunder Over Tbilisi expresses the pressure you feel in Georgia, specially after what recently happened to club life in Tbilisi. Coming back to Holland Thee J Johanz played at the Island of Terschelling and refound himself looking at the stars. Small dots in a seemingly infinite universe. But also massive electrifying diamonds.

Thee J Johanz – Extraterrestrial Interventions
Thee J Johanz – Sextraterrestrial Interventions 
Thee J Johanz – Extraterrestrial Interventions (Justin Cudmore Remix)

Pumping West Coast electro in a new jacket, with bouncing 808’s, driving acid, and old school futuristic vocoders.. Kleptocracy's are taking over the planet and humans are getting entangled in their own web. We need some extraterrestrial help. In the Thee J Johanz remix a bunch of oversexed electro disco aliens are coming to save the planet by love and destruction. Justin Cudmore (Bunker NY) is taking it to a darker space in his more abstract and highly effective remix. Three massive 808 floor fillers!
