Info:
It’s been a while, 17 years, to be precise since Bernd Kunz, also known as AFMB, released an album. After its release in 1997, A Forest Mighty Black’s "Mellowdramatic", became a trip-hop classic. It followed several 12“s that Kunz released on Compost Records, including Compost’s 001, "Fresh In My Mind“. "Mellowdramatic” included tracks like "Rebirth“ and "Everything“ and highlighted Kunz's love for the melancholic shades of music.

In the years that followed, Kunz quietly drifted away from his trip-hop roots and during this time he moved from the Black Forest capital Freiburg to Zurich, Switzerland, where he got more in touch with house music again (before his trip-hop days he was an avid acid house and garage addict). After meeting Drumpoet's label boss Alex Dallas and his “Earthbound“ buddy Alex Gustafson at the cities’ most famous house club "Zukunft“, it was clear what had to be done - they started to explore the deeper aspects of house as "The Lost Men“. Encouraged by the resonance of their output, Kunz followed up with solo work on Drumpoet. The 12"s "Backup Days“ and "In My Life“ featuring the singer Geraldine Roth (who is also featured on the new album) showed his love of 90's house, especially the Underground Resistance sound. After all those club-orientated releases he got more and more interested to find out what could happen when looking beyond the dancefloor without neglecting the basic ingredient of house-music, the “four on the floor“ bass drum. He started to cross his house explorations with the vast trip-hop experiences and it soon became clear, that the fusion of the two genres was the key to the special mood he was looking to set.

One of the first results that can be found on the album was "Suite For B-Boy“, a reflective 120 BPM tune, with a typical AFMB, Larry Heard influenced piano line, followed by "A Tribute“, that could easily be declared as slow house. But one can also find much more trip-hop sounding songs on the record, with "Jade Knights, 2“ where Kunz plays with his own past quite heavily, but tastefully.
While working on those three tracks, he suddenly realized that he had started to create a blueprint of a new LP without knowing. The major aim during the three-year long production was to explore all possible facets of this genre clash and to finish a timeless, gadget-free piece of music, that the listener can travel through.
AFMB provides twelve new and previously unreleased tracks with his latest Drumpoet release and proves his "Black Forest“ heart still beats.

Laroye, who also recently remixed a Galliano track for Brownswood, delivered an ethereal tune with much musical respect to the original club hit. Moodorama (recently remixed Jazzanova, youANDme) present a version with an extra delicious pump. Chocolate Garage Production from Cologne stripped the airy house serenade down to the bone, while Inkswel cutting it to a new broken beat hemisphere.

Label: Compost Records (https://soundcloud.com/compost)

> Yuu Udagawa (https://soundcloud.com/yuu_udagawa)

After Yuu Udagawa’s highly acclaimed EPs “Ride It” & “Peaceful Dawn” from last year, she’s back again in full effect presenting four classy, sophisticated and timeless jazz-electronica-house hybrid tracks for Compost.

The title track Golden Glow is a electric samba-infused broken beat gem, with joyful vocal melodies and a superfunky bassline creating a truly elevated vibe.

Reverie comes in smooth slow-motion house guise. Yuu's ethereal vocal interludes unfold in interplay with playful piano improvisations, underpinned by an irresistible groove.

The track “One More” seems to come straight out of a smoky jazz club. Jazzy piano sounds meet plucked double bass, underlaid with dreamy synth pads and Yuu's whispers from the twilight zone.

On Velvet City, Yuu unleashes her soulful vocal talent and her flair for wonderfully ambitiously produced deep house. A great, uplifting jam that appeals to both the heart and the dancing leg.

PREMIERE : Yuu Udagawa - Golden Glow

www.openlab.fm | 106.4FM in Ibiza & Formentera

For the first time since we started, we have handed the entire show to an artist—one who is perhaps South Africa’s most treasured electronic music virtuoso.
To celebrate the announcement of the first Felix Laband European tour since 2018, he has constructed a set composed entirely of original music, exclusively for this show. Some of it you will know—a lot of it you won’t. As always, the show will be shared on the OpenLab archives next week.
With five studio albums to his name and an anthology of singles, EPs, and albums to come—it is here that we look into Felix’s past while contemplating his ever-evolving future as an electronic musician.
With shows across Europe, the centerpiece is taking place in London on 2 August 2025 at 17 Little Portland Street, The Tent at the End of the Universe, where OpenLab, in conjunction with Sub Sahara, will present Felix Laband live in London for the first time ever.
This set is a reflective and forward-thinking journey through 25 years of musical output for Felix Laband—and an unusual gift for fans of electronic music the world over.
