We Were In Love

60-min live mix at Ibiza Sonica radio on March 29, 2011.

Lyrics:
The city's fire
Trapped behind the earth
Digging in your deepest dirt

The reddest hue
Reminds you of you
Clinging love and falling true

On and On
All I want is honesty

Tree has snapped
Sparks are flying everywhere
Cables burnt and lines flare

And when the all in all 
Comes falling down
It was just an accident
Something you can't help

On and On
All I want is honesty

Artist: Animal Trainer
Release Title: The Walk / Shane EP
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No.: SVT123
Release: 14.02.2014

w/ remixes by Oliver Koletzki, Oliver Schories, Zombie Disco Squad

Info
Both children of the illustrious nightlife of trend capital Zurich, Adrian Flavor and Samy Jackson – better know as Animal Trainer – made a name for themselves with their Rakete parties, held mostly at their home base, the chic Hive club. As dedicated music lovers and passionate entertainers, it was a natural progression for the duo to channel their constant appetite for music and endless parties into their own sounds. Thus, their first baby steps were released on Stil vor Talent in the form of ‘Talkshow’ in 2008. Today, in February 2014, after numerous releases on renowned labels such as Katermukke, Dantze, Off Recordings or their own Hive Audio, the joyous duo is presenting the debut album ‘Wide’ on SVT. Here, on the first of two EPs, two of the album’s highlights are featured alongside high calibre remixes by Oliver Koletzki, Oliver Schories and Zombie Disco Squad.

Animal Trainer show a completely new side to their productions on the excellent electronica track ‘The Walk’, on which dub chords pulsate through a broken beat structure and creaking synths. The fragile piano does, however, steal the show here. While Oliver Koletzki decides to significantly up the tempo on his epic, trance-inspired rework, Oliver Schories opts for a contemporary deep house interpretation built around a low-slung bass-line and emotive chords. ‘Shane’ is a classicistic house homage, alluring the listener with its springy step and feel-good vocal sample – key features that Zombie Disco Squad emphasise on their sprightly rude-boy remix. 

Selected Feedback
Noir - Nice release. On 1st listen the Oliver Koletzki remix is my fave.
Niko Schwind - great pack! thanks
Teenage Mutants - nice boys!
Kruse & Nuernberg - Cool package. I like all versions but Zombie Disco Squad is my fav. That shit is raw!
Florian Meindl - The Zombie Disco Squad Remix is quite cool!
Shir Khan - SHANE Original gefällt mir sehr gut. Gruesse an die Jungs.
Mousse T - beautiful
Low Steppa - Dope
Kry Wolf - The walk sounds real nice. Loving the ZDS mix too

When music producers Niconé and Sascha Braemer get together in the studio you can never tell when another idea will come round the corner. But what we can tell is that their newest production comes from the heart. It’s titled “Myheart” and makes for Berlin record label Dantze’s 48th release (once founded by Niconé and Philip Bader). The EP includes the original track of the same name and a remix by Alexander Gerlach. It may be purchased via <a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/myheart-feat-kimtoo/1314249">Beatport</a> since June 16th, 2014.

Bei ihrer neuesten Produktion kann man aber behaupten, dass die Nummer es aus ihren Herzen kam. “Myheart” heisst das Werk, das als 48. Katalognummer auf dem Berliner Label Dantze, welches 2006 von Niconé und Philip Bader gegründet wurde. Neben der Original-Version umfasst die EP ausserdem einen Remix von Alexander Gerlach.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .
