DJ Koze, Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß und die Düsseldorf Düsterboys verzaubern mit einer berührenden Hommage an Holger Biege - einer, der legendären Architekten des ostdeutschen Souls. DJ Koze beweist erneut, dass er ein unvergleichliches Gespür für das Außergewöhnliche besitzt. Um die eine Zeile "Du hast erzählt, gelacht/Mir gezeigt, wie schön du bist" aus dem Song „Bleib doch“ (1978) von Holger Biege webt Koze ein kleines Kunstwerk, das gleichermaßen von nostalgischer Tiefe und futuristischen Elementen durchdrungen ist.

Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß (Frontmann der endkranken Beatsteaks) öffnet uns mit seiner himmlisch strahlenden Stimme die Herzen. Mit offenem Visier – pur und geradeheraus – singt er die Liebeserklärung seines Lebens.

Auf einer Wolke schwebend, versprühen die Düsseldorf Düsterboys lyrischen Sternenstaub mit ihrem kongenialen Harmoniegesang – fluffig und bizarr zugleich. Es fühlt sich an, als hätte dieses kosmische Quartett eine Zeitmaschine bestiegen und wäre in die Gegenwart zurückgekehrt, um die Essenz vergangener Tage in die heutige Matrix zu pflanzen.

„Wie schön du bist“ ist nicht nur eine Reminiszenz an Holger Bieges Schaffen, sondern eine liebevolle Verbeugung vor seinem musikalischen Gesamtwerk. Es ist eine Hymne an die zeitlose Magie der Musik und die unvergängliche Kraft der Liebe, die uns alle verbindet.

Koze, Arnim und die Düsterboys haben hier etwas Einzigartiges geschaffen: eine Perle – eine Hommage, eine Zeitreise und ein Liebesbrief in einem. Musik kann wirklich etwas Magisches sein.

Control

DJ Koze's 2013 album opus Amygdala has continued to bewitch all who encounter it since its release. Tipped as his own personal Sgt. Pepper, the sublime long-player revealed a fully-realised and personal body of work, complete with a classic songwriting at its core, House in its heart, and veins coursing with psychedelic color. La Duquesa' was the album's dreamy single standout, a journey into deep, tropical ecstasy. XTC' begins in the same spirit, and captures the all the blissful allusions of its name, but its initial gentility belies the deep intensity to come. Floating pads glow with celestial ambience as a kick drum is gradually coaxed into solid form, and the introduction of spoken text begins the second act. Many people are experimenting with the drug Ecstasy,' it says, ...is the drug like the lie and meditation the truth Or am I missing something that could really help me". XTC' then transforms: sweetly imploring tones become demanding, gentle gradients between chords turn hard-edged, and sharp hi-hats cut through the haze. Complete with Koze's signature percussive quirks, it drives towards the track's final pay off: an undeniable, all-consuming, irresistible high. Knee On Belly' recalls Koze at his most tongue-in-cheek and overt, it is bright, bold and literally brassy, using cut-up horns of all shapes and sizes to patchwork together his own unique arrangement. With the highs and mid ranges accounted for, Koze adds in a swollen, thrumming bass line to mix to bring this floor-filler to life. Knee on Belly' recalls a raw, filtered and funky approach to groove, with a nod to disco house and the art of artful sampling, as it orbits between its own neon highs and simmering lows.

DJ Koze - Mariposa

Artist: Marsmobil
Title: Sometimes I Don't Regret (2nd Radio Single)
...taken from the forthcoming album “Fairytales Of The Supersurvivor”
Catalog No: CPT 513-3
Format: Digital Single
release: 2018-01-19

“Sometimes I Don’t Regret” is the second single taken from the new fifth Marsmobil album.... It is sheer bliss pop, gentle chugging, while making a strong determination. An electro-pop song about the significance of indifferent topics. Roberto Di Gioia used the legendary vocoder Korg VC-10, and he plays the Korg PS–3100, an rare instrument, only 330 of the PS–3100 were ever built. Produced by Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister).

Art pop meets Mongolian throat singing, Blade Runner meets Walter Carlos (Clockwork Orange), Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan (Bowie’s favourite band) meet Tame Impala.
The fifth album from Marsmobil has been hailed by many as their best yet. With closer ties to “Minx” (2006) than the last two albums, “Fairytales Of The Supersurvivor” returns to Marsmobil’s signature strength of wondrously brilliant songs (“And The Fishes In The Ocean”, “Shadows Of The Inner Light”) that blend off-the-wall cinemascope sounds with dazzling beats and punchy, powerful hooks to create uniquely distinctive art pop anthems.
As always with Marsmobil, Roberto Di Gioia writes, plays, sings and programs everything himself. Here, as on “Minx”, he’s brought in support from a fabulous singer – the very wonderful Amber Lin, who contributes vocals on four songs. All the cover illustrations are also by Di Gioia.
Multi-instrumentalist Roberto Di Gioia needs little introduction. The curious can explore his biography, discography and extensive lists of projects and collaborations as musician and songwriter (see below) for an impression of the hugely diverse achievements of this multi- talent and brilliant musician.
As a topical heads-up, Roberto Di Gioia is also the founder of the German jazz supergroup Web Web and released the album “Oracle” in September 2017. The second Web Web album will follow in early 2018, hard on the heels of the fifth Marsmobil release. Di Gioia also wrote and produced “Teufelswerk” for DJ Hell and contributed virtually all the songs on Hell’s latest album, “Zukunftsmusik”.
