Info:
Web Web with their sixth album in seven years and with a new touch. More psychedelic, sometimes more krauty than before. 
This time, WEB WEB in their original line-up (without Max Herre) have (again) chosen a special guest: JJ Whitefield (The Poets Of Rhythm / Karl Hector & The Malcouns / Syrup), who contributes the fantastic guitar sound.
His riffs are sometimes funky as with the Poets Of Rhythm or Syrup, or more psychedelic as with Karl Hector & The Malcouns or his many live and studio recordings with Embryo. The sound color of his guitar gives the album the thrust into the wonderful atmosphere of spacey jazz-kraut bands of the seventies.

The concept of the album should be the exact opposite of the previous WEB MAX album (WEB MAX II): Back to the (WEB WEB) roots, with spontaneous, improvised pieces, fragments, ideas that mean the greatest possible liberty and live spirit.
And the idea of bringing JJ Whitefield on board was just as unpredictable and improvised: one day before the session, Roberto Di Gioia thought to himself:
"JJ and I have always lived in Munich. But unfortunately, we've never really crossed paths. I'm a great admirer of his art, his music, his way of playing. He is so inspiring because he doesn't compromise. He plays in his own way, he's not a copy of anyone or anything."

So Roberto spontaneously called JJ and asked him if he could imagine playing on one or two songs. JJ immediately said yes, and a day later he was in the studio.
They actually only played two songs: One lasted 25 minutes, the other 45 minutes. And most of the tracks (apart from a few others without him) for the album "Plexus Plexus", which means something like: Network, interweaving.
The 14 compositions were created over two days, recorded by Jan Krause (Beanfield) in Munich. The energetic live session lasted twice 10 hours, and everyone - Roberto Di Gioia (Rhodes, Fender Precision Bass, Moog, Mellotron, percussion), Christian von Kaphengst (Fender Precision Bass, Rhodes), Peter Gall (drums, percussion, Fender Rhodes), Tony Lakatos (tenor saxophone, flute) - was “on fire” to the core. The musicians switched instruments to create a completely different overall sound: Kaphengst on Fender Rhodes sounds different to Roberto, his playing has a different harmonic structure, and Roberto on bass is familiar from numerous Max Herre recordings, or from Till Brönner's album “Till Brönner”, and of course also from the “Let Yourself Be Loved” by Joy Denalane, which he produced and which was released on Motown Records.

Michael Reinboth (Compost) was present at the session and spontaneously made a small request: "Hey, why don't you play Moondog's "Bird's Lament"? So they listened to the original once (!) and the guys played it through twice in their irresistibly professional way. 

The cover artwork is once again by Jan Steins and continues the series of fantastic illustrations for all Web Web albums.

High horse (DFA DJ Edit by Matt Cash and James Murphy)

Presenting the first single taken from Gabriele Poso’s forthcoming compilation on Mr Bongo, Ritmo Italiano ‘Unspoken Sounds of Italian Tamburo’. Tony Cercola ‘Lumumba’ is just one of the mesmerising tracks that Sardinian multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer, Poso, has curated for this captivating new compilation. It’s an under-the-radar, percussive Italo-disco / proto-house dancer, originally landing on the Italian label Tendance in 1987.

“How can one not be overwhelmed by the energetic force of Tony Cercola? An incredible artist who emerged in the 1970s within the so-called Neapolitan Power movement,” Gabriele mentions. Cercola’s track ‘Lumumba’ showcases the vibrance of Italy’s cultural crossroads, with influences from the Mediterranean, Africa and Europe all rolled into this dynamic tribal whirlwind.

Built upon a foundation of gated snares, flavourful bongos and a driving synth pop bassline, ‘Lumumba’ oozes ‘80s dancefloor energy. Reverberating chords and deft keys are layered up in masterful fashion, as earworm chants and a hypnotising lead vocal draw you in deeper. It's a perfect crossover track for a leftfield electronic dancefloor set and is tailormade to ramp up the intensity when the time is right.

“No Cigar” is a track that didn’t make it onto 2023’s 5 Songs, which was, technically, five songs, so there wasn’t room. It’s a pokey, plonky bit of dance music from Shit Robot (aka Marcus Lambkin), made with Joe Goddard and Al Doyle at their RAE Studios in London.

It sounded… dubby. Like “what if Adrian Sherwood got his hands on this?” dubby. So we asked. And he said yes!

The b-side is classic Sherwood at the controls—a version that’s not fully exploded, but submerged, warped, a little demented. We’re honored and still hearing crazy new sounds every time we play it.

The “No Cigar” 12-inch is out July 25. Pre-order it now before you can’t.

Eric Broucek was the ur-engineer of the most fertile era of DFA Studios, from about 2003 to 2008 (no one knows anything precisely about that time, as it’s all lost in the fog of chaos). His hand was on all of the remixes, LPs, dance 12s. He was there in that over-designed gear dungeon almost every day, recording, mixing, struggling to not roll his eyes at Tim and me. And somewhere in that fog, he quietly dropped limited runs of three 12-inch delayed reaction bombs on his own label Stickydisc Recordings—two under the name Babytalk, and one as Watussi with another DFA regular, Morgan Wiley.

Back in the day, Eric did not want his music released on DFA. He wanted to forge his own identity, which he did, sending out music that wandered from the DFA path with its uniquely wonky, upended and understated power. His music is so unlike everything else of that era, so profoundly singular, that it still sounds completely out of time.

A few years back, I started DJing the tracks again, and saw how the world was still surprised by what Eric had made, and the idea of this compilation was born.

So, in the end, Eric, we totally got to release your records anyway. We heart you, man.

It wasn’t really hiding, just sitting quietly online. But Tom Sharkett’s edit of “Home” was too good to ignore. Originally a bootleg we first heard played on Flo Dill’s Breakfast Show on NTS, it wormed its way into our hearts and never left. So we made it official. Sometimes the internet actually makes your life better.
