It’s been a while since Flashbaxx released his critically acclaimed The Changing Tides EP (Blackfish Productions / BaxxBeatMusic). Flashbaxx mastermind Daniel Stenger began working on an album to follow the EP in 2008, but inspiration was fleeting and music making was difficult, and Daniel was not satisfied with his early drafts. He seemed to lose his enthusiasm, so the producer decided to take a break from Flashbaxx and devote himself to other projects.

Not that Daniel was resting … rather, he was restless. He expanded his record label BaxxBeatMusic, produced and recorded other bands and artists, composed music for commercials, and frequently performed as DJ. From time to time a Flashbaxx loop appeared on his sequencer, but he still was not able to complete the puzzle. But after a few years of all this activity and exposure to the music of others (in the clubs as well as the studios) Daniel’s inspiration returned and he was finally ready to push the Flashbaxx musical vision into 2013.

The fog first lifted in 2011 when Daniel produced “So Close To Midnight” in a single evening, signaling a triumphant return to the studio. In the next eighteen months Daniel prodded Flashbaxx back to life, track by track. It was like awakening from long creative hibernation, and Daniel’s newfound creative joy is evident in the album’s music.

After the foundation was set, the work on the album concept began. When the Aschaffenburg-based producer couldn’t find a sonic connection between two songs he remedied this by producing a new joint to fill the gap and complete the desired arc of the record. Eventually the thirteen tracks formed a cohesive excursion, and Daniel’s feeling of accomplishment inspired the album’s title: Something To Believe.

Certainly the strength of the album lies in its versatility. To begin, Stenger combines soulful downtempo and smooth soul with brass kicking nu-funk. The album then takes a trip down the coast of Latin America while grooving through disco and deep house-influenced club tracks. Eventually, things resolve surprisingly in a Bill Conti manner, transporting the listener to when the movie Rocky had just appeared in cinemas. Following his passion for funk and jazz Daniel gave much attention to the organic details, combining this with more loop oriented songs, settling for a sound somewhere between the couch and the dance floor. It’s a bit ‘old school,’ but far away from being frumpy … sometimes laid back, sometimes demanding body motion. Flashbaxx isn’t reinventing the wheel, but the truck now has some cool new slippers.

Besides guest musicians like The Haszlbeatz and Christoph Matyaschek, Flashbaxx worked with vocalists Tanja Proessler and Mathias Fischer as well as the very brilliant Seth Sharp from distant Reykjavik. The appearance of guest musicians and vocalists marks a first for Flashbaxx and gives Something To Believe the stamp of a producer album. Flashbaxx is back … and he’ll make you a believer.

    BaxxBeatMusic is proud to introduce you the first 12“ single by a hot 10-piece funk explosion called Carlos Reisch from Nuermberg, Germany. "Control Of Your Mind,“ also prepped to be the first vinyl release on BaxxBeatMusic, is a smooth blend of funk, soul, hip hop, and jazz featuring exceptional instrumentation and vocals. The track shines further with a quartet of dancefloor-ready remixes from an accomplished platoon of remixers.

    Kinski (Daktarichild) and Shantisan (Salted Soul) seemed to have a really good time in Oliveto. Best proof of this fact is their sunshine flavoured "Control Of Your Mind" remix, that brings back a touch of summer.

    BaxxBeatMusic artist Wolfram Gruß aka PNFA shows his wide range of productions skills in his fantastic remix. With sick synth sounds, some wicked drum programming, and the raps of Carlos Reisch's frontman Pirzi this producer from Darmstadt (DE) made a true head-nodding hip hop 2.0 remix.

    Aschaffenburg (DE) based producer and founder of BaxxBeatMusic Flashbaxx provides a laid back jazz and latin flavoured 'no need for a snare drum' edit of the original. Just clap your hands and join the groove!

    With his house rework of "Control Of Your Mind“ DJ, producer and head of Innvision Records (AT) Ed Royal closes this release and opens the dancefloor at the same time. He must be a genius...

    WHO THE FUNK IS CARLOS REISCH???
    They are your next door band, but they also represent far more than just young musicians meeting by chance in the lift to the top. Carlos Reisch is friendship, a way of life – on stage, in the studio, or on the way home from the rehearsal room. Carlos Reisch is a modern, creative cluster without limits, uniting artists from many nations in relaxed interaction: from Australia, from the Ivory Coast, Italy, Poland, or the German regions of Baden-Wurttemberg, Upper Palatinate, and Franconia. Carlos Reisch is festival stage as well as club concert, is jazz, funk and scat. Carlos Reisch doesn’t give a dime for old, controversial jazz or pop music dogmas, but prefers to unite different worlds. The essence lays in the beat, in the flow – the old and original essence of music ever since we can remember. Carlos Reisch is like a big city, multi-cultural and multi-layered. In musical and social terms. This band is modern, urban lifestyle, down to the smallest detail.

    Seventies funk meets today’s live rap plus a pinch of jazz – and the musical symbiosis of this young, emerging band from Nuremberg, the metropolis of Franconia, is in full effect. Live sound at club parties, a normal thing in the old days of funk, has almost disappeared from today’s clubbing and music scene. Carlos Reisch mourns this extreme loss of party culture. The atmospherically dense mix of funk a la Maceo Parker, James Brown or Bootsy Collins paired with hip hop à la A Tribe called Quest or The Roots creates an explosive sensual frenzy. Elaborate song arrangements as the basis of the band’s own compositions, underlaid with the driving groove of the rhythm section, facetious jazz harmonies and funk riffs, sharp interludes from the horn section, and above all that the lyrics, partly sung, partly rapped, in German, English, French or Spanish by the charismatic vocalists, are the very promising characteristics that make this band so special and individual. All that coming straight out of the German region of Franconia!

Daniel Stenger (Flashbaxx) / Live Set @ SWEAT Vernissage 27.04.24

Ich hatte die Ehre mein neues Live-Set in Innsbruck auf dem Bogenfest spielen zu dürfen – und das vor einer absolut traumhaften Kulisse! Trotz des frühen Slots hat sich der Platz bis zum Ende meiner Performance richtig gut gefüllt und es war mir ein Vergnügen, neue Sounds und Edits zu testen und die Energie mit euch zu teilen.

Ein großes Dankeschön geht auch an die Orga für die Einladung und die top technische Betreuung. Und vor allem an meine Crew, ohne die diese Aufzeichnung nicht möglich gewesen wäre. 

I had the honor of performing my new live set in Innsbruck at the Bogenfest – all in front of an absolutely stunning backdrop! Despite the early slot, the square filled up nicely by the end of my performance, and it was a real pleasure to test out new sounds and edits and share the energy with all of you.

A big thank you to the organizers for the invitation and the excellent technical support. And most importantly, to my crew – this recording wouldn’t have been possible without you.
