Les princes des villes
Briller comme une étoile filante
C'est l'aventure qui les tente
Et puis cet étrange pouvoir
Qui s'est glissé dans leur regard
Vivre plus vite que les autres
Avoir un pied dans le futur
Vivre les rêves qui sont les nôtres
Et obéir à sa nature
Puisque rien ne dure vraiment...

Mais les princes des villes
N'ont pas besoin d'armure
Dans les grandes voitures
Les rêves sont faciles
Et leur nuit de vinyle
Sont collées sur les murs
Mais rien n'est vraiment sûr
Et l'avenir fragile
Pour les princes des villes

Des idées bizarres
Vibrent au rythme des guitares
Des rock'n roll stars
Qu'on les adore, qu'on les jalouse
Comme des maîtresses andalouses
Qu'on leur élève des statues
Qu'on les affiche dans les rues
Mais au matin d'un nouveau jour
Qu'on les piétine, qu'on les insulte

Michel Berger Les Princes Des Villes Plaisir de France edit rentrée des classes  2013 (unreleased)

Discocutz .3 is the newest addition of Timewarp’s solo concept project under the code name Diskocutz series. The third volume includes five tracks, two of them appeared recently on Kraak Disco compilations (volume one and volume two). With this new release Timewarp present us his freshly produced tracks with a variety from slo-mo nu disco style to faster funky and deep house tunes.

The opener track is a new remix on Timewarp’s base project Timewarp inc. The song Afrofunk was released on legendary compilation Save Your Funkin Ears and later on their second album Groovy Booty on Timewarp Music. This new version takes the boogie and disco funk vibes of the original song into a deep slow Balearic mood. Discolicous continues the trippy vibes with a groovy deep tech and nu disco spaced out style. On the same nu disco mood Skunky tune follows with cosmic melodies, a bit of tech sound with acid flavored grooves, a big fat baseline and nice organic rhodes. What Ya Say (Techdisco mix) takes the tempo faster with deep house and tech funk beats. Funk and disco style grooves are not missing, with cosmic construction and dubby chords made seriously for the dance-floors. To The Bone (Disocteka mix) closes the ep with dance-floor orientated house and disco beats, dj friendly sounds and build up into a disco tech style!

All tracks mastered by Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos.

Timewarp - Diskocutz.3 will be available on December 23rd , 2013 for sale in special edition CDR and digital download at kraakrecords.bandcamp.com and all mp3 retailers across the internet.

Mr. Confuse “Feel The Fire” (Not the complete album)

Catalogue number: LEGO 009 (CD/2LP)

LC: 14924 
EAN CD: 40 26424 00122 1
EAN 2LP: 40 26424 00125 2

Release date: Sept. 19, 2008

Mr. Confuse is a traveller between the styles. „Feel The Fire“ is the debut solo album by the producer, arranger, composer and DJ from Hannover Germany. Collecting 14 tracks on his album Mr. Confuse takes us on an excursion from HipHop to Afro, Electro and Latin back to Funk. „Feel The Fire“ comes as an organic statement for the analogue link between HipHop and Funk as well as an authentic and up-to-date plea for the original brass arrangements in the Funk and Jazz music of the Seventies.

As part of the producer team Breakout, Mr. Confuse was a household name in the Funk and HipHop community already in 2006. His idea to reinterpret Afrika Bambaataa’s „Planet Rock“ as a Funk tune and in a Jazz-Breaks version gained Breakout massive international attention. Breakout split in spring 2007 and released their last 7“ „The Funky Goofball/Lyve Wire“ during the summer of that year. Mr. Confuse kept being a requested producer. He had numerous of contributions for compilations (“Brazilectro”, “Battle Of The Year”, Viertelbar, etc.) and released three Mix-CDs („Catch The Beat“, „Confunktion“ and „Brazilian Cuts“), using a wide spectrum of styles. 

Mr. Confuse decided to produce „Feel The Fire“ in a kind of style which is typical for HipHop: „I work sampler based. You look for parts of drum loops and other pieces in a record and build new music from it. This album was created in exactly that way.“ But sampling alone is not enough: „When the structure is there I will go and meet the musicians I work with. I work pretty much autodidactic and very intuitive - this can turn out really bizarre from time to time. Sometimes I’m humming or buzzing the melody I’m looking for to the musicians. I do not play an instrument myself, except that I use the MIDI-Keyboard to be able to work with Plug-ins and think of melody and rhythm. The musicians I work with will turn the ideas which I have in my head into music.“

This concept is as exciting as it is hard work: „I will return to my Sampler with what the musicians played and often do a completely new cut. You may say that I use a musician as a sample library.“ Consequently recording „Feel The Fire“ took quite some time, exactly „from the end of 2006 up to January 2008. In the end the complete album consists now of about 10000 samples. To finish an album like that it is a matter of sweat and tears ...“.

So it comes as no surprise that Mr. Confuse can very clearly define his references and inspiration: „At the moment everything is Electro or Techno actually at least in my town. The sound is very much Eighties, so clean, full of Synthies and 808 programming. When we did Breakout in the summer of 2005 we felt completely different. It was all too clean for us, especially the mixes. I draw my influences from HipHop and I want to work on something I can identify with. HipHop is pretty much the only style I like in the Eighties, apart from Punk probably. Today everything sounds so calculated. It was the snare in the Eighties, today it is the Kick drum. What I tried is to transfer the idea, better say the musical basis of HipHop, from the Nineties back to today. This is what it was like in the Nineties: HipHop tried to transform the sounds of the Sixties and Seventies into the here and now. So it was just natural for me that I tried to keep my sound dirty like it was in the Sixties and Seventies. My main idea by doing songs like “Planet Rock” or “Lookout Weekend” was to put the Eighties back into Seventies or Sixties by using technology of the Nineties – got it!? In the UK and elsewhere there are so many new bands who release handmade organic sounding Sixties and Seventies music right now and I think that is brilliant – it sounds authentic!“

„Feel The Fire“ will be released as a download and on CD, as well as a limited edition double vinyl album.  The first single „Lookout Weekend“ is coming with remixes by Lack Of Afro and Mash & Munkee, the second single „Imóvel“ will feature mixes by Rephrase, Smoove, AIFF, Ed Royal and The Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra.

„Feel The Fire“ – Track by track in the words of Mr. Confuse:

Hurricane Jane
I am a big fan of Joe Farrell and the CTI Label. „Hurricane Jane“ is from Farrell’s 1974 album „Penny Arcade“. I took a break of that song as a basis for the intro of „Feel The Fire“. The drums are not programmed on this track, but being played live by Lars Heindorf from the band Sugarhat.
 
Lookout Weekend
„Lookout Weekend“ is a cover version of Debbie Deb’s 1984 single on Jam Packed. A bonafied Latin-Freestyle Electro classic which was originally produced by Tony Butler! I quite like the contrast to turn an 80s track into a Funk track with a dirty bass line.

Going Somewhere
„Going Somewhere“ was recorded together with my graphic designer Florian Bochnig who plays the guitar on it. Actually, he is not a professional musician, but his style fits perfectly. The trombone by Matthias Brennecke really moves this song.

Balkan Funk
Coco, Steel & Lovebomb had this 1999 track „Yachts“ together with A Man Called Adam. They sampled this 60s Brazilian sounding piano and used it as basis for their song. I found this piano very interesting and inspiring. So I had the idea of doing a similar piano line, but with a horn section and also way faster. This worked out good and gave the Latin sounding piano line, I thought of, a Balkan feeling by being played that fast with a brass section.
 
It’s Just A Blues
Emma Pujadas a.k.a. Lady EmZ from Barcelona is a MySpace connection. I think she has a brilliant voice and thought: Why not work together on something? It took months until I received the parts from her, because she did not have recording equipment at home and had to look for a studio to be able to record the song. In the end it worked out good and she had a brilliant vocal line for the song.
 
Do It Right Now
Martin “Margot” Gontarski plays bass on this track, Martin actually was the bass player of the well known German funk band Spice. This track features a really nice battle between the Hakan Türközü’s Hammond C3 organ and the incredible trumpet play by Szabolcs Smid.

Feel The Fire
„Feel The Fire“ is my highlight on the album. Henrik Pfeiffer was working on the guitar for „Lookout Weekend“ and this track at the same time, so they both sounds perfect together. Matthias Brennecke plays this incredible bass trombone which goes through the whole track and which makes it really special, just like Lalo Schifrin had this special bass trombone in his soundtracks during the Seventies. We’ve been doing the sax solo when Simo Schneider came up with the idea to do an interpolation of De La Soul’s „Ring Ring“ in it.

En Movimiento
This was the last track I recoded for the album. Contrary to the other songs it was completely conceived with samples plus an incredible brass line by Matthias Brennecke.

Groovin’ On The Spot
„Groovin’ On The Spot“ was recorded with Lionel Berton from “The Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra” out of Paris. Lionel is a great percussion player, also to be heard on „The Arrrgh Theme“ and „The Groove Merchant“. You simply do not find this authentic afro style where I come from. Same goes for a good baritone saxophone. 

The Groove Merchant
Hakan Türközü is one of the best Hammond organ players in Hannover. I am happy that he played the Hammond C3 on „The Groove Merchant“. After a long recording session for other songs we have been trying the sketch of “The Groove Merchant” just jamming around and at the end of this long day Hakan went really mad on it. 

When I Hear Music
“When I Hear Music” is the second Debbie Deb cover version on “Feel The Fire”. Inna Vysotska sings on this one as well as on “Lookout Weekend”, additional drums come a courtesy of Lars Heindorf a.k.a. DJ Soul Surfer.

Imóvel
„Imóvel“ is a collaboration with Marc Amadeus Figge who is the man behind Mo’ Horizons. Marc wrote most of the stuff with Mo’ Horizons, he is a versatile and brilliant musician and plays piano, saxophone, bass, German flute, samba percussion, melodica, drums and I do not know what else...

The Arrrgh Theme
The „Outroduction“ is dedicated to my graphic designer Florian Bochnig. He has this great street art project called Arrrgh (www.arrrgh.org) which really needs his own theme - and he plays the distorted guitar, of course!
