go nogo – Things Ain’t Right 


After a couple of months „Sad“ turned out to be a happy ending in terms of approval for many listeners, go nogo embark on a new journey. Whereas its predecessor had sort of a broken beat element paired with delayed 16th notes on Eric’s guitar, „Things Ain’t Right“ is very downbeat and smoothly build around an acoustic backdrop. Strings and Rhodes make a solemn appeal to the listener and Fred Scholl’s singing is again in line with the hymnal character of „Sad“, but this time in a joyous vein. If „Things Aint Right", well then „Some Things Ain’t Too Right“, meaning „it can’t get any better“ – this simple philosophy is based on experiencing simple pleasures, like visiting friends you haven’t seen for a while. Musically the original version is a cross of Pink Floyd’s languid moments and 90s downbeat excursions from viennese figureheads like Tosca. 

The Lonely Smoker remodels the central Rhodes chords around an eight and a half minute puffed out Chill House groove that will eventually turn on the sun when it’s dark outside. Mattzid’s go slow version will take you back to the days of Jaffa’s „Elevator“, a classic Chillout-tune of Stereo Deluxe-fame. Just made for the lounge-chair-lovers. In contrast, London-based Evil Zed drops some U.K. – Breakbeat science with his Remix. He twists and turns the vocals after the break into a cut-up scratch orgy and delivers an oldschool spin that you would not expect. Patrick Talmann takes us back to the Deep House. Lush layers in the distance yield a perfect backdrop for Eric’s balearic guitar thrown in. Last but not least, Keenhouse picks the small synth line from the original’s middle section and pitches a quote from Fred to become an arty detail to his string-piano based composition. „Things Ain’t Right“ turns into a track of its own right, Thus we renamed it to „Take Off“.... Fasten your seatbelt!

At our times of breaking news at a breakneck speed, there needs to be a soundtrack to the gunfire sensations that dull our senses. We have arrived at a moment in time where the observer does not have any sentiments towards the actual cause for the news but a habitual facebook dismay post. The most cynical aspect is the appetite for sensations that have the most shock value, fed by a trigger-happy buzz media that can't get enough clicks. The announcement that there will  be something happening beyond the spectacular is nothing but banging the drum to attract attention. Despite of the nasty subject matter, "Breaking News" is a rather sweet and soothing pop tune that is influenced by the XX, London Grammar and Beach House. In contrast to the rather bouncy House groove and the repetitive guitar triad, the scenario is somewhat creepily set with the sounds of an electrocardiogram and the heartbeat failure.

No self-indulgence here, but time for go nogo to present this vocal-free Kaito remix of their latest single "Sad". There's a contemplating mood, washed away by waves of guitar-layers and Kaito's signature sounds. The savvy combination of Tech House and Indie-styled dance music wets the appetite for more border-crossing.

Spinning the idea to marry songwriting with dancefloor qualities, it was time for Markus 'Fred' Scholl to open another chapter in his musical career. Together with befriended guitarist Eric, go nogo came to existence as a project that does convey the roots of the singer and composer. Influenced by the time of being a drummer in a group that dug the Madchester sound, go nogo has a touch of the late eighties and early nineties Britisch indiepop scene. Together with his knack for electronic music and various influences that he draws from his huge record collection, Markus ‚Fred’ Scholl creates something different with every song.  "Mr. go nogo" lives in Berlin, working as a show host for the radio station BLN.FM and on various other projects. Eric is co-owners of Emerald and Doreen Recordings together with Markus Schneider from The Robot Scientists.
