itz not me itz you grumpy ;)

ABOUT:
A record of big pop moments and globe trotting arrangements in technicolor, these songs focus on a five year period of struggle, self discovery, growth and renewal in the life of songwriter/record-maker David Karsten Daniels. During this time DKD got married, had a kid and experienced a crisis of self-identity. Losing himself in self-help books and the Enneagram, many of these songs appear as mantras for a new husband and father trying to trade control and ego for connection and meaning. While a few of the songs flash back to easygoing youthful times, most deal very directly with the day to day of trying to survive and thrive in a new reality (with a handful of the songs following DKD into alternate realities as Larry Ellison, a Ghanaian treasure hunter and a rabbit). End the end, the album is a sort of letting go - shedding a pervasively melancholic youth, discarding a fabricated self in order to participate in an ever-evolving and interdependent family unit. 

Along the way David fell deep in love with the sounds of Fela Kuti, Congolese and Indonesian music, fun. and Kanye West. Roughly half of these songs feature extensive collaboration with songwriter/producer/filmmaker Chris Walker (Driver Friendly/Hopeless Records/Danger Films) whose focus on rhythm, faster tempos and relentless hooks helps gives the record a feeling of urgency and buoyancy rarely found on David's previous albums.  

A handful of the other songs feature the inspired performances of friends and family - among them David’s wife and son, his brother and sister-in-law Dane and Abbey Daniels and friends Kyle Henson and Ben Jousan. In at strange turn of events, Austin, TX singer Lex Land (NBC’s ‘The Voice’) briefly appears...

FRITZ KALKBRENNER - Void
Fritz Kalkbrenner, berlinese, è un DJ e produttore di successo, tra i più originali in circolazione. Ed è anche il fratello di Paul Kalkbrenner, quello del film “Berlin Calling” (la colonna sonora l’hanno scritta insieme – ve la ricordate “Sky and Sand”?). Fritz Kalkbrenner è un produttore di peso nel panorama internazionale (ha venduto più di 200mila album nella sua carriera ed è abituato al tutto esaurito). Ritorna sulle scene con un nuovo singolo, “Void”. I suoi freddi electro beat si uniscono ai suoni caldi presi in prestito dalla musica soul, una caratteristica tutta sua che ne fa un personale marchio di fabbrica. “Void” è una traccia carismatica, emozionante e forse anche un po’ malinconica. Brividi tradotti in parole e musica: tutto quello che dovrebbe bastare a riempire le nostre giornate.
Arriva con un pacchetto remix davvero fortissimo firmati da alcuni tra i nomi più forti della club scene globale: Gui Boratto, André Hommen, Baron Dafoe e Talul. E c’è anche un remix firmato dall’italiano Spada che si conferma ancora una volta tra i più interessanti nuovi produttori della scena internazionale.
La ciliegina sulla torta sarà il video. Fritz ha visto cose che voi umani non potete neanche immaginare…

VILLA NAH: LOVE CHANCE - From the upcoming album "Ultima"
ISRC: FISR61600024

Villa Nah is back after a five-year hiatus as the critically acclaimed synth duo returns to live form with their new material, of which earlier on Spring 2016 released ‘Stranger‘ gives us a sneak peek. Love Chance is the second single from the upcoming second album “Ultima”. Duo’s distinctive sound is filled with ageless synth pop doused in dreamy synthesizers and Juho Paalosmaa’s even more forlorn vocals.

Villa Nah´s Juho & Tomi: “For the summer of '16, we wanted to serve a sunny slice of romance, the sweet kiss of a Love Chance. With ripples of synths and sheer optimism, this is our soundtrack for those July afternoons.”

Villa Nah is a Finnish pop duo consisting of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä. Villa Nah's sound is heavily influenced by 1980's synthpop. Producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen co-produced the band's debut album Origin and it was released in Finland in March 2010 by Sähkö Recordings's sub label Keys of Life. The album reached number seven on the Official Finnish Album List. 

The East Helsinki pairing of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä consolidated their position by supporting OMD on their UK Autumn tour. However, the two childhood friends went quiet afterwards and Juho Paalosmaa formed SIN COS TAN with ‘Origin’  co-producer Jori Hulkkonen;

SIN COS TAN’s three acclaimed albums to date, ‘Sin Cos Tan’ , ‘Afterlife’  and ‘Blown Away’ , plus their most recent EP ‘Smile Tomorrow Will Be Worse’ , filled the void left by VILLA NAH. But the Finnish duo are now back!

Live dates are planned for this summer, for example next one at Flow Festival, Helsinki on Sunday 14.8.2016 while the new “Ultima” album is set to feature songs such as ‘Love Chance’ and ‘Stranger’.

Love Chance

VILLA NAH: Love Chance

Yeah you tried but it failed you,
Must get a job 'cause your told to.
She works all year, she slaves away,
Just for another package holiday
Chasing paper in a job that just don't pay.

(Ah oh Ah oh) We don't belong

Yeah I tried but it failed me,
I'd get a career but I'm to lazy.
What's there to see, it ain't clear,
Lining other peoples pockets for another year,
There's summet out there but aint here.
