Hey Tony, wieder mal top! Wie heißt der Titel?

oh haha der track 💥 hab mich früher immer gegenüber meinen Brüdern geschämt, dass ich den mag ❤️😅

2024++

Throughout my career, I’ve created (or co-created) some iconic mixtapes.  Viva La Hova.  Dillagence.  Ready To Boom.  That mixtape with Adele.  And of course, the Summertime series with Jazzy Jeff.

But this one here (probably my last ever mixtape, to be honest) is special.

The music.  The concept.  And even the origin story.

Recently, I was blasting Jay-Z’s The Blueprint in honor of its 20th anniversary.

My fiancé Carolyn was upstairs playing lots of Beyoncé to balance out the incessant amount of Hov playing in my office.

At one point, both playlists synced on beat and my mind was blown.

My first thought: THIS SHOULD BE AN ALBUM

I called up my creative partner Chi Duly (the most talented musician I know) and we fleshed out the idea for this project.

I dug up all the classic Blueprint samples (and some other classic Jay sources, as well).  

Chi acquired a bunch of Beyoncé acapellas.   And then we got to work.

23 songs.  All songs produced exclusively for this tape.  These are not deejay blends.  This is original production using the original samples with lots of other fun things added in.

(And, of course, some rare and timely Jay-Z verses sprinkled in for good measure).

I’m not sure if we will ever get The Carters, Part 2.

But until that day… we have something just as good. :)

This is the most creative thing I have ever been a part of.

This is Beyoncé meets The Blueprint.

This is THE B-PRINT.

Sommerhitz @ Wohnzimmer 25.6.22.

let's all do it again!
we catched a lot of love and fun in the friday evening sun with sin family at the beach.
but even when almost everything is perfect, sometimes something goes wrong. unfortunately our live recording crashed because of less turntable grounding (although they were properly grounded to the mixer we had some bad background noise).
so we decided to do it again. 
for your pleasure: a love thang with the same setting, memories of an absolute evening, smooth and lazy.
(if you want to check the original recording, just tell us. we will transfer the file to you)

laid back - sunshine reggae

bow mods - country girl cage aviary remix
the balearic sound of the cure - close to me 
mindless boogie - la nuit, le nuit(skinny joey edit)
late nite tuff guy - africa
herp albert - rise kompleks remix

Mellow Morning @ Wohnzimmer 20.10.23.

Wow, what an unforgettable night at the @zero_community Masquerade this past weekend. After a decade of being part of the ZERO crew, I'm in blown away by how this event keeps evolving and getting better every year. Endless gratitude to our talented team and the best crowd in the world. 

Here's the recording from my 6am Sunday morning set in the courtyard.

ZEROLIVE 014: Lovecraft - ZERO Masquerade 2024

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

Cuddle Cast #21 comes from Zurich based @aka_tony

We have been celebrating his sets for many years and are excited to welcome him now also to the hug records family now. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

Cuddle Cast #21 - Aka-Tony

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Heute von und mit @ciaoella. Dieses Sorbet schmeckt nach Womenpower. Überwältigend gegen patriarchale Tristesse, queerphobie und weibliche Repression - Aromatisch im Abgang für soziale Selbstbestimmung und Akzeptanz von Vielfalt.
