For many this is the ultimate Disco Illusion; a record that should have been epoch making in its day, something that would have been a staple for David Mancuso, Larry Levan & Ron Hardy had it ever gotten distribution when it was originally released 34 years ago. Somehow time passed it by and it was only re-discovered in a warehouse in Trinidad last year. Since then it has been gaining momentum fast, with DJ support from Moodymann, MCDE, Floating Points & Kon, as well as original copies selling for four-digit sums. Part of the illusion is in the structure of the record. The A-side begins with a beautiful hazy disco song, but suddenly an Egyptian sounding bridge turns things inside out and the song opens up into stripped back proto-house jam complete with bubbling Sun Ra synths and Black Ark tape delay action. Then there’s the b-side, which sounds like Bob James after he had a taste of callaloo, with deep electronics and a mind-melting steel pan solo.

KA-YU - IDLE MOMENTS

KA-YU, also known as Woody Latuheru is a Dutch/Moluccan producer, percussionist & DJ from Oosterwolde, a small village in Holland. He recently uses his musicality to focus more into sample-based Hip-hop and Jazz-influenced sounds, and in 2013 he started studying sound-design in Leeuwarden to improve his mixing and producing skills. Besides music, he is also a fan of photography and visual art, and that provides him with a great source of inspiration for his beats. KA-YU's goal is to try to convey a ''feel good'' factor with his music, and 'Idle Moments' does just that. Keep a lookout for some forthcoming DTW material from this man too.

Destiny Child – Loose My Breath (Four Tet Remix)

Short promo mix of forthcoming Mastermix:

Hamburg’s Front club was already the stuff of legend, when it was still open. When I was teenager on the outskirts of Frankfurt in the very early nineties - and before the name Klaus Stockhausen rang a bell - Boris Dlugosch was not only at the helm of said club, but also one of Germany’s finest purveyors of house music. Front was his home as well as the playground for a colourful bunch of club kids from all walks of life. Its roots went back to the eighties as a gay club and it branched out to anyone who couldn’t „even dance straight “. 
The rumours about this club were strong enough to get people like Playhouse’s Ata on a road trip and have youngsters like me fantasizing about it. The musical menu during that time was the monster house sound from the US and the UK that rotated deepness with hysteric glamour.  
Of course, Front’s sound was finely nuanced. Boris Dlugosch learned his craft from Klaus Stockhausen, who stopped his DJ career in 1992 (because - as he told me in an interview about ten years later - „every Bratwurst wanted to be a DJ all of a sudden“) to pursue a career as fashion editor and stylist.  Stockhausen’s thing as a resident (which actually meant to play at ONE club EVERY week during that time), was a mixture between electro, US-American R&B, British street soul, new wave and the emerging house sound. If you manage to dig up old recordings on the internet (a musical diet I lived on for a few years), there are striking similarities to the way classic US-American DJ would play, while adding a fierce uniqueness that won’t let it pale in comparison. On the contrary, the sound of Front is one of the most interesting, you will ever lend your ears, too. 
So, why a Front mix and compilation 21 years after the club closed its doors? On the one hand, because it’s story hasn’t been told yet and it’s worth telling. On the other one, German clubs like Robert Johnson or Berghain - as divergent as they might are - both resemblance Front’s spirit, diversity and musical open mindedness. And finally, because dancing is still fun.
Even, if putting a compilation like together this took over one year in the making, is peppered with licensing horrors and other obstacles to dreadful to share them here, we are happy to have it done. Spread over a double-CD and two compilation LPs that are mainly chronological, Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch picked and mixed some of the club’s most cherished records and sweetest moments. This is the sound of Front. And even, if I was never able to move my feet on its dance floor, I for one would be a very different DJ without it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 About it began in africa

it began in africa - the official kittball records charity project in cooperation with the african childrens choir

Electronic Music Scene Expresses Solidarity with Africa

Of course, everybody has a clear idea, when thinking of DJ’s.
They are flown in, stay in a luxurious hotel, are invited to dinners and drinks and even get, sometimes a decent, lolly.
And the cheerful club scene celebrates keen and generous too. In fact there is nothing to be said against it. However, in our fast-moving business we should not forget those people on our planet who could exist a month or longer from one of your club visits.

And what has Africa to do with it?

The electronic scene often uses African influenced music and rhythm. DJ's are sampling recordings and percussions of African origin and have big success with these. Meanwhile the political situation all over the world is reaching a constantly bigger imbalance from which the poorest in Africa suffer from, most of all. Especially children take it very hard. They're growing up in environs without any chances at all and so often they have to bare a live under inhuman circumstances. No education, no medical supply and worst of all, not enough to eat.

To fight against this constantly getting worse situation, and to get a support for these people, the Charity Project 'it began in Africa' from Juliet Sikora and Tube & Berger was invented. Together with other artists from the electronic music scene we want to give a sign to cause people to do something.

In cooperation with the charity organisation 'The African Children's Choir™' well-known artists and DJ's will release a remix compilation on the basis of 15 songs from an African children choir. Already now the interest, even from real famous DJ's, is enormous. In spite of full appointments books and touring dates throughout the world, several DJ’s want to join the project and chip in a remix. Present are e.g.: „Timo Maas“, „Ida Engberg“, „Format B“, „Martin Eyerer“, „Namito“, „Daniel Steinberg“ and of course „Juliet Sikora“ and „Tube & Berger“. These mixes can then be heard on the Remix-Compilation „it began in Africa“.

The complete receipts will be donated to the children’s choir and their further projects. E.g. building projects, to help founding more nurseries, schools and music schools in the most affected African areas and get children away from the street. We sincerely hope, with this project, to be able to assist Africa in some way; empower for self-help.
