Hello 24! Nice to have you here. 23 is so yesterday, so over the top, really. Well, we’ve been dancing the following dances recently. What about you?

What lasts a long time usually turns out well. Having admired TEE MANGO from afar for many years, our A&R Michael Mayer took heart and invited him to this year’s TOTAL. “So In Love” is in the best tradition of the KOMPAKT minimal funk of the early years. We are delighted to have this lovely Englishman on board!

REINHARD VOIGT has always placed great emphasis on loving animals. On the track with the unsurprising title “Der, der mit dem Gummiball sang (Orange)”, he lets whole hordes of different four-legged friends and poultry on the microphone. Hopefully the stench will dissipate from the studio.

When Rhenish cheerfulness meets holiday anticipation, the result is something like this Hawaiian shirt turned music called “Chee-Caruso” by JÜRGEN PAAPE. No animals were tortured for this piece either, even if it sounds like it.

We stay in the realm of fauna and turn our attention to London’s award-winning pedigree dog REX THE DOG. “Laika” is a heart-warming ode to the mongrel dog of the same name, who was the first living creature to make it from the streets of Moscow into space. She would have loved that bleep.

A little-known fact about MICHAEL MAYER is that he is one of the fastest crossword puzzle foxes on the left bank of the Rhine, always in relentless rivalry with Wolfgang Voigt, who thinks he is even faster. The big battle is yet to come. Uninvited guest with five letters? “Urian”.

As an integral part of the family, JONATHAN KASPAR is of course not to be missed. “Are You” celebrates the kind of early morning rapture that is commonplace at his new DJ venue, the brand new Cologne superclub FI. Everything is so colourful here.

SASCHA FUNKE takes a bow to one of the greats of German showbiz with the trippy electro smasher “The Heck”. Born – like DJ Koze and Barnt – in Flensburg, died in Berlin in 2018 and wore glasses. More will not be revealed.

More emotion, more love, more sing-along factor? Si, claro! ARGIA’s “Love Keeps You Running” masterfully combines groove and pop – a blend that sounds very familiar to us. She may be at home in Madrid, but there’s Cologne DNA in her somewhere. We’re sure of it.

Let’s meet the legends, the veterans! JÖRG BURGER is still in a psychedelic mood in 2024. That suits him, that’s where he needs to be, that’s where we want him to be. A parallel universe is conceivable in which such music is affectionately called Goa.

Before going to bed, the WASSERMANN reads us a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights. At the same time, we focus on a point between everything, but really everything, and absolute, stark naked nothingness. 3, 2, 1… Let go.

It seems having a pretty wide emotional range.
Something that makes me feel really happy or really sad or somehow nostalgic or just anything..
I could feel emotions, pouring out of the keys he played ...

Exclusive  Stimming & Worgull - Cwejman's Tale

Two of the scene's most divine and iconic producers, namely Martin Stimming and Marcus Worgull, team up for their debut EP Eiger Nordwand on Henrik Schwarz's Sunday Music Records. And while the EP's title track is – at least when it comes to the name of the track – referring to the Alps Cwejman's Tale tells the story of “a lonely wolf“ who had already worked on the bass line before the Rhenish blithe spirit Marcus Worgull joined because his train had been late. But the passionate artist of course added his note to the track, specifically the organic sounding and hunting lead synth-melody is an ideal co-production of the befriended artists and is, in the course of the track fortified with single but not singular piano sounds giving Cwejman's Tale a slightly melancholic yet peaceful vibe that could easily represent the harmony of Martin's and Marcus' eleven year long lasting friendship, which is musically captured in this track and the EP.

Stimming's and Worgull's mutual EP Eiger Nordwand will be released on Sunday Music Records April 17th, 2020.
