Strange but true. Headfire International is now celebrating its 10th release.
I'm more than happy to have Steve Bug by my side for this special moment. Steve and I have a friendship for more than 10 years, which has already been reflected musically in the last 10 years, in the form of various tracks and remixes on his label Pokerflat Recordings.
Steve was a musical inspiration for me very early on and his tracks have contributed a lot to my development as a music producer.
It took a few years until we found the time to put together tracks, but now we've done it and releasing two works.

Already with the first LUX remix package (SK272, released Feb, 5th) Paskal & Urban Absolutes together with Sonar Kollektiv assembled the cutting edge of the current German club culture:
From Manuel Tur, Trickski over Sevensoul & Bender and Henry L & Ingo Sänger to Sello and Oliver Marquardt some of the hottest players in the game between Munich and Berlin handed in works which are by now default luggage of any upright DJ.

But also the second LUX remix suitcase packs a punch and is – be assured – jam-packed with potential club monsters of all the nights to come. Starting off things is this time not a German but the English man Jimpster. Having founded the deephouse empire Freerange Records this DJ and producer of outstanding merit knows exactly how to trim club music in order to cause frenzy on almost every dancefloor on this planet. His remix of “Bits Of Me” is taking the route towards Berlin School techno sure enough and gains pace, especially on the dub version.

The second track, “Hold Your Head Up”, remixed no more than four times (on the digital release), features the soul-soothing voice of Sonar Kollektiv act Arnold Kasar, who is working on his new solo album(!). Taking these vocal parts to account in particular, the remix by Dortmund based Larse embeds them into a sophisticated arrangement. Which could be shelved somewhere between smooth deep house and the contemporary interpretation of Boogie, which Larse is firmly campaigning for for a while now.
Berlin based Max Heese aka Langeberg (Drumpoet Community, Dessous Recordings etc.) attends to the matter in a total different way by pumping up the song with adrenaline and a hearty dash of testosterone. In over eight minutes you can witness the genesis of a danceable power bar. The 23-years old Kai von Glasow from Berlin is responsible for the probably most neoteristic remix in this series. His interpretation sees the encounter of hypermodern dub aesthetics and bass music how it should sound in 2014.

Last but not least and – as well as the remix by Kai von Glasow – only available on the digital release you get the version by Nils Penner. Having released already on Freerange Records and Wazi Wazi Music, the DJ and producer living in Munich impresses with a ludicrous drum and percussion programming while getting almost cosmic with the interweaving synth pads.

Five, or six remixes (if you count the dub version by Jimpster), which show again strikingly what is and will be the score in the best clubs worldwide in the next few months.

Fecha de Lanzamiento:

16 de noviembre de 1969 en el Primer Festival Iberoamericano de la Canción en Buenos Aires,

"Balada para un loco"
Astor Piazzolla, Horacio Ferrer & Roberto Goyeneche

uno de los tangos más emblemáticos y revolucionarios de todos los tiempos. Compuesta por el maestro Astor Piazzolla y con letra del talentoso Horacio Ferrer, "Balada para un loco" es una obra maestra que fusiona el tango tradicional con el nuevo tango, creando una experiencia musical única.

Esta pieza destaca por su uso audaz de la orquesta de tango, incluyendo el icónico bandoneón, y por una estructura poco convencional que se asemeja más a un monólogo teatral que a una canción tradicional.

We're super excited to have none other than the Spanish masterclass producer Pablo Bolivar for our latest premiere with his track 'Vanished' coming soon on none other than Sasse's very own Moodmusic Records

‘Vanished’ follows and takes things up a notch, boasting a trippy melodic Techno framework encompassing; a lush trance-esque main synth melody, dark progressive chord-stabs and a steady four-to-the-floor rhythm.

All in all this is a very confident and powerful release that showcases the Spaniard at his very best.

E-Dancer EP

Renegade

Pre-order: https://lifeanddeath.lnk.to/AmoreABordoPista

Contemporary italo-disco and foggy rave culture mark Margot’s first 12” on Life and Death, a welcomed surprise. Drawing on nearly two decades of production expertise, Amore a Bordo Pista recalls the Riccione duo’s sparking remix of Daphni, math-house Holger moment and now-classic Border Community offering. 

Machines breathe on A1, where throbbing synth-bass meets timeless vocoder, as premiered on DJ Tennis’ Essential Mix debut. The afterparty and warehouse meld on the flip, a mind-bending time-warp - somewhere between panic and introspection. 

Technicolour signee, Dauwd, aces his re-depicton of the title track, hinting at golden-era Chain Reaction, while Kiwi slows down Salsce, retaining all of its drive, adding further cosmic brushstrokes.

Four weapons of the mind, just in time for Life and Death’s annual Art Basel showcase, a trippy affair.

Collection of music I have created over the past couple years that I never got around to releasing due to laziness, insecurity and other circumstances completely in my control.

In 2007, Lukas Greenberg released his successful first album “Rhode Stories” on Plastic City. It was an outstanding collection of tracks - influenced by people, life and musical history and hits bulls eye aiming at the Plastic City philosophy. The “Rhode Stories”  verify his sense for high quality listening stuff: He rolls out his musical range while connecting all tracks like writing a book. For the his second  album “Prisoner With A Key”, Lukas Greenberg improves that concept from his first album": Spreading out his facilities in combining and creating sounds, he wrotes chapters for his new "book of sounds". The chronological order of the tracks is his story of the second step of his musical work on Plastic City. The result is a great combination of warm, bright and tight tracks which we inclined to call album art. To get the first impression of the current "Lukas Greenberg-Sound" you can just listen to the deep albumtrack "The Green".

The Swiss-born buraq is a DJ, music com- poser and producer based in Zurich, here making his 2nd outing on Steve Bug's Sub- lease Music.
The Untold EP dives straight into the good stuff - the title track is a juicy tech house rol- ler infused with years of experience of the dancefloor. buraq weaves together thick kicks, snappy percussion, deep chords and a sick bassline to create a fully essential tune.

'Unsaid' picks up the baton and runs with it - a taut groove ramps up the tension before melodic loops and a restless synth bring the track to full fruition.

'Unspoken' completes the triptych - another fully primed burner for the late night sessi- ons that balances a powerful groove with light touches.
