Barem - After The Storm 
MINUS110 WAV, MP3, CD, 2LP

There. Is. Nothing. Better. Than. A. Clear. Blue. Sky. After The Storm. Taken literally, the track listing for Barem’s debut LP represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. Of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey that’s about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place.

Barem has always offered a more laidback counterpoint to the edgy sounds of some of his label mates. His decision to progress in a deeper, percussive direction began with the Kolimar EP (M68) and apart from the dark, ambient intro There, this vibe dominates the first half of the album. Is and Nothing really showcase his skill at concocting instinctive, percussion driven grooves, expressing a natural inner rhythm that exploits the full stereo field. Rich, rounded drum fills puncture the hidden space behind the beats, shimmering reverbs drench the cymbals while the bass lines remain reassuringly fat and familiar, gently hypnotizing as the LP settles into its groove. By the time we reach Better the low pressure is beginning to break. Additional elements gradually make their presence felt as the beats continue to flay and splinter, phasing strings heighten the suspense and a delicate one note riff skips and bounces through spot effects and sprinkled vocal snippets as Barem coolly maintains the growing intrigue.

As if to highlight the evolving nature of the LP, the transition to the more dubbed-out Than goes almost unnoticed as the gentle undertow begins pulling us into more familiar Minus territory. Disorienting percussive delays start jarring into the void, indiscernible vocal slurs reverberate out into the corners of the room and warm, acidic bleeps start tapping at the doors of perception. By the time we reach A, the psychedelics have well and truly kicked in. The percussive onslaught of the preceding tracks gives way to a deeper, mystical atmosphere driven by shakers and hats and offset with cavernous delays and detuned pads that warp and envelope the collective consciousness in the orange-red glow of some ancient tribal ritual.

Having broken through to the other side, the eye of the storm is upon us. The last four tracks are all about the future. Clear gives ground to an abstract, subsonic groove that hisses and crackles like the dying embers of the night. A twisting motif then emerges from the flames rolling back and forth across the dance floor like some great bird stretching its wings before taking flight. Circling higher and higher, it is reduced to a distant speck before Blue - one of the definite standout tracks on the album - embarks on a spiral dive that represents Barem’s new unity of sound in one magic bullet. With an audacious swoop it scatters the storm clouds, fusing together all the contrasting aspects of his repertoire that make the album such an intoxicating journey. Sky then announces the final ascent with a long, seductive intro that crystallizes into an elegant melody, while the throbbing bass line generates another ecstatic rush of dark energy.

And then the clouds part, the sun breaks through and we’re left with the sensation of After The Storm: after the turbulence and the tumult, we’re greeted with tribal rhythms, muffled brass section and superb fretless bass riff all benefitting from a shift in 6/8 blues time signature that gives the album finale a fittingly reflective sensation – what Barem himself describes as that feeling of beauty when the dust is gone and everything is finally clear.

Second release in 2012 is Pirupa’s hard rocking debut on DESOLAT.
His “Party Non Stop” is not only a trip down memory lane crossing paths of hip house as vocal version and early ravish bleep sounds as instrumental. It’s first and foremost a house sound of now – with attitude.

Glad to present you this collab with young talent hearthug! maybe one of the maddest breakdown ever? :)) judge yourself...



H.O.S.H. teams up with one of our most focused new artists, HearThuG' for a single that could possibly be our biggest yet (we hope!) That is, if you're the type who enjoys your house music full of pumping bass, funky grooves and unforgettable spine-tingling break downs. Thus far in test runs, the crowds at SONAR seemed to make a big fuss over it - and we hope you will too.

Genre: Unicorn trance, for all we care. 
 

 
RELEASE NOTES:
 

 
Siince 2009, well before we became the Stranjjur that we are here in 2012; we have made it abundantly clear that we pride ourselves on searching for, locating and then working with and nurturing the careers of talented new artists, across the globe.
 

It's not so often that we are able to work out a deal for one of our new artists that allows him to enter the studio with one of the industry's most respected and sought after producers to collaborate on his very first single for Stranjjur -- so with that said, we are extremely pleased to announce this next release, which was the end product of that very collaboration between our very own HearThuG and the world-renowned, Diynamic/Poker Flat.Mobilee artist, known to the world simply as H.O.S.H.!
 

Together the two musicial masterminds whipped up one hell-of-a floor filler. This is "TECHNICOLOUR" .... and we hereby nominate it as most jaw-dropping, epic, abd non-trance or dubstep-influenced dance tune of the summer. 
 

Word from Ibiza already says the sit-downs have been aplentiful, but here in New York when we play it, people seem to do anything BUT sit down. You be the judge, all we can do is keep the music coming.....

Thanks Thomas <3

Hercules And Love Affair - Release Me (DJ-Kicks)

I wrote this song with my friend DJ Whitney Fierce. She is a great dj, and very knowledgable about dance music from many cultures. She also rocks food coloring for hair dye, which makes her very tasty in my book because it makes me think of Mink Stole, a great actress from Baltimore in some of John Water's films. This song lies somewhere between Stock Aitken and Waterman and Manchester's Hacienda sound, while Whitney sounds very Bananarama on it. Mark Pistel busted out his E- Max on this recording with some original samples he compiled in 91, so that made us all dance in the studio. - Andy Butler

Hi! This is my new Ep, out NOW! on Pets Recordings

Stefano Ritteri - Let Us Pray - Pets Recordings

In June 2011 the house producer Marek Hemmann and the Singer Fabian Reichelt released their first album to the masses on Freude Am Tanzen. Only Our Hearts to Lose was one of the first markers on the way these two were headed they began with the street-sweeper single "Left/Right": the synthesis of pop and club, the melting of Marek Hemmanns singularly fine austere tech house and Fabian Reichelts lyrics. The results couldn't be disputed and even more appreciated, yet still not quite every techno fan could quite feel this flyer from their favorite DJ in strange (quite pop) clothes. Perhaps not everyone trusts themselves to just say to themselves: bring the pathos, the feelings and the melting voice because it just has to be! At the same time in the club context, because as they both are of the opinion that there is the most thrilling place for modern songwriting. Where else can you find the fundamentally excited and music loving bunch in one place? Where else can an artist drop his 'hurray' atom-bomb on the masses and drop it on the one? Thus, 'Only Our Hearts To Lose' presents a shimmering, beautiful being in the club and the balcony, between a tender sunset and the deepest part of the nights dance. 

Im Juni 2011 brachten der Houseproduzent Marek Hemmann und der Sänger Fabian Reichelt bei Freude Am Tanzen in Jena ihr erstes gemeinsames Album auf den Markt. Only Our Hearts To Lose war ein erster dicker Markstein auf dem Weg, den beide im Jahr zuvor mit der Straßenfeger-Single „Left / Right“ begonnen hatten: die Synthese aus Pop und Club, die Verschmelzung von Marek Hemmanns markantem, fein austarierten Tech House und Fabian Reichelts lyrischer Stimme. Das Ergebnis war nicht unumstritten, noch immer goutiert nicht jeder Technofan die Ausflüge seines/ihres Herzens-DJ in fremde (noch dazu eher poppige) Gefilde. Aber vielleicht traut sich auch einfach noch nicht jeder, einmal ganz freien Herzens zu sagen: Ja, bitte, her mit dem Pathos, her mit dem großen Gefühl und dem Schmelz in der Stimme, denn das muss einmal sein! Auch und gerade im Clubkontext, denn das, so sagten beide, sei ja schließlich der spannendste Ort für modernes Songwriting, wo sonst findet man so viele grundbegeisterte und musikliebende Menschen auf einem Haufen, und wo sonst kann man als Künstler alle seine Hurra-Atome so gewaltig mit der Masse zum Gleichklang bringen. So ist Only Our Hearts To Lose ein schönes, schillerndes Wesen zwischen Club und Balkon, zwischen zartem Sonnenaufgang und tiefster Tanznacht.

Alex Niggemann - Lovers feat. John Rydell (Andre Lodemann Remix) - Poker Flat

It's the long-awaited anti-austerity blast-a-thon with the teeth, venom, and one-of-a-kind music of Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine!

Full-length #2 picks up where the Shock-u-py! EP left off! Covered in gruesome detail this time are corruption ("The Brown Lipstick Parade", "Werewolves of Wall Street," "Road Rage,") and corporate McMedia making pop stars out of small-time crooks to shield the big ones ("John Dillinger") or tabloid pop stars to lobotomize everyone else ("Hollywood Goof Disease"). The title track shines a light on our never-ending foreign-policy disasters in ways even Jello's spoken word albums never did. "Crapture" is the perfect song to play for those lovely "End Times" believers, pointing out how much better the world will be when they leave and we're "Left Behind"- with melodies on the scale Biafra hasn't really touched since "Moon Over Marin."

Above all, this rocks! No pop-punk here. Just Jello and crew taking punk fire in a wide variety of directions few ever try, with wall-of-sound, in-your-face production from Marshall Lawless and Matt Kelley (lots of Jello projects, Hieroglyphics, The Coup, Digital Underground, Zen Guerrilla, Victims Family). Lineup retains the double-barreled guitar attack of Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident) and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Griddle, Mol Triffid). They are joined this time by bassist Andrew Weiss (Rollins Band, Ween, Butthole Surfers, more) and drummer Paul Della Pelle (Helios Creed, Nik Turner's Space Ritual, and Philly HC legends Ruin).

Winston Smith's cover image is hard to forget and hard to ignore- one of his best in years!

Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School Of Medicine will be touring through most of 2013 on at least 3 continents to promote this beast. The live shows are the real deal. If you like OFF! or Dead Ending, for crying out loud don't miss this!

After 30 plus years, Jello Biafra's music and lyrics remain in a class of their own. This is his 1st concept album since "Frankenchrist." Ask anyone buying a Dead Kennedys album to check this out before they leave the store and they won't be disappointed.

Sick of the Tea Party? This is for you.

Sick of formula retro-punk too chicken to take chances? This is for you.

This is not just an Age of Austerity album. It is THE Age of Austerity album!

Following the Australian trio behind ‘Boom’, Size are bringing things back closer to home with the Swedish pairing of Sebjak and Marcus Schossow. With the two artists’ individual styles colliding on ‘Liceu’, the results are undeniable. Quickly singled out after being dropped by Steve Angello during Miami Music Week and will no doubt continue to fill dance floors over the coming months.
