Hidden Jazz Quartett - Wälzer (Renegades Of Jazz Remix)

ARTIST HOMEPAGE

Hidden Jazz Quartett - "Lovelight" feat Bajka Jon Kennedy Remix (2014)

Out - 30th of June 2011

The amazing Bas Lexter Ensample is coming back to hit you with his new EP ‘My Baby Wants To Move’ - six beautifully crafted tunes. This record is dedicated to all the soulful dancefloors around the world - from L.A. to Buenos Aires to Tokyo. After his cinematic and sixties beat influenced albums ‘And The Beat Goes On’ and his debut album ‘Truncate It Right’, Bas Lexter is ready for the next step and wants to make us move.
The Hanover/Germany based musician and producer comes up with a winning variety of styles again. Infusing the music with his 'real' music lover vibe. This EP starts up with the killer Latin Jazz track 'Celias Baile', which will put you in the mood for another drink from the beachfront bar. The Mexican horns in the chorus will make you party hard. You'll be ordering another Tequila in next to no time! That's then followed by the powerful and souldriven 'Dry July', which will get all ladies shaking their ‘thing’ to the Bas Lexter groove.
If you had to describe his musical style, then it would be ‘Soul, Downbeat, Reggae, Easy Listening and always a touch of Jazz’. Bas Lexter is a ‘shy cat’, he was discovered by Nokia France and had tracks released on different 12” records (Resense/Yo Mama/Universal). Beyond that, this multitalented artist has produced tracks for Ganesha & Ragga D, as well as Asher D./Music of Life.
The 'Casino’ track could soundtrack a ‘gangster-poker-night’, breaking down with an Indian flavour, a true pearl of a track. ‘Akeni’, a short interlude with a slow Drum n Bass feeling, is surrounded by some cheeky ethno sounds. Then comes the Bas Lexter Reggae side, in the form of ‘In die Knie’, which should remind you of the good old ‘Studio 1’ times. It's a deep and dubbed-out one for the lovers. Final cut on the EP is a remix from Aaron Bingle, a.k.a. Deja-Move, his downbeat project. Bingle reshaped the Easy Listening track 'Nipponside Winder' into a dancefloor version, a simple, cool and swinging beat. Please get your next round of ‘Gin Fizz on ice’ in your favourite bar.

The Bas Lexter Ensample - My Baby Wants To Move - EP - Snippet

New Deja-Move Album out - 1st of June 2011...

One track for pre-release listening :)...

Tracklisting:

01 Deja-Move - Bring It Back Feat. MsJames 02 Deja-Move - The Fever 03 Alan de Laniere - Hey Listen (Deja-Move RMX) 04 Deja-Tunes Interlude 05 Marko Bokun - The Dremthief (Deja-Move’s Train Dub Mix) 06 Channel Two - S’posed To Be - featuring Joy Jones (Deja-Move’s Handsome RMX) 07 Deja-Move - Deja Love Dub 08 The Vision - Justify (Deja-Move RMX) 09 N’FA - Get Doh (Deja-Move RMX) 10 Channel Two - Deux Vega (Deja-Move Downbeat Rework) 11 TGFA - Stuck Like Glue (Deja-Move Remix) 12 Deja-Move - Shade of Pearls feat. Neele Ternes 13 Deja-Move - Rotten with Helen Naomie Schmidt


Deja-Move is coming up with a new and tremendous longplayer – ‘In The Meantime I Have Cooked Some Vegetables’.

One of the most untrue facts about Deja-Move is that many critics declaimed his music to be made of well known samples. The truth is that Aaron Bingle (known from Hotel Costes and Brazilectro) - who runs the project since 2001 - has been playing and recording the music in his Octupuss studio. All in all you can say that Deja-Move is handmade music, and maybe that is why the project got such a good recommendation in the Downbeat and Lounge music scenes. Deja-Move's music got released on more than 80 compilations worldwide on labels such like Sony/ BMG, Universal and Embassy of Music.
His 5th album combines elements of Soul, Reggae & Dub, Balkan, Downbeat, Hip Hop and Chill Out music. Deja-Move starts to step away from the world of strictly Lounge music into playing around with more different styles again, always keeping the Deja vibe in the focus.
The album is starting up with the Brazil and Soul influenced track 'Bring it Back' feat. Jazz singer MsJames from L.A.. Followed up by 'The Fever', a piece of classical Soul music combined with modern synthesizer sounds, that has got a heavy hips-winging note to it. You can find remix works like ‘Hey You’ from Frenchman Alan De Laniere. This track is an excursions into the Balkan music style that has hit Bingle while his work as a DJ. On the Downbeat side you will find the lovely & bittersweet remix of ‘S'posed To Be’ by Channel Two with ‘Joy Jones’. For the pure sweetness, Reggae and Dub lovers might feel the ‘Deja Love Dub’ and a rework of 'Justify' from Hanover's Roots Reggae Band The Vision. The remix of Nfa`s ‘Get Doh’ is a surprising step into Australians Hip Hop culture. ‘In The Meantime I have Cooked Some Vegetables’ finishes up with two smoothed out tracks. ‘Shade of Pearls’, a lovley ballad with a Hip Hop Beat underneath, sung by Hamburg’s Neele Ternes. And finally ‘Rotten’ that is featuring guest-artist Helen Naomie Schmidt.

The Bas Lexter Ensample - 2nd Album - And The Beat Goes On - Selection Of Tracks...

Bas himself has the Jazz, loves the Big Band feeling, is sometimes funky, sometimes Caribbean, most times black and sometimes white, but always aware of keeping his ʻold schoolʼ flavour. After his successful debutalbum ʻTruncate it Rightʼ, that amazed Djs, Collegues and critics from Germany, Spain up to Japan, now the 2nd album follows: ʻAnd the Beat goes on”. This album is especially dedicated to the cinematic themes and those of the 50ies, even though it stays in the typical rare and floor compatible Lexter-shape. Starting with ʻThe Revivalʼ the records is making you
snip to it. Youʼll hardly be able to stop smiling when itʼs later followed by the Japanese vocal adaption ʻNipponside Winderʼ. ʻJazzy, warm and groovyʼ, thatʼs the way ʻBelezaʼ and ʻDo Rightʼ are completing the picture. In the last 3rd of the record you will flow into calm fileds with tracks ʻLightʼ or ʻGlass Manouvreʼ - a beautiful orchestral-weighed tune. Of course, the album finishes with ʻGoodbyeʼ that will remind you a little of ʻMobyʼ. It is not easy to name or to categorize a sound. “The Bas Lexter Ensample” has a unique style for sure, an unbelievable setup of samples and vinylistic atmospheres, being touched by and mixed up with a lot of different kinds of styles and genres. Bas Lexter was dis-covered by Nokia France and his tunes were released on different 12” vinyls (Resense/Yo Mama/Universal). Beyond that, he produced for Ganesha & Ragga D, and for Asher D. /Music of Life.

This is a preview snippet demo: 


“Hamburgs renowned producer Tobitob (5 Sterne deluxe/ Moonbootica/ Ferris MC) presents a brand new selection of remixes and unreleased tracks”

After his highly recommended Downbeat doublealbum „Tales from the City / Country“ in 2010, Tobitob comes back with a pocket full of new remixes in 2012.
Cram, Renegades Of Jazz, Marc ‘Dirty’ Deal, Chris Krawall, iGadget, Deja-Move, Apollo Lovemachine, Sebus and Tobitob himself reinterpreted and refreshed the music of the studio mastermind in their very own and unique style.

Deja-Move and Cram are starting up with their remixes, sounding like driving along a palmbeach on a hot summerday. Followed up by Tobitobs very own remix – a deep and excellent remake of the track „Horseback“. The entirely unreleased title „Mangare (2012 Re-Edit)“ reminds us a bit of a mixture between the „Nightridertheme“, Balkan and Electrobeats. A remarkable and strong technoid remix of „Ryhthm Rødsnek (w/ Fünf Sterne Deluxe)” was  delivered by Marc ‚Dirty’ Deal. Be surprised by the work and sound of Apollo Lovemachine, who follows his very own paths, remixing „First Sunrise (w/ DJ Coolmann (Visit Venus))“ in an avantgarde kind of way. Further journeys into Jazz or Deep House as well as Chris Krawall’s Electro orientated music are showing up the wide range of influences that are united on this remix album, ending up in a Dubstep remix by iGadget, who is showing us what the word ‚soundcollage’ can mean.

All in all this album grew into a strong, outstanding, modern and ambitioned electronic record, a must for all fans of Tobitob’s music or for those who want to get addicted to it.

The Bas Lexter Ensample - The Revival

Listen to one of the new tracks by The Bas Lexter Ensample - New album - Tres Greatful Amigos out now on www.Deja-Tunes.com. 

Die nächste Platte bitte! The Bas Lexter Ensample ist zurück. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist das 3te Album des in Hannover ansässigen Multi-instrumentalisten, DJs und Produ-zenten Ricci Puncha, welcher der Mann hinter diesem Projekt ist. Was sonst könnten wir sagen? Diese Platte bereitet einem einfach gute Laune. Wieder Mal bietet Bas Lexter uns seine großartige Spieltart zwischen 50iger bis hin zu 70iger Themen an, die in gewohnter Manier mit modernen, swingenden Beats, jazzigen Meldodien und Einflüssen, sowie mit vielen knisternden Soul Samples garniert sind.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ eröffnet das Album mit einem atmosphärischen Feeling, das einen an den Eröffnungstitel eines alten Alfred Hitchcock Streifens denken lässt, der auf einen 90iger DJ mit echten ‘Scratchskills’ trifft. Bas öffnet uns von der ersten Minute an die Türen in sein musikalisches Universum. Der zweite Titel ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ ist eine ‘dicke’ ‘Rare Groove’ Nummer mit wunderbaren Bläser- und Strecherlinien unterlegt und einem Oldschool MC, der seine Rhymes über eine Menge positiver Energie fließen lässt. Man würde am liebesten nach Jamaika fliegen nachdem man die ‘heiße Sommernacht’ Reggae Nummer ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ gehört hat. Der Track ist schlicht und ergreifend eine Perle von einem Underground Reggae Titel. Ebenso wie ‘Blessings’, welches eine Remix Adaption von Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ ist, hier in einer ‘rootsigen’, energetischen und leichtfüssigen Retro-interpretation. Was mehr braucht man mehr um ein Bas Lexter Album zu machen? Jazzy Swings? Diese werden mit ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ und dem percussionlastigen Titel Voo-doo King serviert. Auf der Uptempo Seite haben wir authentische Breakbeats mit dem B-Boy Track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas wäre nicht Bas, würde er uns nicht für einen Moment in die Gefilde der ‘Latin’ Musik entführen. Mit ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ und der Easy Listening Nummer ‘Bá!’ kommt er unseren Freunden auf der Süd-Amerikanischen Seite des Globus entgegen. Er spielt seine melancholischen Gitarren- und Pianolinien über wunderbar rhythmische und treibende Latinobeats. Auf der Soulseite haben wir tiefe und langsame Soultracks wie ‘Wassup’ und ‘The 4th Take’, die einen an die guten alten ‘Marvin Gaye’ Zeiten erinnern. Mit ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ und ‘Follow You’ beendet Bas sein Album in einer traditionellen Manier mit etwas Downbeat ‘Freshness’. Titel die sich von der ersten Minute anhören, als ob man sie schon immer kennen würde und als ob sie schon immer da gewesen wären.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist wie ein Statement bezüglich der nun insgesamt drei erschienen Bas Lexter Alben. Sie sind allesamt ‘Amigos’, es gibt` drei oder ‘Tres’ von ihnen und wir sind dankbar – ‘Greatful’ bei Deja-Tunes, dass wir mit dieser tollen Musik arbeiten dürfen.

                                                                                                                                                  

Next record please! The Bas Lexter Ensample is back. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is the 3rd album of the Hanover based multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Ricci Puncha, who is the guy behind the project. What can we say? This record will make you having an uplifting time. Again Bas Lexter provides the finest mixture between 50ies to 70ies music styles, combined with his modern swinging beats, jazzy influenced melodies and many sizzling, soulful samples.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ introduces the record with an atmospherically feeling, reminding in the opener of an old Alfred Hitchcock movie, meeting up with skillful early-90ies Dj cuts. Bas opens up the doors into his universe of music from the first minute on. The second title ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ is a heavy ‘Rare Groove’ track with amazing string- and hornworks and an Oldschool MC who is flowing with his rhymes over a lot of positiv energy. The ‘hot-summer-night’ Reggae tune ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ simply is a pearl of an underground Reggae music title that makes you want to buy a ticket and fly to Jamaica and get deeper into their Reggae music culture. Just like ‘Blessings’ which is a remix adaptation from Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ – in a rootsy, easy sounding and energizing retro-interpretation. What more does it take to make a Bas Lexter album? Jazzy swings? They are being served with ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ and the percussion weighted track Voo-doo King. On the uptempo side we have some authentic Breakbeats coming with the B-Boy track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas would not be Bas if he would not lead us into the fields of Latin music for a moment. With ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ and the Easy Listening tittle ‘Bá!’ he is satisfying our friends on the South-American side of the globe. Sweet, melancholic guitars and piano melodies are running over his swinging and powerful latino rhythms. On the ‘souldside’ we have the deep and slow soultracks ‘Wassup’ and ‘The 4th Take’, reminding a bit in the good old ‘Marvin Gaye’ times. With ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ and ‘Follow You’, Bas is finishing the album in a traditional manner with some downbeat freshness, sounding like these perfect tracks you would know since ever and which have always been there.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is like a statement regarding the 3 albums Bas has done so far. They are all ‘Amigos’, it`s three or ‘Tres’ of them and we are ‘Greatful’ at Deja-Tunes to being able to work with this great music.
