Martin Waslewski - Wheeled Walker (Ole Biege Remix)

LOW QUALITY PREVIEW

Techno’s inimitable duo Super Flu unleash a massive remix package from last year’s critically acclaimed album Halle Saale. Featuring a wealth of like-minded creative souls, each reversion adds a whole new narrative to Felix Thielemann and Mathias Schwarz’s distinctive tales.

Formatik founders Format:B take the lead with a genuine anthem-in-the-making. Taking the chugging smoky soul of “Me Roar” and injecting it with a blistering synth sound that pays homage to the mid noughties, their riff-heavy remix surges with emphatic electric command.

Next up are two wonderfully contrasting remixes of “Jo Gurt” from DJ Koze and Stephan Bodzin. The former applies an off-beat wasp-like bassline that revs like a super-charged motorbike and hums with harmonic vocal prowess. The latter, meanwhile, strips the vibe back to a starker, star-gazing experience that gradually rebuilds in an epic way that only Bodzin can nail.

Martin Waslewski follows with a stately take on “Fibi Maybe”. Having emerged last year on Gold with the massive “Sunburn/Mooburn”, here we find the new talent eschewing the original’s slapping rhythm for a straight up stomp while retaining every dreamy, emotional and organic nuance.

Finally Andhim bring us to a sensual sonic climax. While the original drove forth with a slow and steady hypnotic kick, here we find the Cologne creatives adding a subtle breakbeat swing. Peppering us with psychedelic flourishes and oceanic textures, it conjures the same sensations Andrew Weatherall captured on his Primal Scream productions. Comparisons don’t get much higher than that really.

Five beautiful reworks from one incredible album, Super Flu’s attention to detail isn’t just found in their music, but in their label output and remixer choice, too. This really is a very special release.

„Odsbodkins!“ schallt es aus Oles Mund, als er Martins neue schmalzige Haarpracht erblickt. Die beiden hatten sich die letzten 5 Jahre eingeschlossen, um an ihrer neuen Platte zu arbeiten und das Ergebnis ist die Monaberry mit der Katalognummer 23. 23? Das kann nur ein gutes Zeichen sein!

 Odsbdodkins macht seinem Namen alle Ehre und greift ohne zu fragen die Tanzmuskeln an. Ein grooviges Gitarrenfeuerwerk wird entfacht und erleuchtet die dunklen Tanztempel. Keine Geringeren als Hanne & Lore haben sich dieses Baby zur Brust genommen, um daraus einen Track zum gepflegten Ausrasten zu zaubern. Mit von der Käsehäppchen-Partie sind Frdy und Indimushy. Diese beiden Stücke setzen sich tief im Kleinhirn fest und verlassen dieses nicht so schnell. Frdy bestreitet eher den tooligen Weg der straighten Musikliebhaber und lässt dabei keine Wünsche offen. Um die Platte aber nicht Abdriften zu lassen, fasst sich Indimushy ein Herz und schiebt gewohnt gefühlvoll die Körper zurück auf die Tanzflächen.

There is something of the poet in every good musician – a sense of rhythm, and of composition. Wherever the poetic fancy next strikes you, you can learn to express yourself more professionally with a Monaberry. With the widely-hailed Martin Waslewski release, for example, the great new Monaberry that carries you to new lyric heights in home movies. You get five times zooming power with its superb F1.8 lens and the capability to enlarge up to eight times with optional bassconverter. With Rise you get automatic floor control, synth viewing with microprism screen rangefinder, and EE (or manual) control of loudness. And Rise really lets you wax poetic with such sophisticated techniques as fade-ins, fade-outs and slow motion. No other release quite rhymes with Martin Waslewski. Capable of screening up to 400 feet of any track and of operating on six different voltages, it's the most "versatile" release on the market. Together they offer the kind of poetic license every good musician dreams about. And dreams, as any poet will attest, have a way of coming true. At any better Monaberry store.

Rewind: 1989. Germany is enjoying its own summer of love. Thick waves of acid house wash every oompah band out of every sleepy German hamlet and a hazy season of heady parties ensues. West and east united by vibe, it was the starter course for the reunification feast the followed later that year.

According to German rave legend, the south eastern town of Halle was home to the finest of raves. Many of which were hosted by Opa Herbet. Super Flu Felix's grandpappy, and Monaberry's number one mascot, Herbert - aged 50 at the time - was renowned around town as THE key player in the acid house movement.

You see he wasn't just a savvy promoter, but also a deeply spiritual gentleman. He knew his grandson would fulfil a rich dance music destiny, he knew his family would create and contribute to the life-affirming world of house music. So he set up Monaberry, a label in waiting for his future generations.

An insightful fella, especially for his age, he knew Monaberry would enjoy unique success. He knew they would develop a firm pact of like-minded creative souls. He knew they'd host endless global parties, develop an extensive repertoire of beautiful, emotive, tech-laced house and enjoy the full support from A-list DJs. He could feel all of this in his rickety old bones. He also knew they'd release this stunning collection of exclusives...

Featuring Monaberry's most consistent friends and introducing two new family members (The Glitz and Benn Finn), '25 Years Monaberry' is an ageless document that not only showcases the label's highly distinctive range and remit, but also celebrates the very roots of house music. Robust rhythms, slinky synths, stark sonic contrasts and endless holes of introspective soul... Whether you're new to the label, or like grand old Opa himself you've had a feeling about these playful German cats a quarter of a century ago, '25 Years Monaberry' sums up everything that's great about the music we adore from a label we love...

The soft sentimental strings of Benn Finn's 'Oil In The Ocean'. The hazy harmonies and funky falsettos of Super Flu's 'Oooooh'. The poignant, rainy day chord swoops and alley-lurking sub bass of Monkey Safari's 'Middlestreet'. The unfettered positivity of AndHim's piano-slapping riff marathon 'Melte'. The dark grunts and muscular shuffles of The Glitz's stuttering, wailing tech funker 'Nineteen'. The glistening, guitar-gilded sunset serenade of Martin Waslewski's 'Floading' . The vocal insistency and the hypnotic effect of classical house rudiments on Hanne & Lore's 'Lakepeople'. The elephantine swing, short sharp jazz-blasts and techno trickery of Cascandy's 'Rammeln'. The deep bass bubbles and Detroitian string staccato of Dapayk Solo's 'Flying Mona'... Each of these exclusive tracks represents Monaberry at its deepest, most delicious and timeless. And we guarantee they'll still sound ace in 25 years time.

25 years is a long time in any game. But in the music industry It's an eternity. But as long as there are wise old geezers like Opa behind the scenes, we'll surf the endless ocean of years with style.

Super Flu - Ooooooh
Monkey Safari - Middlestreet
Andhim - Melte
The Glitz - Nineteen

Undressed

Martin Waslewski - Undressed (Original Mix) /// DIDSCHN

We are excited to welcome Martin Waslewski back on Hommage, this time with partner in crime Ole Biege. Both present a lush pair of tracks that will help you make a smooth transition into autumn and the darker days.

Starting off with the EPs title track “Fiddler”, a laid back & chilled tune. Built around a sleek groove and authentic analog drum programming, the tracks main focus lies on the echoed male vocals. The sounds and instruments both chose, make Fiddler a standout and track that will become an ear worm instantly. 

Moving onward with “Fleecy Shout”, which has a similar, slightly weirder vibe to it and features a very funk driven groove. It’s all about piano chords bouncing around and trippy male vocals providing the fun. The subby bassline provides the coolness underneath. 

Monkey Safari are closing off the record with their interpretation of Fiddler. They change up the groove and place witty sample layers here and there. To spice things up both also add a touch of acid.

Herbert: Monaberry's totem old timer, Super Flu's dear old Opa, house music's favourite septuagenarian and all round legend returns…

It's been a while since he last curated a Monaberry collection (his hearing aid kaput throughout 2015)The last time being summer 2014 with Monaberry's now-vintage '25 Years Monaberry' collection. But now he's dusted off his curating cap, gently leant his walking stick against the wall, shouted "what?" a lot of times, moaned about his clicky knees, yearned for the good old days and, finally, put together one of the Halle-based label's most beautiful collections to date.

Fresh out of the care home, Herb's first pick – Super Flu & Viktor Talking Machine's 'Plastik' – leads with the gusto of a man a third of his age: a twinkling arpeggio gazes up to clear night skies building in momentum with the beats and a pulsating bassline. Laced with a dramatic breakdown, you'd be advised to stash this one for the next festival marathon.

The melodic tech textures continue as Herb welcomes Boston's Robot Love to the Monaberry fold with the touching slice of anthemia that is 'Numbers Station'. A clipped hook gently persists with chiselled insistency. Timeless and driving, Herb tells us he picked it because it's great to walk around the supermarket really really slowly to. We love it because it will take your dancefloor to a whole new level.

Last spotted on '25 Years Monaberry', fellow Halle hero Martin Waslewski returns with a wistful piano-primed stroller that sees Herb striding gently but confidently towards a destination unknown (probably the chemist to get his meds). No walking stick required.

Monaberry mainstays Hanne & Lore take old Herb (or Herbie to those in the know) out to the choppy tech seas late at night, sharpen up their finest synth hook and reel in a big one. Like all fresh produce, 'Tuna In' is crisp to the taste and will satiate the hungriest of dancefloors.

Having previously remixed Super Flu, Dortmunder Philhamoniker and Philipp Armbruster's 'Volkwein', Bebetta returns to Monaberry with her label debut; an ageless groove powered by soft chord changes, mild jazz textures and faraway crackles, it's Herbert's favourite for fireside chats.

Finally, Parra For Cuva brings us to a touching finale. Just in time for Herb's afternoon nap, 'Borneo' is awash with dreamy lilts, lingering instrumentation and positive chords. All brought together by shimmering guitar strums and cosmic ripples, listen closely and you can hear Herb smokebelching in sync with the splashing cymbals.

Respect your elders, respect the grooves, respect one another: 2016 is about to commence and Herbie's picked the winning soundtrack to break it in.

The ever excellent MOTHER RECORDINGS serves up more club gold, this time from MARTIN WASLEWSKI. His CLOSER release features two tight tacks that prove he has a lush sense of house groove.
Waslewski is a German who grew up on hip hop and now having turned to house finds himself at home under the roof of labels such as Hommage, Monaberry and Heulsuse. All these playgrounds offer him a deserved platform where he never fails to come up with the goods, as is the case again here.

Up first here is CLOSER, six minutes of deep, feel good house music with romantic vocals and colourful chords. The beats are lazy and well swung and this one is perfect for summer parties and terraces this year. On the flip, COME TO ME is stripped back and more driving, with a tech edge to the beats. There is more great melody though, and some smeared synths that add a sense of scale and weight.

First Suara release for this warm August is hot as hell. Martin Waslewski, known for his releases in labels like Mother Recordings, Exploited or Monaberry, shows his skills in two big tracks ready to rock all summer parties: 'Clouds' is such an instant classic, real house music with an amazing vocal, you will not take it out from your head. With these elements, our beloved Purple Disco Machine returns to the kitty family and delivers a super solid remix, one of the tunes of the season in the Suara headquarters. Last but not least 'Ace It' works pretty well too, an excellent and acid Dj tool for that moment when you need some extra energy in your sets. Artwork by GaAs Mastering by www.pobla.es

Frozen, isolated from the outer world. The only source of food from the old world was an old rusty transporter owned by a vietnamese guy from a restaurant called "The Golden Turtle", parked in a frosty backyard.
From time to time some Silverheight Gray Seals came by on which Ole and Martin could warm themselves up a little bit. But the times were hard.
In a special moment after inhaling some expanding foam came the idea to just follow the Gray Seals through the door which was open the whole goddamn time.
3 years were gone, the freedom so near, but their brains were frozen.
But all in all this had one good thing...
In the shimmering light of their playstation 1, while playing some tekken, sitting at their tiletable, between tubing tobacco and coffee whitener, they had this awesome idea for an homage for that long time and that special street they were living on for 
so long, the Reilstreet!
