"Don't you go holding back, there's no time now for the past. All we need is love, love, love, love"

THIS SONG'S FOR YOU

If you visit Cologne there is a very probable chance you will hear or meet Jens-Uwe Beyer aka POPNONAME. The past year for him have been immense - from spearheading the COLOGNE TAPE collective which includes members JÖRG BURGER (aka THE MODERNIST), ADA, PHILIPP JANZEN (of VON SPAR), CRATO and BARNT and his 2011 collaboration with DRUMS OFF CHAOS (aka JAKI LIEBEZEIT of CAN). Both projects found releases on the critically acclaimed new imprint MAGAZINE he also co-runs. That said, Beyer's enthusiastic demeanor and creative vigor has easily marked him as a key figure in Cologne's re-blossoming music community.

Internationally, Beyer is likely known best due to his long-standing contributions on KOMPAKT's POP AMBIENT series, but his forays into dance music have placed him as potentially one of the most overlooked talents of the last decade. Take his releases on ITALIC, FIRM and KOMPAKT speak volumes - RESIDENT ADVISOR went as far as to proclaim his last full length "Surrounded by Weather" as being that it "isn't the
final defining statement in emotive vocal house, but it comes damn close."

Take a listen for yourself as we are offering this exclusive live mix featuring some stellar gems from his catalogue and also a brand new, unreleased remix for the PRO-TEZ imprint.

Popnoname - Exclusive Live Mix - September 2011

The Circle City Band 'Magic' (greg wilson edit)

111 bpm

Never previously shared

Just over a year ago I was being driven back to my hotel, having played in Los Angeles for the Heading Home crew. DJ Rick Wren was behind the wheel and he had a CD on, which he'd compiled, featuring some early 80's grooves. A track came on that was instanly familiar, but I couldn't quite place it, I waited for the vocal to come in and, when it did, I instantly knew it was 'Magic', but the group name eluded me, so I asked Rick, 'who is this?', to which he replied 'The Circle City Band'. Of course, how could I have forgotten - it was like bumping into an old friend who hadn't crossed your mind for years, but now they were with you again the good times you once shared came flooding back.

I hadn't heard 'Magic' since I bought an import copy when it was out back in 1983, not long before I stopped deejaying if my memory serves me right. I don't think it was ever released in the UK, so it was pretty obscure in the wider scheme of things, a track you'd only hear on the black scene - I remember it being a big tune in Manchester for Chad Jackson, who took over my Wednesday nights at Legend when I stopped.  It would have been one of the records I had stolen in '85, and it had completely slipped under my radar ever since - for a full quarter of a century! So it was a real buzz for it to re-appear to me as if by magic (excuse the pun), and, recognising this, when we got to the hotel Rick ejected the CD and kindly gave it to me. 

After I got back to the UK I dug out the CD Rick had given me and put this edit together. Nothing fancy, just an extended intro and a mix out, with a touch more tinkering inbetween. The first time I played it out was at East Village in London the week before Christmas, on a memorable night when people braved blizzard conditions to pack the club out - 'Magic' is the 2nd track in:

It's the fact that a year has almost passed and I'm returning to East Village for that same Saturday before Christmas slot, this time on the 17th, that made me think about sharing this edit here now.
