TITLE: 35
LABEL: Crossfrontier Audio
CAT #: cfacd002
RELEASE DATE: 04.05.2015

‘Marc Poppcke’ is a name synonymous with melodic, uplifting productions; a true DJ’s DJ with a deep love of four-to-the-floor electronic music, charming dance floors with his well-versed and impeccable track selections.
2015 marks not one, but several milestones for the Berlin resident; celebrating a solid 15 years behind the decks, 10 years since making the move to the clubbing capital of the world to pursue his passion, and turning the bright, young age of 35. With these in mind, Marc reflects on what has been an incredible career with the release of his first artist album, simply titled ‘35’.
With a string of successful releases under his belt, both on his own label ‘Crossfrontier Audio’, as well as Sudbeat, Last Night On Earth, Freerange, and Get Physical to name a few, the message behind ‘35’ is simple: an album showcasing the different moods and moments of a club night; where warm up tracks tease and build toward pumping peak time floor fillers, holding for a while before gently easing into after hour delights.
For Marc, this album is more than just a selection of club tracks, but a true labour of passion and love; a deeply personal project that pays tribute to all the events that have lead him to this very moment.

Kicking this release off is one of India’s main DJ’s and producers; Praveen Achary. Flowers and Sea Creatures teamed up with David Granha earlier this year to bring you ‘Better Tomorrow’, a single that caused quite a stir in the underground electronic music scene and is currently the top selling Strange Town release, topping the labels’ Beatport chart.

The original release came with Jaap Ligthart and Tone Depth remixes and if that wasn’t enough the label is excited to show you the official remix single that includes reinterpretations by Praveen Achary, Futur-E and Dustin Nantais.

Praveen Achary, the Juicebox label owner takes the deep and chilled out approach with his lovely remix. It’s one of those tunes one can dance to when at a sun drenched beach party but will also bring you in a dream like state when listening to it in the comfort of your own home. Truly a quality moody piece of work here.

Greek producer Futur-E turns things up a notch with his more melodic / emo approach. Known for his releases on Tulipa, Cinematique and MNL to name a few, Futur-E is always a sure thing when it comes to delivering the goods. His remix is dance floor friendly and pumping but doesn’t loose sight of the vibe of the original. This marks his return on the label and makes us all look forward to his upcoming EP on Strange Town later this year.

Another artist that is returning on the label is fellow Canadian citizen Dustin Nantais on remix duties. Dustin has turned heads in recent years with his steady output on labels such as Manual Music, Kittball, BluFin and Wide Angle amongst others. His version is build around a highly infectious drive and when the arps are introduced you just know you’ve got yourself another winner here.

Three different interpretations make this a release that will appeal to many. There’s really something for everyone to love on here. What’s your pick of the bunch?

PREMIERE: Flowers And Sea Creatures, David Granha - Better Tomorrow (Praveen Achary Remix)

Released 30th June 2017 on Hippie Dance.
@djtennisdjtennis

Following last year’s much-acclaimed solo album “Mondo Alterado” (Hippie Dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor REBOLLEDO returns to the limelight with the jam-packed MONDO RE-ALTERADO (Hippie Dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. Artists such as SUPERPITCHER, DJ TENNIS, MACEO PLEX, RED AXES, FANGO or FANTASTIC TWINS deliver stunning takes on Rebolledos’ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations. 
From the super-energetic club rumblings of MACEO PLEX’s DISCÓTICO PLÉXICO to DJ TENNIS’ dreamy PIMIENTO DRIVE VERSION of A NUMB GAS TO THE FUTURE or FANTASTIC TWINS’ party bomb FANTASTIC POW POW, the journey through MONDO RE-ALTERADO is full of twists and turns – a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as SUPERPICHER’s RAINBOY SUPER SPACE sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that FANGO sculpted from stand-out cut “Pow Pow”. Meanwhile, RED AXES turn the casual narrative of “Life Is Strange, Life Is Hard, Life Is Great” into a bouncing workout – a great companion piece to WANT, DANNY DAZE and SHOKH’s propulsive, jagged dub version of “Fears Come True”. Other highlights include Jörg Burger aka THE BLACK FRAME with the lush BLACK RAINBOW WOMAN, PAULOR’s country rock extravaganza DISCÓTICO DESÉRTICO and not one, but two excellent contributions from former Italians Do It Better honcho MIKE SIMONETTI. It’s a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts – while staying tuned to REBOLLEDO’s spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

Monaberry’s label boss, good old Herb, is back in business. The House multi-talent curates the latest Mona compilation – Herberts Best #8.  Famous Monaberry artists and new faces from all over the world follow his call and deliver exquisite productions to grandpa Herbert.

Tim Engelhardt’s contribution “Skin” is a deep hitting symphony of a cineastic atmosphere, rolling drums, crystal clear luminescent synths and captivating arpeggios. Mi.li.an’s vocals enchantingly highlight the track’s vibrant beat and the analog drive finally flows into bubbly extasy.

Just right after the release of his latest track on Monaberry Sobek pleases grandpa Herbert with “Camerlengo” – a gently evolving and hypnotically dragging track with some smacking groove that wraps around the floating framework and tickles your senses all at once.

Armonica, the charismatic duo from the dephts of Italy, put a mad peaktime track on the table. “Time” is just bursting with slightly dark synths and FXs. The energizing bass line and the vocals reduced to the essentials are literally pushing this track onto the global stage.

Another track is delivered by Sonic Future from Porto Alegre, Brazil. His artwork “Pontilismo” is full of vigorous rhythm, crisp synth variations and minimal 80ies flair that will knock your socks off. Especially the filter modulated chords carry you away to Alpha Centauri and fuse together with the beat into an embracing sound.

Luis Junior brings “Go Gech” into play, a rotating Detroit UFO made of technoid ruthlessness and deep groove. He successfully blends dramatic synth chords, vocal snippets, and striking FXs into a continuous storyboard with a break that will make your endorphins dance and pleases with a lovingly staged happy end.

Italian stallion Ivan Masa uses Afro House elements and sprinkles some melodic parts and softly playful groove to build the sound frame of “Nativity”. Dense spaces and percussions merge into an ethno inspired work of art that will flow straight into your body and soul.

Ikarius & Dhakka join with “Salvation”, a hypnotic production that catapults the audience into a next dimension with opulent synth chords and effects, crunchy claps and subtle toms. The track composition is indeed psychedelic and a powerful tool.
Ultimately, a compilation like this can only be brought into being by good old Herb himself. We bow to his wisdom and cannot wait for these seven gorgeous pieces.

Somersault — M808 (Original Mix) [Suprematic]

It's been almost precisely a year since Jonathan Kaspar debuted on André Hommen's These Eyes imprint with his well-respected "Panem EP". Now he's back with yet another outstanding two-track release.

A-side "Villose", already on high rotation throughout the summer, comes with a heavy synth-line and paired up extra-ordinary sounds and breaks. Whilst the slightly more restrained B-side, "Pavid" pairs perfectly with the earlier or later hours through the night.

In the midst of a crazy summer touring schedule including all kinds of festival dates and on the cusp of a Kompakt debut forthcoming shortly, Jonathan Kaspar has clearly made massive strides since the last EP. We are more than thrilled to welcome him back to These Eyes for his second EP.

1 How Much Are They? - 5.28
2 How Much Are They? (Chicken Lips remix) - 7.47
3 How Much Are They? (Daniel Bortz remix) - 6.10

Munich's Benjamin Fröhlich, co-founder of the Permanent Vacation label, takes his turn on one of the most influential tracks in electronic music: "How Much Are They?"

Originally released in 1981 on the album “Full Circle”, "How Much Are They?" is a genre defying collaboration between Dub wizard Jah Wobble and Can's Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. With the combination of Dub elements, punk bassline and drum machine percussion the track is a blueprint for electronic music and ahead of its time in many ways. No surprise, it quickly became a staple in clubs from New York to Berlin.

Through the years the track was a big inspiration for Benjamin. His careful cover version updates "How much are They" for today's dancefloors, while maintaining the original atmosphere. Originally his version was part of LAGASTA's 10-year anniversary compilation. Now it gets the official release and finds the perfect home in Glasgow's Optimo Music imprint backed up with two remixes by Chicken Lips and Daniel Bortz. 

Andrew Meecham and  Dean Meredith revive their Chicken Lips moniker, that was responsible for a whole movement of Disco-Dub in the early to mid 2000's, and prove that they haven't lost any of the magic. German wonder boy Daniel Bortz reinvents himself and comes up with a heavy bass-driven version that sits somewhere between Jungle, Dub and early Techno. Ok, let's go!

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on February 19th

"italiano de alma africana" DJ Mag Brasil 24.03.2021

"One of THE main protagonists since day one, there is nobody else around, laying foundations on this level and pushing boundaries like MoBlack Records and its founder Mimmo Falcone (alias MoBlack). The Italian who lived in Ghana for ten years keeps surprising the RISE team as much as the scene with those cutting edge releases and a repertoire that shouts "classic" every second minute." RISE - Berin.

"MoBlack Records, the most prominent purveyors of afro house in recent years"  Beatport 11.09.2020

"MoBlack has an impressive reputation for afro house music that comes out on his own self-titled label. The Italian lived in Ghana for ten years and made his debut release in 2013 so comes with a real sense of authenticity". Get Physical Music 

"Every single release comes out of a special edition on the global electronic scene, and Mixmag Adria is honored to present one of the most impressive labels on the market - MoBlack Records" Mixmag Adria

"for me MoBlack Records is a new strong label that is representing the underground. And I like a lot of their music that they are releasing". David Morales

"one of the key players responsible for the evolution and advancement of the 'new' Afro House sound. MoBlack records, and its founder Mimmo Falcone aka MoBlack, of which both continue to fly the flag simultaneously as an inspirational music imprint, and as an equally strong producer and much respected DJ.
Falcone, the Italian Naples-based artist, spent ten years living in Ghana and made his debut release in 2013 warranting a stamp of authenticity for his craft. He's successfully carved a path for both himself and the record label, offering a consistent feed of high-quality and eclectic sounds that has put him at the forefront of Afro House. 
Often cited as a DJ's DJ and the label held in high regard by the truest of music heads and purists the world over, MoBlack represents the underground and is a beacon for originality and an outlet for imagination. The label has been home to some of the most revered producers. It has successfully channelled the energy of the newer, fresher artists coming through as well, adding extra fuel to an already flourishing imprint."  Traxsource 2020
