Release Info :

"Recorded in one day, then processed over three years, here is an orgasmic maelstrom. Transmitting as much calm unease as bewildering force, Aufgehoben's third release is beautifully fleet-footed, intensely musical, tantalising ugly and almost tangibly sexual. As if a winged piledriver were coupling with a steel drum, in a furnace.

The dynamic of controlled rage and loose agility in these sounds allows distortion and crushing weight to convey structure (of sorts), suggest tension, power, struggle, and ecstacy. It's left for us, the listeners to decide when it is tender or violent, casually murderous or lovely. In the swirl, stutter and slam of twin drummers, electronics and guitar, I hear irritation, the layering of musical nacre, and formation of pearls. Surrendering to the implausible rhythm (it's pointless to tap your foot) allows for a strange relaxation to occur in the listener.

Far from creating contrived sterility, the three-year attention to detail pays off, with Aufgehoben appearing to never indulge in bloodless thrash or plodding wankery. No cliche distracts the listeners from organic engagement with the energy, sweetness and integrity of this music. Equally, they don't tip into a parody of extremity, and deserve to avoid attracting jaded evocations of darkness, evil, or aggression. Sure, at times the volume goes up to 11, but it's timed to perfection and a fine balance is undisturbed.

Like discussing past liaisons with a true love, it seems improper or gratuitous to liken "Anno Fauve" to past proponents of anything similar. Suffice to say, comparisons favor Aufgehoben's (mainly) unknown players. In truth, the identity mystery pleases me, probably more than it should. I listened to the CD and was gobsmacked. Apparently there is a different version with some changes in content, track order and packaging"

Ein wunderschönes Gedicht von Hermann Hesse
vertont von Saskia Maas

Die Welt unser Traum

Nachts im Traum die Städt' und Leute,
Ungeheuer, Luftgebäude,
Alle, weißt du, alle steigen,
Aus der Seele dunklem Raum,
Sind dein Bild und Werk, dein eigen,
Sind dein Traum.

Geh am Tag durch Stadt und Gassen,
Schau in Wolken, in Gesichter,
Und du wirst verwundert fassen:
Sie sind dein, du bist ihr Dichter!
Alles, was vor deinen Sinnen
Hundertfältig lebt und gaukelt,
Ist ja dein, ist in dir drinnen,
Traum, den deine Seele schaukelt.

Durch dich selber ewig schreitend,
Bald beschränkend dich, bald weitend,
Bist du Redender und Hörer,
Bist du Schöpfer und Zerstörer.
Zauberkräfte, längst vergessne,
Spinnen heiligen Betrug,
und die Welt, die unermessne,
Lebt von deinem Atemzug.

Saroos - Dead Days

An album by Roman Flügel is always a sensation. That holds true for his countless monikers and collaborations as it does for his 2011 Dial debut Fatty Folders. Being the first of its kind under his civic name, the long over-due association of Hamburg's cerebral label and its group of off-centre house and techno individuals with Frankfurt's favorite electronic music producer for the thinking man and woman, proved to be a seminal one.

Now, that sort of Happiness Is Happening again. Roman Flügel's follow up on Dial takes off, where Fatty Folders landed: on a runway that acknowledges the roots of house and techno as well as its fruits, but leads to a different location. Exempt from the burden that a concept album can lay on its author, Flügel seems not to be concerned with the current trends, retro fashion or a pre-conceived topic. Free-wheeling and with a freshness akin to morning dew, he rather takes us by the hand and through ten tracks that sometimes feel like songs without a voice.

Having said that, the strongest point of Happiness Is Happening is that it has a voice. The voice of a maker who is not afraid to mix joy and pain, ambient textures with remnants dance floor euphoria, quiet spaces and loud places. So you have an almost Depeche-Mode-like ballad that the ”Friendship Song” is, next to the techno city ghost story of “JD Atmo”. Slow-motion robot disco (“Wilkie”) appears as much at home here as the bulky “Stuffy” or the sudden impact in “We Have A Nice Life”. That list goes on and on. The most startling fact about Roman Flügel's tour de force is that its sum is as great as its parts. Nothing feels superfluous, ill-paced or forced here. Its a condensate of a life that has been spent in techno, house and its various mutations and archetypes with a sensibility for pop music, a consciousness of indie culture and an affinity for the avant-garde as such. 

Happiness Is Happening is like a concept album without a concept. A testament to the fact that the concept of an album that works within the realms and boundaries of “electronic (dance) music” can be so much more than a loose collection of 12-inches or just an exercise in style: it can be, after all, a piece of art and at its best comparable to a successful singer-songwriter album without words. Especially, when the creator of all his seems to be truly comfortable with himself and at his best. Then, Happiness Is Happening, indeed.

Gent 88 is a deep and constantly shuffled Oldschool Techno bumper by producer Mirko Hecktor from Munich with a striking triole bells theme and recurring female vocals. 

The track was produced as a homage to the early days of the Belgian label R&S Records, which was the blueprint label for releasing Techno and House Music on the european mainland. 

The HOMELESS HOUSE remix, produced by Berlin based Moire Patterns & Dj Kriton, takes the track back to Chicago and into a massive club atmosphere with a stomping underground attitude.
