In the beginning there was the funk. A magical power source of unknown origin. Myth upholds that Michal Ho once showered his limbs in this fountain of creativity, and thus earned him his fantastic powers. A more traditional accounting would perhaps uphold that Michal Ho was initiated to electronic club music by the likes of Photek and Moritz von Oswald. His bass-bouncy and sampladelic techno style certainly has earned him a community of fans across the globe. And his quirky collaborations with Samim have positioned him comfortably in the hall of fame of Swiss electronic music heroes. He is, as Resident Advisor once tagged him, "not your average minimal techno guy".
Returning from his 2011 album "A Minute for Everyone" for Jay Haze's Tuning Spork label, Mr. Ho has produced a downright slammer for Zurich imprint Nice Try Records. The somewhat ironically titled "Don't Rush" is a bass-driven hypnotic monster, topped by jumbling vocals. Contexterrior boss and long-time musical friend Jay Haze delivers a remix that offers a likewise punchy version of this minimal funk gem. On the flip side, Michal grows into the sampler kid he was and always will be. On and on. Yeah, we're mesmerized.

BOLDA & MIčKAL - At The Grocery (MRZ Remix)

Raoul010 - Description: 

This is the first time Raoul Records make an EP with one single original track and multiple  interpretations of it. When we listened to Dollar Mambo's track Am I Soul for the very first time, it  instantly blew our mind as how much special, emotional and inspirational it sounded. An amazing piece  of music: a rough diamond.

We decided, in collaboration with Dollar Mambo himself, to give this track the attention it deserved,  giving this rough diamond several shapes and make a whole EP out of it.

The K-City Edit is Dollar Mambo's own reinterpretation: it is just as great and emotional as the original  mix but transposed into a tighter frame, giving the track the structure of a club track without loosing any  of its particular sound freedom. It's then rich of both grooves and melodies.

As a first remixer we have invited Gaspard de la Montagne, who just released his first EP on Creaked Records and whose track Pole has been acclaimed by many dj's and specialized medias around the  world. Being fan of his former tracks we thought that Gaspard's work with subtile sound textures and  dark basslines would give a intersting frame to Dollar Mambo's euphoria.
The result is that the rough diamond turned black, but it is still shining.

The third versions of the title track is coming from Gregorythme. His remix stays very close to the original material, focusing on its trippy side and adding Gregorythme's typical kind of evolutional synth patterns, as well as a more present beat to drive it.
The result clearly witnesses how much Gregorythme loved the original and worked on its remix, as manipulating a very precious material.

NONE OF THEM make music for the twenty-second century. The duo is constantly deconstructing its stylistic boundaries and follows traditions only to destroy them. On stage, Signup (Anymouse, Big Zis, Grenzgänger) is the master of ceremony, Michal Ho (Tuning Spork, NiceTry, etc.) is the selector. Vocals glide over beats generated in little boxes full of flashing lights, sometimes smooth, sometimes razor-sharp. The debut album 'One Of Them' will be released this summer on NiceTry Records.
