Fuga Ronto's second release Greatest Treasure is a musical journey exploring different kinds of territories by blending elements of synth funk, dub, fusion, new wave and ambient with household noises, reverb vocals and quotes from movies to adventure games. Out of playful recording sessions the Zurich duo Schweizer and Shiller created songs with track names that read like movie titles. The treasure quest begins with a tongue-in-cheek intro before the title track kicks in. It’s all about exotic boogie with adventurous lyrics and voodoo magic. The rhythm guitar, percussion and multilingual chanting driven single „Falling Star“, lures even unathletic feet onto the dancefloor. "Columbo De Domingo“, a rolling instrumental based on a four chord sequence creates an illusional staircase moment. The tracks on the B-side guide towards slower and dreamier attempts. "Mirror To Water" builds on swaying synth pads that lead up to a laid-back song with breathy male and female vocals over a shuffling drum beat. It’s epilogue "Wobble In The Pool" sticks to the mood and takes the sounds further into dubby lands. The closing chapter "Mystery Of Zambio" is a delightful two- parter. Nostalgic melodies take the lead at first to be replaced by chords and a choir in the second part, until they dance away into the fade-out. Maybe a hint for a continuation of the story? One would hope so.

Señor Paraiso EP

Beard in Dust - "Kirkorovmoroder" (Crudo Ricordi CR001)

Available on 12"

Jean-Paul Pognon - Limie (Mendel Edit)

Here's an extended edit of a brilliant track that was way too short

Betina - Two Pair Of Eyes (Plastic Bamboo Extension)

Melodic deep house with an Afro vocal.  Driving 118 BPM groove meets a soulful African vocal and massive, uplifting synths. Pure electronic euphoria.

Africa Calling (Radio Mix)

"Skin to Skin". It’s low light intimacy: two bodies close with no rush and no performance. Not aggressive lust, but trust. Shared heat, skin against skin, a private space where you let go without words.

Velvet After Midnight

Winner of a song contest run by a German underwear and bathing suit company in 1984. The prize was the production of a song with professional musicians - namely this very song. Judging by her rapping skills, the competition must have been a little on the weak side of things... 😆 It needed some seriously cheesy Schlager bits removed and more of the electronic good stuff. Enjoy!

Tanz Ohne Planeten (Tom Bolas Edit)

Fresh tunes from JAZ for American Standard!

"Critical & hedonistic acclaim have already been lavished on this Charleston based sonic excavator of considerable note. The music is most definitely left to do the talking as this one man 'Folly Beach Psychemagik' fills the record boxes of the world's most discerning diggers with treasure beyond measure.

So, for this latest three piece on American Standard we're firmly in the FM synthesis musical district of early 80's planet earth--70's session players still strung out from the previous decades' debauchery tried their hand at piloting these electric powered units to wildly varying degrees of success. Luckily for you, Jaz has been kind enough to find and reload three of the finest, more esoteric, obscure but eminently playable moments from this fertile era for some primo 'Back to the Future' frugging." - Pacific Beach Vinyl
