Tom Burclay dropping some tunes...
31.01.2015 @ LOLA Bar (Munich)

Tom Burclay's SMOKIN' GROOVES @ LOLA Bar (live Recording Part#1 / Jan'15)

De:Bug review:
  "Completely effortlessly, Ekkohaus becomes deeper and deeper with every release. The title track comes with a so unconventional Jazz trumpet that one really sink in. Everything in this is Jazz, up to the last fiber, however, nothing changes the fact that it is House until the last millimetre of the grooves. Four brilliantly nice House gems for a dance floor that would completely plunge into this sound, and besides that, still never lose the ground. Because the warmth of the tracks always brings in so much substance that one could fall asleep on it and, nevertheless, still dance."

  Keep-It-Deep review:
  "Kostas Tassopuolos ist, der Name legt es Nahe, ein griechischer Musikproduzent, dessen Veröffentlichungen ich schon seit längerem eingehend beobachte. Nachdem er - wie könnte es auch anders sein - von Griechenland aus- und in die bundesdeutsche Hauptstadt Berlin gezogen ist, ging's bei ihm erst so richtig los mit der Produzententätigkeit. Unter dem Pseudonym Ekkohaus veröffentlicht(e) er bereits auf Kickboxer und Cargo Edition, doch - jedenfals nach meinem Dafürhalten - lenkte er die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich und sein musikalisches Potential so richtig erst mit "The Healer" (erschienen zu Beginn diesen Jahres auf Morris Audio, http://www.discogs.com/Ekkohaus-The-Healer/release/1762512).
  Nun hat er nachgelegt, und zwar auf dem in London beheimateten Label brut! Records (http://www.myspace.com/brutrecords), das unter anderem auch Efdemin, Marcel Dettmann oder den von mir sehr geschätzten Agnès als Produzenten/Remixer in seinen Reihen weiss.
  "Not Trying To" heisst die EP und gleichzeitig auch der erste Track auf der A-Seite. Jedesmal, wenn ich ihn höre, fühle ich mich unweigerlich in eine (us-amerikanische) (Gross-)Stadt versetzt. Ein einsamer Strassenmusikant, steht leicht gebeugt an einer grossen Strassenkreuzung. Um ihn herum herrscht geschäftiges Treiben, doch er scheint davon unberührt. Sein eingängiger Jazz setzt einen Kontrapunkt zu diesem pulsierenden Leben. "First Time" ist dagegen um ein vielfaches reduzierter. Aufschwingende Synthesizer-Akkorde werden für den rhythmischen Hintergrund eingesetzt, und eine weibliche Stimme flüstert die hallversehenen Worte "Ich will es nicht verstehen". Irgendwie verspult. Auf "One Too Many" arbeitet Ekkohaus stark mit den Elementen eines Jazz-Drumsets und flösst dem "Midnight Shuffle" mit dem Gitarren-Einsprengsel den Funk ein.
  Wer sich diese EP einmal angehört hat, kann leicht nachvollziehen, wenn clone records schreiben: "In the vein of Reboot, Lemos and Nick Curly, but with a bit more bite" (http://clone.nl/item15519.html). "Not Trying To" hat Biss. Definitiv!"

DJ FLEG - TWO MILLION (HIP HOP MIX)

In the first of its kind, @kero1 presents a dj mix featuring his favorite Korean / Korean-American artists.

Excerpt from Kero: Being Korean-American, I try to keep in tune with current music from my motherland as well as the music from other Koreans around the world. In my latest mix “Seoul to LA” (succeeding my Plug Famalam and Uptempo mix series), I decided to try something I’ve never done before and present songs from my favorite Korean and Korean-American artists. Most people are familiar with most of the formulaic K-pop hits but as an avid music fan, I’ve wanted something more from Korea. In the past there were only a handful of quality groups and artists that I could say were publicly releasing dope hiphop/r&b/electronic music in Korea, but now I believe we are at a historical moment. I believe Korean music is growing like never before, and even independent artists are bleeding into the mainstream and even topping charts.

I used to be blown away when I’d tour Japan and see Japanese people vibing out to my stuff while I was rapping on stage. They didn’t understand 90% of what I was saying, but they’d always tell me after the show that they don’t understand the words, but they feel the vibe. I always wondered why it was never like that in America before the mid 2000’s. No promoter would ever throw a foreign hiphop show or attend one if they didn’t know what they were saying. Times have changed though, and America is now in that position. Even if you don’t understand what is being said in this mix, I hope you will feel the vibe like the Japanese did. This is Seoul to LA.

Weekend vibes. Don't forget your highwear!

Highwear

It is not every day we consider our roots,
When most are too busy, disguised in their suits,
Human history is hazy, our past almost concealed, 
But music is insight, to feel what is real.

Music is visceral, it's in our veins, 
Our hearts pump rythmic blood to our brains.
The mind, seemingly lost; stuck in a trance,
Our body sways in an undulating dance.

This is my tribute to our tribal ancestors,
To our incredible, enduring forefathers and mothers,
Men and women of the Earth,
Who respected GAIA and all her worth.

Time Goes (Final Fantasy XIII Theme Remix)

I have waited so long for this and now my dream has become true: Sade herself and Sony UK finally gave their okay to my secret edit so it is out now as an official Sade release on Get Physical // Poesie Musik and hits the stores on jan 16th 2015.

Press text:
Poesie Musik has the very special honor to announce the release of a remix of a song known the world over, authored by no less than Sade. One of the prolific singer's most well-known creations, ‚Pearls‘ is given a deluxe makeover by German dance floor mainstay Timo Jahns, whose moody, melancholy personal sound fits perfectly with the sultry vocals on one of the crooner's most moving songs. 

Hailing from Göttingen, Timo Jahns has carved out a name for himself on the German party circuit thanks in part to an endless list of edited music and remixes on labels like Ponsactrilau, Underyourskin Records, Neverending, Cometomusic, Klang Gymnastik and 9Volt, as well as his own imprint FREUNDCHEN RECORDS, created for an intimate circle of few. 

This latest foray into the reworking of certain melodic masterpieces comes after Timo’s remixes of music by the likes of songstress Melody Gardot and Bon Iver just last year. For this special rendition of ‚Pearls‘, the producer has carefully lead the tune into deep-house terrains and turned it into a track just begging for summer afternoons and thoughtful chill-out sessions.

Sade - Pearls (Timo Jahns Remix)

This musical journey started in Munich, Germany inside a vietnamese restaurant. While waitin in line to order their Pho (vietnamese Soup) to be exact. Enlightened and inspired by the taste of their Pho, Adriano, Felix and Ferdinand decided to head to the studio. This is how it all started. Since then they repeated this ritual at least once a week. The result? A fresh and tasty combination of electronic music and soulful vocals.
