Bertil Mark says it all: Too Distant How much do we miss the happiness on the dance floor !? This "Anything goes" - the digressing to be closer to yourself - detached from the external circumstances that concern us in everyday life. This just being happy not listening to the music but to listen to yourself with the music: That's what Bertil Mark creates. Too Distant is the desire to be close and yet shows us: we are alone together. PNN has decided at a time when a lot is breaking down - others are waiting for the crisis to end - to continue where it was lost some time ago - especially in this uncertain time to start again with the simple claim: "What does the world cost? - lets go!" Even when there are no raves, parties or festivals - listen to the music and live the dream. You are not alone!

Bertil Mark is no stranger to Germany's music scene - not least as a producer of Popnoname, Urlaub in Polen, Von Spar or German pop greats like Clueso or Thomas D - on whose former horse farm "M.A.R.S." he resides and has built an unlikely music studio. As a show & light designer he works with The Notwist, FM Einheit, Jan Delay, Lindemann etc together, to name just a few stars of German pop culture.

But Bertil is also what is called an apparition. When he walks through the streets, people stop and watch him. Not just because of his great looks - no - there is something about him that makes him unique. What many know about themselves, but very few manage to live out. And yes - Parago Seiler put it this way: "[...] he is always one step ahead of himself, uncompromising in artistic matters and probably what you would call a real artist [...]"

On Too Distant, the debut on PNN, he does what he promises. Two incredible tracks that make you dance and dream with remixes by Popnoname and Julian Stetter, who will then release his first full-length album on PNN. All of this digitally and on vinyl - at a time when there is no such thing as giving up. We want the world, and we want it now.

LISTEN/BUY/STREAM: https://pamparecords.lnk.to/Ada_MoonRiderEP
Release Date: January, 28th, 2022
--------
For years we've been saying she should sing more and stop doing techno.

Anyone can do techno - but no one can do Ada's voice.

What has she been doing for the last 11 years?
Stroking basil? K Hole ? Chicken fricassee?
Slow cooking has definitely found its master in Ada.

When she reinterprets "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago, and DJ Koze brings out his inner Burt Bacharach towards the end, even such an old men band becomes bearable. The other piece is even more beautiful.

Space excursions are in fashion. This one lasts no less than 3 minutes.

With `Moon Rider´, our deceleration commissioner beams us at the speed of light to the planet of the ungrateful sweet tooth.

So beautiful, so magical!

Ada, Ada, Ada, you magnificent parallel world creature,
why do you treat us like blue-footed boobies?
Don't we deserve something so beautiful more often?

Caribou - Mars (Dj Tennis Rework)

Before he releases ‘Don’t Believe In Happiness’, his next full length album on the label, Finnish artist Jori Hulkkonen teases us with two new tracks on My Favorite Robot Records.

Hulkkonen is a regular on this label with his three last albums coming through the imprint. A prolific producer with a real mastery of his synths, he creates atmospheric soundtracks couched in techno but with a wide world of influences contained within. These new tracks are two of the more DJ friendly cuts from the “rather dark and moody forthcoming album, and have been secret weapons in his sets for a while now.

Up first, the majestic ‘I am the Night’ has all elements Jori has come to love in house music over the past 30 years: a slightly distorted, punchy 808, mystic vocal sample and a dramatic chord sequence. It is a serene and zoned out cut that really gets you under its spell.

On the flip, ’Tintån Terdel’ is a more laid-back groove based on a fine chord structure and with a bouncy bassline reminiscent of Metro Area and arpeggios a la Daft Punk from their golden turn of the millennium period, all finished with chords from Miami Vice-era Jan Hammer. “This track is dedicated to my favourite hangout in my home town in Turku,” says Jori of the breezy and laid-back number.

These two great cuts offer a tantalising taster of what is to come from the full album later in the year.

Iron Curtis will release his second solo album later this month and we're premiering this especially deep and moody cut that instantly caught our ears on a first listen. Boorang is taken from “Upstream Color” and will come out via Ripperton’s Tamed Musiq imprint.

The album definitely lives up to its name. A vibrant, 12-track collection of mesmerising house threaded together by lush, beatless vignettes, it’s the producer’s most cohesive work to date and is replete with special moments and nourishing sounds.
