Other People (feat. Jinadu)

Zurich's King Ben brings some smooth and sophisticated house sounds to two new tracks on Kindisch.

At one time, Ben was Switzerland's youngest DJ having secured a gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio aged just 13. From there he has developed his own signature deep house sound, rich in melody and with plenty of fresh grooves. He has promoted numerous parties back home and held residencies in places like Silo and Zoo Club. He has landed on the likes of WAYU, Bar 25 and this label before now and makes a welcome return to kick off his 2022.

Up first is the stylish 'Un Verre De Rosé,' an eight-minute symphony of cuddly synth work and wispy chords. Wordless vocal coos deepen the mood and daubs of melodic colour rise and fall like lava in a lamp. Add in the soft and seductive grooves and you have a brilliantly hypnotic track.

'Autumn Leaves' is just as exquisitely designed but with a more brooding mood. The drums stand taller, with rubbery synth sequences rising up and down the mix next to melancholic pads. There are deft details all around, from the subtle vocal wails to the woodblock hits via the warming sub-bass.

'Un Verre De Rosé' proves Ben is a master of escapist house music for quiet hours and cosy dance floors.

"Cherchez-Pas" is a song that resonates with me on multiple levels, both musically and narratively. Originally performed by Madleen Kane, this track was released in 1981, a period when disco was beginning to wane from the mainstream. Although it wasn't a major hit, the original trumpet arrangement immediately captured my attention. The song narrates the story of a woman on the dance floor, yearning to stop searching for love and simply enjoy the moment with her dance partner. This theme of finding connection on the dancefloor struck a chord with me, being one of the principal myths of disco.

My deep appreciation for disco was shaped by my love for Madleen Kane's "Forbidden Love" and "Fire in Your Heart," both of which epitomise the Eurodisco style thanks to the masterful production by Jim Burgess and Thor Baldursson. In my rendition of "Cherchez-Pas," I sought to pay homage to this classic Eurodisco style while adding my own contemporary flair. I focused on the drawing out its simplicity and elegance. I also introduced spoken French elements during the break, which evoke the ambiance of a Parisian evening, adding a personal and immersive layer to the track.

Reimagining "Cherchez-Pas" was a deeply rewarding process, allowing me to delve into the song's emotional depth and infuse it with my personal experiences and interpretations. It stands out on my album as a tribute to the enduring charm of disco and the personal narratives it can convey.

Her first release 'high eyes'  was featured on our summer sampler and floated onto the dance floor and into the consciousness of DJ's around the world. Oona studied sound design in the USA before moving to Berlin over the summer of 2015 to continue honing and crafting her sound.  Her first full EP for ADID features deep dreamscapes and innovative arrangements underpinned by solid grooves that capture emotive, twisted melodic expressions. She and her music are a trip to the depths.

Excuse us, we have to go to space now! Our gravity leads us, again, to a universe of emotions and flaws. The third installation of Mauerblumchen features a lustrous spectrum of everything that makes us who we are. Together, we explore the unlimited dimensions of space between notes, move in ellipses and circle the sun.
