Lawrence - Fifteen Minutes With You

“Wir könnten jeden Tag irgendwo auf der Welt ein Stadion füllen. Aber fällt uns noch Musik ein, die den Menschen wirklich etwas bedeutet?“ (Bono)
Monkey Maffia füllt irgendwo auf der Welt mühelos einen Club. Nun fällt ihm auch noch Musik ein, die den Menschen wirklich etwas bedeuten kann. War sein Debüt noch eine Suche, hat er mit seiner zweiten Vö. direkt Platz genommen. Seine Variationskompetenz, die man auch von ihm als DJ-Derwisch kennt, hat er etwas gezügelt und in die richtigen Bahnen gelenkt. Siehe da: Three Maffia Lions die da brüllen Monkey’s coming home! 
Alle drei Lieder kommen mit einem Schwung daher, welcher einen aus dem Sessel kippt.  Mit der Flamme im Herzen entwickelt er eine Art Ghetto Slam-Sound, getränkt in Euphorie &amp; Spielfreude mit Mut zum Experiment. Ist das noch House oder Techno?!
Als notorischer Musikliebhaber und Beat-Sammler hat er eine Vielzahl von Einflüssen in sich aufgesogen. Eine Affinität zu Breaks samt UK Funky &amp; Garage Würze machen bei ihm den Jack aus. Ja, die Leerstellen machen den Groove. Sollen doch Andere hochdeutsch sabbeln und recyceln. Er liebt die feinen Dialekte der Welt und das hört man seiner Musik bis in die hintersten Ritzen an. Weltoffen mit einer Coolness in der Hüfte hat Monkey Maffia einen Klang mit eigener Dichtung entwickelt, der weit über die Club Standardsprache hinausgeht, um genau da seine volle Wirkung zu erzielen. 

A) Ganz klar, dies ist die Rampensau der Platte. Es beginnt gerade, plötzlich hüpfen überall Breakdancer herum. Eine unwiderstehliche Stimme reibt sich mit den Beats und Bässen, bis alles zu einem Monster von Track in den Superlativ zielt. Dieser shaked Groove ist der Beste den es jemals gegen Zellulitis gegeben hat.
B1) Ein Traumprinz sitzt am Piano. Dazu geht eine Beatstruktur steil, die samt female Vocal- Schnipsel mit dezenter 90ies Affinität aus den Boxen drückt. Sommer Freiflächen must have and play für ein Lebensgefühl an der frischen Luft. Schöne Freiheit.

B2) Herzlich Willkommen zum Trommelworkshop in der Klapsmühle! Monkey Voodoo Zauber unter Einfluss feinster Naturdrogen. Einfach mal probieren…

Monkey Maffia - A1 Sources From The Past ED.1.

Seven years down the line and Tamed Musiq is proud to present its first-ever album release: "Upstream Colour“ by Iron Curtis. This long overdue follow-up to "Soft Wide Waist Band“ represents a milestone for the Berlin-based producer and easily ranks as his most accomplished work to date. Similar to an impressionist painter, Iron Curtis portrays a well-known subject (House Music) in a dream-like setting by employing a palette of ethereal sounds, subdued melodies and bass-heavy beats. “Upstream Colour” is a beautiful musical experience that never strays too far from the dancefloor yet requires multiple listens in order to unlock all of its mysteries.

Johannes Paluka has enjoyed a prolific career since he has started using the Iron Curtis moniker back in 2009. His releases on Mirau, Hudd Traxx, Retreat or Uncanny Valley have been highly praised and have certainly contributed to the resurgence of deep house in the last decade. His music as part of prolific duos Achterbahn d'Amour with Jürgen Albert, Moon with Johannes Albert and Smpl with Leaves has also been widely celebrated. But as Johannes was going through a difficult period in his life at the beginning of 2016, the events in turn sparked a flurry of inspiration which resulted in the core of "Upstream Colour“. The producer has then spent the last two years working on different projects while continuously fine-tuning his second album and making it his most personal creation up to now.

"Upstream Colour“ is a stunning journey in twelve parts where ambient pieces effortlessly slide into club-ready tracks, thanks to a very distinct range of sounds. There's an unmistakable dream-like quality to the music as subtle tones, elusive melodies and background noises give the impression of looking at familiar elements through a veil. "Boorang“, "Werc Werc Werc“ or “Holding Back” can definitely light up the dancefloor but they also evoke a certain distance from it and are keen to drift into an otherworldly realm, somewhat reminiscent of the cinema of David Lynch.

But even at it's most peculiar, there's an undeniable warmth that radiates from "Upstream Colour" which is best illustrated in its calmer moments such as "Ease Pt. 1 and 2“, "Bethanien“ or the closer "Mt. Gordon“ where ripples of white noise seem to wash away the 'classic' house sounds of yesterday. And then there are the cathartic pieces such as the title track or the gorgeous “Lucent”: beginning in the now familiar fog-like signature, these tracks brilliantly evolve to let in beams of emotion tingled with melancholy. “Lucent” in particular is prone to illuminate even the darkest dancefloor with its majestic strings and heartwarming synths.

“Upstream Colour” is a mesmerizing album that follows the listener long after it has reached its end, akin to a dream that lingers on well beyond the moment of waking up. It is also a testimony to Iron Curtis' boundless talent as a musician whose abilities extend far beyond the genre of House Music.

Hiem - She's The One (Circles In Time Remix By Mathew Jonson)

OUT NOW: http://lnk.to/PH44RMX

Originally written and produced as the centrepiece to his 2014 FabricLive compilation, Erol Alkan’s ‘Sub Conscious' arrives on 12” vinyl and to streaming platforms for the first time, accompanied by two charismatic remixes from Manfredas.

Shimmering and undulating, the original cut of ‘Sub Conscious’ was designed with Fabric’s cavernous main room in mind, taking full advantage of any finely-tuned soundsystem with a patient, rhythmic trip. Remastered here, the track evolves out of hazy darkness towards halcyon euphoria in a uniquely Alkan style.

Resident at Opium Club in Vilnius, cult DJ and producer Manfredas provides two hugely creative and alternative takes on ‘Sub Conscious’. The first works hallucinatory magic with a supple bassline and much of Alkan’s original stretched and repurposed around vampish oscillations and a westward vocal sample.

On the contrary, the ‘Stream Of Consciousness' mix sees Manfredas pitch down and strum the bones of ‘Sub Conscious’, unexpectedly delivering a lovingly lethargic, bottom-heavy jam that’s pure dubside pleasure.
