Le Rubrique & TGRBM - Makes You Feel Alright (Original Mix)

Katermukke is more than proud to present VALENTIN, Dan Bay & Le Rubrique with their absolutely amazing debut EP “Wir sind Kinder” 

"Wir sind Kinder" is a hymn to freedom for all people without the support and acceptance of the majority of society who still have to fight every day to be who they are and to be able to love who they want.  However the track doesn't bear witness to complaints, the track bears witness to hope. “We are children - and we are many of them”.

Lyrically as well as musically, the downtempo piece does a balancing act between lightness and drama - like the soundtrack of a dream. A minimalist electronic beat to dramatic tuba and harpsichord. 

The accompanying remix by Niconé expresses nothing less than the basic essence of the track: "We fly when we dance. I am everything you are."

"Mädchen im Mond" is a classic love song: it's about long nights, seduction, attraction and togetherness. The fact that it is deliberately a love story between two women is not intended as a sales argument, but as a reflection of the reality of the environment around the singer VALENTIN. 

It's the soundtrack of a dream come true, blurring the lines of memory and hope. The whole piece is based on just one note of a kalimba. Beginning with organic sounds, the piece's dramaturgy culminates in a bass-heavy club sound that disappears into nothingness and leads back to the source. 

Dirty Doering himself created a remix for this piece, which catapults the listener into an ecstatic game of rapprochement.

Palham Music sagt allen Beteiligten Danke! Ihr habt uns zum Teil über Jahre begleitet, geprägt, inspiriert und euphorisiert – sei es im Audio- und Printbereich oder einfach nur als Menschen.
Und wo begann alles? Im Club – diesem dunklen Soziotop, in dem vieles möglich war und ist. Die viel zitierte Macht der Nacht. Mit Blaak Paradize bringen wir eine Hommage auf den Club unserer Erinnerung heraus, mit all seinen musikalischen Facetten und Brüchen.

In blaak we trust
In love we must
In paradize your mind
And your youth is blind

Released: 2016 |  Vinyl, 12″, Black, 315 Copies include a special booklet

Phonk D connects with his buddy Le Rubrique. 
They created three real floor bangers with some heavy punch.
Raw MPC drums, disco samples and classic synths melt into 
a deep funky mixture. As a very special goodie they could 
team up with the great Borrowed Identity, who contributed 
a pretty nice remix to this EP. Watch your feet!

Le Rubrique, who’s been at the forefront of Germany’s disco-house scene with his work behind the scenes with Sucio, is back with his new track “Pata Pata”, releasing on the latest volume (012) of the German Footjob label. Demonstrating his versatility with this addictive, well crafted, afro disco machine, Le Rubrique also utilizes pieces from oft-sampled afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

Le Rubrique, employs his signature disco-house sound on "Pata Pata", but in a fresh and striking way. The song is kicked off by an infectious drum fill which helps to drive the main beat, creating an irresistibly catchy groove. The percussion is quickly met by the introduction of a choppy warm rhodes melody, that when paired with the subtle shakers and crispy open hi-hats, give it the rawness and organic feel of a live show. Let's not forget the sampled vocals from the famous Fela composition, Upside Down, that really tie the whole piece together. Le Rubrique is normally known to mix his tracks to have somewhat of a softer vibe, but with this track's soaring brass hits and powerful drums, his versatility shines through. You can find Footjob's latest compilation including Le Rubrique's track "Pata Pata" here.

Children Of The 80s

Le Rubrique - Children Of The 80s

German artist 'Le Rubrique' debuts on NDYD Records with a magical journey to the 80's by recreating a sound of an epoque that has defined today’s music in so many ways. The a-side, the pumping ‘Children Of The 80s’ jump-starts the journey right onto the dance-floor of NYC’s legendary club Disco 54 and gets feet shuffling and bodies moving straight away.
But that’s not all: On the b-side of the release, which is perfectly named ‘1984’, the Frankfurt-based producer teamed up with Dan Bay to craft a master-pieced loaded with original synth and drums coming
straight from that era. Another exciting tune to relive the past and to celebrate life on roller-skates or towering shoes for a moment or two.

‘Children Of The 80s’ will be available via Word and Sound Germany (vinyl/digital) starting July 22nd 2019

PREMIERE : Le Rubrique & Dan Day - 1984

Limpio Records is a vinyl and digital record label, founded in 2019 and based in Frankfurt am Main. Focusing on downtempo, organic and slow techno music, their first release, "Seltene Erden", is a compilation featuring artists that create new ideas of slow electronic and danceable music between 100 and 108 BPM. Their aim is to bring people, nature, cities and music together in a slow and powerful way through releases that tell a story and are made to bring a different mood to the dance floor.

Inasmuch as Limpio Records is headquartered in Frankfurt, their debut EP bring artists who are based in the "Stadt am Meer", such as label boss Dan Bay (whose song features lyrics and vocals by Mahmoud, a talented and skilled Iranian refugee), Hendrik Klangrausch, Le Rubrique and The MPC Orchestra, in order to contribute to the growth of the local downtempo scene – which has been growing fast and getting more and more internationally known.

The tune we chose to premiere, "Moscow Mule" by local hero Le Rubrique, is a downtempo track highly influenced by the slow electronic music of the 90s, combined with modern mixing and some disco elements. All the drumming and the atmosphere are rough and based on an MPC groove. It would fit perfectly in a TRON: Legacy-like movie original soundtrack, by the way.

Now, do yourself a favour: Grab ice, vodka, spicy ginger beer and lime juice, prepare a Moscow Mule and sip it slowly, very slowly, while you listen to this beautiful premiere.

Soon you will be able to find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/limpio-records/84429

Philippos Sîpano & The MPC Orchestra – The Spirit Of Dilovan
Kalakuta Soul Records 2020 – Cat # KKSEP002

12“ Vinyl Release 
Limited to 500 copies 

The long awaited debut album by kurdish multi-instrumentalist Philippos Sîpano and Frankfurt am Main’s mighty duo Dan Bay & Le Rubrique aka The MPC Orchestra marks the fifteenth release on Kalakuta Soul
Records. 

“The Spirit of Dilovan” pays tribute to Philippos Sîpano and Dan Bayat’s youth band “Spirit Of Dilovan”, sketches the different musical paths the two took over the years and finds its final form in their new collaboration with Le Rubrique, a master in the studio and a true patchbay wizzard.

With multilayered arrangements based on different kurdish music traditions and inspired by their individual experiments and experiences in Pop- and Clubculture, Philippos Sîpano & The MPC Orchestra’s
new album can both be perceived as diasporic Popmusic or epic dancefloor monster for experienced music lovers.

All songs were produced at Offenbach’s Upper Citycenter Studio and dedicated to all DIlovans* out there, hoping they will one day constitute the majority of all people and we will all find peace, love and habibtiness on planet earth.

* good-hearted people <3
