Luomo - Tessio

It’s a family affair!! 
What you are holding in your hands is the first part of a new series on Connaisseur called “Alex Flitsch meets…” where label head Alex Flitsch teams up with various friends from the label family and its surroundings.

The inspiration for the first part was several trips to Barcelona, where Alex and the Audiofly boys, Ant and Luca spent time working on their music vision whilst enjoying a laugh and delicious food. The result is Alex first release since ages and will definitely bring the newly minted Cocoon Club-resident to another level of attention.

The two tracks are state of the art house and combine Alex long lasting DJ experience with the extraordinary studio skills of Audiofly. 
Long Way To Go is a peaktime-orientated monster of a house track. The idea was to reinterpret classic filter house sounds into modern form. 
Conversation is a real gem with its deep dubby groove and the strongly nineties influenced sound aesthetic. 
The release will be completed with a wonderful remix treatment for Long Way To Go by Romanian newcomer Ali Nasser. 

More cooperations with other well-known friends and members of the Connaisseur family are in pipeline, so better watch out!

PREMIERE: Salary Boy - Mistakes [Shadow City Records]

The music of Genius of Time has always been defined by a certain elegance and grace. Finding new ways into and out of the labyrinth that some people call (deep) house, one the Swedish duo’s inner strength is the uncanny ability to create tension, sustaining and playing with it, before rewarding the listener (or dancer) with a fulminating mirror ball. Same goes for their treatment of percussive elements. 
„Peace Bird“, the opener of GOT’s EP of the same name, is a prime-example of that technique: a tight build-up and an intricate breakdown lead to heavily strings and foolproof floor finesse. Coming along with „Smiling Into Eternity“ that mellows you down easy as well as the club ready  „Rymd01“, the whole thing is a more than worthy successor to GOT’s first EP for Running Back almost five years ago. Niceness unlimited. Nerd facts: most of the elements of these three tracks here were recorded live and then mixed down on a reel to reel. No safety net, no double bottom!  Genius of time and genius of love.

'Gorilla Man' - Condry Ziqubu

Before FRANCO FORTE saw daylight, he was already moving in another dimension: music. His first connection to the world wasn’t a cry, but the steady, pulsing heartbeat of a disco bassline, echoing through the warmth of his mother’s womb. Curtis Mayfield, Donna Summer, Chic – not lullabies, but early awakenings. His early mentors were not teachers, but magicians: Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Theo Parrish.
▲▲  ▲
In 2003, he stepped into the nightlife. Vienna became his playground, the legendary Leopold his laboratory. From 2004 to 2010, he shaped genre-bending nights – one vinyl at a time. Disco never died. House never stopped. They danced on in his hands.
But FRANCO FORTE is no retro romantic. His sound is not nostalgia – it’s an act of devotion: to groove, to guitar, to raw basslines, to ecstatic house and sparkling disco in all its shades – playful, gritty, smooth, explosive. He quotes funk with a wink, lets guitar riffs float like thoughts, and grounds it all with a bassline that says more than words.
Clubs like Volksgarten, Pratersauna, and Flex became moments in time. PMK, Rauch, Postgarage – cities became stories. He doesn’t just DJ – he carves space out of sound.
Since 2010, he’s been the beating heart of ImPulsTanz, Austria’s most celebrated international festival for dance and performance. A DJ among dancers, a dancer among DJs – a storyteller without a mic, using decks instead of words.
