MORTISSA / Çiğdem Aslan (Asphalt Tango Records)
Release date: 27th Sept 2013

Çigdem Aslan (pronounced Cheedem) is a rising star in the revival of rebetiko, the bitter-sweet, devil-may-care songs of an exiled underclass, sung in hash dens and 'Café Amans' of Athens, Piraeus and Istanbul from the 1920. ‘Mortissa’ (a strong independent woman) is an album of smyrneika/rebetiko songs in Greek and Turkish. Although there have been many recordings of rebetiko over the years, Çigdem Aslan presents a fresh take, an immigrant herself from her homeland, a person from a minority ethnic group, a female singer in a usually male genre.

“There's one thing that we will never do together, and that's make music!“ – „I can still hear myself saying that to Alix. That was about a year ago when we met up for the first time at the Wiener Augarten”, explains Mr. [dunkelbunt] telling the story of how his latest collaboration with the singer ALIX was born.

Born in Berlin, Alexander Leuschner was one of the influx of German students who came to Vienna taking advantage of Austria's affordable University system. Last summer he applied to [dunkelbunt] for an internship and although it had been made clear in the job description that the position did not incorporate making music but focused on the ins and outs of how a label operates he still sent in one of his songs along with a wonderfully brash application letter.

“When I listened to it I immediately felt like I'd met my musical soul mate and that was the reason I had to ring him to arrange that meeting at Augarten. Then after a few days of checking each other out we decided to make music together.” „Es ist egal, wo Du herkommst und auch egal wohin Du gehst, solang’ Du nur dem Weg Deines Herzens folgst und dafür gerade stehst....“ (“It doesn't matter where you come from or where you're going as long as you follow your heart and stand with pride...”) that was the first of his contributions that burrowed it's way into my head, a chorus that Alix wrote over the [dunkelbunt] Riddim “Schlawiener”, more or less as an acid test. A few weeks later he was standing with us on stage at the „National Tennis Center Bratislava and now I couldn't imagine [dunkelbunt] & Secret Swing Society without him.”

The first fruits of this collaboration will be released this summer with “Augen zu und durch” and “Süßwasser Salzwasser” the lyrics as the titles suggest are in German, “We inspire each other equally. My music is a homage to him and his lyrics are a homage to me which is both beautiful and liberating.” says Mr [dunkelbunt]. “With that foundation we decided to make an album together and the first release is the track “Boomeræng”, incorporating rap, vocals and swinging hip hop beats, using oriental and western instrumentation with a urban and nostalgic flair.”

Ulf Lindemann aka [dunkelbunt] was born in Hamburg in 1979 and came to Austria at the beginning of the millennium to study and make music. In 2002 in his Vienna studio he began to merge electronic music with Balkan, Gypsy and Swing sounds and along with his contemporaries like Waldeck, Parov Stelar and Shantel who helped popularize the new music genres, „Electro Swing“ and „Balkan Beats“.
On his albums, songs and remixes he captures the hum of the Global Village in our Cyber Age cooperating with over 150 musicians and incorporating 14 languages. Urban beats, grooving basslines, electronic and organic instrumentation and rhythms from the whole world. Mosaics of sound, soundbites and field recordings from his travels invite the listener to dance or to dream.

Up, Bustle and Out - An African Friendship (Une Amitié Africaine)

Shantel - Bucovina (Haaksman & Haaksman Remix)

We're well into the tropical coastal belt now in Ecuador and there's no more huaynos...just salsa everywhere. This track is one I got off a pretty poor compilation years ago called Salsa heat...so poor in fact that this track was mis-labelled 'El Chisme' by Celia Cruz. I've since heard that track and this clearly isn't Celia Cruz which leaves me with no idea what this is. If anyone who knows their latin wants to tell me what the original track underneath this remix is...I'd be delighted to find out.

"how can gypsy music and modern club-sounds 
go together without losing their essence?" 
Stani Vana, Vienna based producer, dj and musician answered this question with !Dela Dap ´s first album “Cigani Rusza + Angelo“, released in 2004. To get there he undertook a two year 
plus musical journey ac companied by lots of actual travelling to capture the magic of his childhood. 
Vana was then deeply touched by the wor ld and music of three Roma families that lived in the neighborhood.
A rich music full of melancholy, pain, beauty and s ensuality. Music that very likely always has been present during 
Vana´s own musical trip, that found him heavily involved i n the electronical sounds and beats that provided 
the soundtrack for a club-scene that imagined the dancefloor as some sort of urban utopia, where daily life 
and the distance between people were transcended. The desire to bring these wo 
rlds together laid the roots for the “Urban Gypsy Sound“, that !Dela Dap defined. The traditional Roma music and it´s i 
nstruments meet beats and electronic sounds, styles of music finally blended without losing their own identity and dig nity. 
Melinda Stoika added her fresh and unconventional phrasing of the lyrics, all sung in Romanese, reflecting her life´s 
 experience as a Romni living in the urban centers of Budapest and Vienna. Tibor Barkoczy (piano, arrangements) kicked o 
pen the door to jazz and Pista brought in his Cimbal and viennese charms. The journey had reached it´s end! “Angelo“, “A 
maro Shavo“ or the masterly exercise in downtempo, “Me Kamav Tu“ got popular in the european club scene, starting in 
 Hungary. Gypsy music was touched by remix- and club-culture for the first time which is a perfect reason to include t 
he remixes of “Amaro Shavo“ by N.O.H.A. and “Angelo“ by Karuan in this new edition of “Cigani Rusza + Angelo“.  The tre 
asure that this music and Roma culture in general are began finding a new audience through !Dela Dap´s visionary and ori 
ginal sound.

OANA CATALINA CHITU (RO): DIVINE
Romanian songs from the repertoire of Maria Tănase (1913-1963)
Maria Tănase is loved in Romania like no singer that has followed her. Even before the Second World War she performed folk songs, tangos, romances, couplets and căntece de mahala, music from the suburbs, in restaurants, in revue theatres and on the radio, usually accompanied by Roma musicians, the lăutari. Tănase developed her own expressive way of interpretation, making songs of every origin her own. Then the iron curtain fell between Eastern and Western Europe. Maria Tănase was increasingly forgotten in Romania throughout the 1960s, because her dramatic doinas or the oriental-sounding songs from the mahala, did not fit into the limited concept of man held by certain party officials. Maria Tănase was too much the extravagant diva and individualistic artist to allow herself to be co-opted by the state, let alone move even one millimetre towards mediocrity. And so in June 1963 she was buried like a queen at Bucharest's Bellu Cemetery. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets for her final journey. It wasn't until the 1990s before a new light was cast on the legacy of Maria Tănase. She was able to be rediscovered.In 2013, Romanians are celebrating the centenary of Maria Tănase's birth. This anniversary inspired the Romanian Oana Cătălina Chiţu, who lives in Berlin, to pay homage to the great singer.Oana Cătălina Chiţu grew up in northern Romania. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Ceauşescu regime, she moved to Berlin. Upon her arrival, she founded the Balkan band Romenca with Serbian accordion player Dejan Jovanovic, but her yearning for Romanian songs and her love of the artist Maria Tănase never disappeared. At the same time Oana Cătălina Chiţu is not an apologist, awestruck by the legacy of the Romanian diva Maria Tănase. She would like to enter into a dialogue with a phenomenal legacy which, with the exception of a few voices, has almost no creative follow-up in today's Romanian music scene. New Berlin acoustically encounters old Bucharest. Today, musicians from both countries are once again moving as easily between the two cities as they did in the 1930s, when tango singer Jean Moscopol performed in a Berlin casino or sang in the UFA film studios. Thanks to a large number of emigrants, music from the Balkans, and from Romania in particular, is better known in Berlin today than ever before; this is not restricted to a specific genre and goes far beyond the phenomenon of Balkan Beats. Oana Cătălina Chiţu is a part of this vibrant scene and her diva-like on-stage persona is reminiscent of times long past, when bohemians and intellectuals met in Bucharest's salons.
