Boiler Room DJ Mix : September 2013

The next time you have some friends over for dinner and they’re asking: “Hey, what’s this great sound playing? Let’s go out and party!”, in many places the answer probably is: “That’s the new one by Paskal & Urban Absolutes”. The blank faces of your circle of friends can be encountered best with: “It’s those two guys that were signed by Alex Barck for Sonar Kollektiv about two years ago. They are resident DJs at their label nights by now. And even though one of them, Alexander, lives in Berlin and the other one, Adrian lives in Dusseldorf both make music together. They fly and drive back and forth and that’s how this fabulous album came into being.” Then you may want to rewind the record to it’s beginning and play it from scratch.

The opening track “Take The Fall” indicates nicely which direction the journey with Paskal & Urban Absolutes will take: The sugar sweet, soothing voice of Pete Josef from Bristol (one half of The White Lamp) bids you welcome in a very charming way and the production implies lasciviously that we're standing on the stairway to clubland. Already with the next track “Here Again” we are in the middle of the eye of the storm. Paul Randolph (the official singer of the Jazzanova live band) purifies a true dancefloor banger, that – and this is the big stunt – also works just as well at home. 

For “White Walls” and “Flieg Los” Alexa Voss of Neve Naive wrote some super catchy lyrics and lends her vocals to the two poppiest songs of the whole album. An album which is rich in pop appeal but never concealing its strong affinity for dance music – as in house, techno and even boogie. 

Take for instance “Hold Your Head Up” (featuring Kasar), a mysterious hybrid best described imagining the Pet Shop Boys doing deep house together with Hot Chip. 
Or “The Way”, where we are delighted by the tonsils of Desney Bailey and an arrangement so eager for the bassline that it evokes nothing but smiling faces and the urge to shake your body. Catchiness, positivism and euphoria (the name of one track by the way) – these are the catchphrases that come to mind when listening to this truly mesmerizing debut by one of the most promising new acts in a scene not to be defined by any genre. 










When second-last track, “Melancholia”, kicks in it's like the end of the best holidays of your life. A perfect Balearic bliss with memories of sitting at the sea, listening to a distant guitar and waving goodbye to a setting golden sun. So long, my friends. 

This album will impress you and your future guests with awe for months to come. Rest assured.

MAY 2025 MIX

Oh my God. Lost and found. From the old days of record playing. My live special for the Jazzanova Radio in March 2005, 20 years ago. Back then I was very influenced by my work for the Kaleidoskop parties at Cafe Moskau and my monthly DJing at the Icon Club for ‘Solid Steel - Ninjatune’! Take part in this little journey through time and the vibe of the music I celebrated with the crowd back then. Including an old photo! If you like it, leave a like, repost or comment. This mix is for all time travellers and is only presented without further promotion.

Glenn Underground: Worldwide FM x Rush Hour

Producer/multi-instrumentalist Stefan "Merse" Ulrich and singer/songwriter Neve aka Alexa Voss are Neve Naive. And with "The Inner Peace Of Cat And Bird" they just released on Sonar Kollektiv one of the most astonishing debut albums of the year.

The first single off the album, “Dancer”, is now being released with three remixes – each of them as particular as inspiring. On the A side you get the one by Superluminal. After the three guys from Warsaw, Fabian, Greg and Cbass, have provided their typical funky sound to the remix of Jazzanova's “I Human” last year, they were eventually first choice for a rework of “Dancer”. The track now even more makes you get a move on and grooves thanks to a fresh rhythm guitar and added percussion right across the dance floor with a big feisty grin.

Paskal & Urban Absolutes also want to squeeze the funk out of the track. As you know funk appears in different shapes and forms though. The one by the remixing duo of the hour comes in much more sec and impulsive. The arrangement has been totally disposed as well – everything pointing towards 5 o'clock in the morning, the time when sweat and tears of joy start to blend.

The third remixer isn't a new name in Sonar Kollektiv's stable as well. Moscow based Phil Gerus belongs, next to Paskal & Urban Absolutes, to the uprising shooting stars of the label. He owes less to the dance floor than to the things that happen afterwards, after a long night out. His remix of “Dancer” displays again impressively why he is one of the leading spearheads of chillwave. The original is put through the mill so drastically that in the end only the essence of it is left over. And in a medicative way or so this just feels so damn good.
