@moffandtarkin is back on Lagaffe Tales with a record that marks the 9th release in the Lagaffe series. The Austrian based Icelander provides two originals as well as a remix from label friend @uffeisaband.

The record starts off with Tension a break inspired banger with that special Moff & Tarkin twist. If you spot the sample let us know and you might win a coupon.

The second track "Socks By The Sofa" feels like something that would work wonders at your local bowling arena or even shopping mall, some piano samples and vocals, you know the drill.

The b side is dedicated to a massive Uffe remix, I tell you man, we had to write him back like 5 times and ask him to reduce that bass. Uffe takes Tension and turns it into a jungle journey a la Indiana Jones.

Tracklist:
A1. Moff & Tarkin - Tension
A2. Moff & Tarkin - Socks By The Sofa
B1. Moff & Tarkin - Tension (Uffe Remix)

Moff & Tarkin - Tension [LAGAFFE009]

03 H.O.W. (Horses On Woodward)

This album has felt like a long time coming, as the first single ‘The Standard’ dropped back in September. But what a way this was to open an album!
This full-length collection entitled ‘Whateverism’ is the marker of twenty years in the music business for Turbojazz, and it is a celebration of his journey into the sonics and genres that have shaped his tastes and formed the trademark sound that he is known for about the globe. It’s a kaleidoscopic journey that glides from one track to the next in a highly impression fashion through shades of House, Nu Jazz, Hip House, Soul, and the most modern electronic drifts of Deep. Full to the brim with collaborations, you can find the much acclaimed, LA based MC Dave Giles II, who recently featured on the Honey Dijon track Work and on Beyoncé’s Cozy. You will also come across Detroit’s very own - and Moodymann’s most featured vocalist on the hallowed Mahogani Music - deep house diva Nikki O, who gets together with UK House master Sean McCabe on the ridiculously good ‘In Love Again’, plus Japan’s Brisa from the Bastard Jazz family too. 
All of this is packaged with some of the most promising talents from Italy, the motherland from which Turbojazz was born and bred. There’s Neapolitan & Srilankese vocalist Sara Vanderwert, who features on ‘You Are Worth It’, and the Arya who sings the stunning lyrics on ‘We Lost A Night’ in a duet with Losangelino rapper, Demetrius Rhymes. Not forgetting to mention Tommy’s long-time close collaborator from their trio Jaxx Madicine, Veezo, who is in charge of the brilliant key work and scintillating synths on most of the album.
Enjoy this highly impressive and unpredictable journey into the illusive world of Turbojazz. If the world did not know his name before, it will be standing up and knowing his name now.

PREMIERE : Christian James - The S & J Shuffle

He recalled the night before, remembered the smoke which filled the room as the music began to play loudly, her smile was radiant in the darkened haze.

The next few hours had been. a blur as he lost himself in the rhythm of the music which bounced and blundered between the walls of the small club. This was a magical place, a party like no other.

Sure enough, as he’d hoped he’d saw her later, she’d followed him home in the glow of the morning sun after the night before. Or perhaps that was just a memory of what had been before…

Awanto 3 is set to release a new EP on Rush Hour, a fun affair built up of moody textures and broken beats which really goes hard and comes with an interesting back story to boot…

“Party was born in a small village located in Wallonia during a period of house-sitting for a family on holiday. Initially my mother was asked to take care of the chickens, goat, dog and donkey but eventually I decided to take care of them to relieve my mother. This week turned out to be a small nightmare, because I think the house was being possessed by a spirit that I had to deal with night and day. The vibe of the house was so grimy, due to the fact that there were calendars with all kinds of weapons and dark oak furniture, interspersed with a huge flatscreen and blinds at the ready to be rolled out when the sun started to go down (by request of the paranoid owner). This setting affected my sketches; a dark side that was looking for contra light weight. After I took care of the animals, I had an energy to escape to my MPC to make the basis for a possible new album. When I got back in Amsterdam, I started to work out some of the sketches I’ve made in the ghost house together with Stefan and Jos in Studio K at Sloterdijk.”

193 • CODY CURRIE

Manchmal stirbt ein Mensch, den du liebst –
ohne zu sterben.
Er ist noch da. Atmet.
Aber er schaut durch dich hindurch,
als wärst du nur ein Echo aus einer anderen Welt.

Dieser Track entstand in einer Zeit,
in der ich loslassen musste,
obwohl mein Herz nichts anderes wollte als: halten.

Er ist keine Anklage, kein Drama,
sondern ein musikalischer Schwur:

Ich bin da.
Selbst wenn du gehst.
Selbst wenn du nie wieder zurückkommst.

„Ich halt Dich ganz fest (bis Dein Wahnsinn weg geht)“
zieht seine Kraft aus der Stille zwischen den Noten.
Verzerrte Pads, brüchige Melodien,
eine Kick wie ein leiser Herzschlag –
nicht stark, aber standhaft.

Ein Track für alle,
die gelernt haben, Menschen zu lieben,
die nicht mehr die sind,
die sie einmal waren.

Und trotzdem bleiben.

Tief im Moos

Ich halt Dich ganz fest (bis Dein Wahnsinn weg geht)
