12" vinyl and digital release.

On its’ release in November 2022, Daniel Stenger’s debut mini-album as Flashbaxx, Take Care My Friend, won plenty of plaudits for its’ enticing blend of jazz-funk instrumentation, audible warmth, effortless musicality, and memorable, sun-soaked songs. Now the set returns in remixed and reworked form, with a sextet of artists taking it in turns to put a new spin on the German producer’s carefully crafted and immaculately executed tracks.

The six-cut vinyl version boasts two revisions that have already made waves on digital download: a genuinely life-affirming hip-hop-soul take on ‘Strangers’ courtesy of East Midlands’ maestro Atjazz, where Katherine Kempf’s smouldering lead vocals rise above head-nodding beats, woozy electric piano chords, yearning horn arrangements and smooth bass guitar, and a sublime Moods mix of ‘Love Boat’ that re-frames the track as a languid, groove-fired shuffle through Balearic jazz-funk territory.

The other four reworks, which are exclusive to this EP, are similarly inspired. Chris Pookah collaboration ‘City Lights’ is given the remix treatment not once, but twice. First NuNorthern Soul regulars Mike Salta and Mortale re-imagine the track as a gently breezy, dusk-ready blend of bouncy, samba-influenced grooves and colourful Balearic nu-disco, before BJ Smith – the first artist to release music on Phil Cooper’s imprint way back in 2012 – takes the track into semi-acoustic, blue-eyed-soul-meets-Balearic jazz-funk territory. Gentle, tactile and vibrant, it’s a stunning, soul-stirring revision.

To round off the EP, two producers renowned for creating atmospheric, sunrise-ready soundscapes deliver their versions of Stenger’s kaleidoscopic, musically rich aural visions. Marshall Watson handles ‘Alright’, smothering a languid, slow-motion drum machine beat in jazzy double bass, delay-laden electric piano motifs, lazy jazz guitars, rising synth strings and the dreamiest of pads. 

Then, to round things off in considerable style, Tambores En Benirras reworks title track ‘Take Care My Friend’, teasing out the track’s inherent musical colour and warmth whilst adding his own distinctive spin. Pleasingly hard to pigeonhole, his remix makes extensive use of deep, dubby bass, Latin-style percussion, leisurely beats, blossoming synth sounds and all manner of effects-laden instrumental flourishes – including guitar solos that recall some of Dave Gilmour’s most laidback, eyes-closed moments. It provides a genuinely brilliant conclusion to an effortlessly impressive set of remixes.

Ich hatte die Ehre mein neues Live-Set in Innsbruck auf dem Bogenfest spielen zu dürfen – und das vor einer absolut traumhaften Kulisse! Trotz des frühen Slots hat sich der Platz bis zum Ende meiner Performance richtig gut gefüllt und es war mir ein Vergnügen, neue Sounds und Edits zu testen und die Energie mit euch zu teilen.

Ein großes Dankeschön geht auch an die Orga für die Einladung und die top technische Betreuung. Und vor allem an meine Crew, ohne die diese Aufzeichnung nicht möglich gewesen wäre. 

I had the honor of performing my new live set in Innsbruck at the Bogenfest – all in front of an absolutely stunning backdrop!

A big thank you to the organizers for the invitation and the excellent technical support. And most importantly, to my crew – this recording wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Vine n’est pas le genre de personne que l’on présente par un « Dès l’âge de 5 ans », car de l’enfance, il n’a gardé que l’essentiel : une énergie débordante. D’un rock et sa batterie jusqu’au sommet Tech/Deep-House et CDJs, la route des vins a donné naissance à un de ses plus grands crus, qui sans prétentions, viendra délicatement laisser un goût inoubliable à l’audition.
