SCHLEPPSTIGG - COLD MOVES  VERSION - BUBD004

The sandy dunes lined the sides of the great river. Green reeds could be seen blowing in the breeze above the swirling mists of the water below. Fighting the current they clung to the bed of the Nile, gripping for life so that they might not be swept away by the raging waves. The great heights of the pyramids looked down on the scene below as a voice cried out loudly in the blackened air. The Egyptian night grew still, a voice across the nile was all to be heard.

Disco Halal continue their profound run of form and ever growing release schedule as they offer up three reworks of TCP. Moscoman steps up to take on an exciting approach in 'A Voice Across The Nile'.

PREMIERE: TCP - A Voice Across The Nile (Moscoman Rework)[Disco Halal]

So. Here is the new love project Acid Hamam - It all started out as a live-performance where i mixed scandinavian and oriental folk music with slow, deep tech grooves that i ran through some patches in my modular system to spice things up. The live performance and response from the crowd was amzing! I´ll never forget that night!
The idea behind this EP ”Soul Sirocco” is basically about me growing up and excisting in this country. In this times. People always ask me where i come from. Sweden is never a good enough answer - because my hair is black. My eyes are brown. It happens wherever i go. Every country i travel to. With almost every new people i meet. My whole life. people are trying to figure me out on the basis of racial prenotion.
My lack of this kind of identity has led me to feel as part of everything. Since i can´t relate to a single national identity, i will relate to every one! And i will make music and i will try to make that music tell a story.
So when i blend old Scandinavian folk music with arabic shanting, and i see people dancing away in the haze of the dancefloor, is just magic. In these moments everything becomes ONE. Just as it´s supposed to be.
This unity is what Acid Hamam is about! This is the most honest record i ever made. Stay put for some upcoming live performances during 2016.

Acid Hamam - Vallmusik

The train was parked stationary in the distance. The metallic frame looked out of place against the scenic backdrop of the mountain peaks. The rusted wheels were crusty and orange, the paint of each carriage flaked and tattered. There was an ancient myth as to how it had ended up here, abandoned and ruined amidst the leafy pines. Many years had passed since it had entertained the glamorous guests and passengers of ancient days. It had once been a thing of beauty. It still was really, in its own way. 

Arne Spremberg is set to release an EP on his newly launched record label Domum. The Chalet regular has built a reputation as one of Vienna's finest and the EP is accompanied by a remix from our good pal Man Power.

@Leonoroficial - Our newest member of the Tom Tom Disco Crew opens with an a lethal  party starter!

We got some pure, dark, organic, worldly sounds with a bunch of psychedelic interpretations from masters like Ali Kuru, Richard Rossa, beside the label-newcomers Son & Nasiri. Ali Kuru puts a fantastic Turkish hypno-funk twist to his interpretation, and makes it a crazy psych-disco banger, while Richard Rossa is taking a slow, hypnotic dub-minimal approach. 
Nasiri, a traditional Sufi musician ads his fantastic sets of live-instruments, like the Oud and Flute, to the original sounds and evolves the track in into a organic, epic and magic journey. 
Mexian born SÒN also spice things up with an organic and pumping tech-vibe. All this makes for an absolutely BOMB release. About time to get this in orbit! <3 <3

04 Leonor - Kuum (Ali Kuru Interpretation)

After Cook Strummers' debut album 'The Fall', LOK Recordings' seventh release represents four different interpretations of its single 'Fallen'.

The original song by the Belgian singer, songwriter and producer has been reshaped by Marco Resmann, Sasse, Ryan Crosson and dOP.

Each one of them delivered their unique version of 'Fallen' and made it possible for us to present an EP full of surprises.

Acid Pauli is back with another four-track EP on the label he co-manages with friend and collaborator Nico Stojan. 
This EP, self-effacingly titled 'Had to get rid of some shit', showcases Martin Gretschmann’s dancefloor prowess yet again. 
'Dancing In The Trunk' is a hyped-up loopy banger - minimal in instrumentation but fully psychedelic in execution. 
'Goran Utan' has a deeper, darker edge, with a tension that will tighten the grip on many dancefloors. 
'Shakmat, but happy' appears in 'Pauli's Psychedelic Breakfast Take 9' and is a slow-building, loop-based groover, eventually opening up to reveal tinges of acid. 
Lastly, the digital exclusive 'Edging in den Trunk' is a slower bomb - shuffling percussion and drifting arpeggios provide the lightness to this exquisite cut, which is based on the lead track 'Dancing In The Trunk'.
