This old, melancholy ballad from Bulgaria’s southern Rhodope Mountains remains widely popular well into the21st century. Countless Bulgarian musicians, choral groups and soloists have their own unique recordings of Devojko Mari Hubava. On the internet, Google hits now total more than 10,000 – including haunting choral, acapella and musical presentations of all types, and occasional dances.
The ballad introduces a young couple in love who meet, perhaps for a last time, sensing that things are not going well. Over a drink they discuss which of them can tell the saddest story. The girl goes first; she’s come to realize that no dowry she could ever possibly assemble would be enough to bring acceptance from her boyfriend’s family. Then it’s the boy’s turn; he reveals that he has been drafted into the military – called to fight in a war he doesn’t want and from which he likely will never return.
Bulgarian listeners associate the saga to a time during the country’s 500-year occupation by the Ottoman Turks.
Sometimes Orthodox Christians living in the Rhodopes were presented with an ultimate choice – accept the Moslem religion or lose their lives. An iconic Bulgarian movie – “Time of Violence” – set in this time period portrays the heart-wrenching dilemma described in the ballad, with strains from Devojko Mari Hubava heard in the background -

For our next release we get visited from the far north of the two Hamburg friends Metatext & Karhua, who are well known for making dope music.

 

Their new creation is the Lungern EP, equipped with three original tracks and ready to take off. Beautiful remixes are coming from the usual suspects Deep Ändi & Deisen who are always up for fun. You can expect some dancefloor weapons on this release that will let the audience drift to higher grounds.

 

As always, a big thank you goes to Kilian Van de Water for the great artwork and to Metatext for the tight masters. We hope you love this episode of our trip as much as we do.

Enjoy!

Futureboogie Recordings is calling time after ten years with a 20-track compilation that sums up the sound of the lovingly curated Bristol label. From throbbing arps and noirish guitar twangs to errant analogue blips and ceaseless, rolling grooves, it’s a different sound to what you might have heard five years back on the Summer Riot IV compilation, and certainly a long way from the early days. Consider Futureboogie 10² an ode to evolution as much as a toast to all the great tracks and the family of artists that have passed through the wide-reaching Futureboogie sphere since before the label was even a sparkle in the disco ball.
 
Originally founded by Dave Harvey and Steve Nickolls, the roots of Futureboogie lie in an intimate Bristol party called Seen. Started in 2002, this open-hearted session invited the likes of Metro Area, Attica Blues, Carl Craig, Maurice Fulton, Moodymann and Gilles Peterson – based on that heavyweight list, you can see the foundations were laid for what was to come. Futureboogie evolved off the back of these parties as a many-limbed operation – an artist management and booking agency as much as a club night, with Harvey and Nickolls consolidating the sound as DJs around Bristol and beyond. The progression to a record label was a logical one.
 
When Futureboogie Recordings launched in 2011 with Julio Bashmore and Javeon McCarthy’s ‘Father Father’, it represented an extended circle of friends close to the label from Bristol’s deep pool of talent and beyond – amongst them Eats Everything, Waifs & Strays, PBR Streetgang, Behling & Simpson and Crazy P. The reach of the label grew in tandem with its reputation, not to mention the endeavours of the team in other areas of the music game. The Boogiefuturo label became a vital entity on its own terms, carrying a lauded DJ Nature remix of Typesun which encapsulates two distinct generations of Bristolian house music at its best. DJ Nature, who cut his teeth as DJ Milo in the Wild Bunch days, has gone on to become a regular feature on Futureboogie, helping define its soulful, adventurous spirit.

This beautiful edit comes from the mastermind of Bastia-based Valerj, a DJ, producer, and co-creator of the label From Disco To Disko and of the Ballà Boum Festival which is held every summer in Corsica. Here, he pays tribute to Sauveur Mallia, a French genius of instrumental Disco Music with a "slowed down dub mix" that transforms the track "Radium One" into a cosmic weapon for sleeping dance floors out there.

It had been since the DJ Qu remix of Walt J that we did something on our subdivision Petite. You know, this is where we like to re-release those forgotten pearls, with a new remix on the flip. This time we chose for "On And On" by Italian-living-in-Scandinavia Raiders Of The Lost ARP. In 2003 "On And On" appeared as the D2 track on his album "4". But we thought this track is so great, it deserved a full A-side. On remix duties this time someone we've been wanting to work with since a long time, Patrice Scott. We've been following his Sistrum label since the very first release, and he just never disappoints. Neither does he this time. Check it out! 

release date: 19th of December 2011

Exclusive: Volker.live - My Love Will Set You Free (Lucky Charmz  Remix)

Hamburg 'boy band' Volker.live release their last EP ever. The trio's final act takes one back to the summer of 2019 when they decided to rock and perform on stages around the globe. The highlight of their sets and creative on-stage being always was My Love Will Set You Free, an uplifting homage to electronic music, namely to House with an Acid-note paired with melancholic almost nostalgic-sounding vocals by the trio's friend ÆN. With an as catchy track as My Love Will Set You Free is the release of an EP took shape as several artists wanted to take on remix duties right away. One of them was Berliner Lucky Charmz, who emphasizes the Acid or rather saying the trippy amount of sounds of the track but still keeping the track's disco-ish note. With a total length of almost 10 minutes Lucky Charmz builds up an intriguing groove with even more inspiring synth-lines, which in the end conglomerate to a homogenous summer-ish trippy version, one wishes to hear during the none-existing festival season of summer 2020. 

Volker.live's EP My Love Will Set You Free is already released on vinyl already, digital will follow on Mireia Records on May 29th, 2020.
