"Flugrost" refers to incipient corrosion of iron or steel.
The term "Flugrost" goes back to fine iron dusts that rust in the air and settle on objects. Metal parts in the vicinity of the dust source look rusted, although only the surface is covered with rust dust. To remove rust, simply wipe off the dust.

We're thrilled to present you Flugrost EP by german duo Kaminski & Meissner! Flugrost comes, as its name might suggest, with solid electronic beats and cranky fleeting spheres of sound. While Tharab lets you escape into high realms with its consistent dopeness, Bibimbab brings you back down to earth with its earthing rocky sound. Taking off and landing reflected in these 2 timeless downtempo tracks and it's amazing melange of 4 Remixes by Tim Tenckhoff, Danger Dave, San Miguel and Oilst & Ben Jarli.

Bibimbab was taken up by Tim Tenckhoff, who gave the song a clear, crispy-rough atmosphere. Danger Dave created his Bong Voyage version of Tharab, which is full of dopeness and sweetly mists the listener into the sound. San Miguel's Traveling Remix comes along with a lot of momentum and deepness, inviting to crash the dance floor. Oilst & Ben Jarli weaved their remix with distinctive groove and solid dreaminess.

Get ready for take off!

It is only natural and consistent for Pete Josef to release his debut album on Berlin based label Sonar Kollektiv, since it is the very same imprint he has been featured on in numerous productions over the last three years – as a singer and as a songwriter.  The close link with Sonar Kollektiv took it's course when in autumn 2012 label manager Oliver Glage signed “Make It Good” by The White Lamp (Josef's project together with Ex-Underworld member Darren Emerson), for the label.  From there, he has made contributions to Alex Barck's album “Reunion”, to tracks with Paskal & Urban Absolutes and Marlow, and to “Broken Connection” off the debut album by ComixXx released just recently.  

The young Brit, inspired over the years by such collaborations, and socialized in the lively Bristol scene, has come up with an 11-track strong masterpiece of modern pop music.  In the opening track, “Spring At Last”, he and singer Marie Lister, accompanied by Justin “Captain” Fellow's industrious drumming and a host of Bristol String and Horn players, praise the thrill of anticipation of all the things to come.  For instance, a powerful pinch of dance grooves and soul/Jazz elements – always connected to the here and now without making any retro references at any point along the course.

“Mistress”, with screaming guitars and yet more powerful horn arrangements, reminiscent of Donny Hathaway’s “Voices Inside”, could almost be a new Stevie Wonder record.  In “Move On” Josef's Jazzpop turns Country-Ska, most notably thanks to his West African style claw-hammer guitar playing and some inspired drumming from Greg Freeman.  And on “Night Gospel” it is the piano that surfaces, over a lilting programmed, club-compliant beat.  Variety is guaranteed in every respect.. “Live Your Life” is a downright Afro-Jazz anthem complete with scat singing, off-beat double bass from Roshan ‘Tosh’ Wijetunge, and the mantra-like repeated chorus: “live your life, live it well”.  Whilst the Neo-Soul ambience of Running in series and Many Signs lament lost and broken love, new love is later expressed clearly as Josef carols.. “feeling the new; feeling cupids smile descend” on the buoyant, summery “Something Good”. 

The production of “The Travelling Song” has just a hint of the legendary Steely Dan productions, albeit with a modern almost hip-hop slant, and builds to put the listener into a firmly euphoric space with a Samba-funk rhythm section crafted by the virtuoso percussionist Rory Francis.  In short, “Colour” is every shade of the rainbow, from bright light, to contemplative dark.  “Hope” has all the colours in one, with lyrical positivity set against almost mournful Afrobeat ballad accompanied.  It is a setting of the poem by Emily Dickinson (“hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul”), and features a glorious improvised solo by free-Jazz trumpeter, Nick Malcolm; in which he virtually embodies the bird described in the verse through his fluttering expressive melodies.  In closing, as the album's finale, we are treated to the title track “Colour” ..and it is here where Pete Josef reveals where much of his inspiration, his optimism and his balance of mind springs from: it is his love of nature, in all it’s wondrous colour that is subtly expressed throughout his music.  Therefore not only the song “Colour”, but the whole album is de facto an ode to nature, together with the shades of emotion we all experience in our lives.  No surprise here then that Mr. Josef recently settled in a cottage in rural Somerset amid forests, meadows, and close to the natural world he loves so much.
