That's how long it can take when you want to avoid haste making waste. After a seven-year hiatus Sonar Kollektiv finally releases the third edition of the 2007 installed compilation series “Computer Incarnations For World Peace”. The first two, celebrated episodes had been co-selected by Gerd Janson (Running Back). Now Sonar Kollektiv's A&R manager and Jazzanova DJ Alex Barck takes care of business all on his own, picking thirteen songs out off his immense record collection – which in this order and combination unquestionably live up to the high expectations towards the third part of “Computer Incarnations For World Peace” and beyond.

To start things off we get one of Barck's undisputed favorites, “Caught” from 1986 by Tokyo born singer Anna Domino. And not only this song but all of the following twelve tracks have a strong atmospheric and sonic connection to the eponymous classic by Jean-Luc Ponty (“Computer Incantations For World Peace”). For example, “Night Flight” by German sound engineer and producer Walter Quintus is excellent feelgood jazz funk from the late eighties as well as the cosmic synth monster “Swiftness” by Georges Rodi and Dave Sarkys from 1979. For quite some time now “Airport Of Love” by French studio project Love International is an integral part of any DJ set that ranges somewhere between Balearic and Cosmic. Not assignable to any genre though is Brenda & The Beach Balls' “Theme From A Tall Dark Stranger” off their first EP from 1986. But that's exactly what sets “Computer Incarnations For World Peace” apart from other compilation series: A complexity of all different styles, musical eras and connections to a whole lot of scenes, but – if played in the right order – has a well-knit common thread and takes us on a journey through space and time. A trip with a quick detour to Japan and its quite flourishing Minimal Music scene in the early 80's (Mkwaju Ensemble), but always returns to good old Germany. For example with “Sol Y Sombra” by Amanita from 1978, or Obalki's “Lobos Point”, which came out last year on Public Possession, as well as “Bewegliche Ziele” by Plaza Hotel featuring Jaki Liebezeit on drums; a track acknowledged with a wonderful reissue on Notes On A Journey. And finally we also get a little glimpse of the future via “Altona” by the Tuff City Kids. This is one of the tracks, that could be on the long awaited debut album by the long enduring remix project by Gerd Janson and Philipp Lauer to be released on Permanent Vacation. And when Barck pays tribute to his former compilation ally he's also allowed to throw one of his own tracks into the mix. 

One of the first tracks by Jazzanova, “Introspection” still sounds surprisingly fresh and scrupulous timeless to this day. 

One can almost claim that it was a good thing that Barck (and Sonar Kollektiv) took his time and now can proudly serve us his best matured and well-tested gems out of his collection. Bottoms up!

Dexter Story ft. Kamasi Washington
Wejene Aola
Orignally Sung by Tilahun Gessesse
Lyrics by Ayele Mammo
Music by Tesfaye Lemessa
Release date: 30.09.16
For his next release on Soundway Records, Los Angeles-based Dexter Story hooks up with long time friend and compatriot of music, the saxophonist, jazz composer, producer and band-leader Kamasi Washington. A fierce, rumbling electro Ethio-Funk groove provides the platform for an intense and powerful interplay between Washington on tenor sax and Todd Simon on trumpet. 

An instrumental cover version of Tilahun Gessesse's 1970s cut of the same name, it's Story's homage to the oppressed Oromo people of Southern Ethiopia. Backed on the flip by the one cut from Story's 'Wondem' long-player that did not make it to vinyl when the LP version was cut, Nia Andrew's sublime and atmospheric collaboration on Eastern Prayer will keep all those happy who grumbled at it's exclusion from wax first time around. 

This is a record that no lover of Ethio-Jazz, Afro-Beat or Funk should be excused for not owning.

"FRENCH CASSETTE" - new LP OUT NOW ! 
Bandcamp: https://souleance.bandcamp.com/album/french-cassette
Itunes/Spotify: https://kud.li/fw189

First Word Records is proud to present a new full-length project from Souleance ! Following on from 2013’s acclaimed "La Beat Tape", the Parisian duo return for 2019 with "French Cassette".
As well as the recent single "François / Sète" (both included), we have 25 new tracks dedicated to all things Français. This mixtape opus is a true labour of love; A French voyage through time and genres, as Soulist and FULGEANCE like to do. Each track is purposefully named after various French clichés; characteristics, phrases and places. You’ll excuse our French, and check those out for yourselves..
"French Cassette" is comprised of an array of noises from various French composers; from boogie, to jazz, to sound libraries, to chansons. Cinematically sultry sounds, with a lot of funk; where Brigitte Fontaine meets François de Roubaix in a back alley somewhere near the film set of "Calmos", whilst pumping out the soundtrack to La Haine. 
A little moody, a little sexy, a little rough around the edges.
Whilst the film noir-esque interludes accentuate the theme, Souleance’s unmistakable grooves ride throughout, with a symphony of synths and scratches, beats and basslines. This is undeniably, unashamedly a celebration. Boom bap and breaks, all flavoured with a healthy layer of “je ne sais quoi”.
The first single received love from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazzanova, Huey Morgan, Bill Brewster, Kev Beadle, Hector Plimmer, Red Rack'em (Rinse FM), Thristian (Worldwide FM) and Chris P Cuts (NTS). Meanwhile, the duo recently spun special sessions for Laid Back and Le Mellotron, as well as their numerous DJ sets and live shows across Europe, and recently self-releasing another mixtape tribute, dedicated to the late great Galt McDermot, and featured on Okayplayer & Radio Nova. The Souleance saga continues. Vive la France!!
"French Cassette" will be available on limited edition cassette & on all digital platforms.

ELECTRONICO is an electronic music duo 
formed in Brussels in 2019 by Nicolas Elbo & Petia Staneva​​​​​​​


Biography of Nicolas Elbo

Born in Brussels, Nicolas is rocked by music since his childhood (his mother is a dance teacher). His adolescence is marked by the electronic musics he listens to in clubs and festivals in Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Liege. Nicolas spends his nights compiling the most innovative artists in eclectic playlists: house, techno, electronica, intelligent dance music, drum and bass, nu jazz, trip hop or psytrance. Soon, he started as an amateur DJ for private parties.

In 2014 Nicolas meets Petia Staneva, a Bulgarian violinist and singer who settled in Brussels. He follows her during her performances and starts his career as a professional DJ mixing for weddings, celebrations and corporate cocktails.

In 2018, in order to convince his partner to engage in music production with him, he released two first EPs under the pseudonym ELECTRONICO. Self-produced, Nicolas is introduced to the music industry and creates a network for its own promotion on the internet.

In 2019, Nicolas participates in contests and remixes internationally renowned artists. He collaborates with a French lyricist, Jérôme Attal, and puts to music one of his poems. With these experiences, Nicolas reaches a certain maturity and is joined by Petia with whom he is now preparing the continuation of the adventure of ELECTRONICO in duet.


Biography of Petia Staneva

Petia started playing the violin at the age of 7 and graduated from the Conservatory of Sofia in Bulgaria. She then studied for one year at the Conservatory of Turin in Italy to become concertmaster. After graduating, Petia was awarded the position of principal violin in the "First Private Orchestra of Bulgaria".

In 1994, Petia had the opportunity to sign a contract with Hilton, Sheraton & Conrad: three of the most prestigious hotels in Brussels, Belgium. In a few years, she created a repertoire covering a wide range of genres, from classics to contemporary pop music. This allowed her to start an independent career based on a unique act of virtuoso violin.

Today, in addition to playing the violin, Petia also sings. She works now with the best companies and event organisers from Belgium, France and the Netherlands. Petia often appears on stage as an opening act for famous Belgian artists such as Dana Winner, Axell Red, Will Tura, Salvatore Adamo, Johan Verminnen, Bart Herman, Gary Hagger, Jean Bosco Safari, Coco Jr., etc. She also works for exclusive events such as Miss Belgium, Miss Belgian Beauty, Night of Exclusive, La Strada Fashion Show, Eccentric, Xenses and many more.

ELECTRONICO will be a new duo adventure in her beautiful career.
