Du fällst. Kein Boden. Kein Halt. Kontrollverlust. Aber ein warmes Gefühl im Bauch. Du fühlst die Energie von 1000 Schmetterlingen und umarmst den hellen Himmel. Glaubst du nicht? Musst du auch nicht, denn es ist eine Erfahrung – und sie ist das Gegenteil von einem Absturz. Du fällst. Kein Boden. Kein Halt. Kontrollverlust. Aber du schlägst nicht hart auf. Du fühlst dich schwerelos und stellst fest: I Fell in Love! Schöner kannst du nicht fallen, wenn du es schaffst, dich fallen zu lassen. Glaubst du immer noch nicht? Es ist keine Frage des Glaubens. Es ist eine Frage der Erkenntnis. Dafür braucht es Mut! Es ist der Blick über die Kante, der Sprung in die Tiefe, die Öffnung der Käfigtür deines Egos. Es ist die Hingabe deiner Selbst. Liebe ist kein Flugsimulator. Du begibst dich in den freien Fall und das bedeutet Risiko! Wer fängt dich auf? Es heißt, Liebe verleiht Flügel. Doch du selbst musst die Schwingen ausbreiten und auch in Bewegung halten! Gegenwind, Turbulenzen, Sturm. Wie stark sind deine Schwingen der Liebe? Finde es heraus! Die neue EP von Lisa von Mond gibt dir schon mal ordentlich Aufwind und die Remixe von ple:xy und Lukas Endhardt verleihen dir zusätzlich Schub! Die gute Nachricht: Du bist nicht allein! Meeronauten Musik ist allerbeste Flugbegleitung! Dann die
Paul Murphys Claremont 56 label welcomes a genuine legend of UK music to its roster - Chaz Jankel, the man whose dizzying musicality and love of soul, funk and disco did much to shape the sound of Ian Durys Blockheads band in the late 1970s and early 80s. A virtuoso keyboardist with a deep love of Black American music, Jankels arrangements and compositional skills were key to the success of their records, the funkiest of which not only became crossover pop hits - see Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and Reasons To be Cheerful, Part 3 in particular - but also saw heavy rotation in now iconic New York clubs including the Paradise Garage and Studio 54. This continued during the formative years of his solo career, with My Occupation, Questionnaire and Glad To Know You (later famously re-edited and dubbed out for nu-disco dancefloors by Todd Terje) all becoming club hits. The great Quincy Jones also covered Jankels infectious single Ai No Carrida, while experimental, club-ready synth-jam 3,000,000 Synths was also influential during the early years of the electro movement. For his Claremont 56 bow, Jankel has delivered an all-new workout recorded earlier this year, the simply titled Rhumba Jam. A typically warm, groovy and rolling affair, it features Jankel delivering infectious, stretched-out Rhodes electric piano solos over toasty bass, clipped guitar licks, warm bass, accordion-style synth motifs and a densely layered Rhumba rhythm. While relaxed and sun-soaked, it also has bags of Balearic dancefloor potential. Murphy remixes under his now familiar Mudd alias, leaning into the tracks languid Balearic vibe while keeping a firm focus on the dancefloor. Beginning with an enticing mix of metronomic drums and jangly acoustic guitars, Murphy slowly layers up key elements of Jankels original - think rubbery bass, rhythmic handclaps, mazy synth sounds and those wonderful, stretched-out solos. Its a version that pays due reverence to the quality of Jankels musicianship, production and arrangement while subtly extending it and reframing it for 21st century Balearic dancefloors.
Citizens of Vice proudly return with release number 60 a record thats been in the works for quite some time. This latest EP comes from Bali-based DJ/live outfit Gold Suite, marking a fresh shift in their sound and style. Well let Gold Suite tell you more about it below. These two tunes were written back in January, when after a busy December of night-time DJ gigs, we were really needing to sink our teeth into something other than house and disco in the January downtime. I started to get interested in 70s library music, loving the idea that these tunes were thrust into existence in a matter of hours, to then take on a new, long life as a fundamental part of something bigger. I had in my mind the idea of composing incidental music for a resort that was lost in time. Laura was learning to play the bass guitar at the time so we got to it. Analog Swell was recorded very quickly, originally with a drum machine that was later replaced with a mono drum kit. Coast Along came later, and was the first Gold Suite recording with vocals. This felt like a real turning point, as these simple compositions could suddenly become so much more evocative. Simple, no frills, and mixable if you really want to. We hope you enjoy them. Joey & Laura (Gold Suite) The EP will be released on Citizens Of Vice on Nov 7th and is completed with remixes from Idjut Boys Dan Tyler and Sheffields finest Yarni.
