Between earthy livesets and albums rich in influences and musicality (as Dring, their fourth album, came to remind us of that last year), we would have almost forgotten that Nôze(Nicolas Sfintescu and Ezéchiel Pailhes) could also give to the feverish mix. Well-judged then from M.A.N.D.Y., Get Physicalbosses and Body Languagecompilation investigators, who asked Nico, the DJ from the duo, to take a close look at the eleventh opus of this cult series which already hosted some very gifted artists. After Dj T., Jesse Rose, Dixon, Château Flight, Junior Boys, Matthew Dear, Modeselektor, Dj Hell and M.A.N.D.Y. twice, it is now the turn of the co-creator of the appealing ‘When Tiger Smoked’ and ‘Kitchen’ (and co-founder of Parisian label Circus Company) to make our eager bodies sweat. The result: an almost 75 minute eclectic love declaration where most of the musical obsessions of the...[ read on ]

Lemongrass is back! On time with the beginning of the summer mastermind Roland Voss endows us with a new longplayer. Fittingly he named the album "Papillon", which is the French word for butterfly. And likewise butterflies flutter the 14 songs in weightless buoyancy through 70 minutes playing time. An album made for a joyful summer day full of bright colours and positivity, radiating the zest of life. "Papillon" slides through the world of Lounge Couture without even touching the banality of plagiarism and clichés. Stylistically versatile with a pinch of Swing & Jazz, a sprinkle of Latin and a garnish of Groove and even Deep House, Roland Voss manages to keep the balance between rhythmic, uplifting tracks and cinematic moods of Chillout & Ambient pieces for daydreaming and relaxation. Follow trustfully the Lemongrass guidance, you will remain poised and fascinated throughout. A...[ read on ]

Fool, the “tongue in cheek” self-ironic entitled third album, is another tour de force in Kasper Bjørke’s signature production style – this time wrapped up as a concept album. The versatile Copenhagen producer and DJ follows up on his successful sophomore solo album from 2010 “Standing on top of Utopia” that reached high acclaim from the international press and indie blogosphere: “Kasper Bjørkes music is heartfelt, soulful and will make you dance” (Nylon Mag.) “Each track is a bang on the Krona” (Dazed & Confused) ‘Kasper Bjørke could become one of the year’s biggest indie-dance crossover success stories. Keep an eye on him” (Beatportal) „Wherever that Utopia is, just hope Bjørke hangs out there a while longer — it seems to suit him…“ (Time Out NYC) Like a vinyl record, the track list has been split into two sides: The pop infused vocal-based bittersweet love songs...[ read on ]

When it comes to house music there’s been something of a renaissance in New York City these past few years, and one of its main advocates is Levon Vincent. Born in Houston, Texas and raised on the East Coast; he now calls Berlin his home. As a club-goer, he cut his teeth during the pre-Giuliani New York heyday, where a vibrant scene was helping to push the elegant sound that would become known as NY house forward - and Levon witnessed it all first-hand. Working his way up through landmarks like Sugar Reef (of Sugar Babies fame) or Pat Field’s Boutique, and record stores such as Kim's, Tower, and Music Exchange, Levon joined a long, proud lineage of fringe arts based around New York's downtown culture. Ten years later, in 2001, he began to work at the legendary Halcyon record shop in Brooklyn. Halcyon, which doubled as a café, was more than just a record store - it was a place where...[ read on ]

Tiga and Zombie Nation have joined forces to create the most potent dance record of the year. Apocalyptic tension. Panic-fueled fundowns. 2012 is approaching. THE HEAT IS NOW – PARTYS OVER EARTH! Having both rocked remarkably long and prolific careers, the members of ZZT possess uncanny staying power in an industry where hype ends faster than it begins. Zombie Nation's production credentials are impeccable, and his reputation as a live performer has made him a permanent fixture on Europe's main stages. Meanwhile, Tiga's vocal hooks, sampling know-how-to, DJ sets and impressive work as a label boss have all kept him perched atop the electro-pyramid. These are two major players in the indie-dance world, but together, they are something else entirely. ZZT first established themselves as Paradigm Wreckas back in 2007 with 'Lower State of Consciousness,' upping the ante on how...[ read on ]

Kasra Mowlavi has a reputation for possessing impeccable taste. His Critical Music label has been home to some of the most forward thinking drum & bass since the label’s inception back in 2002, and Mowlavi continues to stretch any tired expectations of the genre by housing work from esteemed new school producers like Rockwell, Sabre, Foreign Concept and Enei. A full circle progression from early releases by Calibre, Breakage and Icicle, it’s a testament to Kasra’s outlook that Critical’s integrity remains unblemished after ten years of releasing music. It hasn’t ever waned or deviated from its original goal of releasing quality drum & bass, properly and without compromise; and that’s something he’s constantly projected - in three compilations he’s compiled on Critical to date and throughout the tracklisting that makes up FABRICLIVE 62. "I wanted to put together a mix that was...[ read on ]

After a few 12″ releases on Kompakt, Sportclub and Spielzeug it was time for Axel Bartsch to produce his first soloalbum. Axel Bartsch was searching for a suitable record label wich put him in the position to produce his album even-handed and without any ulterior motives of a top selling 12″ record. For Axel Bartsch it solely was essential to have the best possible artistic conditions for his album production and Karmarouge gave him the oppurtunity to do it his way. As many brilliant ideas he took the final decision to name his album on the loo while reading an interview about Michael Mayers last album release. Axel Bartschs idea for the album titel comes out of his passion about music, because music is like kissing, highly emotional and sensual, the feeling of approaching lips…KISS…like kissed by music. 01. Intro Axel Bartsch was simply in the mood to have an intro on his...[ read on ]

Hi everybody, we are very happy to invite for the new TIME IS NOW Luca Mortello aka Lucy. Lucy aka Luca Mortellaro was born in Palermo, Italy, creating a name for himself as an underground artist in Italy. These early tracks drew the attention of renowned artists including James Holden. Luca is a king of genious musician, far from the fashion rules, far from the loopy rules of the moment. It's not that the new fashion is so bad, but the luca's music is just magic. For this opus, Luca gave uf two awesome tracks. "Bomblin", a true poem, with its floating guitar and synths. All in a strong beat. "i need you" is a pure techno track like Lucy perfectly knows how to do it. We call three remixers for this great package.
