[Live At Robert Johnson] Frankfurt producer Christian Beißwenger is a consummate team player. Since 2002 he's been half of several production duos, most fruitfully as Arto Mwambe with Phillip Lauer, but also as High Tide with Lukas Bacsoka, The Exile Missile with Philipp Lange, and most recently B.H.F.V. with Oliver Hafenbauer, manager of Live At Robert Johnson. Beißwenger's solo works appear more sporadically: his last CB Funk release, the sought-after Subway To Cologne 123 [...]

Arto Mwambes "Live At Robert Johnson" -CD ist seit ein paar Wochen erschienen. Wer jetzt auch noch in den Genuss eines DJ-Sets der beiden Frankfurter kommen möchte, der kann sich auf der Soundcloud-Seite von der von uns hiermit sehr ans Herz gelegten Podcast-Serie Roof FM einen großartigen Mix der beiden Bronotosaurus-Macher runterladen. Eine Stunde pure Slow-Motion-House-Goodness. Geht runter wie Öl und ist das beste Gegenmittel an so einem verregneten September-Tag. Nr. 33: Arto Mwambé (Brontosaurus) by ROOF.FM Tracklist: 01.

"Let me take you on a trip, just a simple journey a journey full filled with sounds and beats. One that will lead you down, way down to the underground." Celeda's immortal words on the Y2K house smash hit 'The Underground' sprung to mind as soon as this got going. Arto Mwambe takes you on a trip, through house history and his own production too. But no, this is not a retrospective but a brand new work that has the special house sound; the classic house sound that never dies. The sound that fuses Chicago, New [...]

Прошлые выходные прошли в мощнейшем алкогольном угаре под аккомпанимент сезонного микса Round Table Knights. В основном это нетривиальный, заковыристый хаус. Рекомендую. Round Table Kinghts - Summer Mix Sandra Nikaké – La Mauvaise Réputation (Blackjoy Instr Mix) Jarvis Cocker – You're My Eyes (Disco Song) (Pilooski Remix) (ysi) Ghostape – Your Eyes (Round Table Knights Remix) Who Made Who – Keep Me In My Plane (Dj Koze Hudson River Dub Mix) Wareika – Facing The Sun Stimming – After Eight Neuroxyde – Yebo Yebo (Neuroxyde From Berlin [...]

I thought it was about time I joined the 21st century and added the option of subscribing to the monthly mix as a podcast, something I've been meaning to do for a while. So, if you want, click here and you can have it sent to you automatically via whatever you prefer to use for that kind of thing (in most cases, iTunes). If you'd rather download it the old fashioned way, you can do that too. In line with this new paradigm, I have formally renamed the monthly mix to Urlaubshits Radio, though you probably shouldn't expect [...]

Various - (Based On Misunderstandings 3) [Sonar Kollektiv] (buy) The third release in the "Based On Misunderstandings" series on the Berlin Sonar Kollektiv imprint sees Arto Mwambé remixing Roland Appel's "Secrets" which is taken from his 2008 album Talk To Your Angel. And if you flip over you will find another remix from Arto Mwambé but this time they are remixing Lars Bartkuhn (a live jazz & classical music producer). Roland Appel's "Secrets" gets a deep new aged future jazz feel thats bursting with warm synth-lines & squelchy off-key basslines. It has a "live" feel but not an overpowering live feel which [...]

Chart courtesy of The Economist . 01. C.B. Funk, "Subway to Cologne" [ Story ] ( buy ) It didn't take long for the cloak of anonymity to be yanked off Story's inaugural release, but it's difficult to blame listeners for wanting to know its source. "Subway to Cologne" may be the best work yet from Christian Beißwenger, better known as C.B. Funk and recently revealed as half of the Arto Mwambe project. Transforming the droning sounds of public transport into a deep-house micro anthem, [...]
MATT NORDSTROM Lucky Drawls (Saved) 2008 Obscure galette sur un obscur label (Saved Records, 2 sorties au compteur). Je ne connais rien de Matt Nordstrom, a part qu'il a l'air de préparer un truc pour Dubsided si on croit ce qui est marqué sur son Myspace. C'est dark, ça groove bien (groove qui rappelle The Fix), bon certes [...]

Arto Mwambé - "Ouverture Antenne" EP [Brontosaurus] (buy) ( buy ) Who is Arto Mwambé? (Phillip Lauer) Is he really from Africa or is he in fact another Producer going under another alias (as some people are speculating he is). His myspace quote reads "Ya'll should know by now" is this referring to who he really is or is it referring to what his music is all about & what to expect ? Personally I'm not sure but whatever its referring too and whoever Arto Mwambé is, its a sure fact that his music speaks for itself. His latest [...]

Speaking of Africa, meet Arto Mwambé. He recently wrote an instant classic that he calls "Noh Ngamebo". I guess you'd call it house, but it has some unique touches, probably because Arto is from Burkina Faso. So what you'll hear are house and afro beats beneath a beautiful Christmassy chord progression on the piano. Simple! I've decided to post a slower edit that was on Fabrizio Mammarella's Telespazio mix (that's the mix we listened to during "fold the paper, draw a picture and write a phrase"). [...]

A sign of influence As much as I love Beatport, I rarely find myself trusting the playlists they hype or the people who binge on them. But sometimes you're really bored at work and Beatport slips you an email of staff recommendations; you just have to look. Among other things, label manager Dave suggested "Ombala Mbembo" by Arto Mwamb é . According to his Myspace , Mwamb é is from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and his latest release, "Mudhutma!" [...]
