Jazzanova - Upside Down Sonar Kollektiv: 2012 My parents have massive amounts of soul. Don't let my dad's fanny pack fool you; I'm two weeks removed from seeing them dance to Beyonce and Biggie in a Vegas nightclub (sorry jefe , that story isn't staying in Vegas). My mom named her canary after Bootsy Collins. My dad had the trillest Mexican afro in high school. Yet for all their swag, they listened to Kenny G when I was growing up. Maybe it was to counteract whatever thuggish influences 2pac had [...]

There is a time and a place for remixes. This isn't one of them. 'Remixes' sounded half like a GCSE music technology coursework and half like the backing music from the pause menu on a generic racing game. For tracks that are supposed, and indeed are individual interpretations they all sound creepily similar. Nu-Jazz is precarious at the best of times but these have been remixed to the point where it offers nothing new, which is the very point of doing a remix in the first place; to create something that sounds [...]

I found DJ Daigo on Soundcloud and am glad I did. His music is really cool. Here are some of my faves from the Sydney, Australia DJ. Enjoy.

2011 was a good year for dance music, but 2012 looks like an even better one. A plethora of dance/electronic releases are on the horizon — everything from albums and mix compilations by up-and-coming artists to full-lengths and compendiums by acts with proven track records. We've been meticulously sorting through our promos and listening to streams in order to gauge the upcoming crop of albums. So far, we really like what we've been hearing, and there seems to be plenty of musical diversity and fresh ideas. Here's a list of 75 releases that every dance/electronic music fan should have on their [...]
Jazzanova | Another New Day

Usually when I see a track that's been remixed and then re-edited, I shudder a bit because of the old "too many cooks spoil the soup" adage (or my own modern, less catchy incarnation: "too many re-edits ruin the spirit and ingenuity of the original production"). HOWEVER, that's definitely not the case here, perhaps because Jazzanova's original productions have never sucked me in. I chart it to the fact that their name sounds like a soft classics radio channel? Regardless, messy haired Danilo Plessow, brainchild of Motor City Drum Ensemble is maybe [...]

German dance floor legends Jazzanova usher in 2012 with a nifty remix package. Picking up where 20032s Remixed left off, Upside Down features re-rubs from the past eight years. Even better is that it's an international affair as the remix set features fellow Berliner Henrik Schwarz, Ye:Solar and Âme to Atjazz and Mr. Scruff from the UK, Motor City Drum Ensemble from Cologne, Glasgow's Midnight Mauraders and Soldiers Of House from Pretoria (South Africa) in the mix. Here's a great remix of "Look What You're Doin' To Me" remixed by the aforementioned Motor [...]

Es dürfte kaum an Jemanden vorbeigegangen sein - das GRETCHEN öffnet am 01.10. seine Pforten! Die Schwester des ICONs freut sich zur großen Einweihungsparty einladen zu dürfen. Gratulanten gibt es Genüge. Neben Busy P und den Sexinvaders werden auch Jazzanova , Krazy Baldhead und viele weitere DJs gerne ein Eröffnungsliedchen abspielen. Letzterer ließ verkünden, dass sein zweites Album kurz vor der Fertigstellung steht. Gut möglich, dass GRETCHEN-Besucher erstmalig in den Genuss von Hörproben des Nachfolgers von "The B-Suite" kommen könnten. Und so selten, wie [...]

Ich hab es im Post zum Icon bereits erwähnt, aber die meisten wussten es sicher schon vorher. Das Gretchen wird am 01.10.2011 eröffnet. Wer sich beim Gretchen noch unsicher ist, dem sei gesagt: Es ist von...
GRETCHEN steht für Reinheit, Ehrlichkeit und Unschuld. Gleichzeitig ist sie für Faust Objekt der Begierde. GRETCHEN ist aber auch die vielleicht brutalste Serienkillerin in der modernen Literatur. Straight sind am Ende beide… Am Samstag, den 01.10.2011 öffnet GRETCHEN zum ersten Mal die Türen. Mitten in Kreuzberg, in den ehemaligen Stallungen des preußischen 1. Garde-Dragoner-Regiments Königin Victoria von Großbritannien und Irland von 1854, präsentiert sich GRETCHEN in historischem Charme gepaart mit coolem Clubdesign. GRETCHENs Programm als (Live-)Club spiegelt die Vielschichtigkeit der aktuellen musikalischen Strömungen wider. Von Elektro, Electronica, House, Dubstep über IDM, Glitch, Experimental, Avantgarde bis hin [...]

The Foreign Exchange - Dear Friends: An Evening With The Foreign Exchange FE+ Music: 2011 What began as a side project for Little Brother emcee Phonte has morphed into the focus of his music career. Phonte and Nicolay as The Foreign Exchange debuted seven years ago during a very short lived revival of Native Tongue-isms with their praised conscious lounge set Connected. Four years later FE alienated many of that fan base as they transformed into a full blown contemporary adult R&B act and gained a whole new audience. [...]

David Vangel's debut LP for Equinox Records is titled 'Breadth Control' and is being released on May 20th. From what I have heard so far of the album, it is going to be mind blowing. People that like DJ Shadow are going to dig David Vangel. Intricate drum programming and layers and layers of depth. from the press release :: "Breadth Control", the debut full length from David Vangel (formerly Vangel), is a mind altering affair loaded with emotive melodies, explosive dynamics, and savage gauntlets of fierce drum programming. Raising [...]

Vanmorgen heb ik op mijn iPad 'Discovr' geinstalleerd. Nu installeer ik wel vaker wat, en het meeste blijft na een week ongebruikt op de desktop staan. Maar Discovr zou wel eens een blijvertje kunnen worden. Het is simpel, intuitief en effectief. Je typt een artiestennaam in en je krijgt een netwerk aan verwante artiesten te zien en horen. Na tien minuten stuitte ik al op een heerlijk nummer. So Good Today van Ben Westbeech. Deze Britse zanger/producer zong al bij verschillende projecten, zoals Jazzanova en Kraak & Smaak. Maar ook zijn solomateriaal is lekker jazzy en funky. En goedgekeurd door [...]

![[Acid Jazz] Prommer & Barck – Sleeping Beauty](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3343050_lg.jpg)
The production team of Christian Prommer & Alexander Barck came together with a dual vision & a single purpose: to break free of their oneness. Barck's experience as member of Jazzanova and Prommer's excellent reputation as both producer & DJ had each seeking a different course, fashioning songs out of their shared archival love of varying musical styles (Rave, Jazz, Krautrock, Garage, Detroit, House, Hip-Hop, Disco, Folk, Dubstep, Electronica, Funk, Punk, Wave, Chicago House, handmade music and Soul) to create something unique and new. Breaking through genres, they [...]
![[EXCLUSIEF] Flashman DJ Mix](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3233533_lg.jpg)
Na het mailtje van twee weken terug waardoor ik over Flashman blogde, heb ik contact gehouden met Marine, die de PR voor Flashman doet. Ze kwam niet veel later met het bericht dat ze een exclusieve DJ Mix (gemaakt door Fred Deakin) voor me had, en of ik geïnteresseerd was. Natuurlijk was ik dat! Hij heeft een selectie nummers die varieert van Funk tot Reggae tot Jazz tot New Wave aan elkaar gemixt. En hoe! De mix is gevarieerd, bijzonder en gooit je alle kanten op. Soms swingt het en soms is het gewoon lekkere chill-muziek. [...]
