Weeding through something unremarkable to find the one little gem to turn over and over again is kind of a talent. Lots of people try to do it, of course, but it takes a special artistic mind to spot one tiny glint on a huge ocean and head towards it. Blah blah blah metaphors. "So Weit Wie Noch Nie" is the kind of genius that puts the shut up in anyone trying to argue that sampling isn't an art (if any of those people still exist). He takes a pretty corny song from 1971 (I don't [...]
currently, i am in the warmth that is mexico! have been travelling around here for roughly a three weeks now and i have a lot more to explore! before that, as y'all might know, i was at burning man and made a west coast to east coast roadtrip out of it...camping in as many national parks as possible, being with nature, doing amazing hikes, and reconnecting. since my first burn, my music expansion became exponential. the new music i was listening to was an integral part of my travels in america too...a lot of music in this mixtape i was [...]
De eerste maand van het jaar zit er weer op. Januari is doorgaans niet de meest blije maand van het jaar, maar toch hebben er een aantal releases het daglicht gezien die mij aardig wisten op te vrolijken. Naast het experimentele geneuzel van Ignatz en Richard Youngs (zie voorgaande berichten) kwamen bijvoorbeeld The Decemberists met een terugkeer naar de "roots" op het album The King Is Dead . Schijnbaar beïnvloed door het bluegrass zij-project Black Prairie en de achteraf matige ontvangst van de overdreven rockopera The Hazards Of Love [...]
![Jürgen Paape - Kompilation [Album] (2011)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3163339_lg.jpg)
Jürgen Paape, curioso este alemán, fundador del sello Lifeline Records, y co-fundador de Kompakt (junto a Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer), y difícil de definir a este artista que lleva editando (de manera muy tranquila) desde 1997, y que nunca ha hecho un directo, ni sesión de DJ, ni prácticamente hay fotos suyas, ni concede entrevistas, simplemente que la música que él hace lo diga todo, y que después de más de 10 años en la música, edito en diciembre pasado y en edición muy limitada (500 CD) su primer álbum!!!!!, un recopilatorio de su carrera, y en enero se ha [...]
Aeroplane , главное действующее лицо nu disco революции, не отходя от станка, стругающего ремиксы, записал микс для миксмага. Эта серия миксов как всегда на передовой музыкальных вкусов. Именно с миксов Erol Alkan и Annie Mac началась для меня эпидемия nu rave добрых 3 года назад. Немного об Аэроплане от них самих: Vito: Мы начали 5 лет назад, у меня был свой музыкальный магазин в Бельгии в то время. Я уже тогда продолжительное время музыку писал, играл на фортепиано и других инструментах. И когда мы встретились, [...]
Weird one this. Brit-pack artist Sam Taylor-Wood is set to release a cover of The Passions' new-wave anthem 'I'm In Love With A German Film Star' on Cologne's mighty Kompakt Records. Produced by The Pet Shop boys (who, alongside Gui Boratto, Jurgen Paape and Mark Reeder, also offer a remix) this could promise to be quite a surprise...
I walked from one end of Kells to the other after twelve tonight. While I may have undertaken this journey about ten thousand times, I very rarely do it sober. Apparently nobody else does either. I was followed home at a distance of about 10 yards by a bandy legged dude eating curry chips. The night was so balmy and still that I could smell the curry at that distance. He was singing that rotten, monotonous Fratellis bum chunder-fest to himself, the one that goes 'derp derpee derp derpee derpee derp', except in a slurry Kells accent so there were [...]

Ca fait un moment que je cherchais ce vieux titre et je me suis dit que ça pourrait en intéresser quelques un(e)s ici. En 2001 Jurgen Paape, le co-fondeur du label Kompakt sort un single deep house merveilleux, "So weit wir noch nie" qui aura une seconde vie deux ans plus tard sur le DJ Kicks d'Erlend Oye. La voix que l'on entend tout au long du titre n'est pas celle d'une interprète actuelle mais un sample d'un morceau de Dahlia Lavi, une actrice Israélienne qui a été James Bond Girl dans le premier [...]
Substance & Vainqueur, "Reverberation" [Scion Versions] Jürgen Paape, "Take That" [Kompakt] Ben Klock, "Czeslawa" [Ostgut Tonträger] Throbbing Gristle, "Still Walking" (Carl Craig Re-Version) [NovaMute]
Todays post is a product of me buying the grade A+++ yearly kompilation by German minimal label Kompakt - The label that can do no wrong. Masters of taking the smallest piece of 'klick klick' and making it sound like a beautiful construction of crystals in the best none new-age meaning that can be thought about. Seriously though this is one of the record companies that you should be able to namedrop and at least have some rudimentary knowledge of - You might not even be a fan of techno, but you simply cannot deny the quality in [...]
