Dub music has been in heart since I was a pup. I was first introduced to the sound in the mid 90's when I discovered The Orb . Their slow moving hypnotic soundscapes drew me in immediately. Dub basically strips out all fluff in music & leaves the straight rhythmic goods. It also carries the same raw vitality and attitude that punk has without the all the high end. This is probably why so many English rockers in the late 1970's gravitated towards the sound. Basically dub is the result of re-engineering a previously recorded track. The [...]
My guilty pleasure this week is Klezmer music. Remixed. Heck, let's just call it electro-klezmer, and hope we don't go to hell for the sacrilege. I would explain my love of all things Jewish big-band (possibly inspired by an afternoon spent watching fiddler on the roof in school)...but suffice to say that whatever wholesome goodness klezmer can bring, it's awesomeness runneth over when given a good old baseline. Witness the 1930s Yiddish song Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, performed by Waldeck (look out for the evening-gowned women playing xylophone, was there ever a simpler [...]

Song Waldeck ~ " Why Did We Fire the Gun " mp3 download (via triplejaysus ) Rainy Days put me in the mood to hear some downtempo brushes on a snare. Waldeck is out of Vienna, Austria and the sound is like Zero 7 and the Thievery Corporation started recording a song for a 70's Bond film. Klaus Waldeck's got skills, and the voice on the song is Joy Malcolm . [...]
The Entertainment Klaus. Anyone remember Klaus Waldeck ? Last we heard from him was back in 2001 with the release of " The Night Garden " (E-Imagine Records), preceded by the "This Isn't Maybe EP" in 2000. Though those releases admittedly left me cold (I prefer his 1998 debut), it did establish Waldeck as a A-list trip hop act. Then he went and disappeared for 6 years, making the world wonder if he'd had enough of the game. Whatever [...]

It's Tuesday, which means it's contrast podcast day, and this week the musicians themselves took over the episode, introducing their songs in their own inimitable ways. Check it out here . Next week's theme is "Random Shuffle," which means you set your ipod to shuffle and the first song that comes up is your pick. I shouldn't have too hard a time with that, now should I? Neither should you, so give it a try. And no fixing or futzing. Whatever comes [...]
Waldeck - Ballroom Stories Klaus Waldeck is one of the original purveyors of the Vienna Sound . Together with the likes of Kruder & Dorfmeister , Tosca and Madrid del los Austrias (snigger snigger) he took the world by storm with a unique blend of nujazz downtempo beats. Waldeck is back with Ballroom Stories , and it's a doozey. Waldeck guides us through jazz and swing, with hints of Tom [...]
One of Austria's finest nujazz/downtempo artists and a member of the original Vienna sound alongside Kruder & Dorfmeister. Klaus Waldeck has released a new album after 2001's The Night Garden. The opener track " Make my day " was released last year as a single and was drafted for a Mercedes ad, so it might be familiar to you. "Ballroom Stories" satisfies the building anticipation with a topnotch album that has many unnoticable influences like 20's jazz & swing, tango, noir films, electro, waltzes. Armed with the singing & songwriting power of Zeebee and Joy [...]
