repress

Kalabrese rockt mit "Dancing In The Dark" nach vorne und lässt einen fetten Juno-Sound über die ganze Länge des Stückes Wellen schlagen und findet einen dynamischen smarten Weg seine Geschichte voller Trauer und Power im ravig housigen Gewand zu erzählen. Hier passt alles zusammen und wir freuen uns, wenn alle Küchen und Dancefloors pumpen, denn Kalabrese teilt mit Euch den Rave, den House und den Schmerz. "I Keep rockin' with my honest emotions, music is the only friend for my pain in this moment". Kala is your friend, and let the groove pumpin' loud!

HOT REPRESS !!!

Kalabrese is a curious tastemaker and bold musical force that dares to tread the murky waters between indie and electronica, playfully emphasising vocals on song based productions and presenting an album that pushes the limits and portrays dance music in a peculiar and natural way. Inspired by blues, funk, and all those beautiful dancers and tragic heroes of the night, 'Independent Dancer' is laced with curiosity and fever inducing productions.

Six years on from his 2007 debut album 'Rumpelzirkus', a critically acclaimed project that was pursued by performances at infamous festivals like Sonar, Mutek in Montreal and Transmediale in Berlin as well as playing nearly every club basement in Europe with his live-project "Rumpelorchester", Sascha Winkler AKA Kalabrese returns with a masterpiece.

Sounding like a soundtrack from James Murphy (in fact Kalabrese played back to back with the LCD Soundsystem lead man in 2012) and Nicolas Jaar, who featured his epic blues solo 'Desperate Man' on his own Resident-Advisor podcast, 'Independent Dancer' commences with an almost euphoric and certainly unpretentious spirit. 'Purple Rose' steps out downbeat with Sarah Palin, the newest Rumpel discovery, singing an astonishing duet with Kala, an almost country-like creation with ringing bells from the Alps and a hypnotic house beat crashing behind. Kalabrese recruits friend and mentor, A.C.
