TOTAL CONTINUOUS MIX

Multi instrumentalist Gregor Schwellenbach took 20 label classics and re-recorded them as chamber music. Comes in a 2xLP mediabook with 44 page booklet.


In 20 Jahren KOMPAKT ist so ziemlich niemandem langweilig geworden; stets wusste das Kölsche Label seinen Platz zwischen den Stühlen geographisch wie stilistisch zu behaupten. Das verdanken wir all jenen großartigen - und vor allem äußerst unterschiedlichen - Künstlern, welche ihren Weg in zwei aufregenden, manchmal aufreibenden, immer inspirierenden Dekaden zu uns gefunden haben. Aus dem Grenzland zwischem gefühltem Pop und fröhlicher Wissenschaft stößt nun auch der Kölner Multi-Instrumentalist GREGOR SCHWELLENBACH hinzu, der 20 Label-Klassiker aus dem Tanzgestein herausgelöst und sie unter kammermusikalischen Bedingungen neu eingespielt hat.

Die raffinierten Arrangements, die der studierte Komponist GREGOR SCHWELLENBACH für alles schreibt, was klingen kann, schmückten bis dato vor allem die Theater-, Film-, Funk- und Fernsehlandschaft. Nun hat der Herr über 1000 Instrumente eine populär-experimentale Expertise zum KOMPAKT'schen Repertoire erstellt und einige der sich dort zahlreich verbergenden elektronischen Evergreens radikal umgetopft. Nicht nur Liebhaber der musikalischen Synthese dürften sich verwundert die Ohren reiben, wenn landein, landaus eifrigst betanzte Technokracher wie etwa Voigt & Voigt's 'Vision 03' oder Mayer/Voigt's 'Unter Null' plötzlich als melancholische, beatbefreite Piano-Miniaturen das Frequenzspektrum umgarnen.

Dabei gehen dem Multitalent ebenso versierte Gastmusiker zur Hand, die ihre Persönlichkeit und Virtuosität in den Dienst der etwas anderen Sache stellen:
Mit Star-Flötistin DOROTHEE OBERLINGER etwa ist regelrechter Klassik-Adel vertreten, aber auch der Gitarrist CHRISTIAN BUCK oder die Harfespielerin JANE BERTHE sind anerkannte Größen ihres jeweiligen Gebietes und sonst zu hören als begnadete Interpreten von Steve Reich oder Claude Debussy. Von Instrumentenseite wird ebenfalls Verblüffendes vermeldet, z.B. die Verwendung eines seltenen DDR-Tasteninstruments namens 'Weltmeister Basset' für Kaito's 'Everlasting', das hypnotische Raunen eines alten Studio-Harmoniums auf Closer Musik's 'One Two Three (No Gravity)' und die epische Wucht des im Kölner Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum befindlichen Gamelanorchesters 'Kyai Sabda', welches für Voigt & Voigt's 'Gong Audio' zum Einsatz kam.

Kompakt's Waffe der Wahl war zumeist die gerade Bassdrum, ihre minimalistische Schönheit unsere Dialektik. Doch strenge Diskurshüter eines imaginierten Grals, das wollten wir nie sein und das hat auch Gregor erkannt, der jedem der ausgewählten Track eine neue Stimme gibt, um neue Geschichten erzählen zu können. So stellt er mit überraschend umformulierten Akustikversionen, etwa von Jürgen Paapes 'Triumph' (für präpariertes Klavier), Justus Köhnckes 'Was Ist Musik' (für Streichquartett) oder Closer Musik's 'Maria' (für Klavier) gewagte Behauptungen auf, zieht unerwartete Schlüsse und schafft es doch jedes Mal wieder des Pudels ursprünglichen Kern - die Melodie, die Hookline, das Gefühl - in neuem Glanz erstrahlen zu lassen.

Nach dem überraschenden Erfolg von Vol. 1 liefert ZYX auch 2013 wieder eine Doppel-CD mit frisch produzierten Titeln im Italo Disco Sound der 80er.
Die neue Compilation enthält Produktionen aus Finnland, Australien, Russland und zeigt, dass Italo Disco weiterhin weltweit ein Thema ist. Einige der Versionen wurden exklusiv für diese Compilation erstellt und sind ansonsten auf keiner CD zu finden
Zu den Highlights auf dieser Doppel-CD zählen u.a. Eddy Huntington, Vyck Vyo, Elen Cora oder auch Siberian Heat

"Brilliant mad rare re-masters of 4 classic hard to find anthems"

Actually, a split release between Paul Hill and Nikki-O. Two sides of warm, intimate vocal house music. Tip!!
Paul Hill's side is a midtempo cut with sweet playing between main vocal and background vox. The Nikki-O side is more uptempo and has an affectuous bassline supporting the track.

'The original process of 're-mixing records' was intended to provide an alternative listening experience which had been optimized for people who went out to dance at Discos. John was one of the early pioneers who loved music, understood his craft and HAD RESPECT FOR THE CREATIVE WORK from which his mixes were derived' Patrick Adams - Super Producer. Writer of more than 30 Gold and Platinum records and back to back winner of ASCAP Songwriter of the year award 1996/1997

This compilation is John Morales' third for BBE. Few can match his contributions to the world of Dance Music be it soul, funk, disco, to today's house music.

John Morales is considered one of the true legends of the mix. And his work some thirty years later continues to be cutting edge and inspiring. His epic mix of Universal Robot Bands boogie anthem 'Barely Breakin Even' is the source from which BBE Records got its name.
No attempt has ever been made to summarise the pinnacle of John's work. This third release on BBE continues that history lesson that John has forged in dance music. He formed The M&M Mix with his late partner Sergio Munzibai, in 1982 till 1990 whose output of over 650 mixes will be unmatched today. John continues The M&M legacy.
From the Rolling Stones to Gloria Estefan, The Temptations, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Hall & Oates, Teena Marie, Aretha Franklin to BBE - we have all been molded by John's everlasting mix influence, love for his work and his Music..
These superb doublepacks present some of John's finest works, and takes the M&M Mix legacy to yet a higher level.

DESCRIPTION

If you're going to get someone to remix a seminal record, it's a good idea to get someone in love with the source material; Groove Armada, Noir and Eats Everything all fall firmly into this category. Chicken Lips' 'He Not In' is one of those records that everyone recognizes, even if you're not aware of its name or who wrote it. The bassline is an enduring sound in dance music that everyone knows, and pretty much everyone loves.

Groove Armada turn in a phenomenal reworking, teasing the original bassline over heavy swung beats and sharply drawn percussion, phasing the track out of all recognition for a tensely rewarding crescendo. Eats Everything sticks closer to the structure of the original, jacking the beats and bass up to maximum capacity for an explosive, peak-time deep houser. Noir's Personal Edit rounds of the set of new versions; a version which Noir has been playing on the road since the release of the original and its inclusion will satisfy anyone who's heard him drop this live

here it is !!!! the moby megabomb inkl. phat remixes !!!

Superb replica reissue of the hard-to-find original 12' version of one the true classics of the jazz-funk stratosphere - the amazing and inimitable Running Away by vibes master Roy Ayers. Instantly recognisable from the first bass riffs, this seminal track from the late 70s is a dancefloor staple around the world crossing genres and generations to become one of the most-loved tracks of all time championed by more DJs than you can shake a stick at. Although Running Away is the undeniable star, on the flip 'Can't You See Me' is not to be sneezed at either - a summery cool groover with sweet vocals and a breezy Brazilian feel. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of jazz-funk history

UNRELEASED TRACK BY ANDY VOTEL AKA TANDY LOVE, MR SCRUFF, HAR YOU PERCUSSION GROUP, JO ANN HENDERSON, RASKAL THE SUPERSONICCRUISER, MIXMONSTER MENNO, 44RAVE & STUFF. THE FUTURE MEETS THE PAST, IN EVERY VINYL BAG!

Finally Repressed !!

"I'm always pleasantly surprised by some of the feedback I get when I put out one of these albums... I mean, liking good music isn't exactly rocket science is it

Judging by some of the records I see changing hands for staggering sums of money though, it's maybe not as easy as it looks. Perhaps seeing past the rarity of a record and actually liking something for its beauty rather than its value is the key. Perhaps being broke is a good position to be in after all. Whatever. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this album isn't about me showing off my "collection" (despite the use of the word "rare" in the title), it's simply my choice of as many good tracks as I can fit on a CD, most of which I hope you'll like as much as I do. That said, there would be no point in filling a CD with tracks that are obvious or particularly easy to find. So rest assured, you've saved a few bob, not to mention the hassle of hiding parcels from your wife when the postman comes, by buying this album instead of the individual songs.

One CD is just straight up music (I've edited a few tracks of course, but that just makes them even more "DJ friendly"). the other is a "continuous disco mix" which basically means it's the same songs without gaps. So you can have a party and just mingle without worrying too much about the music. Assuming your guests like obscure disco music that is. I'm trying to avoid using the term "DJ mix" because it isn't really. I made the mistake of selecting tracks that don't easily blend together, whereas DJs, as we all know, select tracks based on how long and how tightly quantised the drum intro is.

As an added bonus, all vinyl conversion was carried out by Andrew Pirie, Glasgow's answer to David Mancuso, but younger. And taller. With mastering duties by Lynn Petrin of Ebony Cuts. Germany's answer to Herb Powers." - Al Kent, October 2012

Disco Love is a series of fabulous disco records that you have probably never heard of. All superb records presented to you by the legendary Al Kent from the unlikeliest disco haven of Glasgow. Al's been buying records a few years now, usually ignoring the in-demand or more obvious titles and searching a little harder for fabulous disco records that you have probably never heard of. Disco Love 3 contains just some of them.

Not only that, but most of them are exclusive, unissued re-edits, spliced specially for this album by Mr. Kent. And he's mixed them all together for one disc. If you like your disco music deep, soulful and/or funky, then you've come to the right place. It's worth mentioning that Al Kent only plays old music. To enhance his sets Al spends a crazy amount of time creating spe- cial edits. The likes of Kon (Off Track), Rahaan, Theo Parrish and Dimitri from Paris all want his edits when they hear them.
