Tracer (LP)
LP! Lädt zum bekifften Mittagsschlaf wie zum Ausrasten auf der Tanzfläche ein, mit pasenden Gästen wie Panda Bear, Laurel Halo, Kelela & Romanthony (der auch schon für Daft Punk durch den Vocoder gesungen hat)Teengirl Fantasy, die beiden New Yorker Nick Weiss und Logan Takahashi, veröffentlichen ihr zweites Album. »Tracer« wird der Nachfolger zum viel umjubelten »7AM« heißen, das Album erscheint auf dem belgischen Traditionslabel R&S. Ein Label, dessen Katalog die beiden Jungs von Teengirl Fantasy über die Jahre inspiriert hat. Dem Fact Mag erzählten sie, dass es sich immer noch »pretty bonkers« anfühle, bei R&S unterschrieben zu haben. »Bonkers« ist ein gutes Stichwort für den Sound der Band: Psychedelische House-Musik, die rückwärts gewandt ist, ohne nostalgisch zu sein, Musik, die genauso zum bekifften Mittagsschlaf einlädt, wie zum Ausrasten auf der Tanzfläche. An diesem Grundkonzept hat sich für »Tracer« nichts geändert. Einen wichtigen Unterschied zum Vorgänger gibt es dennoch: Das Produzenten-Duo aus Brooklyn hat weniger mit Samples gearbeitet. Stattdessen gibt es nun Gastbeiträge, wie sie nicht passender sein könnten: Panda Bear, Laurel Halo, Kelela & Romanthony (der auch schon für Daft Punk durch den Vocoder gesungen) leihen den Songs ihre Stimmen.

Tracer
Grandioser Avant-Pop. Lädt zum Mittagsschlaf wie zum Ausrasten auf der Tanzfläche ein, mit passenden Gästen wie Panda Bear, Laurel Halo, Kelela & Romanthony (der auch schon für Daft Punk durch den Vocoder gesungen hat)Teengirl Fantasy, die beiden New Yorker Nick Weiss und Logan Takahashi, veröffentlichen ihr zweites Album. »Tracer« wird der Nachfolger zum viel umjubelten »7AM« heißen, das Album erscheint auf dem belgischen Traditionslabel R&S. Ein Label, dessen Katalog die beiden Jungs von Teengirl Fantasy über die Jahre inspiriert hat.

(HHV.DE) While students at Oberlin College, Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi connected over a shared love of classic house and techno records that prompted them to make, some kind of dance music that wasn't just emulating what we were hearing. The duo formed their music organically, improvising over loops that eventually materialized into full-fledged compositions. Rather than relying on triggering loops, or quantization, Teengirl Fantasy's music has always been performed and composed live, resulting in a form of discourse between the band and their instruments. The result is a-typical for electronic dance music - colorful, maximalist textures and tones that move along with a driving rhythm yet still retain a distinctly human and emotional core. In the fall of 2010, they released their debut LP, 7AM. Titled after the, confused, dreamy, half-awake, half-asleep state that one experiences after staying up all night partying, 7AM was critically praised for its creative use of samples and experimentation. The album made numerous year-end lists including FACT, Pitchfork, XLR8R and established the pair as electronic visionaries. On their sophomore LP, Tracer, Teengirl Fantasy cuts through some of the haze of their earlier recordings to create their most compositionally sophisticated work yet. It's more focused, far-reaching and it takes more risks. Unlike 7AM, Tracer is completely sample-free and features an array of vocalists including Panda Bear, Romanthony, Laurel Halo, and Kelela. For the songs with vocalists, their approach is, a wacked version of the pop format. The album is sonically maximal and symphonic, with heavily layered songs containing multiple elements. The editing is more painstaking- there's more crafting to the songs, says the duo. Although Tracer touches on an array of genres such as techno, pop, R&B, and house, it simulates a cohesive journey.

Intro (Meg Anderson, Jeremy Cox) Meg Anderson - vocals, midi harp Phoebe Spier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Rhoda - (Meg Anderson. Words by Virginia Woolf) Meg Anderson - vocals, midi harp Phoebe Spier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin And nothing is unabsorbed And i could fancy that we might blow so vast , So vast a bubble that  , The sun might set , And rise in it And we might take , The blue of midday And the black of , Midnight and be cast off , And escape from here and now  , As if a miracle had happened And life were stayed here and now And said rhoda we had no more to live  , And you're all there , Caught in understanding I know you, loo loo loo loo And i could fancy that , We might go so vast , So vast and wild away Away Jinny - (Meg Anderson. Words by Virginia Woolf) Meg Anderson - vocals Carrie Owen - vocals Paul Owen - vocals Parrish Collier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion, fender rhodes, beatbox Jamsion Sevits - percussion, keyboards, beatbox, trumpet Annette Bjorling - harp , 'Jinny' began in 2006 when I was a student at the Bloom School of Jazz. The first riff of the song came on the buss ride home after working the Aeolian mode in class. I began building on and later arranged it for an adaptation of Virginia Wolfe's playpoem, 'The Waves' in November 2009. , After that show, Jeremy took the rehearsal-recording and secretly worked on it with Jamison, adding auxiliary percussion and other lilting and groovy moments. I was so surprised and delighted and we carried it around with us for a year until the tour when we finally overlaid the vocals. How proudly we sit here Dazzle of youth All's clear all's firm , Without shadow or illusion Our flesh is firm and cool Our differences are clear cut  , As the shadow of rocks in full sunlight Days and days are to come The fruit is swollen beneath the leaf Winter days summer days  , With infinite time before us What shall we do Watch the coals turn crimson Reach for books shout with laughter? All is to come  , For one moment only before the chain breaks Before disorder returns see us held in a vice But now the circle breaks the current flows the passions grow And pound us with their waves jealously envy desire And now something deeper than they stronger than love And more subterranean , Net of light loop of time ring of steal white words Islands of light swimming on the grass  , With infinite time before us What shall we do Watch the coals turn crimson Reach for books shout with laughter? All is to come  , I could make a dozen stories , Of what he said of what she said And i can see a dozen pictures But what are stories toys i twist bubbles i , Blow one ring passing through another And sometimes i doubt if there are stories What is my story what is rhoda's what is neville's There is truth there is fact , That it true, that is fact But beyond is all darkness and conje . . .  ,cture Felicity - (Jeremy Cox, Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals Jeremy Cox - piano Jamsion Sevits - trumpet Matt Aurand - bass guitar Annette Bjorling - harp Jeremy wrote this song for his new baby niece, Felicity, who we had the privilege of meeting when she first arrived this past October 2011.  , Lightseed - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals, keyboard Carrie Owen - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion, vocoder, drum programming Matt Aurand - bass guitar , Anitya Movement 1 - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals, percussion Carrie Owen - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Fred Poetzsch - drum programming , Mid-Tour on our drive from the midwest to the Portland, I played this ditty for Jeremy that I had sung in a cafe in the fall of 2005. The melodies and rhythms came in pieces, so it didn't occur to me to put them on the album -- It overwhelmed me to think of creating one song out of them. Then Jeremy suggested three different movements. Brilliant. , Carrie does an exquisite job on all three. I arrived at her house in Sacramento to rehearse and heard her crystal clear voice effortlessly ringing through the walls. A composer's dream. , The other aspect of Anitya Movement 1 that continues to delight me is the syncopation that Jeremy and Matt created with clapping! I like it so much it makes me laugh. I have never really known the meaning of the lyrics for Anitya Movements 1 and 2. Like most of the songs, the music came first on these too, but in this case I never bothered to apply words that made much sense, leaving it as a mixture of gibberish and nonsense phrases, until it was time to record. Then I shaped them a little further, but not much, into a meaning that I was beginning to glean from them. So they remain a bit cryptic with pieces of 'sense'. I'd be interested in your interpretation. Anitya Movement 1 a matter of course and tender as i , d d d dee ya... d d d dee i am as i, , dear at end of the day we hand it all away d d d d ... , ...

What a blessings. . . I think we got it right. , The rest of the lyrics and tune were inspired by a conversation Jeremy, Carrie and I had about reincarnation and samsara. Carrie, conveniently holding a Religious Studies Degree, filled in some gaps for us in these basic concepts and beliefs and the conversation was good and filling, The melody and lyrics effortlessly poured out of me the next day. , The song is both a realization - the freedom found in 'Anitya' being the only constant -- and it is also a lament for and a commiseration with each human being who struggles for relief from the great search no matter how mundanely it manifests. , Anitya Movement 3 oo oo oo oo I carry this to freedom oo oo oo oo and break my site in a thousand shards of light delude my heart up to an annihilated height , and cancel day with night and all my answer effortlessly come streami- Shop: odax

Midsummer
Recorded in 2010 at Townend Studios (Berlin), Klangwolke (Berlin), OrBeat-Studios (Berlin), Eastgate-Studios (Vienna) Track 1 and 5 produced by Quaeschning/Heidemann Track 2 by Beator Track 3 by Quaeschning/Djirre Track 4, 6 and 8 by Beator/Quaeschning Track 7 by Quaeschning Thorsten Quaeschning - Synthesizer, Piano, Memotron, Guitar, Vocoder, Vocals, Boomwhakers, Percussion, Stones Sascha Beator - Synthesizer Kai Hanuschka - Drums, Vocals, Percussion Djirre - Guitar, Vocals, Vocoder Juergen Heidemann - Singing Stones, Stones, Vocals, Boomwhakers David See - Stones Nadine Gomez - Violin, Vocals Picture Palace Music is an electronic music band from Berlin, Germany, the city where serious electronic music was born. Thorsten 'Q' Quaeschning, keyboardplayer in Tangerine Dream, is head of the project. The main idea of the group that was founded in 2003 is to reproduce the musical dynamic and experiments of old live accompaniment for silent movies and to give them a modern soundtrack with nowadays-technical options. This shows that the old silent movies are not mouldy: they are timeless and fascinating! The music is inspired by more than eighty years old silent movies. Take a deep trip into a mystical world of sounds! Picture Palace Music already has quite a number of releases out, some only available as download but also some on the Manikin electronic music label from Berlin. 'Midsummer' is the first one that was released on Groove Unlimited. The theme behind the album is 'music for sound divers and baptism-ceremonies'. The band is celebrating a wonderful summer sun-worshipping the solstice and the associated famous white nights and blue hours. Vuvuzelas (remember those from the Word Championship soccer?) as an essential part of this particular summer will be heard as well as the beautiful noise of sound-stones. So join the band having a trip through the whole gamut of emotions regarding/reflecting this eventful year - 2010. And a band it is. Apart from Thorsten 'Q' the band consists of Sacha Beator (keyboards, who also does a lot of composing), Djirre and Stephen Mortimer on guitars, Vincent Novak on drums and Juergen Heidemann on various instruments and sounds. Of course, with a man like 'Q' in the band, a comparison can be made with the music of Tangerine Dream. But Picture Palace Music is more than that: melodically, lively, rocky and even at some cases progressive ('Q' is a fan of progrock and alternative rockmusic which can be heard throughout the album). With 'Chill Crystal Zone' the album already starts in a progressive way with fierce guitars and drums. But on many occasions the band takes a rest, like in the atmospheric 'Midsummer's Morning' in which we hear 'Q''s Memotronflutes and 'Drowning Someone's Sorrow Into The Ocean, part I' (a great title!). He also plays a fine steelguitar: that can be heard in 'Seduction Crossing' and even sings, like in 'Midsummer's Night'. The texts are by William Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Picture Palace Music creates music that is a perfect mix between electronic music, rock and prog and therefore may attract a diversity of music lovers. And also live, like on the 'E-Live festival' in 2010 they proved they are a rising force in EM. Press Information It's quite difficult to describe the music of Picture Palace Music so much that she's so disparate. Since the release of Somnambulistic Tunes in 2007, Thorsten Quaeschning's group doesn't stop amazing by an impressive variety of styles and tones. Midsummer, their 1st album on Groove Unlimited was revealed during the E-Live2010 festival during a hectic concert that totally amazed the audience. And with good cause! Beyond a hymn to summer, it's solstice, the sun and it's worshippers, Midsummer embraces big synth rock and keeps an attentive ear to rustles o bluish nights, there where festivities of a world of excitement cross the parallelism of dualistic universes of Picture Palace Music. Chill Crystal Zone reminds us above all that the leader of PPM is also behind the keyboards of Tangerine Dream. Midsummer's introductory track starts with a slightly fluty synth dandling on a fine sequential line which waves such a prismatic rivulet on a cozy bed of twinkling arpeggios and guitar notes scrolling in loops. The rhythm is nervous, crossing the wriggling guitar of The Edge (U2) as well as naive and tremulous sequences of Dream from the Rockoon years. A feverish guitar of which riffs are fading behind floating vocalizes shapes a strange melody gnawed by a latent madness. The pace is increasing with more sustained percussions and crystalline chords which waddle innocently before the guitar becomes more mordant and that an avalanche of percussions tumbles with crash, dividing Chill Crystal Zone between a soft melody and an astounding musical fury that PPM had already flooded us with Damsel Dive and Help Murder Help which we find on Fairy Marsh Districts. Moreover, Midsummer will constantly be torn between melodies and anguishes as well as between brightness and blackness. Midsummer's Eve follows with an introduction rather similar to Chill Crystal Zone weakened rhythm, except that the rhythm explodes heavily with furious percussions, a line of hemmed bass and nervous guitar riffs which plunges us into the somber universe of King Crimson (Red and Starless and Bible Black). An explosive track where the guitar drags it's solos on a hybrid structure with a rhythm broken by short aired interludes, leaning over heavy riffs and dark lines of synth which roar in a cacophony of sounds reminding us that Midsummer is also an album for sound divers as well as for baptism ceremonies, but surely baptisms of another religious order. Sounds, sounds and sounds. Midsummer's Morning is full of those and this up to the last hidden recesses of it's mystery. It's a wonderful ode to schizophrenia with a delicious piano which spreads a magnificent meditative melody where voices drag in a furrow disturbing of emotionalism and eclecticism. A soft piano which reminds me the Añoranza on Curicculum Vitae 1 whose atmosphere is similar to it with all this array of sounds as heterogeneous as troubling which crosses this delicate duel piano / flute. Midsummer's Day cross a little bit the light rhythmics of the Dream in the Miramar years with it's lively tempo where guitar riffs flow on nervous percussions and limpid sequences fidgeting beneath delicate strata of synth. A track which flirts a little more towards the big synth rock, quite as the powerful and colliding Right of Ascension Day, and which knows it's increases of creativity with a beautiful guitar and vocals of festivities which plunge Midsummer's Day in an unreal African rave-up, especially with vuvuzelas which buzz around vocoders. Seduction Crossing is also tinted of this Tangerine Dream universe, but a darker Dream brought out of Legend paths. A fine sequence swirls after an atonal intro with anguishing breezes. A sequence of which chords are trickling away under good striking of muffed percussions and others which are deeply colliding quite as on Legend. A line of bass fed this spiral sequence where keyboard keys water this strange melody of glass tones. A great track which depicts a nightmarish paranoia, especially when are adding superb spectral guitars strata which sway with stridence, tearing this suave to schizophrenic seduction which lives in Seduction Crossing, one excellent track within Midsummer. Our eardrums, still knocked out by strikes of the heavy and captivating Right of Ascension, are wrapped by the eclectic and hollow intro of Drowning Someone's Sorrow into the Ocean Part I. Drops stream in the echo of dark caves of which curves go on towards a heterogeneous sound universe where caustic reverberations cross an array of fluty breezes and metallic hoops. A sequence is emerging from it and discreetly astride this plain fossilized of metallic humming. The movement is delicate and is increasing with the appearance of the P- Shop: odax

The Sound of the First Season
Er besitzt Kultstatus wie kaum ein anderer deutscher DJ und seine regelmäßigen Marathon-Sets bei den eigenen Cocoon Events gelten als äußerst exzessiv. Ständig wummern die Bässe, monotone Geräusche-Loops und abgedrehte, durch den Vocoder gejagte Sprachsamples bestimmen Väths Sound. Nun gibt es die erste offizielle Cocoon Mix CD mit allem, was die Cocoon Parties auf Ibiza geprägt hat. Väths Set beginnt mit spanischen Begrüßungsworten, die übergangslos in einen seiner Favoriten übergehen: 1-2-3-4-Marschtakte mit W.I.R. von Wassermann. Steve Bug folgt mit At The Front, das ebenfalls in keinem Set des Technoidols fehlen durfte. Dubbige blubbernde High Energy Beats liefern Si Begg mit Welcome To The Discotheque, während Väth selbst seinem monotonen Rhytmusgebilde treu bleibt und Ein Waggon Voller Geschichten (Single aus dem Väth-Album Contact) brachial bis mystisch aus den Lautsprechern dröhnt. Herausragend ist Justin Berkovis im Techno-Retro-Stil gehaltenes Sustained Buxom Mad Chips, das jeden Clubber bestens ohral sättigen wird. Weiter geht es in Väths perfekt gemixtem Set mit John Thomas Undisputed Life, das aus einem mit Beats unterlegten Dauerloop besteht, das sich mit zirpenden Rave Hi-Hats abwechselt -- fett! Mit einem typischen Tanztrack endet die musikalische Reise zu den Cocoon Parties: Scorp tragen mit Crashed At The End noch einmal ganz dick auf! Nicht unbedingt tauglich für das Wohnzimmer, aber dafür bestens als Party-Abräumer geeignet. --Mark Hartmann von Amazon, November 2000 TRACKS: 1. Wassermann - W.I.R. (Sven Väth Mix) 2.

Something New/Gonna Have Big Fun
Die beiden New Horizons Alben auf einer CD: "Something New" (1983) und "Gonna Have Big Fun" (1984) From our Hidden Treasures Series comes both of the New Horizons albums on 1 CD, Something New from 1983 and Gonna Have Big Fun from 1984. Restored From the Original Master Tapes by Mark Wilder, at Battery Studios in New York, New Horizons Group Members. Varges Thomas Mark Thomas Bart Thomas Tim Abrams Art Thomas Recorded and Released 2 albums on Columbia Records in 1983 and 1984. Both of their LP's were produced by Roger Troutman. Innovative funkster Roger Troutman was the master of the vocoder -- a keyboard synthesizer that created robotic-sounding vocals through the simultaneous use of a pianolike interface and a breath controller (breath tube), somewhat like a guitar talk box. What James Jamerson did for the bass, Jimi Hendrix for the guitar, and Stevie Wonder for the harmonica, Troutman did for the vocoder.- Shop: odax

Exotica
Deluxe Limited Edition of PDM's 2021 'Exotica' album features 2 x Purple Vinyl, 2 x Printed Inner Sleeves in Embossed Gatefold Sleeve with A2 Poster! Includes the full 'Exotica' album plus 3 bonus tracks: 'In The Dark' with Sophie and the Giants, 'Rise' featuring Tasita D'Mour, and 'Twisted Mind' featuring Agnes.His sophomore album 'Exotica' pays homage to the 80s and the plethora of artists that inspired him to create and set him on the path of becoming the internationally acclaimed producer he is today. The album boasts all the elements of his heartfelt favorites throughout the decade - the synth pop from the UK, Italo disco styles of Moroder, Milan & Munich, the funk of Prince, the R&B electro soul of Luther Vandross & Jam & Lewis, to influences from George Michael, and Quincy Jones. So ingrained in his musical identity, Purple Disco Machine's artist name is a deliberate collage of the colour of his 80's funk hero Prince and the uplifting fun dance beat of Gloria Estefan's Miami Sound Machine.The album encompasses all the grooves, signature guitar licks, and funky basslines that are synonymous with a Purple Disco Machine record, whilst having moments of light and shade inviting you further into his universe. Having already released a handful of singles from the LP, including the Sophie and the Giants collab 'Hypnotized', 'Fireworks' feat. Moss Kena & The Knocks, 'Playbox', and more recently 'Dopamine' feat. Eyelar, Purple Disco Machine has quickly gained a mammoth international following eager to hear more. 'Hypnotized' became an anthem the world over, having been streamed over 275 million times across platforms, whilst going triple Platinum in Italy, Poland and Switzerland, with the carefree stylings of 'Fireworks' quickly following suit with over 80 million streams to date, whilst dominating airwaves across Europe hitting #5 on the overall chart, and #1 across Italy and Germany. Further skyrocketing up the Shazam Charts, the single went to #1 in Germany, and #3 across Italy, Denmark, and Austria to become another certified hit for Purple Disco Machine.The album opens with 'Can't Get Enough' featuring Australian songstress Sahara Beck, and for all his fans across Europe, is the perfect follow on from 'Hypnotized'- hitting all the same feels as the breakout single. Teaming up with long term collaborator Lorenz Rhodes once again for the release of 'At The Disko', the duo have created an instant and lively dance floor heater, incorporating the vocoder as they did previously on 'Music In You', and breaking into some seriously heaving piano chords and claps to keep that energy all the way through. 'Don't Stop' is a return to his more traditional club leaning records, likewise, title single 'Exotica feat. Mind Enterprises', and the 'Body Funk Part 2' vibes of 'Playbox' which has been represented in video as a truly incredible cosmic journey. Also sitting on that club tip is 'Loneliness', his track with cult underground Italian producer Francesca Lombardo, which oozes a patient charisma throughout. Taking time to slow things down on 'I Remember', Tino has collaborated with Elderbrook, who has become one of the most iconic singers in the electronic space in recent years - his transcendent vocals shining through, with soaring synths, and harmonic vocal effects, creating a heavenly slice of melancholy disco. Following through with another mellow jam is the album closer 'Wanna Feel Like A Lover feat Ed Mac', which is a true amalgamation of 80s flair even boasting the decade's trademark sax solo! Moving further outside his contemporary disco template, Tino has teamed up with Ukrainian / English duo Bloom Twins on 'Opposite of Crazy' coloring their unique blend of alt dark synth pop, with quirky and boisterous squalls of Prince-esque guitar throughout. Energy, soul, and pure fierceness shines through from the very first note of the anthemic 'Hands To The Sky' featuring the outstanding vocal talents of Fiorious and House Gospel Choir, and last but not least is the collaboration with Brooklyn disco hipsters Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue, the uber funky 'Money Money' incorporates the slickest of all vocal lines reminiscent of the sassiest best of Big Apple boogie.Now boasting over 1 billion streams across his catalogue to date, and over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Purple Disco Machine continues to live up to the hype of #2 Beatport Artist of All Time. With a succession of notable remixes for Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson, Foals, Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, Sir Elton John, Royal Blood, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, Duke Dumont, and Diplo & SIDEPIECE, coupled with his continuous stream of original hit singles over the past four years, Purple Disco Machine's influence on the global dance music scene will be felt for generations to come.Tracklisting:A1.
