Various - Audio Presents Ramlife Drum & Bass
 
29

2014 stands as a defining moment for the RAM Records imprint. Not only did it announce the pivotal signing of artists like Audio, Teddy Killerz and Bensley but they also oversaw the birth of compilation series RAMLife hosted by Loadstar. Even in its first form, it contained nearly every essential release the last twelve months had to offer.

But this year, RAMLife is taking you into deeper and murkier dimensions. Having already flexed his production muscle on the ricocheting, four-track 'Nil by Mouth' EP, as well as his first visual debut in the music video for 'Heads Up', it's now time for Audio to cut open and expose his musical psyche.

Including some of the most aggressive, technically adept and prominent artists the genre has to offer, including Bad Company, Optiv & BTK and Noisia to name a few, no stone goes unturned for the album's entirety. Audio also throws bass-fuelled bullets in the form of exclusives, with explosive VIPs that have yet to be released.

The brand new cut 'Foodchain' from Audio sets a theme which is prevalent throughout all 27 tracks. Uncompromising yet diligently crafted, it leads you into a freight train of musicality which holds you hostage from start to finish. Zipping through to the mechanical composition of Mefjus' 'Brainwork', all the way back to Spor's heavy-hitting 'Bullet Time' remix, this is a no holds barred exploration of the genre's darker side.

Jonny Nash - Phantom Actors

Jonny Nash (Land Of Light) pulling out he deepest set of cuts on his own new label... sublime TIP!
Melody As Truth is a record label run by Jonny Nash, primarily as a vehicle for his personal output.

Perhaps best known for his work on ESP Institute, Nash has been noticeably quiet since the acclaim for 2012`s Land Of Light collaboration between himself and Kyle Martin, even for someone who has always placed quality far above quantity. His last recorded output was a recent retrospective by Japan`s Snaker (which sold out in days). Jonny has spent the last twelve months playing live and experimenting in the studio with artists such as Gigi Masin,Young Marco, Thomas Bullock, Suzanne Kraft, Black Merlin and Tiago, studying, honing and developing his sound.

This development is evident on Melody As Truth`s first release, a five track E.P. entitled "Phantom Actors". Citing Modern Classical and Detroit ambience as an influence, simplicity and subtraction are key themes, with Nash's distinctive melodic approach still central. Silence is balanced with noise, light with dark, in a refined first release for the label.

Laing - Wechselt Die Beleuchtung

1. Akt: Zurück aus dem Paradies
Schon auf ihrem letztjährigen Debütalbum Paradies Naivhaben Laing mit besonderem Vergnügen Feldforschungen am lebenden Objekt betrieben: Bisweilen unerhört entlarvende Stücke über Frau und Mann, Mann und Frau samt ihrer Marotten und all ihrer kleinen und großen Komödien und Tragödien. Mit ihrem zweiten Album Wechselt die Beleuchtung werfen Laing nun ein völlig neues Licht auf den emotionalen Makrokosmos und seine unterschiedlichen Protagonisten. Mit ihrem Edelmetall-ausgezeichneten Top 10-Hit 'Morgens immer müde' aus dem ebenso hemmungslos gefeierten Longplay-Erstling Paradies Naiv haben Laing die deutschsprachige Musiklandschaft im vergangenen Jahr erst so richtig auf links, und dann wieder zurück auf Kante gezogen: Mit ihrer Multimedia-Performance aus Bühnenchoreographie und dem außergewöhnlichen Crossover aus Minimal-Elektro, Pop und R'n'B, verbunden mit einer einzigartig filigranen Sprachästhetik demonstrierte das Berliner Damenquartett eine Art von Neuer Deutscher Unverkrampftheit, die Laing in der Folgezeit ausverkaufte Konzerthäuser sowie eine absolute Ausnahmestellung innerhalb der heimischen Szene bescherte. Ein Status, den Leadsängerin, Songwriterin und Produzentin Nicola Rost gemeinsam mit ihren Sängerinnen Johanna Marschall und Neuzugang Larissa Pesch sowie der Tänzerin und Choreographin Marisa Akeny nun noch weiter ausbaut.


2. Akt: Muskeln und Schwächen
Nach ihrem spektakulär stilsicheren Erstling schlägt Frontfrau Nicola Rost mit ihrer Band nun das viel beschworene 'nächste Kapitel' auf. Von vorne. Wieder auf Anfang. Leeres Blatt Papier, leerer Bildschirm. Kein Ballast; mehr als genug Platz für tausend neue Ideen. Und die Gelegenheit, die Perspektive zu ändern. Geblieben ist diese ganz besonders heftige Detailverliebtheit, mit der Nicola Rost die Gefühlswelt um sich herum bis in die kleinste Doppelchromosomenfaser seziert, mit der deutschen Sprache und den Hormonen jongliert und am Ende doch irgendwie alles auf den gleichen Nenner bekommt: Dass sich das Leben liebend gern von seiner kompliziertesten Seite zeigt und Eins immer noch die einsamste Zahl bleibt. Laing leben vom Kontrast, dem Clash, den Ecken und Kanten; textlich wie auch musikalisch. Gebrochener Charme mit zackigem Beat und messerscharf geschliffenen Lyrics ohne Kindersicherung. Was sich auf Paradies Naiv oftmals silhouettenhaft und verschwommen präsentierte, das hat auf Wechselt die Beleuchtung konkrete Formen angenommen - Ich finde es spannend, die Betrachtungsweise zu ändern', so Nicola Rost über den Metapher schwangeren Albumtitel. 'Wenn man die Beleuchtung wechselt, erscheinen viele Dinge in einem anderen Licht. Man kann selbst negativen Gefühlen wie Kummer und Herzschmerz einen gewissen Reiz abgewinnen, während man Positives wie Freude oder Verliebtheit völlig überraschend in einer ungünstigen Farbe wahrnimmt. Dieses Wechselspiel aus Licht und Dunkel macht die ganze Sache doch im Grunde erst spannend.' Reize, mit denen Laing auf Wechselt die Beleuchtung ganz und gar nicht geizen. Immer auf der Suche nach Spannung, nach dem geschickten Bruch und dem Wesentlichen. Das weglassen, was überflüssig ist. Extreme Gefühlszustände zwischen Euphorie, Hysterie und Tristesse, die man in mal hochdramatische, mal unverschämt freizügige, mal ganz entspannt vor sich hinfließende Hybridpopkleider verpackt. Laing teasern Vorurteile, manipulieren mit Unschuldsengelblick die gängigen Mechanismen der deutschen Sprache, brechen mal eben im Vorbeischlendern mit sämtlichen Konventionen und Erwartungshaltungen. Und sie stellen eiskalt lächelnd die Geschlechterrollen auf den Kopf. Wobei sich doch jeder irgendwann in Laings exemplarischen Sozialstudien wieder findet. 'Meine Songs handeln nicht immer nur von Liebesbeziehungen zwischen Mann und Frau, sondern auch von Freundschaft. Mich interessieren die verschiedenen Verhältnisse untereinander. Die Gründe, wie sich Leute in bestimmten Situationen verhalten. Wir alle haben eines gemeinsam: Die Sehnsucht nach Halt. Sehnsucht nach Zweisamkeit. Und manchmal auch nach ein wenig Einsamkeit.'
Letzter Akt: Alleine ins Bett
Nicola Rost erzählt die Geschichten, die allen irgendwann passieren. Nennt den Patient beim Namen. Vom 'Karneval der Gefühle', wenn mal wieder alles verrückt spielt. Von den Irrungen und Wirrungen, die durch das alltägliche Gefühlschaos führen und vom emotionalen Ausnahmezustand neurotischer Metropolensingles. Mal kess, mal cool. Zwischen großen Diven wie Zarah Leander oder Hildegard Knef, und der naiven Sexyness einer Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'. Immer aber irgendwie vertraut. So wie mit der ersten Single 'Safari', auf der sich Laing auf ausgedehnte Kuriositätenexkursion durch das Nachtleben begeben. In eine ganz ähnliche Kerbe schlägt man mit dem Bodybuilding-Track 'Zeig deine Muskeln'; dem wohl ersten Popsong mit lateinischem Refrain. 'Eine Art modernes Heldenepos. Wenn man ganz ehrlich ist, geht man nur ins Fitnessstudio, um Muskelpartien zu trainieren, die im Grunde absolut nutzlos sind und keinen anderen Sinn haben, als sexy auszusehen. Es hat schon etwas von Tierbeschau, aber insgeheim geht man selbst zum Training und steht ja auch irgendwie drauf...' Mit dem fast cartoonhaft überspitzten 'Sei doch bitte wieder gut' hat das Quartett nach dem soundtechnischen Make-Over von Trude Herrs 60er Jahre-Schmonzette 'Morgens immer müde' einen weiteren Schlagerklassiker zu neuem Leben reanimiert und Heintjes schnulzigen Entschuldigungssong nach typischer Laing-Manier zu einem zynischen R'n'B-Monster aufgepimpt. Ihr Fazit ziehen Nicola Rost und Co. schließlich mit dem augenzwinkernd - Das letzte Lied' betitelten Rausschmeißer. Alle Pointen verschossen, alle Tränen vergossen. Höchste Zeit, nach durchlittener Nacht wieder nach Hause zu gehen. Alleine. Danke schön, das war's. 'Ich zeige auf, wo's weh tut. Es ist völlig normal, auch seine Schwächen offen zu legen. Ich finde es immer sympathisch, wenn ich zu hören bekomme, dass diese zwischenmenschlichen Katastrophen auch anderen Menschen passieren und man nicht alleine ist. Wenn es bei uns irgendeine Message gibt, dann die, dass wir alle die gleichen Probleme haben. Das kann einem wirklich Trost geben.'

Zeitgleich zum Albumrelease im September 2014 kündigen Laing auch ihre Rückkehr auf die Bühne an, die sie mit fünf Konzerten in bestuhlten Theaterhäusern feiern, in denen sie ihre neuen Songs in intimer Atmosphäre vorstellen werden.

01. Safari
02. Zeig deine Muskeln

07. Natascha

Marcos Cabral & Shux - On The Prowl Presents Otp Part

Danish producer Kenneth Bager weighs in with a heavy remix line-up featuring the massively hyped Alex Metric remix which harks back to the days of slick French filter house, when Etienne DeCrecy, Alex Gopher and obviously Daft Punk were fresher than thou. Jayou's Dub mix first appeared on the Mad Decent blog courtesy of Diplo himself and is a secret weapon of choice on the Annie Mac electro pubstep scene. Bangin', yeah. London Soulful House and Garage don Wookie comes correct with a typically faultless groover whilst Leo Zero takes us on an 11 min vocal journey with his extended mix. Toby Tobias brings it up the rear with two exemplary examples of classic dubby disco grooves, think Harvey meets the Idjuts around at Maurice Fultons house for a warm cup of vibes and you're not even close.

Ata Kak - Obaa Sima

  • 07: Bome Nnwom 05:26

Ata Kak's cassette Obaa Sima fell on deaf ears when it was self-released in Ghana and Canada in 1994. The music on the recording - an amalgam of highlife, Twi-language rap, funk and disco - is presented with the passion of a Prince record and the DIY-bedroom-recording lo-fi charm of early Chicago house music. The astute self-taught song craft and visionary blend of sounds and rhythms has made the album a left-field cult favorite among adventurous listeners worldwide. Awesome Tapes From Africa founder Brian Shimkovitz found the tape in 2002 in Cape Coast, Ghana - one of only a few ever pressed - and later made it the inaugural post on the Awesome Tapes From Africa blog. Hundreds of thousands of downloads, YouTube views, music video tributes and remixes, as well as years of mystery regarding Ata Kak's whereabouts, culminate in this remastered release featuring rare photos and the full back story of one of the internet age's most enigmatic musicians.

Arabesque - Marigot Bay 180g

Arabesque

Marigot Bay 180g

12inchMIR100722
Mirumir
12.02.2015

Arabesque's third LP, 'Marigot Bay' (also known as 'Arabesque III'), was released 1980 and was a little unusual one in the sense of the music itself. All in all, Disco was four of five years old and had become a little unfashionable to the general public. So, now we can call 'Marigot Bay' 'an album where Euro Disco was born' — the dance rhythms and the singers' natural charms were reinforced with things unusual for the pure American Disco style, specifically the rock'n'roll guitar and vocal stylings. So the glorious results: 'Jingle Jangle Joe' sounded very much like a remake of Cher's 1966 hit 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)' and 'Take Me Don't Break Me' is a true rock'n'roll tune with a Disco beat. And one more thing: 'Marigot Bay' was the very first album in the history of Disco where the songs have quite serious lyrics, not just 'dance, dance, dance...' But the ballad 'The Only Night Was A Lonely Night' stands head and shoulders over all the other songs on the album, and it was one of the most popular Arabesque's tracks in then-USSR. This latest Mirumir re-issue is a truly deluxe one: all songs are remastered from the analog tapes, sleeve design restored on silver foiled card paper and there's 8-page booklet with song lyrics and rare band photos.

Mirumir
12.02.2015

The fourth Arabesque LP, 'Midnight Dancer' (initially released as 'Arabesque IV' back in 1980) may be called 'that song album' in all former USSR states. It's quite paradoxical, but the title track (we mean 'Midnight Dancer' here) wasn't released as a single in then-Western Germany or Japan, and even wasn't placed on the Soviet Arabesque Greatest Hits LP. Anyway, 'Midnight Dancer' became not just a main song of Arabesque in Russia back in the 80s, but it still one of the Eurodisco symbols here up to now. This song collection is a little bit more straightforward than 'Marigot Bay' — most tracks are very danceable with tempo around the classic 120 bpm for the best of any discotheque itself. This Mirumir re-issue is a real deluxe one: all songs are newly remastered from analog tapes, sleeve design fully restored on silver foiled card paper and LP comes with 8-page booklet with song lyrics and rare band photos.

Challenger is the first and only album from disco project Baby's Gang - one of the most talked about items among collectors of Italo disco. Their first hit tune, "Happy Song", appeared in 1983 and was so beloved by Boney M producer Frank Farian that he included a cover version on their LP "Kalimba De Luna". When it arrived a couple of years later, the full album was a whole platter of hits. After a few more years, in 1988, their final single was the hit "Disco Maniac", after which the creative activity of the project ended.

This MIRUMIR LP, in addition to new mastering and high-quality printing, includes two additional tracks that were not on the original album: the original version of "Happy Song" (recall that in the remix album came out in 1985) and a maxi-version of "Disco Maniac".

Gianni Coraini, better known under the pseudonym Ken Laszlo, released only one album in the eighties but that has not prevented him from being one of the more beloved artists of the Italo disco scene. Ken Laszlo can be compared with such bright stars of the 80s disco scene as Savage or Fancy. The first release in Europe became a hit single. "Hey Hey Guy", was released in 1984 under the pseudonym Ken Laszlo. His songs "Tonight", "Glasses Man", "Don't Cry", and "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8", all published under the same pseudonym, also became big hits in discos across Europe and beyond. The S/T debut album which includes all those tracks and more is reissued here on LP!

Koto - The Original Masterpiece 180g

Project Koto, one of the main Italo disco legends from the 80s until now had in their discography one "blank spot", which is now filled in by the Mirumir label.

Koto became popular in the early 80s and released several very successful singles on their own label Memory Records (where, by the way were releases from Baby's Gang, Ken Laszlo and other popular Italo disco performers). However, things were going badly at the company, so the entire roster (along with the brand Koto) was sold to the German company Bernhard Mikulski. Because of this, all of the early hits on their debut album, 'Masterpieces' were presented in the form of remixes and remakes, while the original versions remained scattered on inaccessible singles and compilations. Mirumir, with the kind permission of ZYX Music GmbH, presents the album 'The Original Masterpiece', which brings together the very original versions of hits that first brought glory to Koto.

Future Generation is the first and most successful album of the Dutch Italo disco / spacesynth project from producer Eric Van Fleet and Michiel van der Kuy. Laserdance incorporates soulful cosmogony, space and Jean-Michel Jarre, putting it on a Hi-NRG-rail a la Patrick Cowley and other pioneers of synthesizer dance music. The album was first published in Holland in 1987, where it was warmly received by the audience and sold nearly 150 thousand copies. Future Generation, often called the "bible of spacesynth", significantly increased interest in music in this genre. Reissued on LP.

Limited vinyl 12' reissue of this 1979 African disco classic from the great Mr Cecil Bunting MacCormack aka Bunny Mack. A perfect fusion of disco, funk and calypso, produced by fellow Sierra Leonean Akie Deen, this sweaty, pumping disco shaker has timeless dancefloor appeal and is still a big DJ play today especially after being revived as a contemporary club hit by Masters at Work and Anane and also sampled to great effect by Wale for his hip-hop banger 'My Sweetie'. Side B features the highly sought-after and very useful instrumental version 'Love You Forever'.

Eloise Laws - Love Goes Deeper Than That/put A Little Love Into It

Top quality reissue of this double-A sider from 1977 featuring full 12' long versions of two hard-to-find disco bombs from soul songstress Eloise Laws. Both cuts were true Paradise Garage classics receiving heavy rotation on the NYC disco underground of the time and it's not hard to see why. First up is 'Love Goes Deeper Than That', a great pumping rump-shaker driven along by some seriously bad-ass percussion and squelching bass topped with Ms Laws' searing vocals. Flip over for serious floor-filler 'Put A Little Love Into It', a soulful slo-mo groover laced with super-funky horns, unstoppable bass and some neat steel pan touches. A superb release - don't miss!

Super hot limited vinyl reissue featuring two highly sought after 1981 Afro Boogie monsters by Nigerian songstress Oby Onyioha on the original Lagos based Time Records label. With production credited to Jake Sollo protegé Lemmy Jackson, both tracks here are stunning - 'Enjoy Your Life' is a proper funk bomb with heavy bass, gorgeous layered strings and a faultless vocal performance from Ms Onyioha while 'I Want To Feel Your Love' is an irresistible smooth sweet gem, with Oby's serene vocals light as a summer breeze over the top of a serious Afro boogie groove. Highly recommended!

Wonderful remastered reissue of the impossible to find Afro Disco bomb 'Sex Revoluton' by Max B, originally released back in 1978 on the tiny Spanish label Movieplay and now changing hands for big bucks with collectors. All tracks are great but the real standouts here are the super funky percussion-heavy title track 'Sex Revolution' plus the full-length nine and a half minute LP version of the killer flute-driven Afro groover 'Super Bwana' as well as the incredible and highly sought after Serge Gainsbourg inspired 'Possesion', a sleazy slow burner with sultry French spoken word vocals.

Paqua - Akaliko 2x12"

Akaliko 2x12"

2x12inchC56LP006
Claremont 56
16.06.2014

Paqua unveil their debut album, Akaliko, a Buddhist word meaning 'Timeless' !
Back in 2012, a 12' slipped out with little fanfare that introduced a new transatlantic trio: Paqua. That record, the hazy, low-slung psychedelic rock masterpiece 'Dinosaur Zappa' was merely a taster; a year later, the trio followed it up with 'Late Train', a dub-soaked Balearic rock chugger that went on to become an anthem at open-air parties around the globe.

'Timeless' is an apt description for an album that bristles with sun-kissed beauty, fuzzy guitars, impeccable instrumentation and far-sighted late night charm.
It is, in essence, a perfect fusion of the renowned styles of its creators, British DJ/ producer Paul Murphy (AKA Mudd, famed for his deliciously Balearic compositions for Rong Music and his own Claremont 56 label), longtime collaborator Alex Searle, and Quinn Luke from New York's Phenomenal Handclap Band, an act renowned for their funk-fuelled, flash-fried take on disco-inspired rock. With these three at the helm, you're in safe hands.

The supporting musical cast includes Phenomenal Handclap Band drummer Patrick Wood, percussionist Patrick Dawes (famed for his work with Groove Armada), and Faze Action's Robin Lee, who provides cello on a number of tracks. It's a thoroughbred consortium that helps provide Akaliko with a textured musical richness that's never less than intoxicating.

Across the album's eight tracks, Paqua run through a range of styles, from the Latininfluenced shuffle of 'These Things Will Come' and disco-flecked dancefloor stormer 'Ruby Running Faker', to the blissful Balearic rock shuffle of 'We Are What We Are' and stoned dub-rock-disco shuffle of the title track, which builds in layers towards a breathless climax. The band's two acclaimed singles, 'Dinosaur Zappa' and 'Late Train', sound as resplendent as ever amidst such heady sounds.

A unique collection featuring four rarities from the early career of genre-straddling New Wave heroes Talking Heads that all became hits on the underground dancefloors of New York and Chicago. First up is the brilliant 1979 African influenced 'I Zimbra', a tough tribal workout with hypnotic bongo beats and chants. Next comes 'Pull Up The Roots' with its fantastic uptempo guitar riff, slap bass and David Byrne's unmistakable voice. Flip over for the grinding hypnotic groove of much celebrated off-the-wall dancefloor bomb 'Once In A Lifetime'. And finally, another down-tempo burner 'Born Under Punches', once again taking the disco into dirty and dark territory with a rough relentless b-line and mournful discordant vocals. A superb sampler of the originality and genius of the early Talking Heads - great stuff!

Groove Armada - Late Night Tales Pres. Automatic Soul (3lp+mp3)

It is 1983 and you've just stepped into your Ford Capri with your girlfriend Julie. You live in Harlow, but in your head you're really somewhere near Salou in Spain, next to your yacht. But the thing you really love is soul and they play nothing but at Sups in Loughton. OK, so It's not 1983 at all. It's 2014, but listening to this electrofied soul, will put you back in the zone. Tom Findlay, one half of Grammy-nominated Groove Armada, has put this collection together: a stamp of authenticity in itself. Tom has also put a few of these through the edit wringer, reworking many of the tunes for maximum towelling sockability.

You'll probably recognise a few tunes. There's Mtume's incredible 'Juicy Fruit', still sounding advanced and modern, while 'I Specialize In Love, mixed by disco legend Tee Scott, is even older yet sounds equally perky.

The 1980s was a period that was pretty much owned by Minneapolis thanks to Prince and former cohorts Jam & Lewis and the latter weigh in with a pair of killer productions, Thelma Houston's 'You Used To Hold Me So Tight' and Alexander O'Neal's 'What's Missing'. And since this is Late Night Tales, there is always our exclusive cover version, this time done by Findlay and Tim Hutton's Sugardaddy, who've delivered an ace version of 'Don't Look Any Further'.

Grab yourself a bar stool, order a cocktail, take a sip and make believe you're lying on a shagpile carpet with the soul star of your dreams.

Bill Brewster

Automatic Soul, like my previously compiled Late Night Tales Music For Pleasure, is based very much on a sound. It's a sound that I feel has been overlooked: 80s R&B-infused music, with drum machines, synths and invariably brilliant vocals. It's formed the bedrock of my rare groove sets for all the years I've played. It's not the most fashionable, but to me it's the perfect marriage of technology and soul, hence the title for this album, Automatic Soul. There are plenty of songs I could have included, and no doubt some that I shouldn't, but I've tried to represent what's best to me from this era. It's not a classic Late Night Tales. It's a pretty personal journey, which I hope some of you might be willing to share... Tom Findlay Groove Armada September 2014.

Ike Strong - Boogie Land

Ike Strong

Boogie Land

12inchW1126
21.02.2011

Top quality remastered reissue of Ike Strong's disco boogie classic Boogie Land. Originally released back in 1981 on the tiny underground disco label Willker, this dancefloor bomb is now hugely in-demand. Both sides are absolute killers - the A side features great vocals from Ike Strong over super funky phat bass and wah wah guitars but don't forget the flip side where the groove get stripped down to the bare instrumental funk with just the relentless driving female vocal 'You can't help but dance when you hear it Boogie land' - she couldn't be more right! Must have.

Various - Tropical Disco Hustle

It seems like no part of the world has evaded disco's ubiquitous in­uence, including the Caribbean. The Caribbean in the late '70s and early '80s was a hotbed of musical activity and this compilation focuses on the best disco-in­uenced tracks from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. All of the tracks here were o-cially licensed and reissued for the first time ever. Highlights of the 13 tracks included on this compilation are: the under-the-radar cosmic disco tune "Got To Have You" by Joanne Wilson, a rare P&P Records-in­uenced track "Dance With Me" by Odessey One, the icy cool synth-trenched "Living On A String" by Wild Fire, the incredible dance ­floor-friendly "Instant Funk" by Merchant, and the disco reggae cover of "Rapper's Delight" by Prince Blackman. This compilation was compiled and researched by Deano Sounds and includes edits by Al Kent, the Whiskey Barons, and Waxist Selecta.
