Wow… great track, great remix package. ‘Don And Sherri’ originally drew plaudits from its inclusion on Dear’s ‘Asa Breed’ album and hear it gets the remix treatment from MANDY and Hot Chip. MANDY strip it back to a sparse, dark re-rub that works particularly well thanks to the tonal bassline. On the B side Hot Chip cover the track in their excellent style, weighing in with a vocal and instrumental mix that are just astounding. Also on the package (as if there hasn’t been enough already) is DJ Koze’s remix of ‘Elementary Lover’, a warped string-led stepper. Excellent.

shitkatapult
Founded in 1995 by MARCO HAAS aka T.RAUMSCHMIERE and ULLI BOMANS aka SCHIERES, SHRUBBN!! set out to delight the world with their dirty-filthy-but-swinging-groovy-noise-improvisations – or SNOT-POP, as they like to call it.
Never in the same city at the same time and always busy with other projects, this initial burst of enthusiasm was followed by an extended break … now, twelve years later, SHRUBBN!! are back together – and back for good with their long-awaited first 12“”MOLLY RHUBARB / BRANDENBURG” that will be released on MUSICK now.
Expansive to the core, this is not the sound of cosy, scaled-down harmony. Both expertly whittled, sprawling statements claim and fill their own side of the record. “MOLLY RHUBARB” draws strength and focus from Boman’s distinctive vocals and crystal-clear aural language. Instead of delicate reverb and carefully balanced, minimal sound packets, SHRUBBN!! give us music of one mind, of one piece: rough exterior, tough core.
Down on the dance floor, where the fog starts to thicken and the strobes flash that little bit harder, machines and punters alike bow to the magic of SHRUBBN!!, to its mad intensity.
Local anthem “BRANDENBURG” takes out the lights for sightless abandon – why look around when you could be moving, dancing, SHRUBBN!!
Out of the club and into the world, SHRUBBN!! just received the seal of approval of DEPECHE MODE singer DAVE GAHAN, who was so taken by their – unsolicited – remix of his song “deeper and deeper” that he decided to have it released soon.
(In)famous dirt slinger of electronic music, “SHITKATAPULT” is celebrated for the sheer diversity and inventiveness of its roster. Nevertheless, after the resounding success of label founder MARCO HAAS aka T.RAUMSCHMIERE’s club stompers, people came to expect an unending stream of further punk rock rave anthems like “MONSTERTRUCKDRIVER” – easily consumable fodder for press, retailers, and distributors. “You expect us to actually LISTEN? Sorry, no time!” All of a sudden, amazing productions by ingenious whizzes like APPARAT; ANDERS ILAR and others seemed out of place.
To counter this development and realign the mother ship SHITKATAPULT, in 2004 the label spawned its dedicated spin-off MUSICK (to play in the club), a haven for club fodder, rave monsters and DJ faves. Tried, tested and truly established after 18 releases, MUSICK proves that there’s no room for compromise between the beats of JERRY ABSTRACT, PETER GRUMMICH, DJ FLUSH, ELASTIC HEADS or HOLZ.
2007 saw the first album releases (HAKAN LIDBO and most recently Oliver Greschke aka MAGNUM 38) and the latest additions to the catalogue, MUSICK 19 and 20, promise further sensational highlights for tough dance floor action by DAVE TARRIDA and now SHRUBBN!!

LOPAZZ AKA Stefan Eichinger is a multi-media artist from Heidelberg, Germany. With four solo 12″ releases on the Berlin label, he is one of the rising stars of Get Physical. For this release DJ HELL has won him over to International Deejay Gigolos. This is LOPAZZ debut release for Gigolo Records and another first is that it is also Gigolos first download only release – it will be available in MP3 and high quality WAVs through the Gigolo homepage and on selected download platforms including Beatport. You can be sure that LOPAZZ, who has had four solo 12″s on Get Physical plus releases on Output, Lazergun and Compost and also runs his own label HD800Achtspur, knows what works on the dancefloor and how to produce a track accordingly. The lead track, Fuck Me, is like an electro shower raining down on your ears. In keeping with the title, it has a sensuous booty shaking beat so the lyric “i just wanna hold your hand” is a little ironic. Watermelon Man has a dirty acid touch which you might expect with the tune featuring long term Gigolo SAVAS PASCALIDIS. The production is tight and includes some great mechanical sounds that give it an industrial edge. The presence of SAVAS PASCALIDIS who runs his own Lazergun records and has had two albums on Gigolo really makes the track too. What Should I Do is a glorious slice of funk-soul. A slap bass groove pins the whole thing down while a heart breaking soul vocal by DEAFNY MOON floats over the lovely house-tinged beats. LOPAZZ has mixed and been remixed by the likes of Sven Vaeth, Tiefschwarz, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Cpt. Comatose and many others. So its about time, you might say, that he enters the acclaimed house of Gigolo. These three tracks are all quite different and its this eclectically varied nature of the track that make the release ideal for Gigolo. Gigolo proves itself forward thinking with Fuck Me by putting it out as download only and of course, supporting new talent, which LOPAZZ undeniably is.

Underworld
Discogs
After a five-year hiatus, Underworld return with an album that draws from across their past. With a mix of aggression and sunshine, they calculate syncopated, ricocheted beats against cleanly delineated textures and circumscribed melodies that have the cool of the 1980s New Romantic movement from which they originally sprang as Freur. Kraftwerk is in the DNA of their sound, but they’ve moved well past that, incorporating elements of hip-hop and industrial music into the mix. I wonder if Underworld’s later mix of poetic spoken-word songs affected Brian Eno’s recent work with poetry and music, because the influence seems to have boomeranged back in the vocal cadences of tracks such as “Ring Road.” Like some of Eno’s work, Karl Hyde’s frequently treated, monotone talk-singing vocals could have been time-shifted from a beat-poetry reading of the early ’60s. The only thing missing is the bongos. When his voice is processed, it merges as part of the sound field, but when his voice is relatively unaltered, as on “Good Morning Cockerel,” it just becomes tedious. The best tracks on Oblivion with Bells are also the most ambitious. “Crocodile” has some lovely, almost Gregorian harmonies, while “Beautiful Burnout” is an epic journey with broad synthesizer chords sweeping by like headlights before segueing into a joyfully ritualistic electro-percussion tribal workout. But after that pair of opening tracks, you have to wait until the very last piece, a long, trancey bit of psychedelic drift called “The Best Mamgu Ever,” to hear something more than unformed melodies and unstrung ideas. Underworld can reach higher ground.

Alter Ego
“Why Not?!” continues where “Transphormer” stopped. But it is dirtier and rougher and much more fun and rush. Just listen and get into it. Roman Flügel & Jörn Elling Wuttke, make brilliant sounds.

Not many labels established in the 90s have managed to achieve a consistent advancement without straying from their roots. Even less labels have managed to create a true brand thanks to their very own aesthetic of sound and artwork that is loved and respected by DJs and producers around the globe.
Sender Records is one of these labels. Being brought on the air by Benno Blome in Cologne in 1999, it has 69 catalogue numbers so far – presenting old skool legends like A Guy Called Gerald or Baby Ford, rave-pros like Misc. and Jake Fairley or young talented artists like Bloody Mary and Andre Crom.
Thanks to hits like Bond & Blomes ‘Tentacular’, the past year has been a very good one for the Berlin-based imprint. There is always a place for Sender Records in the charts and cases of countless DJs, also hardly one issue of the Groove Magazine can make it without a Sender release in its Top 50 charts.
So it is time for a topical work feature around the label! Wearing the fitting title From Antenna to Antenna 1, it contains a 17-track-CD mixed and compiled by label-head Benno Blome with a best-of from recent releases that have been released previously only on vinyl and with four previously unreleased tracks.
The mix starts with elegant spheric sounds and deep grooves and slowly escalates with Miscs Tanz der Polymere in the Hemmann and Kaden Remix, before And Again aka Someone Else has his turn with his unmistakable beats, followed by the frisky sequences of Bond & Blomes Tentacular, fierce synth-excesses by Error Error, skew hooks on Corbera, the bass-orgy Boita Musiq and loads of more Sender-highlights. The end is built on the timeless layers of Baby Fords Messenger Vox and Radaar Menue by WeltZwei.
With From Antenna to Antenna 1 Benno Blome presents the status quo of the label and its full bandwidth in a narrative way.

Sun Electric is to ambient music what The Sex Pistols is to punk music. But since electronic abandoned the pathetic poses of rock music, nobody had to die to make this unique band history. Sun Electric members Tom Thiel and Max Lodenbauer dissolved in other projects, tearing out an insatiable piece of the map of electronic music.
Sun Electric is regarded as innovators of ambient music – or electronic listening music or intellegent dance music – depending on what you prefer of the empty tokens of music journalism. After electronic music exploded in the late eighties/ early nineties, the music seemed more or less to be restricted to forming the heartbeat of homogeneous party crowds. Like The Orbs Dr. Alex Paterson, Loderbauer and Thiel realised the music to be more than that. They allowed the sounds to detach themselves from the action on the dance floor to lead a life by themselves.
