PLAYRJC 007EP
|
Accompanying the miraculous LARJ edition by Arto Mwambe, this piece of vinyl features two previously-unreleased trinkets. The Berlin-Moss axis under guidance of the Sex Tags Mania emperors delivers two remixes that are exclusively available on the vinyl platter. With some help by the reclusive Don Papa, DJ Sotofett and some other mystical people, these friendly characters grace Arto Mwambe's "Midi Vice" with their unique voices and distinctive vision of what dance music can be.

Live At Robert Johnson Vol. 6 comes straight from Arto Mwambé's mind and out of their mixing desk guts. Instead of grabbing a bunch of records and gluing them together (i.e. the classic DJ mix CD), the dynamic duo that is melody boy Phillip Lauer and rhythm doctor Christian Beißwenger decided to do exactly that which sets them apart from most of their peers: to play live (as in "live" and not as in pressing the space bar on a laptop). They simulated an hour in front of the club's audience and went with it. The classic Roland drum machine sound aesthetic walks hand-in-hand with prominent bass lines, playful synthesizer sounds, sweet melodies, joyful piano finger exercises and even a hidden stripe of acid here and there. All these uplifting elements take turns like good players in tennis doubles and are graced with that much-needed and often dearly-missed element of surprise, spontaneity and wit. In the same way as tracks like "Love Lifted" or "Greatest Love" flirted with the past, present and future of house, disco and leftfield sounds in their original form on Arto Mwambe's usual home base -- the revered and passionate vinyl-only label Brontosaurus -- the cleverly altered live versions bewitch their old and new audience once again. Plus, you will meet some new next best friends as well. Arto Mwambé prove that it is their own very special sound signature that makes you fall in love with them.

BS 009EP
|
$12.00
NOT IN STOCK, SPECIAL ORDER
"Mystery man is back in the game with his 4th 12" release after 'Girl You Know It's Arto Mwambe' (Punkt), 'Mudhutma' & 'Hum Along' (both Brontosaurus) and several remix productions for labels like Tiny Sticks, Output Recordings (RIP), Careless and Spectral. It's not a secret that everyone has a crush on Mwambé these days. This time he delivers a tribute to his home country Burkina Faso with his version of the national anthem with X-Ray synthie power and clonky bass struggle -- redefining the peak in peak-time. The flipside goes down deep & dirty with eccentric bass activity and the loose Mwambo touch. Love it or love it."

"'Hum Along' is one of the earliest productions of Mr. Mwambé. He started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. Only Brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this licky-boom-boom-down house 12". To complete the commotion, full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator Move D from the beautiful city of Heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track -- reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late '90s German disco/house productions. The B-side 'Greatest Love' continues where Arto's Mudhutma 12" ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep house music."
