It's the kind of project that brings the old mad scientist cliché out for an airing, "It's insane, but it just might work." The insanity in this case being a motley cast that features Andy Moor (The Ex, Amsterdam), Desmond Denker (Cologne), Phanton (Cologne), Yürke (Düsseldorf), Dubby King Knarf (Knarf Rellöm, Hamburg), Istari Lasterfahrer (Hamburg), and Begritty (Cologne) laying down their versions of tracks from the demento-a-go-go-electro-pop-rock-mono-mind known as Zea a.k.a. Arnold de Boer. This bastardised 12"-slab of wax has Zea sonically re-assessed, dissected and twisted inside out. And it had to happen, it had to be made. It's the punky pop intro of the song 'Staande ben ik vergeten wat ik dacht toen ik lag,' the Dutch translation of the first sentence of the song that provided the title for this collection of remixes.

GRAPH embarks on a search for sound beyond trends in electronic music. The focus is on sound and rhythm structures that are constructed and deconstructed with the help of digital musical instruments and effects. The focus is on the attempt to create a living, organic "sound space". On their seventh release, GRAPH work with vocals for the first time in their 17-year history, and the result is amazing. The track "Mad World (astonished)" is a dystopian cover version of the Tears For Fears classic, wrapped in GRAPH's typical electronic sound, atmospherically dense and darkly produced. With "Instabil", GRAPH present another completely newly produced track with vocals. The whole thing is rounded off with a fresh remix of "Instabil" by Cologne producer Bob Humid. The release is stunning, amazing, always unconventional and very Düsseldorf!

For some, melancholy is the joy of being sad. But for A Rocket In Dub, the reawakened project of Düsseldorf producer Stefan Schwander, also known under pseudonyms like Antonelli Electr. or Harmonious Thelonious, Viktor Hugo's famous saying always applies. Two years ago, the Düsseldorf producer and musician released a 4x7" box set on Krachladen Dub, his first release after a break of 17 years at the time. Now, two years later, nine new tracks follow as a long player, double vinyl release. Even more experimental, more playful, more hypnotic and with a trombone! Monotony is nice! The rocket is back in the club, teaching genres like house and minimal Jamaican dub deepness again. Third Album from A Rocket In Dub with past releases on Italic Records and Krachladen Dub.
