SoulPhiction follows 2014's Riot Party EP with Riot Party II, delivering more club music off the beaten track. He induces trademark claustrophobic pressure on "Amerika," provides some moody downbeat slickness on "Misty Roots," and serves up an acid-tinged tool called "Bricks" that twists and twitches in and out of shape.

Double LP version. Includes download code. Imagine there is a seven-headed rhythmic beast with a percussionist, drummer, bassist, keyboardist, two horn players, and a DJ up on the stage embracing the musical totality of the world without any folklore kitsch, its subtlety and urban club grooves crossing various genre-divisions. That beast is Feindrehstar. This unique band, based in Jena, Germany, has long been known for its ability to capture that live energy in studio recordings. Feindrehstar now present their second album, Love & Hoppiness, following their 2010 debut album Vulgarian Knights (MKR 004CD/LP). A lot has happened in the meantime: countless club and festival gigs, an inspiring African tour, and countless hours spent working in the studio. Love & Hoppiness matured over three years; the first recordings developed in the fall of 2012 with Michel Baumann (Soulphiction, Jackmate) and Nik Reiff in Stuttgart. Further overdubs with trombone, cello, guitar, and vocals followed at various home studios and conservatories. That's right -- vocals have been introduced to this otherwise instrumental band. Owing to these vocal tracks with Dave Aju, Ebo Taylor, and Tina Keserovic, Feindrehstar's sound continues to develop. Jazz, soul, and funk vibes shine through on tracks like "Antelope," a track featuring the vocals and guitar of legendary Ghanaian musician Ebo Taylor. It was clear right from the start that everything clicked with Dave Aju; the smooth, soul-soaked hip hop of "From Bob to Stevie" is a standout track. Feindrehstar call their music "krautclub," and the reason for this becomes clear on "Caje Sukarije," with a classic Balkan funk sound taken over by wild synth loops fused together in a haze of electro-funk. It is in fact a Roma anthem sung by Keserovic. The completely acoustic ballad "Love & Hoppiness Int." anchors the album in a captivating calm with cello and clarinet. Despite the many new directions, the genre-defying yet danceable club sound of Feindrehstar remains. "Love & Hoppiness," "Deep Horse," "Shake That," and "Night Rainer Diskodub" show once again that after 15 years of rocking dance floors, Feindrehstar's energy hasn't diminished.

In the woods of wonderful Thuringia, Germany, a group of culture-enthusiasts run Cucuma, a three-day festival every summer, off the beaten festival track and far away from PR hustle and bustle. Metaboman has been jamming at Cucuma forever, as half of Das Krause Duo, as DJ Kajak, or with other artists. The Cucumagic EP is based on Metaboman's experimental live sound project; a shadow-dance theater performance he presented at the festival in 2014. The EP contains the spirit of this prime piece of land under swaying poplars. A deeply compelling groove with a jazzy vibe and smoke blasts.

Boris Mezga aka Comfort Fit is no amateur; his chilled beats launch into orbit, the work of a specialist on the borders of hip-hop, electronic, abstract, jazz, broken beat, Detroit techno. Since 2001 he has moved through various styles, and here he delivers tracks to ignite and extinguish. The EP's title is a reference to the Hungarian television series Mézga Aladár különös kalandjai (The Adventures of Aladár Mézga), starring the eponymous animated character who could be Comfort Fit's big brother -- the resemblance is particularly apparent when Aladár inflates his spaceship from his violin case.

Fuck Yeah! aka Weiderrich Bruno Walz has punk in his heart and techno in his stomach. These two tracks attest to his love of music production: "Granatapfel" is a special rave-anthem; open air and fog machines have a place here. "Mount Julip" is a percussive safari stomper full of deep and hypnotic movement activity. Fuck Yeah! toils happily in his studio or live on stage, turning knobs and pushing buttons, and his music is best used when wilding out!

Soulphiction aka Michel Baumann's music animates you because of the natural quality of his rhythms. This soulfulness and warmth that he brings out from the machines is simply phat like nothing else. Independent from the breeze in the studio, these tones must be released into the world. Musik Krause takes it in. The result here is five songs that are old-school yet modern.

Rainer Maria Silke aka Berk Offset is in many respects a kind of brain surgeon and at the same time literature researcher. For his second Musikkrause release he has installed a few cables in the Thuringian Forest to come up with those rare, feverish, glandular whistlers. This active compulsion (of course, with the proper official forestry license) has resulted in a collection of four electrical hunting trophies and therewith proven the Riemann hypothesis: the forest is sound.

Triple LP version with free download. This is the debut album from Metaboman. As a part of the Krause Duo, Metaboman is well-versed in party culture. All ten songs on this bonafide club album set the mood and vibes between skillful, grooving rhythms. This music in a club context stands far above the plain acoustic shock and scream. Is it a party record? But of course, yet with not a little insubordination, depth, plumes of smoke and indulgence. Metaboman has always had his own vision, which plays out and mirrors his own authentic uniqueness. He doesn't find sounds -- he finds shapes and forms in the progressive sense -- not the new sounds but rather the new forms. He's not merely about the subterranean bass drum, but rather, telling his own story. He gives his pieces space and depth, and the music is positioned somewhere within a sonic cosmos. This music is the easily-understood sonic language of Metaboman.

With explorations into the wide spectrum of the techno-scape, Robag Wruhme offers a celebratory dinner for the peristalsis between the head and stomach. The stomach is kind of like a kettledrum -- a hollow container placed under stress. If this container is filled with air, the walls of the stomach vibrate and in this space, a grumbling sound issues. Here is where the beat chef puts an end to the grumbling sound. The meal he serves up will stick to your ribs.

The great strength of Feindrehstar lies in their engaging and dynamic live-show on the stage. If you see them once, you must see them again. Their latest on Musikkrause is supported by producers such as Axel Reinemer (Jazzanova), Michel Baumann (Soulphiction) & Wendelin Weiflbach (Metaboman, Krause Duo). The Triller EP brings an overdose of life into the room with an acoustic eruption of club music euphoria that manages a happy medium of exhaustion for all involved.

Paul-David Rollmann aka Even Tuell is one of the co-founders of the Workshop label and belongs to the class of those who answer the call for effective art, design and indulgence. With this EP, he highlights a raw and coarse club music sound without losing even a breath of aesthetic. All three pieces sound as if they were crafted from centuries' old tools, in the way that his music is filtered through the machines -- humanized and charged with a kind of essential honesty.

Ian Simmonds presents two sonic rockets at the ready to be blasted off into the auditory world. His penchant for percussive rhythm in connection with a powerfully meditative character is one of a kind. In spite of a multiplicity of tones, melody fragments and densely-packed rhythmic finery, the tracks manage an unbelievably well-organized deepness. For the new Musik Krause, he brings forth cinematic adrenalin and sensuality for free-spirited dancers.

Berk Offset presents funky Dada techno for culture-drunks and solar plexus beatniks. The flowing lyricist Rainer Maria Silke is known as a techno-activist. For Musikkrause, Berk Offset mimes Doris with filthy, straight-lined techno avant-garde for a life in dancefloor heaven. He is the charming psychiatrist with the melting grin and the right medicine, who muses from time to time over the effectiveness of shock therapy.

Krause Duo's production is constructed as a free-spirited bunch with a special twist. It doesn't matter whether the material is with a jazz catalog, a frizzy sound, a dragging house or a techno press. Ian Simmonds is comfortably on hand for both sides of the vinyl disc in the studio. Out comes two monumentally deep waltzes full of raunchy charm and a knee-deep appreciation for jazz. Spiritual dance music that will give you a ghostly slam.

Musik Krause presents the debut album by Feindrehstar. The Jena natives have made a life on the stage as a collective over the last 10 years. Their music so far, spread out over a couple of 7"s and CDs, makes an exhilarating connection between the functional and the ornamental. Their hard-working dance music translates perfectly live on stage with a house essence, a dose of hip-hop, and a funk and jazz base. The sextet is composed of trumpet, saxophone, scratches and samples, bass, percussion, drums, Rhodes and keys, all assembled into an interesting sonic garden. As a unit of virtuoso composers with serious sonic tools, Feindrehstar presents The Vulgarian Knights. The recording took place together with Axel Reinemer and Immo Wischhusen (Flowin' Immo) in Jazzanova Studio in Berlin. The energetic, urban rhythm architecture is credited to brilliant co-production work by Michael Baumann (Soulphiction/Jackmate). From a pure, jammed-out playfulness there grows a sparkling conversation between the winds and the keys; some listeners will also sense a rugged funk, and others finely-honed jazz within an improvised setting. It is the pact between stage excesses and club integrity that Feindrehstar does so well.

Feindrehstar is comprised of seven gentlemen from Jena, Germany and their music is situated somewhere between the stage and the club. To convert their work into a portable medium so that DJs and patrons are happy, the band went to Axel Reineimer and Immo Wischhusen (Flowin Immo) in the Jazzanova Studio in Berlin. Produced by Michael Baumann (Soulphiction/Jackmate), the group presents a full, super-sound 12" that is a teaser to their first album.

Musik Krause presents a 12" package of reworked tracks off of Ian Simmonds' The Burgenland Dubs (MKR 003CD/LP) album. "Lutherstreet Blues" is a superb late-night mover with horns from Martin Rudolf. Krause Duo's rework of "Kon 1" is bowed from the original and resides in its own cosmos. Dave Aju tightens the broken drum storm of "The Esel" into a straight beat corset, and Even Tuell dares to try the complex and percussive "Speak," which is taken apart and dissected.

Robag Wruhme returns toting three nuggets which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for horns, and a warm coolness. Dark, complex and almost avant garde. For all intents and purposes, a Lindenberg with Kafka-esque posing on a steamer, turned in the direction of the Ziller Valley. All three have a frugal consumption of a mere 4 liters per 100km, and there is still a healthy acceleration here that is lively and quick.
